Florida's PP is still trash
Do the panthers know what a system is on the pp?
They looked like they never had a man adv brfore
welp my gf going to sleep lmao, im watching the nhl game
atleast lakers haven't lost at home yet, hope they win those 2 games
Lebron’s status is important
not "hope", "have to"
oh my lebronn
LOL
So there is a chance they get swept?

Gets a gift steal and whiffs the lay up
LETSGOOOOOOO
he missed a layup earlier didn't he
A layup and a dunk
also glad my gf didn't see that
missed layup and dunk
yeah
Just not our day
Great day today fr
Vinny how can u root for Denver bruh
Let’s go nuggets
Kimmy...
I’m rooting for who I picked to win it all since January and I love Jokic
Nuggets babyyy
Jokic better than ad
Sab too 
Absolutely
Bruh I've been against LA on principle
100%
Forever
lmao
Can I ask why sab lol
LOL
I hate LA
Like
wow
The city
Nuggets go 2-0
Denver up 2-0
I’m a laker hater too
It's just. The worst.
BRUCEEEEE
LA hate is too real
Tough for the Lakers
They all looked gassed
Most of California I kindly will decline to visit
Good game
At least now I can focus on hockey
Murray got hot in the fourth
High altitude kicks your ass
Tell me what happens
LA is the centre of no thanks
11 minutes left for ot guys
It does
he was so cheeks before that but yeh he showed up
LET ME GET MY JEANS ON!!!!
I apologize to Murray for clapping back at the assertion by that one announcer that he wasn't carrying the team, at the end he did just that
But not stealing one hurts
Great game by him
let jamal breathe lol
Deadass😂😂😂
nuggets in 4?
No way lol
Shiiiiiiiddddd

FUGG IT NUGGIES SWEEP
I still stand by Nuggets in 6, but I can see 5
Has LeBron ever been swept in the playoffs? I can't remember that ever happening
RAY!!!! 
My hate knows no bounds
i dont think so
what a 4th quarter by murray
Friend hi 
im hurt too

That lebron play killed my soul
Florida getting chippy
Lebron and ad hella sold
nahh lakers are still undefeated at homecourt
Who woulda thought the sore losers would be gross, chippy, and cheap
Yes to 06-7 spurs in the finals
fr bro, rui had to get 20 points bc of their bad performance
Murray is filthy, dirty, disgusting
🫂
Could not miss
I am not well 
Nuggets in 5
Hopefully we get some better calls at home
It was a good game though for real. Upset Lakers didn't get the W but it was a good game to watch
We need them free throws cause clearly we can't make no layups
Canes PP coming
indeed, that was a playoff game right there
High sticking on Duclair
My husband is a Denver fan so we be yelling lol
"Only 33 teams in 447 seven-game playoff series have ever come back to win. Yeah, that’s just above a cool seven percent." History is not kind to teams with that kind of deficit
hope so, no excuse thou. We had this game but we blew
lmao, if you see how my gf gets upset
and I can imagine you both
Straight up 😂 our poor baby
lmao
FGDI
She's a Lakers fan btw. I will fight my husband to the death over that
Come on Carolina end this shit
Oh yeah! I had my baby Saturday!
Congrats Ray!!
Congrats Ray

The delivery went well but once she was out it went bad for me. But I'm good now!

She's 8lbs 4oz and a little early so she's healthy lol
Dats a big bb
You know!
She has huge cheeks lol
Congrats

Buy her some baby laker shirt and over time shell love it... if it was me thou i would buy a clipper shirt
I’d buy a warriors shirt
Buy a kings shirt, make her a little rebel
No no a Orlando magic shirt
no, If I ever had a child and i see someone gift my child anything warriors related, im burning it
Oh wait, you were saying to get them one
Why would you wish that pain on another human being?
Did Magic get a top 5 draft pick btw????

Okay I’ll give a w*rriors shirt 
6 and 11 
dude that rough buck
Could be worse
Why would i wish sports pain on anyone?
We used all our luck to get Paolo last year, I'm happy
Never having kids, but if I did I would just lightly pavlov but making new york and LA teams scary and call them "caca poopoo" and shit
I’ll make bears scary
For what it's worth I think you'd be a good dad
So they can’t be. A bruins or beats fan
I appreciate you Buc
No u
yo sab a mad hater lmao
I think you would as well. Easily
Well who knows when it’ll happen 
But kids aren't for me
Feel that
Lakers … you can’t do the is to me
I totally feel and respect that
Just one night of fun and …
Thanks I take big pride in it

Mmm, McRib
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED???
Hey at least you don’t have a doc
BOB lowkey got a dumpy 
It’s alright
Call that Bumrovsky
As a clipper fan, i always thought Doc was overrated
What the hell are you on my friend
It look like a coloured reaction to you?
Super weird
Me neither
Crowd is singing Blink-182, that's fucking cool
Carolina singing blink
ayo Buck mah boi 
What song is it I’m too young for that lol
Blink-182. A amazing band
Sixers are 6ft under. Sacrificed for the lakers
All the smalls things by Blink 182
Thanks
did kimmy just ask what all the small things was
Blink-182 carry me home
I’m 19 shut up
Stop being old
Lmao
Meahahahahahahhaa
No excuse
I love listening to Beatles songs and they came out in the 1960s
The lakers are getting SWWWEEPT
I don’t listen to clsssics much
which album thou ??
Im about to lose my fukken mortgage dawg
Beatles? Is that a car 
Abbey Road
And we got ot2
great choice my friend
The White Album is lowkey my favorite of there’s
I gonna oil up my wheelchair and tan your hide youngin
Beatles da Goat band
Fucking based choice
This dude has taste
I don’t listen to such old music 
Also fml this game is going to double OT

Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
On a side note apparently Bryce James is transferring from Sierra Canyon HS to Campbell Hall
Not even low key
Cook
Is your house a retirement home?
I legit don’t know any American high school/ prep school beyond sierra canyon
Mod abuse 
Not a mod 
Helper abuse then

Wonder if the players just pass out as soon as they get onto the bus after the game ends
Gosh how shit is FLA's defense, you've allowed 42 SOGs?
They literally are only alive because Bob turned into God
So I can build a shrine for samsonov and he’ll become a god?
is there a 3rd OT if it stays like this?
bruh how long can it go for, forever?
Yea
I thought hockey had shootouts
Regular season only
Yeh
It's stupid imo, there should be shootouts in the playoffs
Oh dang your cat died sorry Buc
Yeah that’s a really long time
About as old as I am funnilyvenough
Not sure what I’d do if I got a pet and it passed away
Death is sadly just a part of life. You grieve/mourn, you remember the good times, and eventually you just learn how to live without them
Doesn't get any easier when you do lose one but it's about the journey and not the destination
LeBron James tells @NBAonTNT “I’ll be ready on Saturday. I just stepped on the foot of AG. Nothing is keeping me from playing.”
328
Lmao lebron has to resort to these underhanded tactics now
Sad how far he’s fallen
💀
Arena was playing All Night Long by Lionel Richie
Poor taste man, come on
"This is now the longest game this year in the Stanley Cup playoffs" yeah no shit
Oh god please not 3 ot
All night long? What do they want it to last until 2 am lol
if footy didn't have penalty shootouts for cup tournaments I wouldn't be surprised if games last 4-5 hours lol.
It’s even wilder in the nhl since its any goal ends it
world cup used to have golden goal
Ah didn’t know that
I like the idea of it but it wasn't well received
I’ve only seen the current ot format
I do also
It’s ot man
Any score should end it
94 faceoffs???????
Bro I aint doing 3 OTs
Are you serious??????
Dang triple OT
What the fuck man
3OT time
Idk how I’d be functioning after that
I'll check the score in the morning man, I aint on the Canes payroll
Hhahahhahahaha
Laughs in 5OTs 
Yeah same I ain't invested enough to stay up and watch to ending
5OTs I’d be dead before I’d last that long
Is the game still going
Yes
Why is it not over
No penalties?
Is that a playoff thing?
King Henrik wants it to end also
I sat through 5OTs a few years ago.
Yes
Lundqvitz is at the game?
Can say I ate lunch, dinner, and a late snack while the Bolts and Jackets played 8 periods of hockey.
Ah that’s why I’ve never experienced it
Yep, in the 30s
could go on until the sun rises
The longest game I've ever seen in the 20 years of watching playoff hockey was that Bolts and Jackets game in the bubble.
The other one was I think Dallas and Vancouver in 07 I think
Which that one was 4OTs I believe.
What happens when the sun rises?
Damn
Really it can go on until they run out of guys
they get some quick breakfast and play on
Do they get milk with their breakfast
You know what else was 3OTs

Break...
3ot time
We want 4OT
We want 5OT
it really might go to a fourth
This is now officially the longest ever game in both teams’ franchise histories.
when do they do a shootout??
Wait so hypothetically this game can go on forever
yes
Nope. No SOs in the playoffs
4 OTs?
Yep lol
Aint no way theyre really going to 4OT 
It’s never going to end 😭
Poor NHL TNT team having to stay up at 1AM
I sat through my team playing 5 OTs a few years ago. You'll watch hockey forever and like it!

apparently 6 OTs is the record lol
Yep. both in the 1930s
120 min of game time that's crazy
5 OTs for this century
- however much is played in this next period
I think the longest game in nhl history went to 6ot 
Yes I just looked it up 
Always will say it. Game 1 of the 2020 playoffs Bolts and Jackets. It started at 3 PM and the game ended near 8:30.
i dont even watch hockey often and now i have to see how this ends
That’s insane
I'll never see my leafs hold off a team that long in ot 
I'm telling you, that game 1 alone has probably taken 10 years off my life.
Bunch of bums
I hate the leafs idk why i still support them
I was so close to buying a kraken jersey when they lost to Montreal in 2021
i feel bad for these guys in the studio lol
Some of the fans in Carolina are like passing out 
Hey, at least you made it past the first round? Really can't put a positive spin after that
Just to nearly get swept by Florida
Also doesn't help that leafs fans were chanting "we want florida"
And now your cap is fucked and many questions about coaching and FO. Have fun.
Please I just pray they finally get rid of matthews
Hes a bum in the playoffs
Sure he kind of showed up in round 1 against the bolts
But in round 2 he was a ghost
Yeah, a lot of the stars in Toronto become ghosts when it mattered most. You see, the difference between the Oilers and Leafs is their stars can carry a team past rounds alone. Matthews and company got all the help in the world and can only get 5 wins.
Yep
All the oilers need is McDavid and draisaitl
Honestly shocked they lost to vegas
Yeah you're right
Way too much offense
Same thing with the leafs
No defense, our goalies weren't the best this year
They better start Woll next season though
He was incredible against Florida
They could have made that leafs goal count in game 5 
You right 
Just like they could've made that Brayden Point goal count in Game 3. 
Crazy the rangers got knocked out in the 1st round
naw i felt it
devils played against our style
think a game 7 was more than fair. just sucks to have been up 2-0 but oh well
Really thought the Rangers had it all before the playoffs. They only gave me 2 games. smh
I thought Patrick kane would be the final piece for you guys
Just another reminder that it's another 25 years before the Rangers win another cup.
Oh fun fact I learned today
oh absolutely not
Did you know Matthew tkachuk and Jayson tatum were friends in high school 
54
54
Andersen has 45
Sheeeet
considering it can only happen in playoffs
we want 5
This is why shootouts should be a thing in the playoffs
Watching this game is making me miss Freddie 
mmm nah
This is ridiculous
fuck shootouts
Shootouts in hockey suck
we want 6
Word on the street is more former Leaf and Flames players are actually playing deep in the playoffs also.
true might as well get the record
Balkan imagine if the WC final went non stop without penalties
It should have been croatia not Argentina 
totally different
Not this time, Argentina destroyed Croatia
Mofos need to shoot it out fr
oh im not advocating for a shootout here
this is way better for hockey
just thinking of the same scenario in football
they play nonstop lol
Can Bob and Andersen stop being gods for one minute?
No
at least they get breaks lol. 3 20 minute periods w breaks versus 45 break 45 break
Yep and it's 1:30 AM baby
Yep
Florida cant sleep because of the amphetamines in the water
Carolina doesn't exist
therefore it cannot sleep
please tell me they don’t play again on Saturday
I think they do lmao
bruh
lmao, the game is still going?
This getting insane
You bet your ass they do.
that’s wild
Bring back the shootout 😭
And its also gonna be on TNT. Boy I hope that game doesn't go into OT again.
Fate the lakers lost bruh...
yea i was upset
Can't stop the joker
Ironically I just happen to be in Carolina right now. Let me cross the border in hopes this ends
but im over it till Saturday
Hes too busted
no worries fate
Murray * today
lakers going god mode at home
hopefully
CAPTAIN!!! 
im kinda a maybe to go to game 3
SAVED!!!
"Your power is incredible, Joker."
Lord the players look so gassed
Why would you try a backhand shot there?!
thats what im saying bruh
It's now 60 saves for BOB vs 53 for Anderson
Dude they are tired lmao
Lucky the Panthers are even in this. Barkov and company have made some weird ass decisions with the puck this game.
my hockey friends, what is the record of hockey played
6OT
ok back to zelda
The longest game clocked in 176:30 minutes
Now 8th smh
we want history

are the fans still there?
the fact that there's 7 more than it is nuts...
lmao yes
Some are falling asleep 
I'm seeing a lot of empty seats on the far side
Imagine they stay that long for an L
I'd be gone too
bro if I’m the home team and lose
I saw the Stars and Canucks play 4 OTs. But this is looking like 5 OTs rn
alright i cant do a fifth OT lmao
nahhhhh
It wouldn't be as bad if this game had started at like 3
Freddie meditating in his net 
But it didn't start till 8
some basketball games end at this time
2020 on the back of our minds.
who yall got winning thou? they both playing bad tbh
FLA
Fans yawning lmao
I pray Carolina since Florida eliminated the leafs 
feels like florida has been better these past few periods but also i dont really know hockey
The Panthers are gonna pull some BS here.
I mean it's 4OT in already a physically gruelling sport well past their normal bedtime
Hurricanes have an elite defense. It's pretty much why they're still in this.
wait is anyone here rooting for anyone specific
Naw
Nope not really
yeah that goalie going crazy
My teams out but with the teams left im going for Dallas
come on siren and buc, some Florida love
No. I never forget that both teams were once both Southeast rivals and I only wish either the Stars or Knights beat one of them in the Finals.
and think of the hurricanes as the panthers ironically enough
I'm too tired to love rn
the CAR panthers
ANDERSON!!!!
Holy what a save
I’m gonna go out there and score
oh my god
lmao that would be funny
Someone has to do it
Ping me when there's a winner if you're awake I'm gonna play Zelda blazed out my mind
Real shit
Like I would care about the Panthers. Took them 18 years to give me a reason to hate them. Don't need Sunrise having anything on us.
Bet
Lmao im trying to play zelda but im too invested in this damn hockey game rn
stick to playing Zelda lmao
LOLOL THE FAN
5th OT incoming
Bro is ZONKED
This gotta be top 5 longest playoffs games right?
8th longest last I heard
Let's put it this way. The last 5OT game was in an empty arena during the pandemic. This one is gonna have tired ass fans. lol
It’s 2am in Carolina lol
bro imagine the fans driving back home....
Someone just pick it up and put it in the net
they be 💤 💤 💤 💤 while driving
They’ll be the only ones on the road lol
And it's a school night.
what a miss
Cancel school tomorrow
My boy

imagine being a Canes fan and explaining why you look like shit a few hours later.
I’m calling off if I was at this game😂
Jokes on them that's what Canes fans normally look like 
Brent Burns has played 51+ minutes of hockey tonight
273
This game is at the point where if I lost I’d be absolutely crushed
Brent Burns is 38
He's made of wood he's fine
Some many good chances that the Canes defense just quickly stops
5 OT coming
Remember when this sport was boasting about the game becoming more a offense one? This game says otherwise.
Feels like Florida is gonna win
This what we call a slobberknocker
7th longest game now
Bob with 61 saves 
dude...
come onnnnn lmao
What a save
what a save
Bro maxed out his stats
That should have been it
damn 1 min to go

both goalies cooking
142 shots attempted for Carolina holy crap 
This ain’t even cooking at this point…this is something else
misery
Unholy
Looking like we're gonna see the 3rd 5OT game in over 80 years.
6th Longest Game now!!!!
GAME
wow
THANK YOU GOD
LMAOOO
ITS OVER
THERE
GOD DAMN IT
OHHH
RIP FANS
IT HAD TO BE TKACHUK TOO 
And that's a gut punch.
nooooooo

Off a dumb turnover.
Sab gone be pissed when he see this

What a devastating loss
Terribly dumb
Just heard some fan scream "YOU FAT FUCK!"

That’s a very sad way to lose that game

That's a big gut punch.
I told yall
lmao all those fans brooo
MATTY TKACHUK

At least when Point scored in 5OT. He shot long. This one was just error from the Canes.
Sabs worst nightmare rn
That sucks.
Seriously. Sad and anticlimactic ending
I feel bad for those fans fr fr
Matthew Tkachuk, whom the Hurricanes tried to acquire last July, ends it late in the fourth OT period just before we get to 2 am ET.
Make it 63 saves for Bobrovsky. Crazy.
109
Great way to rub in that wound.
Definitely calling into work if I’m a Canes fan lol
Game over
Panthers lucky I didn’t intervene
I hate that a former Flame is having the playoffs of his life on the fucking Florida Panthers.
Same man
Poor flames
Huge for FLA to steal one on the road
Holy hell, after almost 140 minutes and almost to 2 AM in Raleigh, the Florida Panthers score the game winning goal over the Carolina Hurricanes with 12 seconds left in quadruple OT.
There are Hurricanes fans pissed that this game robbed them of sleep. I don't blame them.
166
@hasty mesa may I get the NY giants role 
ggs bruh
Giants 
Yeah. poor Flames. 
12 seconds left man...
Poor guys rotting in Montreal I think
Embed fail? Or I just have bad service
Embed fail 
Bills are gonna have a really rough time this season I think
The dolphins and jets are looking scary
Booo bills
I really do regret ever growing attached that fucking team and Johnny Hockey. 2019 playoffs was not a good time for me with the Bolts or them. Fuck.
Feel bad for the pats
Bills still win east imo
Theyre just gonna get smoked
Pats only ones who ain’t doing shit
cant believe you go for the bills bro....
Only scary team to me is the chiefs. Mahomes just makes the impossible possible
It’s NY love 🙏
Feels like the type of loss Carolina won’t recover from
Wait let me check the list again to see who supports the cowboys
Off a dumb turnover. That one is gonna take a few games to fully recover.
The bills get so much hate 
They’ll recover. That team has too much chemistry to not pull it together imo
Aii I’m bullying azua this season
They know it sucks. But eat it and move on
Imagine getting divorced and your ex ends up with a team in
hi
Because they get too much hype for no reason
But those fucking Panthers really having a 2012 Kings run. And I hate it
Truly
I'm stoned and the spelling of Ohio here caused my brain to undergo the equivalent of Chernobyl
My b
Still can't believe he chose Ohio. He actively went to a worst team to get away from Calgary. I just can't-
Like I thought NJ. Maybe Philly
But COLOMBUS?
do they have his fucking nudes or something
You'd think NJ since he was born and raised there, but I guess the bagels weren't enough to seal the deal
Must be a big Browns fan.
Love a good bagel
Or he must be a fan of the legendary Scott the Woz.
Time for a bagel now
I'm going to sleep 
“You fat fuck”
Dump button guy fell asleep at the end there. Can’t blame him.
I knew I heard that
Yeah bro it was loud as hell on the broadcast
The silence of the crowd loud 😭
Anybody staying up for the game deserved to hear that lmao
Don’t make me hungry at 1am 😭
After nearly seven periods of hockey, Game 1 between the @Canes and @FlaPanthers is in the record books. #StanleyCup
#NHLStats: https://t.co/7Nc25cibAJ
I was at that wings game in 1936
Back when Detroit wasn't a complete embarrassment to US pro sports
What a time to be alive
Embarrassment, comedy. Same thing
We aren’t that much of an embarrassment rn other than the pistons
Tigers are mid, wings look up, lions look to be up
Quiet there, 14% chance of winning. 
few seconds away from top 5... damn
I have no rebuttal other than Adam silver clearly had David stern talking to him on the ouija board
Now that's just mean

Probably was a good thing the Tigers aren't the worst rn. Somehow they'd also get the 5th pick with 40 wins.
They truly haven’t been as bad as I expected. But they’ve looked very competent in some games. Not good at all, but better for sure
did the lightning win that game 1
So I will take it
YeP
Yes
Tigers just waiting to get out of that miggy contract
And I lost 10 years of my life after that game.
Revenge was sweet that run
Idk what they were thinking signing Baez to that contract either lol
Out of all the games that 2020 cup run. Brayden Point scoring in OT to eliminate the Jackets was the loudest I got.
Most of us questioned it here, we just accepted it
Even now I still don't know what the Tigers vision is.
Chris Illitch doesn’t even know what league the tigers play in im sure
Like Father like son.
He’s not the friendliest of folks either is all I’ll say. Crap owner and various other problems
Seriously
Where the madrid fans at
man the Lakers are finished
They going back to Spain
I told yall nuggets was gon pack The Lakers
Les go nuggets
Lakers in 6
Warriors in 6
True
Always remember blazers in 6
Dame winning in Portland soon fr
Blazers in 6 followed by:
Sweep
Curry averaging 37ppg
Blazers blowing a 17+ point lead in every game of the series
Who was it that said that
Actually was blazers in 6 a different year?
It was 😔
twitter malding cuz they don't wanna see the nuggets in the finals against the heat 
But I won’t clown for having confidence
I’ll mald with them
Lakers in 6
That’d be a great finals
Sorry agendas take precedent over actually watching the game of basketball
Tbf that’s why I want the Celtics gone
I just want boston gone because I want all northeastern teams to be miserable
Me and @honest umbra made an agreement to get lakers tattoos if they win the championship. They cant lose
Any final out of these would be good
I don’t like the lakers but I hope you at least get to the finals for the chance at that tattoo
Ofc I’d be malding if the Celtics won a ring
But as a basketball fan can’t deny that it’d be good ball
I’d rather Miami make it
Celtics can be streaky sometimes. But they’re still a great team
I just love their defense
Miami’s
i find the celtics so boring
They’re alright to me
When they’re clicking it’s cool to see the threes rain
But not like I watch them willingly anyways
I’d honestly love to see Jokic win a chip
The downside of that would mean that Stan Kroenke undeservedly got another chip but 
I reckon that's the reason they are down 2-0, mate
the universe is preventing such cringe from happening
I reckon you dont know what you're talking about
Oh you know the context of mine and fates conversation? Ok
nah i never said any of that
i said i do know it is cringe and that the universe is preventing it
i know what i know 
Not enough to judge obviously
Nothing. I was making a joke with fate earlier about what would we do if lakers win. I pinged him to see what he'll say since he didnt agree on the tat 
It is, pix probably has some insecurity on it and took the wrong way
no banter allowed
Even tho my msg was banter originally. Ok
Im sure he'll agree for that 
It’s a new day

https://vxtwitter.com/ocpdesigns/status/1659387923379236865?s=46&t=0dPhD14zL5uzVVpeHRQMfQ @rustic ore
screw it, the entire 2004 Stanley Cup game 7 between the flames and the lightning
Thanks babe
the lakers subreddit is a mixture of malding, coping and conspiracy theories
naturally, after former Flame Ryan Lomberg's overtime goal was disallowed, former Flame Sam Bennett set up former Flame Matthew Tkachuk for the actual OT winner
520
"why do the nuggets keep making adjustments to our adjustments ??? don' they know it's against the rules ?"

Thank you for your support muk
Np
@dim ledge decent tbh
ill buy it
WOW
BREAKING NEWS
Hearing Kyle Dubas will not be back as GM of Toronto
1057
311
@celest zephyr @rustic mountain
@ HOCKEY FANS - DUBAS OUT IN TORONTO
I mean something had to change
I genuinely think he’s a solid GM
Next up is their man baby looking HC I imagine
One year off and whoever gets him next summer will be a happy team, IMO
Yeah, Keefe out too
Well, that’s my guess, I agree
3pm conference for Toronto to the public
He improved them from previous decades. I think it’s harsh but yeah there has to be some heads cut to keep the fans happy
I didn't think he needed to go but oh well
At a certain point you have to be done with settling, I’ll take your word that they stabilized things but either they’re the ones to push you over the top or they’re not, being good is good enough for so long
Keefe most def gonma be gone
He just couldn't get it done. One playoff series win with that core and with the cap situation he put the team in, it probably was best he went.
He's gonna get another job. The only question is where?
I can see Dubas with the isles in 2024
10000%
Good GM, only 37 years old
Take a year off, get away from TO media
What we need to start questioning is Brendan Shanahan. Because clearly this Shanaplan is gonna be Shanadone the way things are done rn
Yes the contracts were poor in the end. Tavares especially comes to mind imo, didn’t need him. Shanahan I don’t think deserves anything from that org, he should go too
Otherwise I mean in 5 years they were a top 5-8 team in the league without a doubt. He was never scared to pull a trade, they found decent value in depth guys
Goalie situation was poor on his end too
Tavares contract was always gonna be bad near the end of it. The problem is and this is a problem with the Shanaplan was suppose to be successful 4-5 years ago when Tavares was still prime Tavares.
For sure
Then they started handing out contracts
And ofc it’s easier said than done but one of the glaring things for me … never found a defensive player who can generate something
Now watch Dubas turn the Isles into the next Tampa Bay Lightning.
Never really tried either
I think Isles would be a perfect fit for him, unironically. Have the goalie, one star forward, and then the rest of the team is pretty much aging or bubble guys
Kyle was Lamoriello's understudy after all
I’d take him
If management can promise him some time to let him settle and reset NYI… it’s a perfect spot for a young yet experienced 38 year old GM
But… that’s a story for another day
And if keefe wants a job as a coach we’re also in need
https://twitter.com/gopherhockey/status/1659593317087080456?s=46&t=0dPhD14zL5uzVVpeHRQMfQ coyotes best prospect will NOT play in Arizona to start next season.
Really, this departure is gonna bring more big questions. Like, have fun being the next GM and trying to extend or trade Matthews.
No one will play in Arizona 
Reminder that Matthews and Marner have NMC's kick in at the start of July. So moves are gonna have to be made soon.
Matthews could be Tkachuk’d in a month dude …
Biggest draft in years. If they have even a slight feeling he wants out… you move him now and get as high as possible for June’s draft
Calgary, for as silly the return with Huberdeau was, had the right idea with the Tkachuk trade. You can’t lose two of franchise players to free agency, one was hard enough but they didn’t have much of a choice bc of how well their regular season was. Once Johnny walked, there was no hesitation
And I respect Calgary for that
For me, I understand Marner stinks in the playoffs but I think he genuinely is the best Leafs all around player. Local kid. I would just use him and Reilly as the pieces for the next Leafs iteration
He’s the future captain
If they want to continue with Keefe we need a third trio
Gonna feel bad for the next GM though. Basically gonna become a villain in Toronto the moment he enters the building.
Absolutely, great point
At least from the fans view the GM will probably be welcomed. Sab and the others seem fine with change now
But inside? Yeah. Total villain
Why doesn’t he continue what they’re building
There’s nothing to continue anymore tbh bro
They’re improving
They hit a wall
Brendan shanahan has to get the axe for sure
No question to me
All this about his plan for one playoff run
They’re like a top 6 team that might sniff top 4 here and there but not further. No trophies coming anytime soon
The current team reached further than any other leafs team in years
For sure in 2021
There isn't all all. Their window started in 2017. We're in 2023. And one playoff series win to show for it with all that "talent"
It’s like being in champions league every year but not making past group stage @short flame
Can’t just let him walk man
Better than not making it
Like if he doesn’t want to stay sure but you are just going to lose to trade
But hey they made it past this year
I don’t disagree but there’s only 2/3 other teams that pay their roster as much as the do
And that’s not going to make your team better when it comes to keeping him marner and nylander
Yeah but they pay their core at a bare minimum conference finals level
No team has paid their core this much for years and expects anything less than that
you pay PSG levels for your roster but can’t make it past group stage ???
Why continue
For years also
Here's the unfortunate truth about sports. It's always nice to have those great faces like Matthews or Marner or whatnot. But your job as a GM is to win cups. Not win regular season awards and when those names are only showing up in the regular season and are getting paid big money for it. After awhile, something needs to give and winning one round and celebrating that like it's progress is just setting the bar so low, man
I don’t believe they actually see it as progress either
Easier said than done like I said before but man you guys HAVE TO find a defenseman that can help with scoring
It’s just a boogeyman they got off of their chest
Which is great but none of them are satisfied with a second round exit
Especially winning just a single game
All this talk to win one second round game
We need a defenseman that can do both
Maybe I’m just used to shit standards. But I’m also thinking from the improvements, they’re getting better and for me that deserves some sort of respect. Next year they can go even further unless they decided this is their peak and just go into rebuild which I wouldn’t mind
The leafs d core ain’t good enough
To where they can get a d man that’s all offense
Heck that’s what Reilly is already
He’s more offensive
And Brodie is really their beat defensive one
Along with muzzin when he’s playing
Imo the bigger issue is they need d men that can move the puck
And get it out of their own zone
They struggle the most with getting pucks into the neutral and offensive zone
Also stop being so damn slow on thier defense
I get the frustration but also you gotta think that the hardest part is done. Now you have to build on that. Beating curses is not something easy to do
Yeah not to be mean bro but you are. Unfortunately for Toronto their standards finally raises a level but they haven’t been able to pass the bar
Florida ran circles around them
Toronto finally addressed physicality
Just to get wrecked by a team who did their same style of aggressive fast hockey but actuallly win shit with it
At some point something is up
The AHL's Toronto Marlies will not renew the contracts of head coach Greg Moore and assistants A.J. MacLean and John Snowden.
188
Marlies changing everything too
Big day for Toronto
They built their team like they are the bruins or caps. Old lethargic and trying to maximize their last gaps at a window
This team has gotten old and filled with has beens
Like, look, Ovi won a cup once. But how many series did he win after.
0.
At some point, you can't keep guys with 9-10 million figures if you can only trust them consistently in the regular season.
Or guys who didn’t pan out
I know I am, my whole team does that. There’s people celebrating our shit season, they painted the ice ffs. Bunch of losers, that’s why I want a change in management and get some winners in the off-season. Another complacent 20 years old is not the solution
They traded sandin for a washed d man from Washington
Marlies got swept
Slowly building bro! And a lot of teams paint the ice, rangers did too. It’s for fans that are season ticket holders, nothing else
Just a nice thing for the fans
I just read that there are no 10 million players left for the cup. It’s just putting too much instead of building a team
Yeah that’s the difference
The Sabres window hasn’t even opened yet
It’s fine to celebrate success and growth when you haven’t even reached close to the level of where teams like the leafs are
The leafs window has been open for years and it might have shut
i spent a good 15 years seeing my Bucs be shit in the NFL. You gotta be patient with rebuilds good or bad. Clearly, the Sabres are on the good end of the rebuild. Playoffs will come soon.
When the chance to win a cup has been there really since 2018
The whole atmosphere just smelled losers in there. Fun for the fans but come on it’s been so long, players should be mad at themselves, fans must be mad, we’re in the same position as the past 13 years, the curse is still in place, for me I feel the same about this season than any of the others and I want change
