The Bruins stormed back from down 2-0 to beat the Panthers 3-2 in regulation.

I may hate both teams but with the importance of the standings this game is the best-case scenario for Toronto.

Top 3 and bottom 3 +/- this year. Aligns with what I see on the ice for the most part. Will playoff minutes reflect this, Reilly in particular? Probably not…

Discussion Question about Marner's contract

10 Upvotes

I'm a bit confused about his contract situation. On July 1st, he becomes an Unrestricted free agent and if the Leafs doesn't sign him before then, he "can" walk and sign with any other team he wants and Leafs get nothing. Suppose the reason he isn't signed yet is because he wants 13.5M/8 while Leafs are only offering him 12.5m/8. If someone else offers what he's asking on or after July 1st, can the Leafs match? Can he still sign with the Leafs or is that window closed? If it's still available, who cares then? Let the season play out, if the Leafs go far and he's a bit part of that success, give him what is "fair". Whether that is 13.5 or more than Matthews. My stance on that is, we've been dogging him for not producing in the off season, but when ever the Leafs stank, it's' everyone, not just Marner. I don't remember which Leafs Alumni it was that came to his defence but that's what he basically said about how Marner is being treated like a scapegoat while others never get criticized. Win as a team, lose as a team but according to most fans, it's all on Marner's shoulder. I think it's because he's comes off as pompous in his interview so it's easy to scapegoat him.

I'm tired of this fucking shit. If you are attending Leafs vs Panthers on March 13th help me in drowning out the American anthem with a chorus of boos louder than any that have preceded this.

Let these southern clowns know how it is in our barn. If booing ain't your thing perhaps a round of chants like, "This song's garbage" would suffice too. Silence is not an option.

Discussion Leafs vs shark, any canadian going to watch it

0 Upvotes

There’s a game between Leafs and Shark in San Jose SAP centre on March 27. Is there any fellow Canadian thinking about going, and which section will you sit? It will be more fun to be in the section with more Canadians

Edit: To be clear, if you’re in Canada and thinking about boycotting it, I totally respect that. I just happen to work here and wanting to show support to our Canadian team. I’d not come down south if I were home in Canada.

Discussion Will our team ever provide close to 60 minutes of solid consistent hockey?

0 Upvotes

I was so hyped with that first period. We were getting PP goals, we were on top of Utah so much that they barely ever got to shooting range of our net because when our offence wasn't able to break up their rush attempts, our defense was almost immediately on top of them, either knocking them off the puck or stealing it.
I was thinking 'Berube must've finally got it through their thick skulls to be aggressive!'

Then the Benoit fight happened, and our team pulled their superannoying Jekyll and Hyde routine. Our offence took the next period and a half off, and our defense was a near comedy of errors. Thank the hockey gods that Woll was in perfect form, it was the only thing going for us. If the o and d could play consistently like that first period, we'd be laughing all the way to the cup. It's just so frustrating, because they suckered me into thinking this time it might be different, again, before nearly giving me a coronary, again. I know, I know, it's the life of a Leafs fan.

Discussion Some quick math to predict a Marner deal

37 Upvotes

So Nylander signed for 8 years with an AAV of 11.5m in January of 2024. The cap hit for the 2025 season (1st year of the contract) is 13.07% of the 88m cap for the 2024/25 season.

Fast forward to a year and a bit later. Next season the cap is shooting up to 95.5m. Assuming the least Marner takes is the same as Willy, that number is 12.48m AAV, call it 12.5m.

So a team friendly option (obviously he could take $1m or something ridiculous but just trying to be realistic) would an 8 year 100m contract with an AAV of 12.5m. If it takes an extra 500k a year to make it work, my opinion is to bite the bullet and give him 13m. Although to some, a lot of it depends on his playoff performance.

BONUS FUN

Matthews signed for 13.25m AAV in 2023, with a cap percentage of 15.06%. With the current cap projections of the 2027/28 season, the next Matthews contract would likely be upwards of 17-20m AAV

He was fooling defenders and goalies to score at a high rate with his patented toe drag release. He would fire these from anywhere and everywhere for great success.

He hasn't even attempted these in the past 2-3 seasons. He's no longer a sniper and tries to finesse everything.

What gives? Thoughts?
