Phaneuf was a beast!
I didn't see any of those crushing hits from Inge Hammarstrom.
Right now the Leafs are stuck in the "friend zone". They need to do a blockbuster trade like the Raptors (Leonard) and Jays (Carter, Alomar) did.Although I really think Mathews is an incredible talent, I would bet on him to walk when he becomes a free agent. Tavares bleeds blue he will take a salary cut and stay.
Marner is the franchise player I would keep.
I would not be surprised or disappointed to see Mathews traded

There's an old Irish proverb that goes like this:
Get serious, if anybody cheated over the years it was the Habs...they always got the breaks from referees, the NHL, the Hall of Fame.There's an old Irish proverb that goes like this:
"Sticking with the same old team and hoping to get better results."
Even the Habs made the CUP finals and got cheated because Bettman always want an American team to win and the Bolts had sometime like a $95mm (more or less) payroll.
The Habs made the finals because of Carey Price. Never underestimate the power of a hot goaltender. The Blues won a cup with an unstoppable BinningtonThere's an old Irish proverb that goes like this:

Hahahaha.Marner wants to be the Leafs top point getter hence the pass to Tavares rather than Nylander.
We need a new GM who will put more emphasis on hiring defensemen rather than just on the offensive players.They lack the killer instinct. They've lost about 9 or 10 series clinching games and won none during the Matthews era.
An AHL team like Columbus can beat a superior NHL anytime if they just work harder, last night was a good example.Leafs played like shit tonight. They must have lost 80-90% of the puck battles or getting to a loose puck first. You'd think that they'd have placed a higher priority on protecting Woll. There were uncovered Bluejackets all over the placed even though they're supposed to be CBJs.
