Maybe the Leafs could pull the ol' Keith Tkachuk move with Scott Laughton: trade him to a playoff team, then re-sign him in the summer.

Hopefully next week we’ll see Cowan, Haymes, Quillan all playing 17+ minutes.

Jim Hiller should have been fired after the Round 1 challenge debacle against Edmonton last year.

1G-8A*

Matthews has a 6-game point streak (0G-6A) & 9 points in his last 8 GP (1G-7A), so he’s still producing.

But no goals in 7 games? Baffling how his goal scoring has dried up. The season is lost: shut him down.

Shut Willy down while we’re at it. He’s clearly not 100%.

Craig Berube’s system fucking sucks. No amount of heart or effort is going to overturn decades of evidence that controlling possession and being above break-even in shot attempts is good for winning.

Surely Craig Berube isn’t Leafs coach tomorrow, right?

Didn’t watch the Lightning, Panthers, or Sens games and I feel great.

What’s the point of keeping Berube around at this point if we know he’s a dead man walking?

I doubt the Leafs brass is actually thinking “keep him, we’ll be worse.”

That’s wild.

I’m the same as you with hats: keep it basic, no brands, has to be a full-back.

Pro Hockey Life had a bunch of PWHL stuff the last time I was there. Not sure on prices.

I, for one, am excited for the Luke Haymes Era of the Leafs.

Cowan was hitting a wall for sure, but not playing professional hockey for a month is not a great way to get better at professional hockey.

If you follow Frank Seravalli anywhere, I strongly implore you to unfollow him.

What an absolute bitch he is.

Tape them together if we have to.

Who needs incremental roster improvement? The guys just need to buy in even harder!

Intentionally didn’t watch last night for possibly the first time ever

Maybe they were playing Halo

“Might” does not imply “will”.

I feel you've completely misinterpreted Pelley's words. I didn't see anything in here about competing in 2025-26 or striving to make the playoffs. It was more open-ended than that.

Fuck you.

I am shocked he's struggling to get buy-in on his "never have the fucking puck" strategy.

Truly feels like we’re at no-going-back territory.

Kyle Connor, US Olympian, has returned to his NHL team ahead of the State of the Union visit.

See? It can be done.

The whiter the league, the more conservative.

If he goes, I'm not watching the rest of the season.

Do we have confirmation he’s attending?

It's going to be incredibly hard for me to forgive Auston Matthews if he goes to the SotU/White House.

Linkin Park - Papercut

I wonder what the 3-game winning streak + Olympic break has done the Leafs' plans this deadline. I'm expecting to be underwhelmed by how many bodies are moved out and their returns.

There’s a reason Bouchard gets left home every time despite being arguably a top-3 offensive defenceman: the dude couldn’t defend a TimBit from a toddler.
