Here's hoping that changing my handle will finally stop randos from thinking I'm a different James O'Brien. If you followed me without reading my bio ... or my pinned messages ... uh, here's another chance?

The Washington Generals have more charm but the parallels are uncomfortably apt (both seem happier with losing than changing their tactics)

I always think of documentaries as these audacious labors of love/mania that rarely make a dime but I'm guessing a lot of them are mass produced since they're actually popular when it's a very specific format (murder)

Sidney Crosby being traded to Maple Leafs is not unthinkable When there's even a slight chance to land a superstar player, any self-respecting contender should move heaven and earth to make it happen. With that in mind, B

No, I don't think the Toronto Maple Leafs are likely to trade for Sidney Crosby, but they should still do whatever they can to make it happen. Daydreaming about the potential pairings he could roll with, including Chris Kunitz+ editorinleaf.com/sidney-crosb...

Maple Leafs could trade for their version of Evan Bouchard in this Kings defenseman If there is even a remote chance that the Toronto Maple Leafs could trade for Los Angeles Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke, then they should do it. This would be

Look, I don't think even Ken Holland is out to lunch enough to trade Brandt Clarke, but it's fun to discuss the remarkable Evan Bouchard parallels and what Clarke could mean to the Maple Leafs: editorinleaf.com/maple-leafs-...

Why the Toronto Maple Leafs shouldn't extend Anthony Stolarz right now, and really might want to maintain a strength (flexible spending on often above-average goaltending) going forward: editorinleaf.com/why-leafs-sh...

The general conclusion is that he doesn't have a ton of room to improve (aside from at the margins) and at his age, there's probably a greater chance for decline.

So no great! haha

Can Leafs expect more out of Morgan Rielly next season? Think of the best NHL teams from the last couple decades, especially Stanley Cup winners. Count how many of them didn't have a star defenseman or two. If the To
