i mean he could, i probably would have actually. move it anyway/keep it in, and load up on shoving him in the chest. or just not move his leg out after lane juked him to the inside. he did, pushing it out slightly, and that's the result

Spoiler:
jake voracek


apparently he has retired, which makes sense

guessing laine will continue putting up like 20 goals in 50 games per season and being fairly **** overall. he's only 26 years old, but already kind of washed lol

probably a net negative overall, making $8.7m/year lol. and the habs will probably suck again so i'm guessing the situation won't change much. but hey, if you believe maybe you can get good odds on o30 goals
anyway, vindication already i guess

I actually wish him well. If he does make the Leafs team, however, don't get too used to seeing him in the lineup...

Hehe, The first problem is we don't have the cap space at the moment, Treliving needs to wake up here in the next week and make a trade or something to clear room to sign guys on PTO's.

Yeah I agree he never stuck his knee out he was just standing there ? Isn't he a forward just caught flat footed and Laine couldn't avoid him

I thought Neely was out of line in the press conference. Swayman may demand a trade now . So unlike Boston

You never know but right now it sounds like Marner will sign an extension, don't know how much truth is in that though.

u definitely r a genuine fan phil fwiw. definitely a more loyal diehard than me (a compliment btw!).

I can't remember the last time I watched a preseason game for any team that I like or just in general. I do check the results on occasion (ex. I know VGK won 6-1 vs. the Avs the other night) but otherwise have zero investment in preseason.

Hehe, thanks.

Honestly, it was a boring game for the most part.

I am ready for the actual season to start though, the Leafs home opener is next Saturday!

Leafs are supposedly playing regulars mostly tonight, to get some work in I hope.
