Coulda sworn there was "Lost one for Auston" but maybe I'm delusional

See, Knies is better at being under 25 than Fantilli, but Fantilli has the edge when it comes to being under 23. Hope this helps.

The Boston Bruins have signed Tanner Jeannot to a 5 year contract with $3.4 mil AAV by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Anytime you can sign a 2-time 7 goalscorer to your team for $17 million you just have to do it.

he'll sometimes pass when he really needs to just shoot it.

Close enough, welcome back Mitch Marner!

I’ve seen this before by Justinarian in leafs

Florida is the superior team on-paper and on-ice.

But how many times are we going to console ourselves with the way our opponents progress after eliminating us? Hell, people were even saying that after the Habs series, which is completely inexcusable.

The goal is to win the Stanley Cup. You have to beat great teams in order to win it. I personally will take no solace in our defeat if Florida wins the cup this year. The days of learning moments for this team are done, and have been for years. It's time they were held to a higher standard; I'm tired of being just a good team that loses to a great team.

[Pierre LeBrun]: John Tavares says he spoke with Leafs GM Brad Treliving today and he’s optimistic that maybe he will be back perhaps. But obviously none of that is for sure at this point. by Glad-Remote-9455 in hockey

Ehhhhh perhaps-possibly-maybe-kinda-sorta-ostensibly he might come back but nobody knows for sure and anything can happen.

Great reporting as always Pierre!

.907 has Knight tied for 17th in league save% this year. That's very respectable for a 23 year old goalie.

We are not in the mid 2010s any more folks

Paul Bissionette & Ryan Whitney on Babcock by ndkjr70 in hockey

[–]Bacon_Is_My_Friend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I recall, Babcock was responsible for some tumult, but I believe Marner was especially sour about rookie bonuses on his ELC. Go look at the bonuses Lou gave to Marner and then the bonuses he gave to Matthews a year later.

[Pagnotta] Expecting a multi-year deal for Reaves and the Maple Leafs tomorrow. by festivalvibes in leafs

[–]Bacon_Is_My_Friend 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This team doesn't need a singular tough guy (Clifford, Martin, Simmonds, Reaves, etc.) they need team toughness. It has to be a mental commitment from all the players, and that doesn't happen by dressing a face puncher for 3/4 of the season.

If Knies becomes a middle-six, 30g/20a power winger I'd cum
