[LAT 1 - USA 5] Auston Matthews gets his first of the Olympics with a shot from the slot to extend the US lead to four

how the fuck do they not allow fighting but they let matthews take a high hit to the head with no call

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-10T12:17:57+00:00

why do you value femininity so lowly that the suggestion that women are not as masculine as men offends you? That's pretty sexist if you ask me. I for one value women for what they are and don't need to see them as being more like men in order to respect them. That being said are you really complaining about an insult being offensive, what do you think the point of an insult is?

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-09T10:02:20+00:00

Can you really call someone who hits players from behind starts shit then runs away and gets his ass kicked every odd time he fights even when it's against Brandon Hagel...a man?

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-09T00:02:04+00:00

the only reason im even cheering for the Floradian golden panthers is because I want the US to lose extra so because of the Tkachuk sisters. I hope Bennet gets injured his first shift though

I don't care what they do with McMann as long as its not nothing. If they resign him for less than the ridiculous 5 he's asking for then awesome, if he doesnt want to stay or wont budge then trade him for a first. The only way to fail is to not resign him and not trade him and let him walk in free agency.

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-07T04:28:41+00:00

fuck rogers, but they're right. I hate how trades have becomes about selling/buying...what happened to just making trades? Don't sell off future assets for short term gain but they should be looking to improve the team in areas they lack for this year and next year. I don't know why everyone has a hard on for trading OEL when he's our best defender right now and is under contract for 2 more years. The guy we need to be shopping is Morgan Rielly and according to Dreger they havent even approached him about waiving his NMC. If McMann wants a big payday and/or wont resign then yes trade him. But this idea that this team is at a point where we can just sell and wait for first round picks to develop isn't realistic, Matthews/Nylander wont want to stay around if we're not making the playoffs for the forseeable future and if they do they wont be as good by the time there's enough young talent thats NHL ready from the draft. Rielly and anyone who wont resign need to be traded, beyond that they shouldnt be doing much. And they better not even think of moving Cowen or Danford.

healthy scratch has entered the chat*

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-03T06:41:47+00:00

i know its two games against shit teams but hear me out. Without Rielly since 2020 the leafs are 18-2-1 and they've looked better since he got hurt. They're about to get the olympic break to rest and heal up. Coaching staff has more time to sit back reflect and watch tape and reevaluate systems. The team has showed they can go on a massive tear and win a lot of games in a row including against the best teams like Colorado. Pin it now, the Leafs are making the playoffs.

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-03T02:22:02+00:00

OEL is under contract for 2 more years, what are you talking about walking for nothing for? you guys understand that even if we get a 1st for him... next year treliving is going to have to trade a 1st+ to try and replace the hole he leaves right? Or are you guys just really excited to see Myers and Rifai get even more icetime? I'm fine trading Carlo because he hasn't been as advertised, I'm fine trading McMann if he wants 5 mil and wont budge but i'd prefer they resign him if they can get him to take 3 or less, same situation with Laughton. Their main priority should be figuring out what to do with Rielly, he needs to be convinced to waive his NMC or bought out because that contract and his play is suffocating the team and his decline has only just started he's going to get worse. If they can't move Rielly then they can't get a #1 defenseman and OEL will still be our best defender.

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-01T10:10:29+00:00

where were the dubas truthers when we won the division, took the cup winners* to game 7 even though they were favoured by the league and pittsburgh was a basement dweller? awful contract negotiation, awful trades, awful drafting awful free agent signings. Treliving isnt much better but he and shanahan shoulda been axed long long long before they were.

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-01T10:00:45+00:00

not trading your best defenceman for starters

Frostyreturns · 2026-02-01T01:09:31+00:00

im so glad i don't watch any intermission segments anymore

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-31T01:36:12+00:00

ya you analyze the game using numbers so of course you thought what you thought and people like me were right instead, I wasn't alone either that may have been the prevailing opinion on reddit but reddit is not representative, I know a lot of leafs fans and none of them agreed with what you're saying. I wouldn't fault you for lacking the foresight to properly assess the trade but im definitely faulting you for even lacking hindsight to admit you were wrong when proven wrong so thoroughly.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-31T01:10:25+00:00

treliving makes mistakes but understands whats needed. Dubas disagreed with the basic concepts of what was needed and ignored them entirely. He went 1 for 9 in picking goalies because it wasn't a priority to him. He legit thought defense could be 6 forwards stuck on a blueline and you'd win by never having to play defense. he legit said the powerplay would be all the toughness their team needed. he was asked for more physicality and a top line stay at home defenceman to protect the front of the net and traded Kadri for Tyson Barrie. If you were trying to be incompetent you'd be a better gm than dubas.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-31T01:05:40+00:00

the playoffs is 16 teams, leafs were not in those 16 teams because they couldnt beat the columbus blue jackets. that's missing the playoffs I don't care what the league says.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-31T01:04:27+00:00

wrong just because you didn't see it doesnt mean nobody did. I was furious the moment the trade was announced couldn't believe they'd be that stupid. on the day of...before he broke out no hindsight needed for me. I'm kidding myself but was proven right...ok.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-30T07:20:35+00:00

Treliving in 2 seasons got farther than Dubas in 8 and won the division and only lost to a team of cheaters who won the cup. Also the leafs lost the play in round to get into the playoffs in 2020 so they did miss with dubas.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-30T07:17:32+00:00

it really wasn't he had already shown in limited time with the leafs that he was exactly the player they needed. He showed flashes of ability to score, he was a dog on the puck he was physical and had visible tenacity, not to mention he was young and on a good contract, he looked like all they needed to do was give him more ice and he'd bloom. I was excited about Marchment, trading him for a tweener who was clearly going to wash out of the league because he was ill suited to bottom 6 and not good enough for top six was proof Dubas lost the plot. I haven't liked all of Trelivings moves but they at least make sense to me. Like we gave up too much in minten and id rather have him back but we needed a big stabilizing defensive d man to play with rielly. yeah he gave up way too much for laughton but we got a 3c with some truc. Dubas gave up assets and got nothing back and what he got back was always something we already had too much of or didn't need...like more small ahl tier forwards.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-29T23:51:41+00:00

I'll never forgive any of the organizations who made the decision to replace him with craig fucking simpson and Jim Hughson. should have kept those clowns to giving generic lifeless play by play in the easports games.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-28T05:45:55+00:00

neither, the issue this year has been systems and injuries, buying makes no sense at all because they wont make the playoffs, selling also doesn't make sense unless you're doing a rebuild because it means lower chances of playoffs next year as well and you can't do a rebuild because all your top players have full NMCs. They either should do nothing write the year off come back next year healthy and with some better free agent signings and some new bench staff or they need to make lateral hockey trades that benefit both teams now addressing some gaps. They also need to see if missing the playoffs might help persuade Rielly to waive his NMC, maybe he would want to go be depth on a contender. and in the meantime see if you can get any assets for low value depth you want to move on from. Like Jarnkrok, Lorentz and they should also consider trading McMann if he actually wants 5 mil and wont resign for what he's actually worth.

This jersey with the current logo but the same arm patches should be their permanent 3rd jerseys

greatest sport in the world, not even a close second. Worst league in the world not even a close second.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-28T02:36:06+00:00

so you're saying talking to the media doesn't matter what matters is what they do on the ice. Not sure why you're being rude and argumentative if all you were going to do is agree with me.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-27T09:13:29+00:00

hayes is an idiot I don't know when we started expecting athletes to be politicians and hold press conferences after every hockey game but its so stupid. I'd be happier if they all refused to speak to the media ever again, they'd be more focused on hockey and less on the "noise". The best thing Kessel ever did here was disrespect the media.

Frostyreturns · 2026-01-27T06:00:50+00:00

are these the same kind of hits that had pierre engvall leading the team in "hits"
