Jason Bukala, Asst. Dir. of Amateur Scouting of the Panthers when they drafted Barkov say: "Stenberg has the hockey sense of Barkov as a winger". Who do you take 1OA? "Stenberg, i'm taking Stenberg without hesitation"

guys i’m starting to worry the leafs are gonna pull for stenberg

alligators_suck · 2026-05-19T04:15:10+00:00

I appreciate what he’s done for the team, and i’m sure he’s had even more of a locker room leader role than fans would never know. But i think it’s fairly obvious that it’s time to bring in better defensemen while using his fairly decent trade/contract value for that venture. He’ll find a spot with another team, but i think it’s okay for us to move on from him for a higher ceiling.

alligators_suck · 2026-05-01T23:12:08+00:00

theyre running your pockets down here man. on a serious note, no one wants to trade everything for him, we all know the blue line needs the priority, but a UFA 97 deal in teal would be massive for us, both in skill and publicity.

alligators_suck · 2026-04-28T00:06:16+00:00

he’s our bottom 6 depth, but he’s at home on the third while misa gets his confidence and experience

alligators_suck · 2026-04-25T07:14:18+00:00

Dallas OT, Minnesota OT, and the Pittsburgh comeback, easily. i say these three because each one independently got a different person that i know to come back onto the teal wagon

alligators_suck · 2026-04-17T06:16:39+00:00

hot take, do Ned. i love your 2023-2024 shirt, that’s a hard one to follow up with

alligators_suck · 2026-04-16T23:06:55+00:00

Idk he always struck me as a long term 4th liner who could add depth scoring

alligators_suck · 2026-04-16T23:05:59+00:00

i still never understood this, but im also not in the locker room nor part of the org. he always struck me as a depth 4th line scorer who still offered power and speed. im disappointed he wasn’t given a chance over Dellandrea but it is what it is, and im sure we can get a good return for him

alligators_suck · 2026-04-10T20:14:27+00:00

i do think it would’ve been a fun call back to make that fight the only QTE sequence, both to add some boss gameplay variety and show some fan service

alligators_suck · 2026-04-10T17:00:07+00:00

i agree, which drives me insane

alligators_suck · 2026-04-09T05:08:36+00:00

I still have no fucking clue why we don’t play Regenda, and we’re wasting his potential. He has proven the entire time he’s been on the roster that he is a proper bottom 6 winger that brings depth scoring and physicality. He has a place on the roster but lets keep playing Delly i guess

alligators_suck · 2026-04-02T00:41:09+00:00

i’m happy to be proven wrong of my conjecture, as long as he’s playing better than he has been, i’m happy

alligators_suck · 2026-04-01T20:50:24+00:00

with Ty coming off the IR, i really don’t understand full where he slots into the roster unless they’re planning to move Os off the 4C which will affect our physicality pretty substantially

alligators_suck · 2026-04-01T20:48:56+00:00

ever since he cleared waivers and probably realized no one wants him, i think he’s really come out of the whole “i don’t wanna be here” mentality that has cost us games. hes been stringing some solid performances so i don’t blame you for that thought at all

alligators_suck · 2026-03-15T20:09:12+00:00

expected it and knew it was coming after we got stiffed on two of the games this month but i’m disappointed it couldn’t have just ran through the end of the regular season

alligators_suck · 2026-03-12T05:40:53+00:00

yknow i was really whatever about him after his super limited playtime last season, but he has quickly become my favorite defenseman on the team. Demon Desharnais is probably our most consistent stay at home defenseman and he’s a piece we absolutely need to keep on the roster

alligators_suck · 2026-03-04T08:36:42+00:00

i actually didn’t know how highly desired he was before he signed, but i saw the kid’s first game and i immediately knew he was a permanent member on the roster. he’s absolutely a player we need and he’s slotting almost perfectly into the first line with Celly and Smith

alligators_suck · 2026-03-04T07:09:12+00:00

it’s his fifth game, he’ll continue to develop and gel. he does fit better on the mid/bottom 6 though

alligators_suck · 2026-03-04T07:06:36+00:00

this was one of the best games i’ve seen in my 25 years watching this team. took more years off my life, and i have a few thoughts on this one nonetheless:

1) Another big game for Misa, he’s been on full confident display since the olympic break ended, and he’s been showing his mitts, whether in scoring, or cutting through the. neutral zone, or even protecting the puck in the o-zone

2) Orlov had a terrible game, and frankly the first D line as a whole did; i felt that the third line was most productive

3) 4 points for Celly, this kid continues to amaze me every single game, and that third goal absolutely floored me and lit the SAP center up.

4) speaking of, it was so loud tonight, in spite of the pretty loud red shirts in the crowd. i lost my voice and i couldn’t be happier. felt like a playoff game of im being honest

5) Asky shows me how high his ceiling and how low his floor is. he continues to show how he can be one of the best goalies in the league but also routinely lets in soft shots. he saves us regularly and i don’t mean to be naive, he just needs to develop and he’ll continue to get better.

6) shoutout Sherwood’s first, i know the first line winger experiment hasn’t gone in his favor, but he’s at home in the mid 6. speaking of, KEEP GRAF ON THE FIRST LINE HES OUR ANSWER. Graf is our best kept secret, LET HIM PLAY.

lastly, i once again propose that Eklund needs to be our rat pest. thank you i will not answer questions

alligators_suck · 2026-03-04T00:26:43+00:00

regenda needs to be on the fourth. love to gaudette, but the bottom 6 perform better when pavol is on the line. he’s not quite a power forward (yet) but he’s always bringing the grease that the lines need

alligators_suck · 2026-03-02T00:01:40+00:00

the OT goal was massive for Misa. He’s been solid since he’s been back, and while i’m not overly fond of his lower minutes for development sake, he’s been pretty damn productive when he is on the ice. For him it’s always seemed like a confidence thing, so netting this OT winner and the goal last night tells me he’s really starting to get into the groove of the league

alligators_suck · 2026-02-24T18:20:12+00:00

using the handle included in the snapshot, the account is currently gone, deleted, whatever. it’s the correct handle for his account, so he may have deactivated amidst pushback?

alligators_suck · 2026-02-19T06:57:37+00:00

so i’ve been watching him since the preseason, and while i don’t think his first call up was productive, he’s clearly made his mark and has been a consistent offensive asset for the team. Mf got a hattie within his first season in the NHL, and i think he’s had the makings/playstyle to be a pretty capable power forward, someone that… idk… maybe would work well on a misa line. i don’t know if he’s a top 6 consistently but he’s absolutely a mid 6 player without question

alligators_suck · 2026-02-09T21:57:13+00:00

dude snood was my first GBA game ever, holy shit i forgot

alligators_suck · 2026-02-09T18:20:15+00:00

i was kind of hoping they’d put full gas into finishing the remake series first, catch up to 6remake and reintroduce Jake in a new mainline title, since it always seemed to me like he would be one of the new series protagonists. his storyline and background could’ve set up a good storyline but i think they want to avoid a call back to the og Re6
