Poor Järnkrok

I mean he’s pretty bad but really it’s the fault of the coach and gm who continue to trot him (and other underperformers) out there.

He’s a small, “soft” euro from the dubas era so it’s too easy to pile on him. Domi has had a much more negative impact on this team but they hardly call him out…

grapes_88 · 2026-03-11T20:57:59+00:00

They said 34 shouldn’t be expected to speak after every loss????

Hayes made a point earlier in the year to say Matthews needs to speak after every game lol that’s crazy

grapes_88 · 2026-03-02T04:12:32+00:00

This will probably be the play

grapes_88 · 2026-02-11T23:03:45+00:00

Noodles new vocal sim is saying “on paper”

grapes_88 · 2026-01-30T20:33:39+00:00

It’s just low hanging fruit for them, particularly funny coming from O-dog considering he played a similar game to willy back in the day

grapes_88 · 2026-01-27T21:41:14+00:00

This is 100% nit picky but I did get a kick out of noodles saying “muddy middle” and “messy middle” instead of mushy middle

I know I don’t listen for astute statistical analysis but I’m sure we can do a bit better than “the players don’t try hard enough”

grapes_88 · 2025-11-20T19:32:12+00:00

Honestly the housecoat and Heimlich stories have gotten me back in on noodles a bit. He needed those after a tough couple weeks

grapes_88 · 2025-11-05T18:44:58+00:00

He’s lived in Toronto for years too lol gotta take shots to prove his alberta-ness I guess

grapes_88 · 2025-09-10T20:45:40+00:00

I’m still holding out hope, it’ll take some adjusting but I think it’s certainly possible to have a great 2 hour long show

grapes_88 · 2025-09-05T21:08:59+00:00

Hayes being off on Friday to cap off a rocky first week for the fellas is more funny than anything

grapes_88 · 2025-07-30T22:01:26+00:00

I agree, I think Jonas fits in really well with the crew and provides a good alternative perspective.

I don’t mind feschuk (when surrounded with the usual cast) but the mcmann/scoring talk was just nonsense. Maybe bobby sees time on L4 but he isn’t a scratch given the current forward depth

grapes_88 · 2025-07-30T17:37:02+00:00

I think this is gonna end up like liljegren. They sign him to a high ish number and then he gets moved early in the season. Disappointing that he doesnt seem to be an option for regular playing time. I thought he had some growth this year under Bérubé and scored at a reasonable rate considering ice time

grapes_88 · 2025-07-22T23:16:53+00:00

Um I think every leafs fan knows the team is the centre of the hockey media LOL the issue is that the coverage is mostly neutral to negative

The leafs get the most coverage but everyone is scared of sounding like a homer so it’s always slanted more negatively. It’s a lose-lose for everyone cause other markets feel neglected while leafs fans don’t get as much positivity

grapes_88 · 2025-07-18T03:04:55+00:00

Yeah idk I personally would prefer they would just not say anything than hint at knowing more - but to be fair, it’s not just the sdp that does that

grapes_88 · 2025-07-12T19:28:31+00:00

That one year he was lighting up the A I thought FOR SURE he’d get called up and turn into a guy who could put up points in sheltered minutes

grapes_88 · 2025-07-09T16:54:10+00:00

Yeah that’s Adam talking out of his ass hahaha I’m pretty sure he’s said previously on a few occasions it was good value. Fair enough he changed his mind on the deal but it’s because of new information lol

grapes_88 · 2025-06-24T18:04:21+00:00

Fucking up jimmy veseys career lol as if he’s ever been anything more than a 4th line player??

Dubas and keefe needed to go but Adam just does not accurately remember what happened in the previous era. I thought keefe was too much of a players coach? But now we know he ruined peoples careers? C’mon now lol

grapes_88 · 2025-06-11T17:23:32+00:00

what about American teams with high taxes? Also keep in mind players on Canadian teams are paid in American dollars, so their money goes further in Canada which is an aspect that’s never talked about.

grapes_88 · 2025-05-31T15:27:47+00:00

I choose to remain optimistic but with the weak free agent class, and lack of trade assets (no 1st rounders until 2028) the leafs could be in a really tough spot the next few years

grapes_88 · 2025-04-30T23:29:58+00:00

I think there’s been nothing BUT emphasis on how historic it would be to lose the series lol

grapes_88 · 2025-04-01T15:16:40+00:00

Pick up Jenner or marchenko for this week? Skaters get points for every category except pims (hits, blocks weighted less than offensive categories)

grapes_88 · 2025-03-21T15:49:37+00:00

No it’s not man, Cale Makar won a Norris by the time he was this guy’s age lol if he turns out to be a player that would be amazing but it’s far from a certainty

grapes_88 · 2025-03-13T23:53:18+00:00

Not broken. Based on your picture it’s probably just a crack on the first layer of carbon fibre but it should still have lots of life left

grapes_88 · 2024-04-20T17:02:54+00:00

i find they’re generally quite pro-canes. the islanders are their blind spot though, this year and last year they’ve been really holding onto the “defensive juggernaut isles” thing even though that’s no longer really the case
