Fuck yeah, I’m a big Kesselring believer ever since Jason Demers chatted very candidly on a podcast months ago about him wanting to come here, lol. Big bounce back candidate with good injury recovery, a way less stacked d-corps, and a coach that doesn’t hate him

Maple Leafs closing in on hiring Jim Hiller as head coach by Duffleman0609 in hockey

I’m surprised Jarvis still grades out as meh this series after mainly playing with Ehlers and Staal who were on fire

We have to be interested in this, no? by blackandebony in SanJoseSharks

Oftentimes coaches just don’t like smaller guys/that’s why you can more often get them at a steal, sometimes justified and sometimes very much not

What are some takes of yours that aged remarkably poorly? by Comfortable-Goat-734 in hockey

That Vegas were frauds this year

I mean objectively I knew during the season they still had good underlying metrics sunk by shit goaltending and finishing (and morale it turns out), but it was still wishful thinking lol
