Interesting schedule for Leafs this week. West coast trip with 10:30pm EST starts and 0 games on the weekend which is obviously a rarity for the HNIC faves. Guess many will be missing out on games this week.

He'll also tie in a Kuznetsov celebration too.

Ha ha ha!!!! Nailed it. Can't believe I forgot to throw in a line about the troops. And on Veteran's Day no less!

So, Wings up 5-0, looking like they're about to win their 7th in 8 games, is it possible Detroit isn't the worst team in the league after all?

Make that 7-0 after a goal from their own blue line

nvm no goal

Just over 2 weeks until Nylanders deadline. If he doesn't get signed by December 1st at 5pm EST, he won't play in the NHL this year.

Leafs priority has always been to try and keep him, but there could be a chance it doesn't happen.

What do "outsiders" here think about the situation and how it ends?


Canes seem willing to give up Pesce in the deal, but Slavin would be the much better return for Leafs(though unlikely Canes would think about moving him).

Parayko as mentioned many times would be an interesting name for Leafs to trade for, but would Blues even want to do that?

Dumba in Minnesota is another name that would be possible, but with the way the Wilds season is going, would they want to deal a dman?

As much as I'd like to keep Nylander, if a name like a Slavin or Parayko is on the table for the Leafs, I'd take it.

I just hope it doesn't give Holland any ideas. This is a hot streak, nothing more.

That being said, AA has looked great, Cholowski (remember him from the Chychrun deal?) looks like a hit, Nyquist has upped his trade value and Bertuzzi looks like a hit too.

I enjoyed watching Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen line playing against Pasta-Bergeron-POS line last night

Sakic made a mistake of not extending Rantanen this summer, will cost him couple more million in AAV cause of it.

Pens and Kings swapped Pearson for Hagelin. I like this move for the Pens if Pearson regains his form. I feel like the Kings could have done better if they were just trying to open up cap space for next season.
