Kristen Anderson doesn’t need to go. Derek Wills doesn’t need to go

I mean seriously, people are ####ing nuts
I’m not really saying the guy needs to lose his job I’m saying his bias makes listening to his opinions a complete waste of time. Like, might as well roll elevator music. His PBP is fine or whatever which is REALLY his job if you want to get down to it.

Anyway the franchise very obviously needs a complete rebuild top to bottom. It actually annoys me to see Gaudreau on the verge of tears now. Like... NOW? Now? Now is when you show it? Anyway whatever, until next season I guess.

We don't know how this was going to affect players mentally and we saw Rask leave a team that has a good chance at the Cup.
It's not like they didn't have a chance to opt out.

Think about the people stuck away from their families - because they CANNOT LEGALLY MOVE. Not their choice, nor do they make millions. One of my friends has a daughter stuck in Spain. She can't get back home.

Give your head a shake Dion, you're better than that.

For the few - the very few - who chose to put their families first (as in ahead of their egos) - like Rask, Hamonic etc. sure, there is a thought there. The others were all there VOLUNTARILY. And, could leave the bubble at any time if their fragile mental condition required it. I have no sympathy at all for them having a "tough" time.

Their wives, sure, they have a tougher, but not a tough time unless something very serious is going on at home. They still have millions to fall back on, hire help, get the best of whatever they need. That is simply not given to everyone.

If Ward was on the other bench, he probably also would’ve pull Khudobin after 3 goals and put in the 20 year old kid that no one has heard of.

What a dummy

As much as it pain me to say it, I feel that Gio has to take so.e heat here. We are talking about the reigning Norris trophy winner.
I know he isn't at that level on the ice right now, for whatever reason, but how do you let the team let this slip away if you are the captain? We've all seen the gif of Thornton after the loss to LA in what, 14? He is still respected, so I guess ther eis always a path to redemption in hockey and life, but man o man is this a mark against a player's reputation.

Tough to see happen, really.

Ward didn't lie...he said he asked for Talbot and was told by the trainer he was in the tunnel with an "equipment issue"

Turns out Cam was "composing himself" probably had his equipment off

Honestly I want an new coach but we don't have to make up a story

My head is fine, thank you. No need to make is personal!

Groan. Give your head a shake is not an idiom that questions your mental well being. It means, reconsider your position it appears to be highly flawed. Can't believe I have to explain this.

Teams take penalties all the time. Some times you kill them, some times you get scored on. Some times you win, some times you lose.

How many games have you watched where a team won but gave up a few PP goals?

Goodness gracious, boys. What did we actually see tonight?
What a mess.

I feel if something Iike this happened to the Leafs it would be a National Emergency and call for a bipartisan committee to examine the state of hockey in Canada.

Or is it just me?
