[Cal Gal]

Booooooo!!

 

[MindzEye]

Ah fuck, we lost the coin flip in the NHL control room.

 

[Cal Gal]

LMAO!!

 

[Volcanologist]

lol Leafy goal there for the Flyers to give up

 

[Cal Gal]

Fun, what I caught of it.

Willie had himself a night.

Beauty by Domi too.

 

[soco22]

laughton's really sucked in the games i've seen.

Never good when the prospect, let alone the 1st given, is already more useful than the veteran trades for.

What a dumb trade.

 

[Wayward DP]

Willy is quietly second in the NHL in goal scoring. Not too shabby

 

[Slinger 48]

Tavares also had a good night.

3 consecutive 40 goal seasons for Willy Nylander; He is the fourth player in Maple Leafs history to record three consecutive 40-goal seasons, joining Auston Matthews (five from 2019-20 to 2023-24), Lanny McDonald (three from 1976-77 to 1978-79) and Rick Vaive (three from 1981-82 to 1983-84).

Not sure Laughton should be in the starting lineup tbh.

looks like Matty's streak is gonna end this year. too bad.

Arguably a worse move than Edmontonson or Boosh

Foligno was actually good.

 

[LeafGm]

Foligno was actually good.

There was never any point in his entire career when he wasn’t trash.

And by the time we acquired him, he was old & broken on top of being trash.

Luckily for your boy though, Laughton is well on his way towards replacing him as the shittiest player we’ve ever traded a 1st round pick for at the deadline.

 

[zeke]

Foligno was a very good player. Much better than Laughton.

A top line player for quality playoffs teams. Came here and produced at a 40pt pace as a defensive matchup player with no PP time. Even though clearly hampered by injury.

And even now 5yrs later at age 37 playing hard topline minutes, albeit for a shitty team.

 

[zeke]

Of course, this board actually hated adding an actual cup winning matchup 31yr old #1C in O'Reilly, even while he gave us PPG production in an insanely tough matchup role, so i guess we just have really high standards.
