When people tell you about who they are, whatever. Talk is cheap.

There's quitting when you know the outcome's over and you just don't want to get injured. There's being fed up with a coach and trying to be a professional until a solution's been reached.

And then there's PLD on that shift.

That will forever be my memory of PLD.

I couldn't ever think of another player at the NHL that more blatantly quit than PLD did. I've seen 16 year old immature kids quit in Junior, and even then it's rare because the coaches can usually see it coming. But that? As a professional in the NHL?

Fucking hell.

There may exist no system or team currently in existence where he could be a fit.
 
Yeah my initial reaction to the potential buyout was cool, great opportunity to get him for cheap, but quickly I became onboard with all of you that, no, I don’t even want him on my team period. There is a very consistent pattern with him that’s toxic. Pass.
 
As Bergy famously said "De h'answers are in da room!"

If that's true, then they need to keep PLD out of it because his entire existence as a pro hockey player is just one question after another; questions to which there are no good answers.

Yup. Strike 3.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt - a delicate genius who didn’t want to play in backwaters and would flourish in markets with Michelin star restaurants and top line fashion shopping.

But it’s the same old story in LALA land, literally the global capital of celebrity culture and bling.

So nope. Pass.
 
Its kind of funny, because if the Leafs win this series, or even lose in game 7 for that matter, many again in Leafland will think the team is close and just need some tweaking, not major change. It will be a victory, sort of, in their minds. Their Stanley Cup. Rinse, repeat.

Good … Anderson for Knies swap is fair and will help the Make Beliefs

Pelley is going to cut the cord to the core players

That's what you get when you allow too many frauds into the post-season. Isles and Caps had no business being in.

You can repeating that but last year, 7 out of 8 series went to 6+ games, with 2 major upsets.

In 2022, again 7 out of 8 went to 6+ games, with 5 going to 7.

This year is unusual and the East wasn't as strong as in recent years.
