Presto luck or other teams are literally showing you what it takes? Sure firstly it's goaltending but dude, I saw almost every Leaf playoff game and twice live. What I saw out of the Panthers last night? Vegas better not come in thinking they got this, that team hustled to a man and Tkachuk was a man possessed.
People say there's no clutch, I don't believe that after watching 19 all over the ice.

So we ply dirtbag Bennett from them next season and have hive take out Barkov. He’s managed to mangle at least one impact player in each round so far I believe.

The Panthers closed it out in one. Not two or three or four. They had the chance to end it and rest and man did they ever take it. Carolina was frustrated, battled, bruised it was four grueling games and I agree with Brindy, could easily be 2-2 right now. Carolina gave it all they had, Florida remained healthier in these playoffs.
Andersen had a good series too, anyone that rags on him is just being biased.

Bennett has turned into a real prick to play against, I think he would he an excellent add if he's slotted correctly.

Did I miss some new info re: Marner Tkachuk?

No its just a few here were saying Calgary had to add more when I was saying it during the time Tkachuk was available. One for one was fair.
Also, there might have been a Canada issue there with Matthew, something in the back of my mind seems to remember reading something about that and if so then yeah, Dubas wouldn't have bothered.

Pretty sure Tkachuk was considered a playoff flop in Calgary till last season, wasn't he?
Also, he did not wish to play in Canada IIRC so your trade was not an option

Oh, Calgary didn't have Barkov either 
Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I don't know if he would have been a good fit on the Leafs anyway, he needs to be THE guy in the BDE department. Barkov is so mellow you have to check him for a pulse so that works there, would it work on TO? I mean Matthews comes off as mellow enough but Marner, Tavares and Willy strike me as non BDE players, in other words wouldn't really like him.

Panthers are on a Cinderella run and won't make the playoffs next year. They will be one of the teams Buffalo and Ottawa bump out. This is such a fluke. Bob has gone through 5 years of below average play. 5 years.

Sutter just signed an extension. Coming off the Jack Adam’s win too.He is getting paid for 2 years not to work. Doubt he’d even want a job.

Friendly wager they make the playoffs next season?
