The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

I see nothing but joyous cackling. I agree that if the dumb opinions get you angry then maybe it isn't worth it but most seem to have fun with it. Because it is fun!

Yeah, none of the shit coverage gets me angry or anything.

It’s definitely more of a “point and laugh” kind of vibe.
 
What's the point then? Consuming it is as useful as buying a coloring book for the story (tried it, don't waste your money).
 
Oh, they will be driving it way up next year when it's time to talk extension.

For now, while they can't be extended, they will be trashed nightly by critics. Next year, they will be superstars who can't be signed.
 
Yep. The Leafs are just incredibly unlucky to have a team full of overrated/terrible players that have career years just as the time comes to extend them. Of course the Leafs are always up against the cap, because that's obviously what terrible managers do. Terrible team, from top to bottom.

Leafs are kicking ass, so it's time for an avalanche of....

.....CAN YOU EVEN AFFORD HIM THO????

William Nylander is having a career year. What implications could this have for the Leafs?

Next summer, the Maple Leafs will be in the position of having to decide whether they want to commit to Nylander on a big-time extension.

All after an avalanche of "Dubas got rekt" and "LoL nylander is overpaid" for the last few years. But with just 1 year left after this it's time for the pivot to "he's Actually worth 12 million dollars!!!"
 
Malgin still kinda looks good out there but just isn't producing out there at all despite the plumb line assignment. He might have to watch his back when Jarnkrok comes back. Joey has had a very nice first two games and that 4th line is humming at around a 95xgf% in the two games he's been on it so far.
 
I was going to say last night, Malgin doesn’t do anything worthwhile on that line. He’s just a guy that can skate a little shifty and get near the net sometimes, but he can’t pass or shoot at a level to keep up with the linemates. He’s a 4th liner with an outside shot of being decent on the third line. He’s definitely not doing Tavares and Marner any favors out there.
 
I've seen enough that yeah, he's not the ideal plumber on a skill line. He can fill in a pinch just fine but they should have better options there.
 
Looking at the various Tavares line combos so far this year...


Kerfoot-Tavares-Nylander: 43min, 68.9xgf%, 74.7gf%
Kerfoot-Tavares-Marner: 53min, 43.2xgf%, 66.8gf%

Robertson-Tavares-Nylander: 55min, 48.8xgf%, 24.8gf%
Robertson-Tavares-Marner: 34min, 76.0xgf%, 100.0gf%

Jarnkrok-Tavares-Nylander: 6min, 71.1xgf%, ---gf%
Jarnkrok-Tavares-Marner: 40min, 58.5xgf%, 52.1gf%

Malgin-Tavares-Nylander: 34min, 50.2xgf%, 100.0gf%
Malgin-Tavares-Marner: 18min, 39.9xgf%, 48.3gf%


its funny that it's last year's Kerf-WIlly combo that actually looks the best again this year so far.

the Robertson-Marner combo seemed to be working too tho.

Jarnkrok seems to have worked so far too - i'd imagine he slots right back in there when he's ready to go.
 
He's a huge asset on the bottom 6 as a longboy pain in the ass to play against, but I've always wanted to see Engvall get a look there. Guy just dominates the ice no matter which line he plays on. A little looksie on an offensive line wouldn't hurt.

time for me to pop in on my friends in Habsville to see how they respond to evidence of their idiocy. wish me luck.

I’d be pretty shocked if any of them even admitted they might be slightly wrong about the Leafs D.

Guessing you’ll just get some equivalent of “but playoffs tho”.
