now shut down Nylander, Knies, Tavares, and call up the Marlies. give whoever they choose to run the show a top 5 pick to play with in the draft this offseason and fix this mess.
Never seen anything like the way this league treats the Leafs. On any other team, Pezzetta doesn’t come close to getting thrown out for that. It really is like they don’t want the Leafs playing tough.
Compare this to how Florida is governed. Blatantly different set of rules.
Cowan tackles Mintyukov and others get into it… 88 responds by staying completely out of the scrum.
I’m just so sick of this shit from these guys after 10 years - there’s no amount of points they can score to make me change my mind that they need to go.
Cowan & Knies STAY.
A 4th liner whose team is done for the year. Losing him would have zero impact.
If you can't make a stand on this player, that these hits have no place in the NHL, then you really don't feel that way at all.
Shame on @NHLPlayerSafety
Do I think Pontus Holmberg is an insane difference maker? No, nobody should. But it’s really funny that Toronto spent a 1st and a prospect for a guy they used at 4C when they had Holmberg and Minten to play the same role for 0 assets
The Department of Player Safety is doing absolutely nothing to dispel the belief that:
a) it is doing a poor job protecting players
b) there is no Panthers bias
That hit could’ve paralyzed Zary. This will 2 light suspensions given severity of actions in last 2 weeks.
I'm not sure why they even bother at this point. He very easily could have broken Zary's neck. Disband this DoPS garbage and try again. There's no credibility left to be salvaged.
A phone hearing for AJ Greer. Anyone who thought George 'The Violent Gentleman' Parros would be shamed into doing the right thing after the Gudas suspension was clearly wrong. More fine work by the Parros and his cabal of thugs at @NHLPlayerSafety.
