The gaslighting is incredible by the media… I’ve seen Marns lay it all on the line to eat pucks in the playoffs before… that didn���t look like this. It looks like he was trying to avoid the puck here.
I remember when Phil Kessel was traded and went on a Conn Smythe level playoff run. Don't remember the American media figures dedicating their entire personality to his run. I also don't remember the Pitt GM coming on Toronto radio to tell the fans to "get over it"
While Evgeni Malkin's #pens extension is worth $5.5 million guaranteed, sources say he can also earn:
** $500,000 in games played bonuses
** $1M if #pens qualify for the playoffs
** $500,000 for each playoff round won
Malkin's new contract includes a no-movement clause
"I grew up with it, I've always been around it since I was a kid, so that part was fun for me. The media cares, the fans care a lot here.."

Michael Bunting on dealing with the pressure and spotlight that comes with playing in Toronto:
@Leafsthoughtz@NightShiftMD Playing the most minutes with top line guys and PP1… he moves to wing, his minutes go down & doubtful PP guy. He has a terrible shot & doesn’t really have great vision. Other than blowing his own zone early, what is his offensive strength?
Matthew Knies and William Nylander were at a loss for words after finding out the Leafs got the number 1 overall pick while at the Marlies game.

@JacobPacheco6 Couldn’t agree more… I feel like people overlook what he does cause he’s on such a talented team… but goddamn does that boy ever elevate them eh
