@mike_wintrs My favourite part of this is that two people who get paid to cover hockey — two! — think there are four NHL players better than McDavid

@sludgewilliams Also why the leafs would be fools to retain any money when it happens

@TLNdc I remember the glory days when Joel
Champagne’s rights expiring was huge news on Leafs twitter

Mitch Marner

Most goals in a postseason for the Maple Leafs: 3 in 2022-23

He scored 3 in a span of 6:10 in the 2nd period tonight (Fastest Hat Trick in Stanley Cup Final history)

@itsmedavis_43 @joeyferg Fair!

[Jeff Veillette @JeffVeillette]

The blend of Leafs fan who is both mad at Mitch Marner and bitter about spending a first round pick to dump the Marleau contract is going to bed very conflicted tonight

[Pete Evans @p_evans]

@JeffVeillette Given that those are likely picks in the 20s This feels like one of those three quarters for a dollar trades. Maybe four quarters?

Still feels like the best player in the trade ends up being Knies

[Pete Evans @p_evans]

@NotWilly4Hart Imagine if they then did it for 7-8 more runs

@PuckDontLie @jakebeleafs you think? I guess a lot can happen but to me they seemed like they have entered a new era

[Pete Evans @p_evans]

@jakebeleafs @PuckDontLie There’s a path but only
Problem is who gets worse?
Florida will be better. Montreal and Buffalo seem poised. Boston steps back maybe. Ottawa? Their underlying was very strong with crap tending

If leafs are top 3, who comes out? Not obvious to
Me

@The_Kyle_Mann @daveweigel I hated this decision when I was young and adored the strip.

Now that I’m in my 40s watching my Calvin-aged kid reading them, I’m grateful he stuck to his guns

[Pete Evans @p_evans]

@jakebeleafs @joshbeleaf That’s much better than what the actual Matthews trade is going to look like in 20 months or so

[Alan Saunders @ASaunders_PGH]

The Pittsburgh Zoo is clearly in win-now mode.

[Pete Evans @p_evans]

@DanClarkSports He is going to be absolutely washed by 2045

Wait, what the hell is going on here?

The S&P500 (SPX) was up +17.1% in 28 trading days as of Friday's close. Absolutely absurd.

But what if I told you it was also the first time a ramp up that hard (+17.1%), that fast (<=28 trading days) had happened since the beginning of computerized trading (1982) where EITHER:

- VIX was under 22 (it closed Friday at 17.15)
OR
- SPX closed at a new all time high close (it got close in 1991)

Freak out all you want about analogs to 1999, this has never happened before in most of our lifetimes.

Should you buy puts? Calls? A gun? Pack of hyenas?

What do I care?

GOD, I missed me.
