@FirstUp1050 @CarloColaiacovo @heylandsberg @TSNHockey @TSN1050Radio Still very baffling how Matthews managed to get the idealized 5 years, and the $11.6M. He got both the term & the money. I don’t know what leverage he could have possibly had, since there’d been no other contract like it. McDavid hit it big out of ELC as well, but he signed for 8

@Sportsnet @FriedgeHNIC Unfortunately, I fully realize that the quality of talent being inducted into the HHOF is continually dropping, but Joe Pavelski is not a Hall-of-Famer. A great career, but not HHOF worthy. Never won anything, was never even the best player on his own team. Was never a pt/gp guy.

#SoundTheSiren wins the Prince of Wales Trophy last night and does not touch it. I thought that perhaps captain Jordan Staal would, as his 2009 #LetsGoPens won the Cup when touching it, after having elected not to touch it the year prior, where the Pens lost to the Wings in 2008.

Fantastic run from the 2025-26 Montréal Canadiens. Shades of the surprise 2010 #GoHabsGo that also went to the conference final (albeit a much better regular reason than that 8th seed team). Two game 7 wins, followed by a 5 game loss in the semifinal. Czech Dobeš, Slovakian Halák

Tellement triste d’entendre les nouvelles à propos de Claude Lemieux. Il est même plus étonnant et difficile à comprendre en tant qu’il avait l’air d’être en forme et en bonne santé il y a quelques jours quand il a porté le flambeau au Centre Bell. Un fils de Buckingham #GoHabsGo

As the dust has very much settled on Berube’s firing,here’s one impressive record he has to look back on from his short tenure in Toronto:

Most wins in 1st season as #LeafsForever head coach, franchise history

Craig Berube 52W 2024-25
Pat Quinn 45W 1998-99
Pat Burns 44W 1992-93

@JFreshHockey Yeah and his minutes were really down too

[Leafs & Hockey @tmltweet]

Love this tradition from Montréal. The organization is truly in touch w its alumni; many of them are cultural icons within the city, as the franchise was fortunate enough to have winning teams spanning multiple generations
Would love a list of all the torchbearers this postseason

CLAUDE LEMIEUX CARRIES THE TORCH FOR GAME 3 🔥

Looks like #ForgedInGold Dorofeyev actually did get the puck with his shaft rather than his glove, but it’s tough to tell if the puck wasn’t above the crossbar when contact was made, which would make it a high-stick. Replay was inconclusive, defaults to call on the ice: no goal.

@NHL 33 years, you say? You know what else happened 33 years ago? #StanleyCup

@ArthurKnight323 @FriedgeHNIC Montréal’s Game 7 mantra this year ahah. It’s been working though, Dobeš has been putting up a 2010 Jaroslav Halak performance.

Give Sid the C, any team he’s on is his team. It’s not yet a passing of the guard to 19-year-old Celebrini, as Crosby will still be captaining Canada at the World Cup in 2028.

[Chris Johnston @reporterchris]

It's not yet clear if Sidney Crosby's decision to join Canada at the worlds will alter plans for Macklin Celebrini to wear the "C," but needless to say, there's lots of excitement about his addition to the roster

[Leafs & Hockey @tmltweet]

Sorry, Macklin. Crosby needs the C back.

[Hockey Canada @HockeyCanada]

ROSTER UPDATE | Sidney Crosby has been added to 🇨🇦’s National Men’s Team for #MensWorlds.

MISE À JOUR | Sidney Crosby s’ajoute à l’équipe nationale masculine du 🇨🇦 pour le #MondialMasculin.

#Blackhawks Connor Bedard doesn’t have a contract for next season and I haven’t heard a peep out of the mainstream media about it.

[Leafs & Hockey @tmltweet]

Mathieu Olivier playing for Team USA at the Worlds…😪 Canada must not have given him the opportunity, which is a shame to see.

[Leafs & Hockey @tmltweet]

@MapleLeafs Really cool to see that they’re still in Toronto and didn’t fly to their hometowns the immediate second the season finished. Couple of guys that like sticking around and also feel at home in their NHL city

[Leafs & Hockey @tmltweet]

@BizNasty2point0 Did I miss something? Biz, what’s going on here. You’re a southern Ontario guy, don’t be doing this now

[Leafs & Hockey @tmltweet]

People can’t stand to see something good happen to the Toronto Maple Leafs, so of course their only knee jerk reaction is to say that them winning the draft lottery is “rigged”. Ah yes, the NHL is clearly so rigged in favour of a team that hasn’t won the Stanley Cup since 1967.

[Leafs & Hockey @tmltweet]

@TheTorontoSun @simmonssteve Well done asking the tough questions today. Someone had to do it. The discourse around the hiring has continually been shock that Chayka is the best option, and that it’ll be tough for the Leafs if their GM isn’t respected by his peers.

[Leafs & Hockey @tmltweet]

#GoHabsGo win a Game 7 in which they didn’t even register ten shots on goal. Dobeš kept the wolves at bay as the east is now wide open for Montréal to go on a run. One of the biggest chess pieces falls in the first round; the fourth year in a row #GoBolts have suffered that fate.
