Leafs should go for rakell

"The #CBJ cannon had also been wheeled out from Nationwide Arena to serve as the goal horn; I heard it go off pregame and thought: Man, I hope the Jackets score at least one goal, so we can hear it during the game. Wouldn’t that be cool." Read @nikitagz.bsky.social 's recap: buff.ly/3YqwBXo

"All in all, this game is a reminder we’re still in the trenches. Blood for the blood god; skulls for the skull throne; losses for the draft lottery." Read the latest #Blackhawks weekly recap from @nikitagz.bsky.social: buff.ly/4hWv0N0

Sometimes sporting events really are bigger than the game itself, writes six-time Stanley Cup champion Ken Dryden. Why Canada needed the 4 Nations Cup win:

hockey’s too fast. they should get rid of it

Flowchart of potential final results for Four Nations

END OF PERIOD 1: Despite being outshot 22-3 (!), out-attempted 46-7 (!!) and out-high-danger-chanced 15-1 (!!!), the Blackhawks only trail the Panthers 2-1. So, uh, there's that.

Let's get into it

Very frustrating game. The Wild have 18 blocks. Leafs are controlling play but not threatening. No second chances. Mostly unable to break down in zone defences. And if they do then it's Pontus Holmberg alone in the slot and he rolls it wide on the backhand

leaving the cruelty aside for just a minute it's absolutely humiliating to imagine being my age or older and getting excited because you think you've been given permission to say a bad word. what are you gonna do next, ride your tricycle past the end of the block

play breakdowns get yer play breakdowns!!

🚨 hey just a heads-up to everybody. this is not a big deal, but i really feel like the best place for the cheese grater is the second shelf to the left of the sink, above the plates and bowls. some of you keep putting it in the utensil drawer, and it takes up way too much space there. thanks!

Top g/pg players in the OHL. Top 2 didn't make team. #7 scratched in the QF. Don't get mad at the players

Nothing better than when your sport federation makes blatantly terrible decisions, suffers the consequences, and then continues to make the same obviously bad decisions right in front of you

Dear Canada, you have a PK1 guy on one of the top penalty killing teams in the CHL in Cowan. Maybe you should use him more.

I'm no lover of max domi and this line has many real and true weaknesses but by God is it fun

i want the US to go out early in this year's wjc. i don't need Canada to win i just need them to be better than the US. and also i would like them to call up parekh now that Schaefer is out. But they won't do it because they are stupid

Would be nice if the leafs could consistently be easily better than an opponent that's not the fucking Buffalo Sabres

One of my bigger pet peeves is when people fantasy-trade-target ideas of players instead of ones that actually exist. We saw a lot of this during the Summer Of Throw Mitch Marner Into The Sun but it's not rare

Feels like the Leafs have been getting caved in like this pretty much every night lately.

going outside is so dope when it’s nice out. but inside is cool because that’s where you can plug in your electronics and watch tv shows. so i don’t know. hopefully this post wasted your time in some way

Leafs' annual goalie explosion is right on schedule

every 3-5 business days I get a notification stating nhl out of context has followed me

Myers Benoit domi mcmann robertson in the dzone. Uh oh

It feels like some kind of confirmation bias but I so rarely currently see the Leafs create the kind of clean cycle offense that they used to regularly. What happened to wrist shots from the top of the circle?? Is it all just useless point shots?

Hits are a mostly useless stat that doesn't mean anything and this franchise has spent the last three to five years treating them as if they're of equal importance as shot differential. This is the way

Lmao the flaws in the play you could ignore when you had the best goaltending in the league :)
