In light of the Arsenal's first EPL title in 22 years. Maybe there's hope for the Leafs.

Interesting article on David Carle

I knew nothing about this guy till recently. This article over at Mapleleaf hotstove is a very good breakdown from someone who's watched a lot of college hockey (whereas I've watched zero)

Tidbits:

On the forecheck, Denver is tenacious. They send F1 below the goal line to flush out the defenseman rather than letting the opposition calmly wait for the right breakout. If F1 starts to make noise, F2 will slide down as well to apply additional pressure. When the opposing regroup comes into the neutral zone, the forwards don’t stand in stationary positions, but instead surf around a bit to try and apply more pressure. They do not make it calm and easy for opposing defensive corps.

Interestingly, Carle’s version of forechecking has never been the Brad Treliving or Craig Berube version. His forecheck is not the big, physical approach of “snot,” looking to beat the opponent into submission. Carle’s teams are not particularly physical and are, in fact, one of the smallest teams in college hockey on an average height/weight basis. But what they lack in size, they make up for in speed and tenacity. They are on top of you constantly; fast, tenacious, and aggressive.

No-Trade/No-Move Clauses 2025-26 — The Fourth Period

Does anyone know how or why there is such a wide difference between teams with regards to No Movement Clauses? This list linked here is at least slightly out of date. Remarkable how some teams have zero NMC's, while others, like the Oilers, were bloated with 10. How is this determined? Are there GM's who simply flat out refuse to give NMC's? Ultimately, I'm curious what the strategy will be for Leafs new management. Is it even possible to internally set a team wide cap on this, or is this something the agents decide? My feel is the Leafs need to be tight on this moving forward, regardless of the cries that these must be included in order for someone to play in the toughest media market.

If Buffalo wins, it will be the two teams in the ECF that the Leafs last lost to in the ECF

This OT will be a good one.

Imagine if the Oilers hired Berube as their head coach?

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/oilers-receive-permission-to-talk-to-former-maple-leafs-coach-craig-berube/

It could happen because Berube can win people over and gain their confidence, he's from Calahoo which is close to Edmonton, and Oilers GM Stan Bowman is Stan Bowman.

Then the Leafs wouldn't be on the hook for the $8M or $9M still owed to Berube. Maybe they'll put that found money to good use and stop nickel-and-diming the fans, though it's Rogers, so they'll probably just keep it.

Best of all, it might help to drive McDavid out of Edmonton when Chief tries to turn #97 into a defensive specialist.

Why Are The Leafs The Most Hated Team In The League?

Not a fan, but it always bothered me why people are so hooked on acting like unreasonable douchebags whenever the leafs come up?

They have one if not the most passionate fanbases, and haven’t been relevant in a while so you’d think people would root for them.

But all I see is unwarranted toxicity and people obsessively making fun of them due to taking things too deep/seriously. I’m guessing people don’t have much other things to be happy about in life, to waste your time trolling the leafs.

After allowing five goals on 10 shots, Joseph Woll has been pulled and made way for Devin Cooley. Woll has allowed eight goals in just over four periods at this World Championship tournament for Team USA.
