Such a perfect trade. Exactly what they needed. Now they gotta shore up some of the pitching depth, even if they don't get Yamamoto/

No. NO. Absolutely not. FAH. FAM. Forever and always.

The regular season is a slog and especially nights like that - back-to-back, with travel, less than 24 hours after the previous game, and against a rested opposite conference opponent - are games that you just take whatever points you get and run. Same goes for the Preds game - Shesterkin bailed the Rangers out. Just gotta make sure it doesn't become a habit.

I know it all worked out - "MATTEAU, MATTEAU, MATTEAU" and all that - but Tony Amonte.

Shame Kane isn't playing so Rangers fans can chant "WE DON'T WANT YOU" like they did to Nash

If you thought he was bad/slow/tentative before, just wait until he has to recover from a major knee injury.

Oh no, the Leafs need to find a way to keep one of the top scorers in the league!

Yeah, it doesn't have intake fans, so you wouldn't accumulate as much dust inside. With modern cases, good cable management, circulation, and filters help limit the dust though.

I don't think this is totally beyond the pale.

For most people and uses, there's almost no reason to water cool except for it to look cool.

Usually, this type of thing points to a player being a Bad Guy™, but he seems pretty chill so idk

They had like 11 NHL defensemen in their organization and he just got odd-manned out. They went a little too HAM on the search for depth.

He's just built different

I happen to think it'll only get better

He was considered to be a one-trick offensive defenseman and he barely played last season in Toronto after he got traded from Washington.
