Doesn't sound like Marner is asking for even the most minimal of discoutns.. The Leafs stars have always been paid a tad above market vs comps.I really hope they let MM16 and his 14M asking price - WALK!
I hate to say it, but it was also a lack of teamwork and skill...The team that is clearly better suited for playoff hockey won.
The lack of heart, grit and will displayed by the Leafs was an embarrassment.
Spent almost a week there in the mid-90s. Pure serenity with an impeccably tailored Italian landscape. Not many tourists back then. Ate at Al Sorriso in the nearby Novara hills, a Ma and Pa Piedmontese restaurant, if Ma and Pa had a Michelin star or two. Maybe the Leafs could go there for some R&R head-adjustments.Out of interest, I looked in Max Pacioretty's background. His great grandparents left Italy in the 1920s to escape fascism. If it wasn't for bleak circumstances they would never have left the Varese region.
You could be describing the Rangers, my beloved cursed team since The Gumper was in the nets. '94 was but a hiccup: Messier burped. That's all it was.Its early in the third, but imho the better team is winning.
The Leafs turnover the puck, miss passes, flub shots, and if it wasn't for Woll the score right now would be 5 to 1 at least...
And the Panthers do it all RIGHT! So few mistakes, and much better position play.
Keep KNIES, DOMI and TANEV, Goaltending is not the problem.The Leafs will NEVER be a real contender unless they can get rid of Rielly. 3 more years of the worst defensive liability at 7.5 mil. Buy him out at all costs.
