1. The power play clicking without matthews doesn't make sense (also kind of does because now any of the 5 guys on the ice can score rather than having to defend just the one) but it does make sense that the team does well with out matthews because Hockey is a team sport and no matter how good your one star player, if the rest of the team isn't also good they'll never succeed.

2. Is your new book going to have an audiobook version? I like to have both. Listen to you read it but follow along in the paper book. Helps focus better on bus trips.

3. Donate to an organization that kicked out children from their camps for not being vaccinated?

   I'd rather burn my cash.

4. Stolarz is Awsome you can tell he’s a great guy and he’s having fun when he plays , he plays like theirs no pressure at all that’s why he’s Awsome

5. They gotta shake up the lines when Matt comes back they play better

6. Thanks for reminding me to play today's wordle. lol

7. Alright hockey God's can you let up on Nick Roberson lol

8. Wordle nit here: Your first guess should NOT be silly. It should try to use the most common letters possible. Some combination of RSTLN and one or two vowels. I use STARE.

9. Does Nick Robertson's goal count in the playoffs?

10. It was nice to see them shut it down for once. Past years they lose that game 4-3 in ot

11. Let’s talk after the Bud’s final 10 games, leading into the playoffs. They seem to lack momentum this time of year which could have a lot to do with their early exits, year after year. First pack Marner’s bags as soon as possible, or nothing changes, regardless of other improvements throughout the team.

12. This isn’t the first time that Leafs excel when underdogs – maybe when they have a real handicap this relieves the pressure that they normally feel – they normally have no excuse for not winning with such star power.

13. STOLIE THE GOALIE!!

14. I haven’t felt this calm with the leafs goaltending at least in the Matthews era. And by that I mean Stolarz. Woll nope. Maybe I was when Campbell went on his run until he didn’t. I was actually shocked to see he’s only 6th overall in save percentage.

15. I think its safe to say Matthews is an over paid butt head

16. So based on what Steve said during this, we should see the following tonight

    Habs win 6-1
    Toronto goes 0-7 on the PP
    Reeves vs Wifi?

17. Took the under in the second quarter and thankfully the leafs got me the dub

18. I don't care if they score less…as long as they score more than their opponents. If they can play grinding games that's going to hopefully go further when it counts

19. Alternatively, the Leafs have a losing record when Marner out with injury. Mathews and Marner should be on their own lines.

20. I finally got myself a copy of Rants & Raves from the OC.

21. You'll be happy to hear one of our own Ranger.. @valleyviews says his childhood friends Goalie Stolarz is becoming a silent warrior. Also, congratulations on the money raised. I wanna come up from New Jersey with my son, I want your autograph and pics, lol..

22. With Matthews going on IR but I thought it was day to day no big deal back any day? Am I the only thinking the new captain is taking one for the team until the leafs sort out there trade/cap situation they are in with the injured guys coming back? I mean no one would sit Toronto's greatest player unless history shows us in small samples they play extremely well without him. I'm not saying rest wouldn't help him but IR , really? Question do you think Matthews will be back before the trade comes to allow the injured guys back in under cap or will the trade go down first and all is cap bliss then Matthews comes back? Matthews could be sore but IR hhmmm we will see how it plays out.

23. Some day we should invite you to are houses to watch hockey

24. As soon as the Robertson goal went in i said, well thats no goal. Dont understand how anyone could think otherwise

25. BOO VINCE!

26. The Stolarz move was absolutely fucking DOPE! That's a move out of The Dominator playbook dialed up to like 60.

27. Dumbest league perhaps…but dumbest sport I disagree…this is the best sport.
