Now that was Johnson’s fault.

Well, if they all refuse to shoot the puck from low in the slot, the latter is more likely...

Sportznet.

Not for nothing, but Disco was on the ESPN on Ice podcast yesterday (wysinski's new gig) extolling the virtue of +/- and stating that he's sure all sorts of guys dump the puck in and get off to improve their CORSI. As opposed to dumping the puck in and then not winning it down low because you were standing still at the blue line while the D are left abandoned to fire it down the ice in your general direction. No wonder pi Stans so hard for him.. (rolls eyes emoji)

Can it be labeled a 1st line if Zemgus is on it? I am not so sure...

Because Crisco died after one game, right?

You qualify him at his current salary, he walks to arbitration. The likelihood he settles for $4 million or gets no raise in arbitration is zero. Just let him walk, not worth the aggravation. And the possibility of having him on this team next year.

Nobody is paying him $5 million. I do agree that I'd like an upgrade over Johnson to provide insurance for Ullmark. There are options. Halak for the Lulz...

This is true, and makes me wonder if that lightbulb burns out shortly after any lengthy deal... Not saying it's definite or even likely, but if all he needed to do was, and indeed he had to flip a switch, presumably to get paid, does the switch stay on afterwards?

(Tents fingers) Excellent...

That was Lehner-esque from Anderson. Watch them waive this off.

Nice play by Nelson on the two-on-one though.

John Scott was an all star a couple years ago... (smiley face emoji)

I'll second that.

Zemgus was an all star a couple years ago...

Assist Ref.

I'm trying to decide how much Zemgus knew about that. He was looking down...

Baptiste and Nelson weren't exactly helping. Just an ugly sequence.

They're mirror images of each other. Johnson is less talented but cooler under pressure. Lehner is a panic attack in human form out there, albeit more physically gifted.

I hope Lehner was watching Chad hold the post there...

I dunno, remember that time Smehlik fought Lindros?

Kadri doesn't get punched nearly enough.

There's are few pleasures greater in life than watching all the sad Leafs fans shuffling out of the (insert this week's arena name here). Make it happen, boys...

John Steinbeck's King Arthur is fairly decent, if you're still on that kick. The Shining is his best novel. The short story collections are pretty much all interesting as well. King can't write a grocery list in less than a thousand pages for the most part, the short works are a change of pace.
