Marner just hit the ice because Bertuzzi chased behind the net and jumped off. Please, at least watch the games.

I'm barely on here and when I am, you're still hammering everyone with the same BS takes that nobody agrees with.

Hint: it's not because you're brilliant, it's because you're a (frank)ing idiot and your takes are (frank)ing stupid.

No one is arguing this. He wants to be in Toronto and is likely going to ride out his current contract. Nothing Leafs can do to force him to move and any attempt is terrible optically
- jribout

He "wants" to be Toronto but Toronto should not "want" him back. He had 6 years. His time should be up.

The Leafs can absolutely get him to agree to a trade by telling him he's not welcome back and will not be extended.

If the player knows his future is not with the team, he picks a new team he has a future with and moves on.

It's literally been done dozens of times. Players waive NMC every, single, year...

Pot...



...meet kettle.




Was Pavelski ever 10% or higher of his team's cap hit?

Tavares being a point per game player isn't what he was paid for. He was the 2nd highest paid player the day he signed and hasn't ever played up to it. Right now he's 10th in the league in cap hit. Is he even a top 30 player? Not a chance.



Acolodaes? Is that a Portuguese word for something?

Tavares got his chance in his prime. He didn't live up to it. Marner at least has his prime ahead of him and won't get you anything to replace his value because he can and will refuse to move his NMC.

I'm not seeing how Tavares being PPG has anything to do with your comment about developing their own players and how incessantly stupid it was when you did it with Robbie Earl.

But full disclosure, as soon as you start your petulant little break everything apart act, I check out. You're an absolute insufferable arrogant know it all with a very prominent history of being dependably wrong.

Typo, (frank)wit.

Jog on.

Stop talking. You're a (frank)ing loser.

Sigh… I truly wish covid didn’t happen so the cap wouldn’t have been froze and these salary debates wouldn’t need to occur.

The catalyst here is using this account to circumvent a ban, and is a total Richard anyways. Should he go the AA route that debate would dry up real quick. 😆

6. Respect your fellow HockeyBuzzers
No name calling. And you’re not being clever if you say “any moron knows” or “only an idiot doesn’t understand.” You’re being disrespectful. Talk more about hockey and less about each other. Although playful banter is allowed, that does not mean anything goes, if the banter breaks any part of the code of conduct, it isn’t playful and it is not acceptable. When “Player X stinks" turns into "You stink" you've crossed the line. And yes, the Moderators decide where the line is.

It is not against the rules for someone to disagree with you.

But it did and the Leafs have to adapt to it because the NHL won't change the rules for them.

Unless they wanted to restructure the CBA so the cap can be recalculated based on taxes. Don't see that happening though.

Pasta was going twice as fast because he looped and Marner wasn't responsible for that guy with the Leafs forechecking structure.

already read it and about 50 others. Opinion is split, but of course as per the norm you cherry pick stats and articles.

Here is something you can watch. Not an opinion but actual fact.

Pasta almost stops to stay onside but Mitch barely moves his legs. In other words lets him go with no defensive effort.

The most condescending petulant know-it-all arrogant little (frank)wit bumhole in the history of a site that AA has been poopting all over for half a decade.

Borderline impressive accomplishment really.

Well it's clear as day, Marner wasn't the problem. It was Bertuzzi and Tavares who didn't do their job that put the rest of their team at a disadvantage on that play. The cherry picking is happening by blaming Marner and ignoring the rest of the failures of the forecheck on that play.

But he didn’t.

And this upcoming year will be about Berube will want moving forward. Talent won’t matter if it doesn’t mesh in with what he wants to do. This rebuild will take a couple.

Bertuzzi's change has NOTHING to do with Marner not being able to stay with Pasta. That is plain laziness and or defensive cluelessness. But keep reaching.

Bertuzzi chased behind the net and made a horrible change. It absolutely does put Marner at a disadvantage getting back on the ice. Tavares not being high enough at the redline changes who Marner is trying to cover for. If you watch the replay, Zacha is sitting right there who was a potential target for a pass in the middle of the ice.
