Zelensky was prepared to sign the minerals deal. He was looking for some kind of security agreement. As soon as he said he can’t trust the guy who invaded his country 11 years ago and has broken two agreements with so-called security arrangements, Vance went after him and it turned into Hagel vs Tkachuk. - Canada Cup
Trump "the great dealmaker"? He wants the Ukraine's minerals. Zelensky was absolutely right to walk away today. The only way Trump abandons the Ukraine is if:
a. He doesn't care that those minerals ultimately are taken by Putin when Ukraine falls
or
b. He and Putin already agreed on how to carve up the Ukraine during that meeting in Saudi Arabia
If it's b, then we have an entirely new world order. All of you Trump defenders....are you on board with allying with Vladimir Putin?? - fifty__missions
3 times with the net empty the Leafs shot for the empty net before getting center.
Marner, Kampf and then Mathews all shot for the net instead of laying up.. That was 3 faceoffs back in the zone.
Selfish hockey. - Azuredoom
Leafs have been playing poorly and winning games but they've consistently been shooting at empty nets all year. It's a strategy. If they score, the game is done. Winning FOs isn't a problem because the Leafs are usually good at winning them.
Leafs could just as easily try to "kill the clock" and have it back fire rather than just end the game with an ENG. It's clearly a coaching decision otherwise every single guy wouldn't be actively shooting for empty nets as often as they do.
