Yeah, the accountability thing was an issue but that was more because of the inconsistency in how it was or wasn't applied. I thought our problem was more a lack of structure. Not so sure we need a hard ass to hold players accountable as much as we need someone who can convey to them where to be on the ice and what we're trying to accomplish. Too many times last season if felt like our guys were completely lost out there, especially in the defensive zone.

I hope you're right if they do in fact beat the Panthers. I think Boston was able to steal the first game because Florida hadn't played in a week.

True but I don't think Boston can beat the Rangers, so that's irrelevant. IMO Florida is our only hope for keeping the Rags out of the Stanley Cup

I have this dreadful feeling about the Rangers winning it this year. Between the Devils not performing anywhere close to expectations, all the injuries, our GM going into the witness protection program during a critical 4 month stretch of the season and the McLeod stuff, why wouldn’t this sh!tfest of a season end the worst possible way? Hopefully Tkachuk and Florida can put an end to this nightmare in the ECF.

That's disappointing. I was hoping this was more of a Larsson/DeBoer issue that the player actually sucking at professional hockey.

Off season in Toronto is the best https://nationalpost.com/sports/mitch-marner-allegation

Trouba is a fvcking circus clown

I'm shocked they didn't cut away to more unnecessary NFL draft analysis.

This is giving me PTSD from all the bullsh!t calls the refs made against the Devils against the Rags in game 6 and early in Game 7 until it was out of reach, last year.

I was considering that the 4th win. Larsson, Hischier, J Hughes and Nemec

Going back to the Larsson draft, we’ve “won” the lottery four times in like 13 drafts, right? Cant be too disappointed.

Hiring Berube now would be a bit of a head scratcher given his availability when last season was still salvageable.

The team is built to score but can't score in the playoffs so it's definitely time for them to address the roster construction. What is it now, 14 straight playoff games where they have not scored 4 goals and only once did they hit 3? Two or less goals in 13 or their last 14 playoff games! That's insane for a team with 4 guys making 11 million or more.

I wonder what Ottawa saw in Travis Green's stint in either NJ or Vancouver that made them say "I want some of that!"

Guilty as charged. I totally watch the elimination video every year. I will also shamelessly mass consume every other podcast out of Toronto for the next few days, listening to all the calls for change with the foresight to understand that by the draft, they will all have convinced themselves that they were a bounce away and will just run it back again. All that being said, I did also make a point to watch the LFR video last year when they finally won a series and made it to the second round. Dangle seems like a good dude and I wanted to see the other end of the spectrum. It's not our fault that there aren't more of those series winning vids.
