I hope Lindy Ruff stays away from NYC.  He is an excellent coach and it would make the team instantly better.

Tortorella is an excellent head coach and to be quite honest, if DeBoer ever departs, I would love no one other than Torts coaching the Devils.  He reminds me of a mix between Pat Burns and Jacques Lemaire.  He just has to tone down his press conference antics a bit.

Richards for less than 3 million per.  2 year deal max.

That was a tough loss to swallow for the Leafs.   I chalk it up to inexperience and playing on the road for game 7.  Granted, it could happen to anyone, but when a team has not been to the playoffs in over 5 years, and they're all of a sudden playing a game 7 on the road and have a considerable lead, the bench must have been thinking "Well, this is not really happening is it...we're not supposed to be winning that big..."

And so you have it...the self fulfilling prophecy lives another day...the Leafs "willed" to lose the lead and so they did, and with it, the game as well...

Kovy was not happy today. Not sure of the context, though.

 

 

I like Kovy's "compete level" against the Finns.  Finns can be very obnoxious, so who knows what they must have said to him...
