“When he says something like that it’s not shots to Toronto media or trying to reestablish the legacy of Mitch Marner — it’s more so like nah, I’m going to talk about my guy and what’s he’s doing in Vegas and why I love him so much.” - @emilymkaplan on John Tortorella’s praise for Mitch Marner.

Shane Doan and the Leafs have parted ways. His deal was expiring June 30. Sounds like a mutual decision. Doan was brought in by former Leafs GM Brad Treliving. Doan recently interviewed in Vancouver. We’ll see where Doan ends up but he’s now a free agent.

@MurphysLaw74 Jimmy, no disrespect, but the competition in West this playoffs has been a tad different. He’s been allowed to play his game, which is top level hockey, but the physicality of the opposition has been a different story for sure.

🚨Regarding Mitchell Griddy Marner: What’s the biggest difference from this year and years prior in the playoffs? He has played against far less physical top 6 forward cores in Utah and Anaheim vs years prior (Florida, Tampa, Boston). And it’s giving him confidence to make the plays he’s making. Griddy is a world class player no doubt, but the match ups have been way more favorable and tailored to his style of game. A leopard doesn’t change its spots. He’s just been reaping the benefits of less physical hockey against Utah and Anaheim. Not having to play against a bunch of dogs you’d find in Mike Vick’s backyard has made the world of difference for Mitchie. And that’s the truth. -People’s
