You’re not going to like it, but here’s the harsh truth: Trump would rather use taxpayer money to relitigate the 2020 election and January 6th through an “anti-weaponization” fund than focus on winning the midterms.



Darren Dreger reported on TSN's That's Hockey on May 13 that the Maple Leafs were told not only by Matthews but by a fair number of players on the roster that the addition of size and grit up front was a top priority: “I'm thinking back to the exit interviews at the end of this season and the messaging from some of the players, Auston Matthews included, and his belief that the Leafs need more size, a little bit more grit up front.” They don't necessarily need all gritty guys, but they certainly need some guys who can play aggressively while also adding a lot of offensive and defensive help. Think a Tom Wilson-esque player; someone who doesn't care for anyone but his teammates, will take advantage wherever he can, but also score you 30 goals and give you 200+ hits a season.









Sergei Bobrovsky's best two-game stretch in Florida: games one and two versus Toronto.



Defenceman drafted in the Top 10 who became 1D (2015 - 2022) - Sanderson (5th ovr) - Seider (6th ovr) - Hughes (7th ovr) - Dahlin (1st ovr) - Heiskanen (3rd ovr) - Makar (4th ovr) - Sergachev (9th ovr) - Werenski (8th ovr) 8/24 hit rate or 33% chance Way too much risk


Minnesota traded for Quinn Hughes and made it as far as the Flyers did.




The guy that drafted Barrett Hayton over Quinn Hughes is in charge of the Maple Leafs btw And the Toronto Maple Leafs biggest need is not a LW
