Adam is always so out of touch with what is happening in Montreal. I don't care if you don't like us, but at least get it right. Nobody in Montreal thinks we're going to be anywhere but bottom 7ish again. That's the plan. And it's not like we're all bragging about the Reinbacher pick. Our group is cautiously optimistic at best.
You deserve better. The Avs are back but the Wings have been forgotten. When is the seat going to get hot for Steve Yzerman btw? He hasn't managed to accomplish anything worthwhile with this team.
Maple Leafs fans calling fans from other teams insufferable should be forbidden by the law, even if they are right. Its making them even more insufferable.
in response to Adam's question... they can't use the Mighty Duck crest because that image is from when Disney owned the team... and they still own the image copyright Mighty Ducks had 3 movies, and even a cartoon... but that was almost 30 years ago, so I wonder if Disney is holding on to it incase they want to do any remakes?
Let's pump the brakes on "dominant". Shore up that D and goaltending enough to get in first. I could see them winning a round this year if all goes according to plan.
The Devils were dominant out of no where, if Levi is the real desl it could be big. Samuelsson-Dahlin Clifton-Power -Jokiharju Johnson is also a decent d core
15 minute overtime, no shootout, when the game is over it’s done, if nobody wins each team only gets one point. Puts real pressure to score and grabbing that extra point
If Reaves can at least teach these kids to stand up for themselves and each other I'll be happy even if he isn't played much, I hope Domi and Bertuzzi can help with this as well.
Sign Stamkos! When this got out Tampa fans are livid like C'mon he's the franchise player let him retire here. Don't do another St. Louis and trade him or let him finish his career somewhere
Adam is misremembering a little. Mogilny wasn't on that 94' Canucks team, he was still on the Sabres. He didn't get traded until after the following season.
I would just like to mention that I'm so happy so many of the entrenched ads have found their way out of the podcast. I wish the best for the success of this podcast and network but I feel like this has grown into what it has by people just being themselves. I don't think anyone was "upset" about the ads but I'm guessing most people are happy it's more organic now.
Problem is Nylander isn't a 200 foot player, he's pure offense and nothing else, he is really lazy on the back check, so unless he can change his entire game in his mid 20's, I don't see how this works.
I wish our stars would get mad. I think Reilly is the only one who gets mad and can channel it. It's not that guys like Auston and Mitch aren't passionate and hate losing, but they never show the kind of emotion that I believe it takes to play inspired hockey.
1:49:00 Does anyone remember when people were making the "slippery slope" arguments against having ad patches on jersey's and our boys here shut it down for being irrational? Pepperidge farm remembers.
I don't want fighting in hockey, BUT watching Wendell Clarke drop a much bigger St. Louis Blues player with one uppercut ....beautiful. joyous. Especially after Ferdenko sucker punched the Leaf goalie. The difference? Wendell was a great player, but when he fought, it was justified and didn't look like a drunken dance. Thugs beating up skill players doesn't work for me.
I don’t know why but I actually prefer the dead puck era. The defensive play and battles were insane. Scores were super low but guys had to work so hard for it that the emotion was so high. It was dirty, gritty, and super engaging. It’s more exciting from an offensive standpoint right now but I feel like the emotion and hate is missing.
ROFLMAO! Yeah, because Gudas had the audacity to cheer in Woll's face. The reality is, Reaves is going to be a anchor on the Leafs 4th line, for 5 minutes a night, every game. $1.35 million for 3 seasons because Gudas cheered in Woll's face. That is pathetic.
@@DaaaaaBears So many Leafs fans are still mad that Gudas yelled in poor little Joey Woll's face, just like these guys. That's why they are getting boners over Ryan 4th line Reaves. This isn't the 90's, teams can't really afford to have a "goon" anymore. He is irrelevant in todays NHL. Next time Gudas is mean, or Bennett is playing hard guys like Domi or Bertuzzi could have a word with him. Reaves is a dinosaur.
@@carletonrutherford1799 I’m a big fan of the Bertuzzi and Domi signing but both of them would get their eyes pumped shut by bennett and many other players, they’re not there to retaliate. A guy like reaves on the bench makes everyone play bigger and makes opponents think twice he’s valuable if used properly. Reaves isn’t coming in to play full season 10 min a night lol
Guy I’ve had Mono and other viruses for 7 months straight and am extremely bored but ur work has really made my days shorter thank you Adam Steve and especially Jesse for makin me laugh
Ryan Reeves would be glued to the bench in a playoff elimination game. Dudes a soup can with fists. If that's your solution to being tougher in the playoffs then you are doomed.
"Enforcing" doesn't work. People were taking runs at Yzerman even with Probert on the ice. Deterrence from enforcers is a myth. Heck I think I can find examples where someone takes a run just to agitate an enforcer.
@@jameson1239 I don't know. There are games missing on his career profile so I'm guessing probably some of the times however I argue that is irrelevant because the presence of an enforcer didn't deter the "attack" from happening. Just because an injury doesn't occur on a play doesn't always mean no penalty is called. A dangerous play is a dangerous play. The one thing I will say in favor of "enforcing" is that it can provide an energetic charge for a team and it's fans which could be a game changer.
To explain the Ryan Reaves effect, while he played in Vegas for 2 and a half years he had to participate in 9 fights. The following year, Keegan Kolesar (the desginated fighter) had to fight 9 fights IN ONE YEAR. Ryan Reaves does not have to fight, hes more of a "cooler" from Round House. He knows how to descalate the other team, while escalating his own team. Plus hes a locker room all timer. Huge reason why Vegas locker room is the way it is, and he hasnt played here for 2+ years
I heard Norm Ulman, from eons ago, was like that. Apparently he developed a reputation in the AHL, and by the time he came to the NHL few wanted to fight him. I *do* remember Ullman skating into scrums and the scrums all of a sudden settling down, so maybe there's something to that.
Your absolutely right and I've heard of other people say ohhh well he's useless in the playoffs. My argument to that is with the reaves effect the stars on the team get messed with less, hopefully leading to them being a little less banged up going in. That has real and tangible effects on a team even if he's not in the lineup. Even if reaves adds 5 percent of healthiness to a team that could bring them from 85 percent healthy to 90 percent healthy entering the playoffs I'll take that. Simmons was supposed to provide that but couldn't do it alone. Reaves will have other people like bertuzzi and domi to help back him up
@9:05 adam mentions putting it on your resume. I didn't know Jesse was part owner! I absolutely love that he is (if he is) he absolutely deserves it. Day one listener and the second jesse joined the show, it put it on a whole different level!
Being partners with friends or family can be amazing as long every thing works out. I've seen it tear a part families. Hopefully these guys have a clearly written structure and full transparency. They seem like good and smart people so I'm sure the skies the limit!
I remember Adam talking about the time they or he went to register the company and under the owner name, he said all 3 of their names are written. It was very important to him that all 3 of them are listed.
Nylander will be traded by the end of next week for a top four defenceman. Forward lines for the Leafs will be first line...Bertuzzi, Mathews, Jarnkrok...2nd line...Knies, Tavares, Marner.....3rd line....Robertson, Domi, Lafferty....4th....needs to be worked-out.
It was funny that certain MN TH-cam podcasters were crying about Reaves in Minnesota, and over time they stopped crying, and even celebrated him…just not too hard so as to lose their “stats” fans that watch the game in Excel charts.
I can assure you the toughness ramps up this year. Tre was a tougher guy, not in the NHL, but yeah. Keefe was an ahole when he played. I think the lack of toughness, was Kyle not wanting that style of play. We shall see
Wow. Detroit fans being realistic? I live in Red Wing country and their fans LOVE LOVE the Yzerplan. It is such a weird mix of talent but those young guys need a path. Hate Me I'm a Blackhawks fan. We're going to suck. We love this idea. One more season ignoring the playoffs and let the team grow under adversity. Next year Hawks will be able to buy a great vet ( a la Hossa) Yall are mad. Hate me.
Idea for extending OT and eliminating the shootout...What if they made overtime continuous until the 5 min mark, but still resumes. Once the 5 mins is up if 3 on 3 hasn't provided a goal, the next whistle or stop of play would extend the overtime by 2 mins, with a 4 on 3 powerplay for the Home team. If the home team doesn't score in that 2 min, then the horn would sound. The away team would then have a 4 on 3 powerplay for 2 mins...if neither teams score, the process would repeat with 5 on 3 powerplays. After that idk what could happen...repeat the 5 on 3 powerplays. Summary: Continuous 3on3 overtime, if no goal occurs before 5 minutes, play after the 5 mins will continue until a whistle or stoppage of play. If no goal occurs until that stoppage of play, the home team is awarded a 2min 4on3 powerplay. Icing would still count on the penalized team. Once the 2 mins is complete, if no goal occurs, play would stop. The away team would then get a 4on3 powerplay. If the away team does not score in 2 mins, the play would stop and the home team would then get a 5on3 powerplay. Repeat for away team. If no goal occurs, the powerplays would continue until a goal is scored.
Steve is a bit off with his take on Stützle stinking early last year lol. By the end of November (two months in) he had 22 points (8 goals, 14 assists) in 22 games. I remember Steve trying to dunk on Stützle at the time. The Sens were stinking throughout November and he was making a big fuss about how Stützle wasn’t living up to his contract. So Jesse(?) brought up his numbers and he was right around a P/PG player and Steve had to back peddle. Unless he’s just counting just the 8 games in October where he had 6points, then I don’t know where Steve is getting this ‘Stützle had a slow start + a bad month’ narrative from.
They as a whole haven't the slightest idea how most teams are doing or individual players are performing, especially Ottawa considering how close they are. And I get it, they're a maple leafs podcast. They know the maple leafs, a couple other large names that might be in the headlines that week, and that's about it. Definitely annoying when they try to talk with any authority and pretend to have the slightest idea what is happening throughout the league though.
He had 1 goal in his first nine games. 6 points in that time but 5 of those came in two games. So 6/9 games without a point to start the season. Pro rate his first 9 games it comes out at basically 9 goals 45 assists 54 points... that's a slow start for an 8M dollar player.
Adam? did you mean red line vs the 2 line pass rule? each 2 line pass is a stoppage in play and whistled dead, faceoff in neutral zone; Nowadays lets settle for Michigan plays and passing thru the neutral zone at 25 feet in the air so long as the winger is standing right before blue line performing pirouettes playing goal suck. wingers don't have to play defense, just stand before blue line until puck crosses first and then away they go, wait for the defenseman to hook you because there's really no chance defending that, and since hockey doesn't really care about defense only about point scoring. Forwards crossing the middle of the ice looking down at the puck and not looking at defenseman or second defenseman who's hiding behind the first who's about to smoke them. **** even better solution, cut the ice surface in half, eliminate the 1 goalie and defenseman on one side of the ice and each 5 player unit gets an automatic 5 on 2, the team with the highest point total wins. Sounds like CFL rules, almost like the time clock for pitchers in the warm up, 15 seconds until pitch is delivered, players no longer sliding/stealing because that might cause fans to have to wait for play to resume, if fans have to wait for sliders to stop stealing, fans parking spots will come up late. don't forget you can't come into contact with defensive players along the base path otherwise there'll be an incident and union officials will be called, massive stoppages in play and fans will be late for dinner, school, work, etc. Games will stretch into the midnight hours!! Same goes for Hockey. Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma'am.
Should have just signed Duchene if they wanted another center in free agency instead of adding Klingberg. Judging by Leafs training camp lines in practice however it seems Nylander is centering a line with Domi & Jarnkrok which I find very strange because at least Domi & Jarnkrok have the nhl experience in some capacity playing center. Tavares was on a line with Knies & Lafferty lol so if the idea was to move Tavares to the wing, I don't like the idea of Nylander centering a 3rd line especially using Domi and Jarnkrok together when it leaves Lafferty penciled in on the 2nd line lol. Have no idea what they are thinking but I hope it's not to try to get Nylander to lose a bit of leverage on his next contract because that would be extremely shady by the organization
As for Nylander to try as center. I'm surprised you guys did talk about the possibility of having three lines. Matthews center in the first line, Nylander or Tavares as second or third. Reason why I said it that way is because if it were me, I would have the player with the highest faceoff % play in the second line and the other in the third line. Hard for me to explain here in text. Wish I could talk to you by voice. You guys are missing a lot of points and argumentative facts to point out.
1:23:29 Jesse saying Buffalo led the league and Boston passed them... I guess he forgot that the Oilers actually led the league outright since November and finished with 335 goals.
Wait till Habs fans learn their prospect pool isn't as deep as literally everyone is telling them. You don't know insufferable. ( I am a Habs fan and fight me; no superstar in the 'deep' pool )
On the note of the 2006 Draft, that was also the day Boston traded Andrew Raycroft to Toronto for Tuukka Rask (aka the best goalie the Leafs ever drafted 🤣)
lol can someone explain the background on them joking about Pasta having a heart of gold and playing for free? I know he makes over 11, but seems like this was in reference to a prior joke or something?
Yeah exactly get good. Cause if you want to talk about Gudas, maybe we should start with the Bunting hit on Cernak for which he should been out for the playoffs?
does adam really have exactly 0 idea of how this team has been the last few seasons like the dcore was top 10 in basically every metric people have been saying john is washed since he signed with the team it doesnt make it true and then he thinks guy boucher will make the team MORE defensive than it was the thing they have struggled with is generating offense as a team and he thinks they are fine? like does this guy actually watch any hockey at all?
Stars fan here for Jesse's Klinger question, not as bad as Barrie on defense, but when they paired him with someone like Miro it was beautiful. All the Leafs need to do is put him with someone like a Brodie and the pairing will be perfect. And unlike Barrie his slapshot can actually hit somewhere besides the goalie's chest.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, Brodie is not Miro, that's so brutal. So you're saying that Klinger is good as long as you put him with a top defenseman to carry him. Yikes.
Matthews makes way too much money to have Marner as his primary winger. He got the money, time to prove he can have massive production without Marner and Nylander.
Jess is incorrect about the Leafs relaxing the suits requirement because it lasted one game before someone fucked it up for everybody and they went back to mandatory suits
New overtime format 2 on 2 and every minute a new player is allowed on the ice and no players are allowed off. offsides ceases to exist after the five minute mark.
When you guys brought up the Ducks I thought you were going to touch on the fact Zegras still doesn't have a contract. It's even crazier cause they have 16 mil in cap space
I think their thought process is you have the threat of him going in so it MAY deter some stuff. Reaver is buriable if it doesnt work out he's over 35 but does not have a 35 plus contract. If he goes down to the ahl it's only 200 k against the cap. Honestly even if he doesn't play if the playoffs there is still benefits to having him for the regular season. If he deters some teams from getting up to antics and that prevents injuries or lessens the wear and tear in the regular season, we may see a healthier squad going into the playoffs.
Full 2 minute penalties is a great idea, much better than removing icing. Scoring goes up, and penalties go down. This would have to come with more accountability with the ref.

They as a whole haven't the slightest idea how most teams are doing or individual players are performing, especially Ottawa considering how close they are.
And I get it, they're a maple leafs podcast. They know the maple leafs, a couple other large names that might be in the headlines that week, and that's about it. Definitely annoying when they try to talk with any authority and pretend to have the slightest idea what is happening throughout the league though.
He had 1 goal in his first nine games. 6 points in that time but 5 of those came in two games.
So 6/9 games without a point to start the season. Pro rate his first 9 games it comes out at basically 9 goals 45 assists 54 points... that's a slow start for an 8M dollar player.
Adam? did you mean red line vs the 2 line pass rule? each 2 line pass is a stoppage in play and whistled dead, faceoff in neutral zone; Nowadays lets settle for Michigan plays and passing thru the neutral zone at 25 feet in the air so long as the winger is standing right before blue line performing pirouettes playing goal suck. wingers don't have to play defense, just stand before blue line until puck crosses first and then away they go, wait for the defenseman to hook you because there's really no chance defending that, and since hockey doesn't really care about defense only about point scoring. Forwards crossing the middle of the ice looking down at the puck and not looking at defenseman or second defenseman who's hiding behind the first who's about to smoke them. **** even better solution, cut the ice surface in half, eliminate the 1 goalie and defenseman on one side of the ice and each 5 player unit gets an automatic 5 on 2, the team with the highest point total wins. Sounds like CFL rules, almost like the time clock for pitchers in the warm up, 15 seconds until pitch is delivered, players no longer sliding/stealing because that might cause fans to have to wait for play to resume, if fans have to wait for sliders to stop stealing, fans parking spots will come up late. don't forget you can't come into contact with defensive players along the base path otherwise there'll be an incident and union officials will be called, massive stoppages in play and fans will be late for dinner, school, work, etc. Games will stretch into the midnight hours!! Same goes for Hockey. Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma'am.
Should have just signed Duchene if they wanted another center in free agency instead of adding Klingberg. Judging by Leafs training camp lines in practice however it seems Nylander is centering a line with Domi & Jarnkrok which I find very strange because at least Domi & Jarnkrok have the nhl experience in some capacity playing center. Tavares was on a line with Knies & Lafferty lol so if the idea was to move Tavares to the wing, I don't like the idea of Nylander centering a 3rd line especially using Domi and Jarnkrok together when it leaves Lafferty penciled in on the 2nd line lol. Have no idea what they are thinking but I hope it's not to try to get Nylander to lose a bit of leverage on his next contract because that would be extremely shady by the organization
As for Nylander to try as center. I'm surprised you guys did talk about the possibility of having three lines. Matthews center in the first line, Nylander or Tavares as second or third. Reason why I said it that way is because if it were me, I would have the player with the highest faceoff % play in the second line and the other in the third line. Hard for me to explain here in text. Wish I could talk to you by voice. You guys are missing a lot of points and argumentative facts to point out.
1:23:29 Jesse saying Buffalo led the league and Boston passed them... I guess he forgot that the Oilers actually led the league outright since November and finished with 335 goals.
Wait till Habs fans learn their prospect pool isn't as deep as literally everyone is telling them. You don't know insufferable.
( I am a Habs fan and fight me; no superstar in the 'deep' pool )
We should all listen to Iron Maiden 18:05
On the note of the 2006 Draft, that was also the day Boston traded Andrew Raycroft to Toronto for Tuukka Rask (aka the best goalie the Leafs ever drafted 🤣)
lol can someone explain the background on them joking about Pasta having a heart of gold and playing for free? I know he makes over 11, but seems like this was in reference to a prior joke or something?
Yeah exactly get good. Cause if you want to talk about Gudas, maybe we should start with the Bunting hit on Cernak for which he should been out for the playoffs?
does adam really have exactly 0 idea of how this team has been the last few seasons
like the dcore was top 10 in basically every metric
people have been saying john is washed since he signed with the team it doesnt make it true
and then he thinks guy boucher will make the team MORE defensive than it was the thing they have struggled with is generating offense as a team and he thinks they are fine?
like does this guy actually watch any hockey at all?
"Steven Stamkos is livid on day one of camp"
LMFAO do ya'll know what "livid" means?
Dammit Adam! Such a troglodyte for not liking a contract enough!

Stars fan here for Jesse's Klinger question, not as bad as Barrie on defense, but when they paired him with someone like Miro it was beautiful. All the Leafs need to do is put him with someone like a Brodie and the pairing will be perfect. And unlike Barrie his slapshot can actually hit somewhere besides the goalie's chest.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, Brodie is not Miro, that's so brutal. So you're saying that Klinger is good as long as you put him with a top defenseman to carry him. Yikes.
@@Marixa1979McCabe stylistically could match Klingberg
@@mattheww7846 That's a bit of a tough ask of McCabe. He's definitely not the caliber of defenseman that Miro is.
Matthews makes way too much money to have Marner as his primary winger. He got the money, time to prove he can have massive production without Marner and Nylander.
Sens fans will be even happier with a signed pinto, and a gone Dorkin..our gm NEEDS TO GO💯😡
First 60 seconds of the show sum up why Toronto fans are the worst. THIS IS OUR YEAR.
I just dont even care who plays center, they finally went from 1 borderline top 6 left winger to 3 top 6 left wingers. They better win the cup
Jess is incorrect about the Leafs relaxing the suits requirement because it lasted one game before someone fucked it up for everybody and they went back to mandatory suits
We are gonna suck! ♥️ i am a habs fan!
Gotta fill in a couple more holes and I can see the habs contending, but the Atlantic is going to be wild, lots of good teams.
1:39:00 ... Kicking a puck into the net should be a goal, as long as your skate never left the ice. Otherwise it could be too dangerous.
What did he mean Steve? That he would beat up Gudas 6 months later? lol does anyone actually think Gudas would care?
Morgan Rielly plays with grit and determination! He should be captain, not Tavares!
Nathan MacKinnon broke out AFTER his contract, stop propagating the myth that he took less to win.
Anniv. and Sponsor on shoulders = You can actually see the ad in-game, de-clutter these abominations
New overtime format 2 on 2 and every minute a new player is allowed on the ice and no players are allowed off. offsides ceases to exist after the five minute mark.
Anyone know why I can’t buy tickets to the Nov 17th 1400hrs Tor vs Det game ?
Stamkos 8 x 4 unless you go they are legends 13 x 4 and rebuild
idk man it’s kind of a red flag that you don’t have any pictures of your family hanging up in your house
Im a Libra and in 10,000 years will rule the Vega system...
Come at me. Lol
Its pathetic the NHL allows a team to be sponsored by a comany 90% of people dont know
Reeve's, Domi, Bertuzzi, gritty guys for 3 lines.
Steve forgot which player it was? He's right there on the screen, it was Gudas!
I like that coffee mug. It's vaguely shaped like the NHL logo shield.
Here is an idea for you, if you are talking to people who are outside of camera, give them a mic!
the home team has to have there stick down first has been that way when i played in 60's!!!!!
Stop pumping klingbergs tires ..guys a shadow of himself
Habs fan here. I I know we suck. Bottom feeder. Lottery team again.
At least in the picture the Ducks jersey patch situation looks like a bad photoshop.
When you guys brought up the Ducks I thought you were going to touch on the fact Zegras still doesn't have a contract. It's even crazier cause they have 16 mil in cap space
Drysdal doesn’t either
Love the pod!!
Bergeron, Krejci and Lucic, all 2nd rounder, Marchand 3rd...
Ya'll acting like Port Perry is some far a way small ass town god damn 😂
Steve with an actually fresh fade. 👍
GUYS I HAVE A PAINTING THAT YOU WILL ALL AGREE ON! GET RID OF THE LIGHTHOUSE
That jake Sanderson contract living in their heads awesome
Can't wait for the Maple Laughs to realize Reeves won't even play in the playoffs when all the pushing and shoving will happen
I think their thought process is you have the threat of him going in so it MAY deter some stuff.
Reaver is buriable if it doesnt work out he's over 35 but does not have a 35 plus contract. If he goes down to the ahl it's only 200 k against the cap.
Honestly even if he doesn't play if the playoffs there is still benefits to having him for the regular season. If he deters some teams from getting up to antics and that prevents injuries or lessens the wear and tear in the regular season, we may see a healthier squad going into the playoffs.
Toronto fan calling a Sen’s fan “insufferable “!!! OMG, that is nuts!!! 😂
"Kids, kids! You're both...just...awful"
That's why everyone craps on leafs fans. They're so obnoxious.
Looking forward to the renewal of a great rivalry. Would be sweet to bounce Leafs in playoffs 😁
As a Sharks Fan, I am well aware they are going to be awful.
Steven Stamkos should be a life long Lightning like the Sedins were Canucks, or how Crosby should be a lifetime Penguin
I'll be in LA and ANA to watch both game. Lets go !!!!
Full 2 minute penalties is a great idea, much better than removing icing. Scoring goes up, and penalties go down. This would have to come with more accountability with the ref.
Can you imagine how much impact that would have in the playoffs though? refs already let way too much go, this would make it so much worse.
All real fans know better, just ask them!
Johan Bednar 👻 and Cossa.. Redwings will be good soon. Bednar is no joke. 29 stops in under 2 periods. GooseEgg prospect tour.
I've watched Cossa his entire career. He won't be a difference maker and Detroit tried to galaxy brain not picking Wallstedt.
Give stamkos a 3x23-25mil and a full no move and move on
Gatekeep leaf fans. 👍 in 4 years Sanderson will be a steal deal.
First!
Malding already even before pre season?
I can't
The 94 Canucks had 85 points….
Why can't the C or the A go on the arm like in soccer?
