Battle of Ontario on Wednesday should be renamed to the battle of 2 awful hockey teams. Both teams have been nothing short of terrible lately.

Holy f***. Toronto Maple Leaves fans are so colossally stupid. I bet that moron wisheshe hadn't done that.

 

Living as a sports fan in Toronto is so embarrassing.

To be fair that was the most exciting part of the game for me

If any of you are looking to jump ship its a good time to be a Jets fan right now.... The team is playing great and winning, plus we got some great young kids coming (Ehlers, Petan, Morrisey) one should catch.

 

Everyone is welcome lol.

lol 3 Canadian teams make up the top 5 of teams going nowhere.

That was feeble man.

I think it would be cool if Dion turned into an Ulf Samuelsson type. Since everyone in the league apparently doesn't like him (he's a big meanie isn't he) he might as well roll with it.

Sens, wild and oilers get points tonight

 

Now lets go flyers!

[Spanky__99]

This team can't play this system, making the same mistakes, they're terrible, run and gun or this? I'll take the former.

GD, please remind me again about the Leafs super awesome core. Thx.

Leafs outplayed them in the last 40, that 1st period was atrocious, Sens stink, lol Leafs.

*score effects*

 

Although it was probably a little more than that. Sens also on a b2b.

Leafs now currently in 9th worst place. This is happening faster than I thought. Wild and Philly less than 3pts behind too.

So how far apart are McDavid and Eichel from the 2nd tier? Is consensus still that there's a massive drop?

I don't think things fall off at Hanifin, Strome and Barzal.

I think there's still a big drop but its more Mcdavid/Eichel are so good rather than the other players being worse. Hanifin would probably be in contention for number 1 in past years and strome/barzal/marner are all top 4 talents.

People can also stop lumping Eichel and McDavid in the same tier. McDavid is in the conversation for best prospect ever.

I think McDavid made it pretty clear at the Juniors that it's not even close between the two

[Frag]

This shows why you don't draft Lawson Crouse in the top 10.

Analytics guys on Twitter seem to hate him so much. I mean I don't think he is a top 7 player but hes still a pretty good prospect. Marner seems to be pretty underrated though and I think he could be the steal of the draft.

Exactly, this McEichel stuff is horseshit, McDavid is a generational talent, than there's Eichel, than there's the rest. It's a great draft this year, but McDavid>>>>>>Eichel>>>>the rest.
