Seems like the "right" price IMO.

Mind you, Matthews is projected to be a #1 first line 2-way centre a la Kopitar

They of course want the local kid, pay what they can to get him is smart for a team struggling like the Coyote's

I'd take a hard look at that offer if I was TML.

fuckin lelz...burnt by the CBJ :lawl:

The Leafs have lacked a 1C since Sundin. They aren't giving up 1st overall when someone of Matthew's calibre comes along.

The Kessel trade looking more and more lop-sided? The trade had to be done in order to get the rebuild going. The fact that the return was so small suggests maybe only Pens were interested in Kessel, after a season where he gave up. He was/is one of my favorite players and this run has given me an excuse to sport his jersey this post season. I didn't want to see him go, I will be happy to see him likely hoist the cup. But without that trade, the Leafs don't get Matthews. I'd still do that trade.

Would the leafs do Reily + Matthews for OEL Strome and Dvorak??

ARI is desperate

if youre desperate, you might get only Matthews for the other 3 :fullofwin:

WOW that was a quick start for the Sharks!!

and a quick start for the pen's lol

What a beauty of a first period lol

Martin Jones' stellar play is keeping the Sharks ahead tonight

C'mon San Jose, bring it to a game 6!

hurry at least one more hockey game left

two more games plz

RIP Mr. Hockey.
Hockey legend Gordie Howe passes away at age 88 - Sportsnet.ca

RIP legend :okay:

Saw the news while at the gym earlier... :okay:

RIP Legend

RIP, one of the all time greats

I'm beyond sad about Gordie being gone... I met him with my sister when I was a kid, sat in his lap and told him how bad I want to be in the NHL. I remember him smiling and telling me how he really hopes I make it, signed a picture saying "see you in the NHL" and I was so excited. Such a great man and he did so much for the game and for the fans over all of these years. RIP to one of the best ever.

rough week for legends
RIP Mr. Hockey

RIP Mr. Hockey. Gordie Howe, one of the all time great players to every play in the NHL.

It's a sad day for the league. :tears:

Played in an NHL alumni Alzheimers tourney a few years ago and Gordie was there. He was shaking hands with fans and I lined up for my turn to meet the great. I was next in line when his handlers put him in the town car and away they drove. So close to meeting a real life legend. :okay:

RIP

A friend of mine's dad is a huge Gordie Howe fan and sent him a rare Gordie Howe hockey card with a letter. Never expected to see it again until a few months later it showed up in the mail signed by Gordie Howe himself with a letter written by him. Great player, even better person.

RIP

Congrats to Pits and Nick Bonino

Pits deserved it for sure, good to see Crosby winning the Conn Smyth

Another Holy Grail for Crosby!
