Fooler here is Ottawa, probably from the offseason hype that playoffs were around the corner.

We all know Leafs, Oilers, Habs fans are perpetually delusional about the realities of their team.

Rosters - Canada - 2023 Spengler Cup (hockeycanada.ca)

Spengler Cup roster announced.  Still no Nic Petan.  Oh well, maybe next year.

Good for Thomas Milic getting the call to the Spengler. Still have hope he'll be an NHL goaltender for the Jets one day...

He’s pretty small but I’m cheering him on

Jets called up Veil, some toughness there...😊

Poached from an article on TSN quoting Hartman:

“On my Ehlers suspension, Ehlers runs Kirill behind the net, so I make a hard, clean hit on Ehlers after I have the puck".

Roll tape please.

F'ing guy.

Listen our players are not saints either (Dillion etc) but geez man, it's really hard listening to you rationalize your play.

You went after Ehlers in retribution for his hit on one of your teammates but no balls to go after Dillion in retribution but instead go after a guy like CF. FFS.

I'm really beginning to dislike this Minnesota team.

I've hated them for years along with St. Louis. Both of them play dirty hockey.

I have a hard time caring enough about an American team to actually HATE them that much (I reserve my hate for Canadian teams like Calgary or Vancouver...mostly because of their "fan"-bases) but Minnesota is starting to climb the charts..........

 

Hockey Night in Hockey:

let’s talk Leafs.

oh the Winnipeg Jets are first in the league. Good for them.

let’s get back to the Leafs.

yes I’m exaggerating but jeez it’s hard to watch sometimes.

LOL - this is a video of Blake Wheeler getting his butt kicked by some guy on the Blackhawks.  Not sure why it is "Age restricted".

probably because Tinordi punched wheels in the back of the head, I'm no analyst but it looks like Tinordi started it

Cause at 37 you should probably not be fighting

Good for Blake but bad decision. 

The strange case of Cutter Gauthier..i thought it was only Canadian teams that had to put up with this, different rumours from being a Penguins fan to not wanting to play for Torts...weird.https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/flyers-president-jones-says-gauthier-didnt-want-to-be-a-flyer/

Seems pretty lame to me.  Imagine if Kyle Connor had acted like this...or Jacob Trou...never mind...

Somebody will pick him up won't be the Jets that's for sure

Probably the Oilers, they seem to enjoy make work projects (see Evander Kane).

Sorry I haven't given a shot to the Oilers lately. Taking a break from the Leafs.

Trouba didn’t.  We got 7 years out of him. The irony in all this is Gauthier likely would have signed here over Philly. 
 

why? Cuz he’s from Pittsburgh and was a pens fan growing up.  That’s the reason he didn’t wanna sign.

If he’s sober his playoff experience and presence prob wouldn’t be the worst idea. Don’t think he’s a TNSE character guy tho.

If that was the real reason why he wouldn't sign then the kid is a  moron and I wouldn't want a diva like him on my team.        I'd hope it was for other reasons why he wouldn't sign.
