NHL 2024-2025: Definitely the Leafs year

Protas is trying to do something nobody else ever has, finish with 60+ even strength points while having less than 2 power play points.

Cool stat I saw. Hagel now holds the record of most goals scored before a PP goal at 33.

That's so insane. Not sure Protas will hit that this year, but I'd bet on him to get another goal or two. It's interesting to think about him not getting more PP time since we usually play 2 left shooting forwards down low and on the half wall next to Carlson or Chychrun at the point. Although us using both Strome and Dubois on the 1st unit would mean we'd lack an acting center if we just went with McMichael and Protas in those spots for the 2nd unit, even if both of them have played center before.

Well, guess the Canucks have given up the slim playoff chase. Terrible game against the Kraken.

Can't keep playing Quinn Hughes 30 minutes a night while missing your 1(?)/2C's and a top six winger.

Terrible season with all the drama, injuries and inconsistent play. Now on to draft talk!

Very annoying game for sure. The Kraken keep winning lately instead of losing out and getting a top 4 pick.
