Former-Flyer Craig Berube would be the most hilarious and predictable outcome.

I didn’t know you existed before this post. But this is pathetic, presumably even for you.

My wife and I have a running list of band/album/song names. “Here’s the latest from Old Man Chinstrap, it’s called Onion in the Trunk.”

3 out of 4 points against Vegas and Colorado. I'll take it.

Since 2021-22, the Colorado Avalanche have the 2nd-best penalties plus/minus (powerplay opportunities minus times shorthanded), with +128. The Leafs have the 6th-worst mark (-54). Ball Centre, miss me with your bitching.

What exactly does Craig Simpson think a delay is? That was immediate.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I don't know who that ref in the corner was, but he's a gigantic coward.

Early returns on the Raddysh signing... not great!

I always knew there would be a day Rielly's legs started to fail him. I never thought it would come so soon.

Tocchet doesn’t have long.

Wow that is brutal news for Shesterkin And also, most importantly, my fantasy teams: my keeper goalies are Igor and Hellebuyck. 😔 I do wonder if this kicks off a domino effect: UPL presumably won’t waive for Winnipeg in a Hellebuyck deal… but he may waive for NYR. Maybe NYR go after F Gustavsson

Martone already has 10 NHL points from the tail-end of last season?

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

So Rasmus Andersson jams the puck up against the boards in the offensive zone with his skate, never tries to free it, gets a whistle, and the faceoff is in the Leafs zone?

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Rielly could have absolutely trucked Eichel here but decided on a fly-by.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Dakota Joshua ($3.25M) for Connor Zary ($3.775M), who says no? Might be a worthwhile swing on a talented guy. Get him working with Andy O'Brien to rebuild his body after knee injuries. We already have four Dakota Joshuas.

Brad Marchand is in Year 2 of a SIX YEAR contract that takes him until he's 43 (!!!) He had bilateral hip arthroscopy & labral repair in 2022 & sports hernia surgery in 2024 The Panthers knew they were never going to see Marchand in their jersey in his 40s Contract never should have been allowed

William Nylander is the number one cause of tension with your uncle in Leafs Nation

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I can’t fucking believe this. This is where it buffered on the post-game Sportscentre highlights.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Any time you can get a point after being down 0-3 is a win. Any time you can get two points after being down 0-3… That’s Amore.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Oh my god enough about McKenna’s optional skates. Are we going to do this for the next 80 games?

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

My stream paused right here. 🤦

Blueger’s just “a guy” isn’t he?

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It's only been three games so things can change drastically from one game to another, but at 5v5 the Leafs have 42% of actual goals (GF%) versus a 52% expected share of goals (xGF%). They're shooting 6% at 5v5. There will be a rebound.

Excruciating season. Vibes were so low.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Lebrun has always low-key sucked

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Absolute insanity. And we thought 7 x $4.5M for Zaitsev with ~75GP was crazy.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

God damn it, JT. Throw the guy who hit your goalie to the ground.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Haven’t seen a Leaf embiggen this much over an offseason since Nazem Kadri. Cowan’s a beast, man.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Easton Cowan, man. What a start for him.

I regret to inform you Mr. Manslaughter is still in the NHL.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I don't think chemistry was necessarily the issue last night. It was both players' individual inability to make a pass out of their own zone.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Oooof tough game from Raddysh

000

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I am *shocked* you would make assumptions and throw accusations about my entire worldview based on a disagreement about word use. 🙄 I have reached my limit of interactions with you for the month. Here, go get that last word you so desperately need.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

No, it’s how people tune you out.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yeah we’ve been down this road before. I just don’t think you live in the real world. 🤷‍♂️

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

When you throw the words fascism and authoritarian around so willy-nilly they start to lose their power. I think you can make an argument for some of the legislation being overreaching without having to resort to hyperbole. 🤷‍♂️

Love to see the give-and-go between Matthews and Marchenko there. Just one too many go’s.

020

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

This is the one year the Leafs could have used a longer preseason. Lots of new guys, chemistry to build, new system to learn, old system to unlearn.

Mark Norman @mnorman87.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Washed Anderson is still in the league?
