Lots of stories around the league these days, but DAVID mf AYRES!!
Watching people live their dreams and have their moment is whay I watch sports. Such a great story and seems like a great guy. Couldn't be happier for the guy, and I love the LeafsNation meltdown.
Huge shoutout to Leafs fans that stuck around and gave him a great ovation when he was announced as the first star.
Puts this silly game back in to perspective. Just thrilled for the guy. The Canes loved it and so did I.

Yeah that was pretty epic. Good for him, imagine the stories he can tell until he dies.

I never thought I'd say this, but Tkachuk's pathetic cowardly display of pitiful turtling at the hands of Kassian is no longer the most shameful and embarrassing thing to happen this season. Flames fans should thank the Leafs.

Nah, Tkchicken still wins hands down. The Marlie's Zamboni Driver is a feel good story even leaf fans can appreciate on some level, Tkchicken no one appreciates outside of Calgary

Ayres had a better save % than Rask or Halak tonight. Love this story. Apparently he’s supposed to be a practice goalie with the leafs on Sunday, but they just canceled the practice.

The team has a T shirt already available but I hope they do a Jersey. I've gone to the last 3 Leafs games here and Leafs fans are the absolute worst ever.
This happening tonight is better than them going 53 years without a cup.
But watching the game, the Canes put on a D show I don't think I've ever seen before. The leafs were bad but the Canes players never gave an inch of ice.

Yeah, it reminded me of my kid's old novice games when they'd rotate the goalies and when it was "that" kid's turn to play in goal, the whole team plays Defence! The Canes coaches can bottle it and bring it out every time they want the team to put in effort on D (and they still scored 3 goals in a period as well)!

Saw someone post.
Goes to show you after 2 bouts with skin cancer. And a kidney transplant, you can still beat the leafs.
I got a good chuckle from that.

Bogosian signs with Tampa. 1 year 1.3 million
Ridiculous if you ask me, One would think they could have gotten him probably around league minimum. literally just discarded by Buffalo for the purpose of terminating his contract.

I saw that and was wondering if that means he's signed for remaining of this and next year or whether they signed him "pro-rated" for just this year in which case it's just a few hundred K??

Bogo had his say in this as well. He's been trying to get out of Buffalo for 2 seasons. He had the option of reporting to the AHL, but decided to take a 4mil(pro-rated) pay cut to play in the NHL. They would've traded him if there was any takers. Sounded like there was a low level auction for him so I'm not surprised that it's above the league minimum

Jumbo Joe should just retire before the season is over and say a proper good bye. Even though he's a UFA come July I doubt any potential contender team would be interested.

yeah, I'm surprised Marleau was picked up but not Joe? To me that's a sign to hang them up

Bobby Ryan comes back to the Senators on his 100th day sober. Scores a hatty and gets in a scrap.
Story book stuff.
edit: 1st player in league history to record a hat trick and a fighting major in the same game. Super cool.
