Please NHL, put us out of our misery and announce the Hub Cities already
Living in Edmonton I feel like I’m in the one city that remotely cares about this Hub City saga. The Premier has hilariously shared videos of the province where all the footage is four hours away from the flat prairie city in which the players would be locked down. The media provides daily updates on…

What In The What? A look back at this week in Leafs Nation.

Scott’s Thoughts: It’s probably better if the Leafs get swept by Columbus
Is this a hot take? I mean, it might have been a lot hotter of a take in previous years, but I think a Leafs fan saying they want the Leafs to lose when it doesn’t involve tanking is still kind of a hot take. I feel like this will be a lot less of…

Friday Future Stars: Who we’d like to see the Leafs take in the second round of the draft
It seems like there has been an absolute flood of draft content across the internet of late, and it’s in part due to the tradition of talking draft in late June, but much more due to the fact that tonight at 8pm Eastern the NHL will announce the winners of the draft lottery. Tonight has…

Analyzing the State of NHL Contracts in 2021
At this point the words ‘last season’, ‘this season’, and ‘next season’ have become so conflated that it’s hard to say what season is being talked about. Conveniently, the entirety of ‘next season’ may take place in the 2021 calendar year. I hope we can just say “the 2021 season” rather than the “Twenty-Twenty, Twenty-Twenty-One…
