I just heard this. RIP. Such a great guy and so fun to watch. I went to a game where he dropped the gloves at the end of the game and skated around taking on anyone willing. The GOAT!

FFS, Gino Odjick died today of a heart attack. One of the real good guys of NHL days gone by. RIP.
Gino made it 8 years, longer then he was told in 2014 at VGH.

Ley's not forget how much of a kid he was whenever he scored a goal. Remember way back one game at the PNE when he scored he was so happy and didn't want it to end. Everyone on the bench was chuckling because he wanted to stay on an extra shift. Think it was Quin who kinda shrugged his shoulders chuckling like the rest of the bench as they tried to get Gino to end his shift.
Now the Golden Jet has passed away. Bobby Hull dead at 84. He made it 6 years longer than team mates Stan Mikita & Tony Esposito who both passed at 78. I am getting old. I remember like it was yesterday he bolted to the WHA for millions. A lot of current players prolly owe something to him for making the money they do. The NHL had to put a rule in just for him & Stan cause they were bending their stick blades too much. RIP, Bobby.
See ya Bo, it’s a shame. Ironic that you’re going to the island. Just like Trevor under another shitty management group. I was all for signing Miller but not at this expense.
Francesco, sell the Fucking team!

At least Trevor was able to cement a legacy in Vancouver with a decent team and a playoff run. Please sell Francesco!
RIP Bobby.
Hull was a racist and a wife(s) abuser.... I won't shed too many tears.

So if the Leafs choke and blow a 3-1 series lead will Toronto implode and become a black hole that destroys humanity?
Humanity survived when they did that exact same thing in 2021 (Canadiens), so I think it'll just be par for the course.

They also choked on a 3-2 series lead vs Tampa Bay in last years playoffs as well.
Remember the fans obnoxious celebrations for winning Game 1? Or the primate in yellow trying to take on the Lightning guy in the penalty box? I thought our Vancouver fans are a bunch of tools but the Leafs fans are on a whole different level of mass hysteria over nothing. They will choke because their fans deserve it.

I dunno, this year feels different as the expectations are much higher. I think a first round exist would be a catastrophe in Leaf land.
In other news I'd like to see the Bruins lose in game 7 of the cup final.
dang, that goal by Pastrnak the other night was an eye popper
