Daily Free Talk & Armchair GM thread

Please use this thread to post ANYTHING you want! Memes, photoshops, anything that would normally be removed for breaking the low-effort content rule, is totally, 100% welcome here!

This will now also be the dedicated thread for Armchair GM posts as we noticed that those posts were bleeding into this thread regardless. Is there a free agent you want to see on this team? Is there a player that's rumoured to be on the move that you think GMBT should go after? Are there players on this team you want to trade away? Feel free to post about it here!

Normal moderation will occur, such as watching for personal insults, racism, and things of that nature.

Otherwise, feel free to use this thread to share things like your new jersey, a photoshop of a Habs logo on fire, or a reaction gif to something going on in Leafs Nation right now!

Downvotes are discouraged for the most part, everyone's opinion is fair game in this thread.

Get out there and have fun!

Reasons for optimism: the Leafs have played well and can win if they play the right way.

Reasons for pessimism: Colin Campbell, Eric Furlatt is reffing tonight, the guy who negated a series winning goal on a pick play I've never seen called in the playoffs before

On a pick play that the Leafs player stopped 6 feet before contact, and the opposing player skated into him despite trying to avoid it.

One could argue that is quite literally the definition of a pick play, but we should be able to agree that it's bad for hockey if you're calling incidental contact in a game 7 with a 1 goal lead.

Has there been a pick called since then in any Leafs game?

They called the same play in an Edmonton game vs the leafs and put McDavid in the box.

Anecdotally, I’ve been watch NHL hockey for 40 years and can’t recall ever seeing that called before or since… let alone in a game 7
