The Leafs are the Rangers, and the Rangers are the Leafs.
I believe I’ll have made that argument on this weekend’s Slap Photographs. Mika Zibanejad is Auston Matthews, and Artemi Panarin is Mitch Marner.
Besides you recognize what? The Maple Leafs haven’t had Igor Shesterkin in internet, not to mention Henrik Lundqvist. Not even shut. In that means the Maple Leafs remind me of the Flyers of the late ’90s and early ’00s, when Philadelphia by no means had the very best goaltender when it got here right down to decisive video games in these collection they misplaced. The title Roman Čechmánek may ring a bell.
Who is aware of? This yr they could have — nicely, they could have earned a saw-off in opposition to Sergei Bobrovsky, who continues to show {that a} staff can win with a goalie making 5 figures as its (co-)highest-paid participant — if Anthony Stolarz hadn’t been knocked out of the collection in Recreation 1.
