    Leafs didn't re-sign all-star goalie Jack Campbell after his lengthy stretch of poor play following his 2022 all-star appearance. Enter Matt Murray (2 rings) and Ilya Samsonov, who many scouts felt was the best goalie in the 2015 entry draft. Both have been playing below expectations lately. It is hoped a change of scenery may help get them back into gear.

              Scheduling Matrix

              Games per team = 82 Games (41 home / 41 away)

              Each Division has 8 Teams



              Games Within Division

              5 teams x 2 home / 2 away (Subtotal 10 home / 10 away)

              1 team x 2 home / 1 away (Subtotal 2 home / 1 away)

              1 team x 1 home / 2 away (Subtotal 1 home / 2 away)



              Games Within Conference (but Non-Division)

              4 teams x 2 home / 1 away (Subtotal 8 home / 4 away)

              4 teams x 1 home / 2 away (Subtotal 4 home / 8 away)



              Non-Conference Games

              16 teams x 1 home / 1 away (Subtotal 16 home / 16 away)

                              I think Bunting may see 25 goals plus this season for the Leafs.

                                    Montreal and goaltender Jake Allen are discussing a "both sides want to get it done" multi-year contract extension.

                                    The club has meanwhile agreed to terms on a three-year, one-way contract extension (2022-23 to 2024-25) with goaltender Cayden Primeau.

                                    Carey Price posted on Instagram: “I just want to thank everyone who has been supportive over the past few weeks, months, and years. It has been a very emotional time for myself. Merci. GO HABS GO.”

                                      I don’t think we will ever see Carey Price play again.

                                        Hockey is right around the corner. It's crazy how all the sports start ramping up right at the same time. Once football hits things really get hectic in the sports world.

                                                    Jake McCabe is expected to miss 10-12 weeks after the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman had cervical spine surgery, the team announced Tuesday.

                                                    The 28-year-old had 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) and averaged 20:18 in ice time in 75 games last season, his first with the Blackhawks after agreeing to terms on a four-year, $16 million contract ($4 million average annual value) on July 28, 2021.

                                                            Quebec politicians: New Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki must learn French to connect with fans .

                                                            MONTREAL -- Several of Quebec's major party leaders say new Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki needs to learn French.

                                                            Coalition Avenir Québec leader François Legault said the Habs made an "excellent choice," describing the center as one of the team's best players, before adding that Suzuki now has to learn French.
                                                            Liberal Leader Dominique Anglade told reporters it would be a good thing if Suzuki learned French, adding that living in Quebec is an opportunity to learn the language. Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon described Suzuki as a "very good choice" for captain but added that it is important for the Habs captain to learn French because the position involves a bond with a Quebec fan base that has supported the team for generations.

                                                            Suzuki was asked Monday if he would try and learn French. He told reporters that he took online classes this summer as well as French in school growing up, but acknowledged he's currently better reading the language than speaking it.

                                                            "I'll get better at that," he said.

                                                            Playing all 82 games last season, Suzuki led the Canadiens in scoring with 21 goals and 40 assists for 61 points. Those totals were all career highs, though the team finished last in the Eastern Conference in a season marred by injury.

                                                            "There's been a lot of highs and lows, a lot of learning experiences," said Suzuki, whose great-grandparents emigrated to Canada from Japan. "I think I've got to handle each situation really well, just lead by example again. It's a privilege to have that pressure on you. We want to win hockey games and that's the biggest reason we're here." 😎

                                                                      MacKinnon is entering the final season of a seven-year, $44.1 million contract he signed July 8, 2016. He can become an unrestricted free agent after this season, but it's unlikely it gets to that point.
