That's honestly a nice surprise. I thought for sure they were going to settle for more playoff mediocrity with McLellan/Boudreau.

I want Boudreau coaching the PP. He just loves the leafs

@@JamesStLaker Hopefully as an assistant to Berube. I think they already brought Marc Savard as the PP coach

​@@deedsofdecapitation7477 lol dont look at berubes record other than the Stanley cup year. All first round exits.

@@funstarr Yeah but at least that's an improvement over the other candidates.

well adam hates edmonton and the west sooo it doesnt surprise me

He was first on the Bench Sammy train

No question they have an eye on it

I wouldn't mind it if reverse hits were ever called. They aren't though. Now we're in the playoffs and this is when they call it. I've seen so many reverse hits that are just flat out interference. Why call it now....

He left his feet prior to the hit. 🤷

@@KomatiPoort even IF you find some nitpicky by the book rule in it, it’s literally never called in regular season let alone a playoff game. Absurd especially given what else isn’t being called and not called. The call was ridiculous

@@dobbingo9313 I won't debate that, I'm just saying that he left his feet. Given the league's emphasis on head contact, it makes some sense to me that they would want to minimize this. I agree that I've never seen it called on a play like this, but guys don't jump into hits terribly often as it is, because it's penalized.

Everyone knows it is possible to interpret the rule like this but they do not. So why would they start (and most likely stop) now

And his are always forward momentum.

Trouba and Rempe do this as well. And so does everyone else but cannot think of anyone else I'm 100% sure of at the moment.

Adam been building to this every c season lol 😅

A VAN-NYR series would genuinely be one of the most entertaining on-ice products we’ve had in ages. The games they played against each other this season were so damn fun

Well thus far the rangers have a multitude of similarities to that season. I’d say there’s a good chance lol

There’s also a chance of a 1996 Colorado Florida rematch but no one seems to be mentioning that.

@@lankancheetah A little light on fans for that to come up, no?

@@lankancheetah​​⁠​​⁠​​⁠honestly that’s because it’s not as interesting lol. Alongside everything outlined below, that Panthers-Avs series was a sweep. The Rangers-Canucks series went a full 7 games and was incredibly tight. That’s way more enticing. Everyone knows Colorado’s a contender, they’re always around this time of year. Florida’s damn good but they already went deep last year and reruns aren’t as novel. The Canucks are far and away the most fascinating team still alive in the playoffs right now. Everyone’s been doubting that team all year, and they’ve been proving people wrong over and over and over again. It’s only now, when they’re within 1 win of being in the final 4, that people are starting to come around and realize they might actually be good. That narrative alone is already money. Then you have NYR on this stretch with a ton of parallels to their 1994 season. All the historic signs are there. They’re a juggernaut who won 7 games in a row this playoffs and they’re looking to overcome that President’s Trophy curse just like they did in 94. It’s the 30 year anniversary of the Canucks-Rangers series. NYR won their first cup in 54 years that series. The Canucks have now gone 54 years without a cup. Combine everything all of this and you’ve got a matchup of destiny in the making.

Fox wouldn't sign with any team except the Rangers. The Calgary Flames had his rights first and they traded his rights to Carolina to then get traded to the Rangers

Exactly. He looked like he was jumping to try to avoid the check like he is know to do.

😂

It doesn't fit with the obvious spirit of the rule, and it doesn't fit with the literal language of "jumping into" an opposing player. I assume the refs saw somebody lift their skates on contact and had a utter brain fart

Go watch old Datsuyk, Kronwall, Or current Mathew Tkachuck hits

He tried to jump to avoid lmfao he got run into...

And Canucks too.....plus his wife kammy s hockey giant herself also Canucks assistant GM ....

Theres bigger things to worry about bud..your living in the past move on.

@@LordNioh adam is the one living in the past 😂

It was a reverse hit. He jumps into the oncoming player

@@zanderwilll LOL! If it was a reverse hit there are literally hundreds of reverse hits a year in the NHL that go unpenalized.

As a RESULT of distance travelled. He was stationary, not a charge.

@@danielward651 Vertical distance is still distance

Just looked it up. Last time all Canadian teams made the playoffs was 1986

Hronek has been pretty rough overall for the least 4 months.
