Chasing OV: I'm tracking Auston Matthews' scoring pace vs. Alexander Ovechkin's career totals with updates every 10 games.

As of March 29th, 2025 (620 GP):

Matthews' lead on Ovechkin continues to shrink, from a high of +27 at the 580-game mark to +9 now (also down from last update's +11).

I've stopped thinking "Max Domi should be smarter than that".

He just isn't.

So the Leafs have looked good for 1 out of 5 periods this season. Great.

Missed the first. The second has been so bad.

Can’t get over how bad the Leafs have looked in this second period.

I try not to delight in the death of others, but I’m going to make a special exception here.

Fuck Ian Watkins.

I wish you no harm or harassment, but I also hope a heavy shame follows you around any time you return “home”. I hope you feel the palpable disappointment. I hope you notice when people won’t make eye contact with you. You failed.

Hey Mitch, looking good! Remember when you squeezed your hometown team for every possible cent, never showed up when it mattered most, refused to negotiate an extension in-season, blocked a trade that would have set up your friends & teammates for success, then bailed and blamed the fans? Fuck you.

Not a great first period from Maccelli. Giveaways abound.

I like Laughton. He could be a valuable piece this year.

However, trading a 1st for him was an egregious mistake. Treliving had just failed to trade Marner and was looking at losing him for nothing. To give away a key asset for a 4C totally kneecapped TOR from adding an impact player this deadline.

It's often been the case that the Leafs are bad when the Habs are good, and vice versa, but last season was the third-strongest season for the two teams combined. Wonder where 20252026 ends up landing.

School buses are hilarious.

“We need a vehicle to transport dozens of children.”

“That’s gonna require a lot of seatbelts.”

“No.”

Sammy Blais just feels like Dakota Joshua Lite.

Good to see the Leafs pick up a G while this weird Woll situation plays out. Wanted Reimer released from his PTO and Hildeby getting consistent starts with the Marlies.
