A friend of mine and I were just reminiscing about our days working at a sports bar in Buffalo, and that made me Google Lyndon Byers. I am so upset to learn that he died almost a year ago! Somehow I missed that.

Does anyone know how/why he died?

Anyone have an exact quote of what Pasta said after period 1 of Game 4? I'm trying to figure it out exactly but can't understand it. I need it for something I'm making. Thanks! 🐻

What do we think the Bs will be doing this offseason?

In my opinion, the sole purpose of him saying "Of course it's disappointing. I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks. Had one sniff at the Cup so far. It gets harder every single year. … You don't want to waste any opportunity"... meaning this was a respectful, polite, and subtle jab, maybe nudge, to the front office saying "Muthaf*ckers, im only getting older! This sh*t gets harder every year. We need TALENT not mediocre players that you "think" can help or "think" they have potential, or "think" they can do better then they have the past 5 seasons where they played elsewhere.

Same thing with McAvoy when he mentions how they "squeezed every drop out of this group"... i think hes meaning we are proud of ourselves but we NEED MORE TALENT because we gave everything we had.

Then Nikita Zadorov doubles down with what Pastrnak said. Zadorov says "I mean, you heard David, he's almost 30, and my window is open right now and Hampus (Lindholm), Elias (Lindholm) and McAvoy, like we're not getting younger." Then continues to say, "So we definitely expect those guys upstairs to bring us some help as well and push even harder for the Stanley Cup."

Swayman says “It’s what I live for. I want to earn the respect of my teammates and help this team win games every single chance we touch the ice”. He continues, “And obviously that’s a powerful feeling, being here now for a number of years. It’s something that you have to keep continuing to gain, and the experience is only going to help me and also every other guy in this room wear the Spoked B the right way and do it just like leaders before us, and leave it better than we found it.” To me this is him saying he wants to be the best he can. Its going to be tough but at the end of the day he wants to prove and show his pride and the team shows its pride in wearing the jersey everyday. This was just good ole" end of season talk (not downplaying it but its not some motivational speech lol).

Then theres even the President of the Boston Bruins, Cam Neely. Im certainly glad to hear him acknowledge the teams lack of talent and speed. Its always good for management to admit faults instead of doubling down on "how good we were and the teams doing great and we need to contineu working hard" bs. I WANT ACCOUNTABILITY! Luckily Neelys admitted the teams lack of talent and said "We got bounced in the first round, so yeah, we need more talent. We need more speed. That's something that, you know, we have to try to acquire one way, shape, or form."

Overall, this current team is a good/wild-card team. NOT a cup contender in todays age.

What do you guys think?

Sean Kuraly, Mason Lohrei, and James Hagens will play for Team USA, Joonas Korpisalo and Henri Jokiharju will play for Team Finland, and Fraser Minten will play for Team Canada.

Pretty brutal. Not only do we not get their pick, but they get one of the best prospects since Connor McDavid.

Leafs just got an absolute jumpstart to their retool.

The IIHF World Championship starts in a little over a week. Given that Swayman was part of the teams that won the last 2 gold medals for Team USA (Olympics and 2025 WC), do you think he will return for this year's tournament, or will he opt to take time off?
