Hockey Observations And Notes
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
- The series is called All or Nothing and the suspicion early on is there will be a whole lot more nothing than all about the Toronto Maple Leafs 2021 season in docu-drama.
The thought process going in was rather elementary: Spend a season with the Maple Leafs and film just about everything — the way HBO has done in the past with its terrific football series, Hard Knocks.
The Leafs, from a management perspective, were thrilled to be hosts of the series, with the assumption being that the past season was going to be a great one....
- For somewhat similar money, the Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning signed Corey Perry. The Florida Panthers signed Thornton. One of these is a good signing … And I wonder: Do the Panthers have pro scouts and were they, in fact, watching the Leafs last season?
- Mike Keenan is putting his pen to paper and, if it’s as honest as I suspect it to be, it will be a fascinating read. The writing has been done by Scott Morrison and the late Jay Greenberg.
- Still looking for work: Tyler Bozak. Also unsigned, Eric Staal.
