The New York And Toronto Markets Have Major Detriments
Dennis Schneidler-Imagn Images Now there's an alibi out there for the Maple Leafs horrendous loss in Game Seven on Sunday night. It's the media. Too much attention – as the sobbing goes – is foisted on the darling Toronto players – day in and day out. It wears them out. The Really Scary Similarities Between The Rangers and Maple Leafs The Really Scary Similarities Between The Rangers and Maple Leafs The Maple Leafs are the richest team in the NHL and the Advertisement Rangers are second richest. (Can you guess what's coming next?) Supposedly, it makes them nervous and that's supposed to explain why they capsized at home by 6-1 scores in Games Five and Seven. From time to time The Maven hears the same nonsense in relation to the Rangers' demise this past season. Media avalanche buries the Blueshirts. Getting back to the Leafs, let's remember that Captain Auston Matthews is a skating cartel – a very, very well-paid fellow. Like Mitch Marner and that other multi-millionaire John Tavares, these fellows are not in any torture chamber when they are asked simple questions in English. They answer. What's the big deal? Advertisement The Leafs are babied everywhere they go – 5-star hotels, fancy restaurants, a dream training facility and a luxury private plane that's like a flying hotel. This is what they're asked to do during the regular season if you are Auston Matthews: 1. Play about 20 minutes of ice time a few times a week. Practice for a couple of hours a few times a week. 2. Speak to the media for about – maximum – five minutes after practice and after the games, if p.r. allows it. 3. Miscellaneous stuff that shouldn't amount to much. The rest of the time they do what they want. And have the whole summer free since they never win The Stanley Cup. Advertisement Considering how well they are paid, they should expect media scrutiny. What's the big deal – it's just words. Over and out in minutes. Anyone who's afraid of that deal should give up big-league hockey and try something less trying like siestas and oversleeping. Bottom Line: These Maple Leafs never had it so good. Too bad that they don't appreciate how lucky they are. Too bad they can't play like the Champs in Sunrise, Florida, of all places.

Flames Outlast Islanders, Win 4-3 In OT
© Dennis Schneidler-Imagn Images The New York Islanders picked up a point but fell to the Calgary Flames 4-3 in overtime. Defenseman Alexander Romanov returned to the lineup after missing the past two games with an illness, while the Flames were without defenseman MacKenzie Weegar due to a lower-body injury. Advertisement With Ilya Sorokin starting 20 of the Islanders' last 23 games, coach Patrick Roy went with Marcus Hogberg as the starter. Here's how it happened: The Flames wasted no time finding the scoresheet, as Long Island native Matt Coronato fired a shot from the point that beat Hogberg just 36 seconds into the game: The Islanders quickly responded, and ultimately tied the game at 1-1 when Bo Horvat found Tony DeAngelo's rebound at 10:46: This was Horvat's 24th goal of the season and third in his past two games. The Islanders took the lead later in the period when Marc Gatcomb beat Dan Vladar at 17:41: This was Gatcomb's fifth goal of the season, with Max Tsyplakov and Noah Dobson registering assists on the play. Advertisement The Flames outshot the Islanders 13-11 in the first period. A Flames odd-man rush left Coronato open in the slot, where he buried his second goal of the game -- and 20th of the season -- at 6:03 of the second period: It was a sloppy period for the Islanders, but Hudson Fasching nearly broke the tie with a slick move around the Flames' net with just under four minutes left in the frame. The Flames outshot the Islanders 13-6 in the second period. The third period had the feel of playoff hockey, with both teams locking things down defensively. The Islanders came close to regaining the lead with around six minutes remaining when Mike Reilly came close on a wraparound attempt. Advertisement Then, Kyle MacLean broke through when he put Tsyplakov's rebound past Vladar at 17:09: The Flames quickly tied the game at 3-3, as just 27 seconds later, Jonathan Huberdeau tipped Rasmus Andersson's shot past Hogberg: The Islanders outshot the Flames 9-7 in the third period. The Flames came away with the extra point when Nazem Kadri beat Hogberg 3:51 into the overtime frame: UP NEXT: The Islanders host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday at 7:30 PM ET Stay updated with the most interesting Islanders stories, analysis, breaking news and more!
