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.

Rangers sign top prospect Gabe Perreault to entry-level deal
The Rangers have signed top prospect Gabe Perreault to a three-year, entry-level contract. Perreault's sophomore season with Boston College came to an end on Sunday with a loss to Denver in the NCAA Regional Finals -- and his camp reached out to the organization shortly after looking to take his game to the next level. Advertisement He'll join the team for Tuesday's practice and could make his NHL debut as soon as Wednesday against the Wild. The 19-year-old has long been viewed as one of the biggest steals in the 2023 NHL Draft after he somehow fell to the Blueshirts at the 23rd overall pick -- quickly rising through the ranks to establish himself as a top prospect in the sport. Perreault dominated at World Juniors to help Team USA secure back-to-back gold medals, and he shined during his two years with the BC Eagles -- finishing second among NCAA skaters with 73 assists and third with 108 points. He was named a Hockey East First-Team All-Star this past season and was also a finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, which is presented to the NCAA's top mens hockey player each year. The youngster is joining the Rangers at the perfect time, as they've been struggling of late but they still find themselves tied with the Montreal Canadiens for the second Eastern Conference Wild Card spot with just eight games left.
