Assistant to the Regional Manager Sundin was on Sportsnet and keeps repeating the same shit about “being in a great locker room that knows what it means to win” type lines. Sorry Mats, you were a great Leafs player but you were never in a locker room full of winners in the NHL. Yes, a couple of guys passed through the Leafs locker room at the trade deadlines but ultimately, the teams Sundin was a part of lost in the Conference Finals, at best. The only thing those teams knew how to do consistently was beat Ottawa. After that, the true contenders usually knew how to put the Leafs down having lost to teams New Jersey, Buffalo, Carolina when it mattered most. Is that the new goal here? Just playoff runs that don’t go anywhere and watching other teams win the Cup? Because that’s effectively what the Leafs have already been doing by losing to Cup contenders like Boston, Florida and Tampa Bay multiple times except they lost in the 1st round instead of the Conference Finals because of the playoff format.
And Chayka just called Morgan Rielly a great defenseman. He’s fucking disqualified.
