Ken Dryden had the stones to at least deal with the Maple Leaf Gardens sex scandal case. He made sure that the perverts coercing the teenagers with free hockey tickets, then sexually assaulting them, came to light. For that, he has my utmost respect.
He was absolutely, 100%, a good man who was never afraid to do the right thing. A fully agree with you on this. He has my respect as well.
Ken Dryden has died.
R.I.P.
Always sad to see someone go the way he did, at least he was at home.

Anyways to all the Marner lovers out there please keep this in mind. Playing in Toronto is about more than talent. You need the social capability to handle it as well. Both in positive and negative manners you will be bombarded by the media, the fanbase, by haters, by lovers, by attention seekers, by people who think they know more than the people who run the team, etc etc etc… and quite frankly Marner is simply too much of a whiner to handle it. Yes, he’s a very good player, but no, he’s not a strong enough individual to handle playing for The Leafs and it always showed. Ffs I remember that he could barely handle playing for The Knights here in London, and after The Leafs drafted him I always hoped he’d grow out of it, and if he did grow a bit, it was not far enough to handle playing in Toronto. So as I’ve said, best of luck to him in his new location.
Another dumbass take. Berube loved Marner. If anybody didn’t fit the mold for Berube, it was Tavares and Nylander, both huge defensive liabilities who suck at back checking and can’t be trusted defensively nor kill penalties. Berube distrusted Marner so much that Marner led the team in playoff ice time among all forwards at 5v5, PK, PP and total ice time.
I don’t give a shit about what you say, he lead ice time because he was used on the PK because Berube’s didn’t have the significant depth guys he needed. Truth is Berube likes north/south hockey with physical play and Marner is neither.
I think Marner wants closure and closure with the media.
Its Toronto, its Marner, he was with the leafs for 9 years. These interviews are going to happen…..he’s just not very good at giving them.
Anywho.
Moving on….lets go whatever 2nd to mostly 3rd liners we got with Marners money!
They didnt win anything with him….so it cant be too much worse.
Go Leafs Go!Good. The leafs had too many top six guys anyways and not enough character. The end. They had to give up the star that didn’t match the new coach and they did. Berube’s game is north/south skating and/or physical play, Marner is neither. Best of luck to him but he no longer fit what the team wants to do.
Marner would be terrible at poker, Vegas may have been a brutal choice. Wish him the best all the same.
Go Leafs Go ????
Glad that whiner is gone.

Good ol’ Marner, he always had an issue with Erie as a Knight, there was that time where he needed his “break” and then don’t forget his last game for London was losing to the Otters lol
Won’t let me quote or reply either but not sure what you’re saying.
Draisaitl 96 games, 52 goals, 141 points.
Marner 70 games, 13 goals,63 points.
One deserves premium top dollar one doesn’t. One has earned it, one hasn’t when it counts.
None of use would care what Marner is making if he put up the Draisaitl stats and got us to 2 cup finals whom 99% of leafs nation as never seen this team get to. Our heroes we’ve watched got to the 3rd round what.. 3 times in ours lives 0 finals appearances.
Its my opinion, which isnt worth a pair of nuts on a mouse, but we wouldn’t be bickering cap issues of our top players if they performed like the top players on teams winning cups or going deep consistently.
Part of me is wondering as well if Marner sees himself as the next C in Vegas… I have no reason why, it’s just a curiousity.
A desirable place to live with his family while leading a team versus being just the A in a viscous and most intense hockey crazed city. I can understand his choice but I’m glad it’s made and that he is gone, that guy is not a leaf.
And I should add real quick that yes I think Draisaitl is worth it in every way shape and form and I’m glad he chose a Canadian team to continue playing on and that yes he’s way the fuck better than Marner.
