leafs can play musical chairs with management and coaching all they want, but the rot starts at the top with mlse and pelley. after this debacle of a season, the questions need to be directed at the top. run it back, run it back, run it back, run it back, throw away money, hand out no trade clauses like candy, buy high sell low, scapegoating then trading marner for gimps and peanuts. thats not on berube or his assistants or the players. thats on ownership for letting this shit happen while they stack profits on a system optimized to make losing profitable. its a goddamm shitshow at the top. at this rate, i wont live long enough to witness the leafs finally win a cup or even make it to the semis. jesus fucking christ, are we supposed to cheer for ottawa or edmonton? i don’t know. just wanted to yell about it.

Pelley hasn’t been here for most of the above but he doesnt exude confidence in knowing what he is doing. Time will tell.
Ya previous managements have really screwed teh team but so have the current players.
Marner and Matthews have proven to not be players you build a team around, but no one knew that 9 years ago. The biggest error was having half the cap in 4 soft forwards and then of course the cap not rising as expected. Matthews and Marner should not have been giving cap hits over $10m for their first extension…they simply hadn’t earned it.
But when you print money cause the fans go no matter what, you dont have to pay attention to details, you can throw money around expecting it to fix things. Fans gotta stop going. I did years ago, I’ve completely lost interest in this team, they’ve been a joke for half a century.
Hopefully things change…..I’ve said for years on the old site and this one, you simply cannot “go for it” every year. You cannot trade away first rounders like they are nothing. Which the leafs have. The only good 1st rounder trades (trading away) the leafs have made in the past decade or so was for Muzzin, the one for Mccabe and Lafferty.

But no screw ottawa….never cheer for them
Edmonton is my 2nd fav team, so I do cheer for them.

Great game by Edmonton, of course, Kapanen with 2 goals. Too shit for Toronto though.

Anaheim is going to be dangerous one day but they play too loose vs a team like Edmonton. Coach Q will fix it. Another guy who the Leafs can’t hire, of course.

I knew after Kap finally had a good playoff game that someone would post some stupidity about Toronto letting him go 6 YEARS AGO!!
Nevermind Pitts and St louis

Ya the Leafs have really missed his 14 to 30 pts every year since.
Kap had a good game, good for him.

Well at least the Oilers dont have to eliminate the kings again this year.

the jays are 22 games into the Season, thats the equivalent of 11 games for the Leafs season, so if it were the leafs I would think its also pretty early in the season.

The bullpen isnt shit…if you pay attention to more than the jays

Some Bullpen stats

K/9 Jays are 4th 10.20
ERA 22nd
xERA 11th
FIP 12th
xFIP #1 3.14 (very good)
WAR 12th

when the FIP is much lower than ERA thats a good sign things are going to get better and even out.
I hadnt look at the stats yet and thats encouraging.

Varland has been wicked
Varland, Fisher and Rogers have a combined era of like .50 in 34 innings

Varland is awesome. Great trade.
Ya the bullpen looks really good, the hoff is unreliable at times.

Only April, still early.
The hitting really has to improve though.

imo the biggest factor to the Leafs not being able to get shit over the finish line is the cap only going up 3 million from 2019-2023
They loaded up on 4 players and the cap went stagnant and they couldnt fill in the gaps enough with cheaper players.

Also never moving away from Rielly as the #1 or finding a true #1
fine player but never a true #1

The main issue was overpaying the 3 players. Willie should have been signed for 5.5 – 6. Marner 8 max and matthews 9 max. Had dubas not caved, the leafs would have had more money to build a better team.
Also thinking marner and matthews were going to lead thus team anywhere was also a mistep.
They really needed a real number 1 D as well.

Just lose.
Dont leaf it ffs.

Another retard blaming Marner because he’s a retard.

LOL What a loser

64pts for $4.3m per still a great deal.

Projecting your own pedo thoughts onto others? Disgusting. Seek help.

Great deal and almost a lottery team. Always a great deal when you go from 1st to last. Those savings had such a wonderful impact.

Fucking retard.[/quote]

Such a sensitive little women hating pedo.
Its not JTs fault the results of the team. Bad coaching, bad trades, lack of heart and too many injuries. Even with soft marner the results would be pretty much the same.

I didnt blame marner for vegas’ results. Youre reading into that.

Another coach for marner.
For the first time in vegas’s history they may miss the playoffs.
Weird.

EF said the leafs may be interested in Mike Gillis and/or Doug armstrong.
Avoid Gillis like the plague.
Not really interested in Armstrong….leafs stealing GM’s from other teams hasnt really worked out for them. Plus Im not sure Armstrong would want a full rebuild if they needed one in a year or so.

Maybe Pridham as GM? Armstrong as President if they are so intent on looking at Armstrong
But Berube has to go.

Apparently the trade for knies was:

Knies and stolarz
for
Dach, Guhle, Reinbacher and Montembeault.
