ParticipantSo pathetic. You were so sure bringing up Sullivan would do nothing for the PP, but here we are since at #3. So quit being a fucking baby. You were so fucking wrong. Just admit it. Been cooking without Matthews too.
Pathetic is your inability to accept the facts. Sullivan is not in charge of 100% of the PP for the Leafs. When he was in charge of the PP in the AHL, it sucked balls.
By your retarded logic of “cooking without Matthews” it suggests the Leafs PP would be better off without Matthews which is obviously retarded.
What you can admit to being wrong about however is how this team has been complete dogshit without Marner. Just admit it. You were so fucking wrong.
You need a class in reading comprehension cuck. Maybe some anger management help at the same time.
PP was already doing well with Matthews (since they brought in Sullivan). They have continued to do so even without him. So good job Steve!!!!. I don’t care how many are helping Steve. The point is you were so sure it was wrong to bring hm up and that the power play would fail because of him. Oh well just so I am clear. The power play has flourished. 3rd in the league is fucking excellent, elite, amazing….. not just normal addition by subtraction ya fucking wank. Also it is clearly obvious you will attempt to shift the goal posts and talk about how the Leafs have sucked even after adding Sulivan. This is not what your original comments about Steve were. They were all about how he sucked as a scorer in the NHL so he couldn’t help the Leafs power play. Well the stats do not lie. He did, again 3rd in the NHL is not addition by subtraction. Looking forward to your 5 paragraph goal post shift. I mean 4 if you eliminate the name calling LOL

ParticipantAnnouncers said last night the PP was third in the league since Steve Sullivan started running it. They must not do research.
Steve Sullivan is not running the PP by himself dipshit. Since he was hired, the PP has been done by committee, which means, at best, he’s running 33.3% of it. His PP on the Marlies was piss poor when he was running it solo. With the Leafs, he hasn’t been the sole reason for improvement. As I’ve told you numerous times, and you’re too retarded to understand it, the Leafs PP improvement is an addition by subtraction. By removing Savard, the Leafs immediately improved, regardless of who replaced him.
Also, while the Leafs PP% has been strong, their total PP goals is middle of the pack. If you’ve been watching the games, you’ll realize there are long stretches of games where the Leafs PP gets nothing. Then they have a big game like vs Anaheim because they decided to be motivated for one game. Then disappear again. Much like the rest of this team, the Leafs PP has been wickedly disjointed and inconsistent. A lot of the time, they’re scoring PP goals because of individual efforts and dumb luck and not because their system actually works. In short, it’s unsustainable and like the rest of the team, needs a major overhaul.
So pathetic. You were so sure bringing up Sullivan would do nothing for the PP, but here we are since at #3. So quit being a fucking baby. You were so fucking wrong. Just admit it. Been cooking without Matthews too.

ParticipantKeith Pelley is retarded. He thinks this team has a good foundation, plans to retool and thinks these guys can contend soon.
This franchise is fucked when these guys all walk as UFAs, leaving this franchise with nothing.
Another goal post shift. He said he prefers a retool to a rebuild.
ribs1909
ParticipantIts 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.
Wrong. Tavares destroyed this team with his first contract. His latest contract saves cap space but his play on the ice hurts the team just like his dog shit display in the playoffs year after year hurt the team. -25 is a fact. He has always sucked defensively and his inability to play at both ends of the ice is a big reason why this team lost games and missed the playoffs. He could play for free and he would still lose games for this team.
Lack of heart comes from leadership which includes Tavares. You want to talk soft? Tavares is soft. Nylander is soft. Matthews is soft. Injuries is a bullshit excuse, Vegas has way more injuries than the Leafs. The Leafs had plenty of injuries last year and they were still 1st in the division. Matthews was playing at 50% and Marner carried the team.
No matter how much you want to lie to yourself, reality is reality; Marner quitting on his team.
ribs1909
ParticipantSo maybe Vegas should have spent the Marner money on a goalie?

ParticipantWe can argue with one another until eternity arrives. The big takeaway has to do with trying to win a Cup and overpaying for retread talent. We gave Treliving a chance to make the moves that Dubas couldn’t and he squandered too much of our farm system and draft capital. It was Dubas that made the mess by overpaying players on their future production and when they failed to deliver, the team was boxed in with overvalued contracts. I don’t like the idea of having a total rebuild but we may have no choice. Tavares isn’t getting any younger. Rielly is burnt toast and needs to be sent to another team or Robidas Island. Our only true assets are in goal. Our defense is old, but can still defend when healthy, but our forwards are the drag on this team. Matthews and Nylander are only a couple of years away from their 30’s and the team must cash out on them. If the deals can be done for younger talent and draft picks, they have to trade them. Yes, it will hurt, but doing a 15 year rebuild like Buffalo will be devastating. I won’t live long enough to see them win one more Cup. I keep hounding on bringing in the Hunter’s, but we’ve tried other routes and it’s been dismal. At least the Hunter’s never played in Toronto and their success in Junior Hockey, with the Knights, should be a breath of fresh air. I’d love to see McKenna as a Leaf, because he’s talented and has leadership skills that do not exist on today’s Leafs. We’re stuck with Tavares and Knies is the only bonafide young player that we have right now. Cowan is good, but is he a top line forward? I say no, but he could be a good second line winger. After that, Danford is the only NHL calibre player we have in the system. It’s a sinkhole right now with this team. Nylander and Matthews being traded will be the only salvation that this team can hope for, if they make the right trades. Mark Hunter….you’re on the clock is what we should hear at this year’s draft.
No doubt Dale Hunter is an excellent coach. Even in down years his London Knight teams show discipline in playing their system and the players stick up for each other. I do have my doubts he would entertain the thought of coaching the Leafs.
– He is 65 years old and only about 150 wins away from being the all time win leader in the CHL. I strongly believe that besides championships that is his main hockey goal
– He coached in the NHL for a part season and was very successful yet left to go back to the team he owns. I do not think he really cares about coaching in the NHL because he has never attempted to return.
– At his age why take on a rebuild, when he can chase a record that may never be matched againribs1909
ParticipantBut not points per game. Anyone else notice that Vegas only has 2 more regulation wins than the Leafs. Only 2 and they get to play all those bottom feeders in the West on a regular basis.
Did retard notice the Leafs also lost a lot of points to trash teams? You’re bitching that VGK plays bottom feeders, meanwhile the Leafs, played plenty of bad teams they could and should have beat.
Here’s a list of losses to current non-playoff teams.
NJD, CBJ, SEA, CHI, CBJ, WSH, SJS, WSH, NSH, SEA, FLA, OTT, PHI, NJD and NYR.
They also lost to VGK twice and since they’re “only” in the playoffs because they play weak teams so we’ll include them in the list.
Now imagine a Leafs team that wins those games. That’s 17 games they lost against “bad” teams. Even if they won only 10 of those games (or gained 20 points), that’s the difference between being dead last in the division and being 1st in the division.
Just a reminder, Marner had 7 GWGs last year. That’s not even his primary skill. He probably had at least another 7 GWG assists. It’s too bad retards in the fanbase, the media and management ran him out the door. Growing up I always heard stories about how Harold Ballard ruined the franchise. If it wasn’t for him, they’d have won more Cups was the story. Turns out, different owners, same fans, same results.
Rattled y9ou so badly you had to comment twice on a 1 line sentence. Didn’t you recently say that it was bullshit that it was harder to play in Toronto? Make up your mind bitch. Try to stick to the actual exact working in the post rather than your angry little man syndrome deranged interpretation of it. Enjoy the game tonight!!!!

ParticipantSubtract Marner, add Sullivan and it improved. So Stevie even made up for the loss of PP and 3 on 3 overtime specialist MM
Marner would be #1 on the Leafs in assists, PP points and total points. Matthews also wouldn’t have a career worst 27 goals and 53 points either.
So congrats, you’ve won retard of the week.

ParticipantAnd AGAIN, too retarded to realize that the addition by subtraction (getting rid of Savard) is the real reason for the increase in production (and yet still losing games like crazy). Reality is, 66% of the PP being run by Berube and Lalonde with Steve Sullivan there to go on Tims runs.
Did you know the Marlies PP was operating at a 16% (22nd in the AHL) clip before he was hired? That’s not promoting somebody because of great success. That’s just calling up the next warm body. That’s why he wasn’t given full control of the PP; because he wasn’t qualified to actually run it and improve it. Credit to Berube and Lalonde for simplifying the PP but that’s, once again, eliminating the real source of the problem which was Savard.
Technically, Savard ran the 9th best PP in 2025 but the Leafs had elite talent that was scoring in spite of his stupid PP setup, not because of it which is why when things got tough in the playoffs, their PP looked useless (and failed to adjust) vs. Florida with only one PP goal the entire series. Much like how the Leafs PP is scoring now that the games don’t matter and will miss the playoffs. The “improved” Leafs PP is so powerful that it got a 60+ goal scorer that couldn’t score a PP goal for 10+ games. Not exactly utilizing their best weapon to it’s maximum potential.
Give Sullivan an acknowledgment that he is doing better job than the person he replaced for a green NHL coach.
Your hate is blinding you because you did not like who the Leafs choose to replace the PP coach.
Actually, the only time I’ve seen you happy here is when Roy got traded.carry on[/quote]
I think you killed his brain. One of the biggest goal post shifts of all time. Who cares how successful your PP is if the top players are not getting enough goals. Not to mention some of those goal totals have to do with the Leafs getting the least amount of PP in the league. I guess Stevie ain’t doing a good enough job showing them how to take dives. LOL
ribs1909
ParticipantGuess who said all these dumb things.
Hint the guy went on and on and on about how Sullivan hire was stupid and wont help the PP, but now that the Leafs have a top 6 power play over a period of 3 months Sullivan has nothing to do with it. LOL. Change the argument or shift the goal posts much?
“Lol Steve Sullivan, was Gary Valk busy?”
“Steve Sullivan had 75 career PPG goals in over 1000 NHL games.
William Nylander has 77 career PPG goals in 718 games. Matthews has 107 career PPG. Tavares has 157.
Just let Nylander be the PP coach while he’s on the LTIR.
Steve Sullivan can be Nick Robertson’s personal coach so he can teach him how to survive 1000+ NHL games being a midget.”
“I am going to guess that hiring a guy who has zero NHL coaching experience is probably going to end as poorly as it did last time when they hired a guy with very little NHL experience and even less NHL success.”
“The Leafs are doing what they always do; hire the most mediocre people to do the most important jobs. It’s no wonder they get mediocre results.”

ParticipantAnybody see that the Leafs PP is 6th in the NHL since Stevie Sullivan got called up to the coaching staff. That does not even count the 2 goals tonight.

Anybody else too retarded to realize that the Leafs PP has improved because of addition by subtraction and that Steve Sullivan is only 33% of the committee that runs the PP or is it just you?
Not surprised with all the BS you spew that you forget that when the move was made you were adament the PP was not going to work WOOOOOO.
