As much as you use the word retard it’s amazing how much of it you continue to have left in you. The other day you were crapping all over the Sullivan hiring and how he didn’t score enough PP goals during his NHL career to get any of the Leafs’ star players to listen to him. Lots of season left, but so far so good
Triggered retard?
I have been busy with World Juniors. Have the Maple Leafs lost in regulation since hiring Sullivan?
Again, I was the first to say the Leafs PP was the difference between being in last place and 1st place. The firing of Savard will yield improvement by subtraction, that’s how useless and retarded Savard was. Again, another thing I predicted years ago.
As for Sullivan, it’s already been stated that the Leafs PP is now by “committee” so for him to get all the credit would be your usual retarded interpretation. He’s done next to nothing other than scrap Savard’s idiotic scheme. Again, addition by subtraction.
Leafs still in a far off spot and a long, long way to go before they’re anywhere near playing like they’re supposed to play to be a serious contender.
So, are y’all gonna make the playoffs?
Buffalo won 10 in a row and is barely in the playoffs. The Leafs would have to become a completely new and different team to make it.
And even if they made it, a 1st round anal destruction is most likely.
Can we get more of the goal-scoring version of Matthews please.
But less of the being down 4-1 and then barely winning 6-5 to the worst team in the league with their back-up in net.
I’m BITCHING 👎
Indeed you are.
This is how Team Canada should have been.
Point has been playing terrible (not even top 50 in points, only 6 goals) and should be cut. Suzuki isn’t good enough offensively to be a top-six center (very difficult to supplant McDavid, Crosby, MacKinnon etc.) and defensively, isn’t exactly a big, strong, shutdown PKer. Bringing those two are the biggest mistakes up front. Bennett should be there, he’s a big game performer and Bedard is electric if he has two stable guys beside him who can cover for his defensive shortfall which Horvat and Stone could do easily. Bedard on a 3rd line is like a secret weapon you can punish teams with less depth.
Celebrini | McDavid | Marner
Marchand | Crosby | MacKinnon
Bedard | Horvat | Stone
Bennett | Cirelli | WilsonEX: Hagel | Reinhart
Chychrun and Bouchard should be on the team in some capacity. Chychrun has 15 goals half way through the season. That is a PP weapon that absolutely helps you win tight games. Bouchard is a problem defensively but he’s such a weapon on the PP that in a tight game, you could use that to be a difference maker. If he played beside a stable partner like Theodore, he’d be a weapon. Both guys, plus Makar and possibly Schaefer, give you 4 guys who can bust a game open on special teams. Parayko is solid defensively but he has 0 goals this season. You have to replace his booming shot on the PP with guys that are getting results.
*Toews | Makar
Chychrun | Parayko
Theodore | DoughtyEX: Schaefer | Bouchard
*Add Sanheim to the 3rd pair if Toews can’t make it, Theodore goes to the top pair. Schaefer and Bouchard slot in vs weaker teams to attack them.
Thompson is playing like a Vezina goalie, he wins the net on the opening game, but any one of these three could become a starter. All three have won a Cup in some capacity and Binnington, as bad as he has been on a bad team, can step up big when it matters.
Thompson | Binnington | Kuemper
(Posted December 18th – feel like posting again. Another reason why nobody should listen to the Scissor Sisters. They don’t understand the game.
Like everyone else – Absolutely no clue how

GO LEAFS GO!!
Go Hall of Fame Players Go!!
Go Positive Go!!Peace I’m outta this place!!
Good luck Leafs/Canada Fans!! Go fuck a dick UG/AA you shitty little fucks in your parents basement apartment.
UG – a special keep getting fucked for you and your cuck-like pussy attitude or rolling over calling USA the greatest and shutting in Canada – you little wimpy shithead.
AA – when they say the lake isn’t safe for fishing or not frozen solid yet – don’t believe them! Head out to the centre…and it’s Centre not center cause I’m not a retarded homo like your lesbo/trans lover UG
looks like we will not see Tanev on the ice for theLeafs for a while with recent groin injury.
Muzzin Manor on Robidas Island.
Same player, same ending.
Haters can choke on his Wollnuts 💙
Until his Wollnuts get cracked and he’s out for 6-8 weeks.
I’ve always liked Woll as a goalie but until he can stay on the ice for an entire season, he’ll always be a liability as your “starter”.
Between him and Stolarz, it just feels like they’re both back-ups filling in until the previous guy gets back from injury.
Ask yourself, how many games have BOTH Stolarz and Woll been on the ice as starter and back-up to each other? I’d wager very few out of the total possible games. Probably less than 40%.
Cirelli and Stone wtf
Bennett off
Fire ArmstrongYes indeed, they both deserve it because they role the play will be important. Cirelli is a shutdown center, his offense is irrelevant but he still has more points than Point (more on that later). Stone doesn’t have to score either, he just needs to steal pucks and be a solid two-way role player. He can play anywhere in the line-up, on the PP, on the PK; literally a Swiss army knife.
Unfortunately, because Cooper is the coach, his pets Hagel and Point are on the team even though they haven’t been playing the best. Bedard has been better than both of them and a much harder player to stop or contain. His injury, apparently, had nothing to do with his omission so they’re just stupid. Hagel hasn’t been so bad this year but Point isn’t even in the top 50 in scoring with a pathetic 6 goals and 21 points and -5 in 31 games. Even Scheifele, Johnston, Tavares, Stamkos, Kadri, ROR, RNH, Bennett, Jarvis, Thomas and Hyman have more points. That’s pretty bad. Point should have been cut on merit and now he’ll have to prove that he’s the 50 goal, playoff beast he was 4 years ago and not the garbage he’s been playing like this year.
Not a huge fan of Suzuki either. His points are fine but he’s going to be the 3C so his FO% is a bit low and he’s not the biggest or strongest guy up the middle. He doesn’t really play on the PK either. I would have definitely left him off the team, made Horvat the 3C and bring in Bennett. That’s the biggest mistake by far. Canada was afraid to bring too many guys who take penalties but Bennett is a winner, he was worth that risk.
The D is mostly as expected, they didn’t roll the dice with Schaefer, which is disappointing because he’s way better suited for this tournament than Sanheim. They also snubbed Chychrun which is disappointing because he has 15 goals in 39 games, #1 in goals among defenders and he’s got no spot. Josh Morrissey should have been left at home because he’s not really the best at any role on this team.
The goalies, they got right. Canada has an obvious weakness in net but Thompson has been playing like a Vezina candidate so hopefully he’s the starter and that continues. Binnington made the team on history but he’s proven that when everything is on the line, he can play way better than expected. Kuemper makes sense as the 3rd string goalie or as a starter too. I think I’m okay with him in any role with how he’s been playing. All three guys have a Stanley Cup in various roles so while Canada won’t have the absolute best goaltending in the tournament, they will have competent goaltending. With the team in front of them, they won’t have to steal many games, they just have to not lose you the game.
