UG is here with his “Leafs are crashing” pouting again.
The guy is just a Canadian player fan and it’s pretty fucking obvious. Look at Clark and Gilmour on his pic. If Marner was on the team when those two were Mitch would have had his ass beat in the dressing room routinely playing like the whiny ass little pussy that he is.
Argument, wrecked.
That might be the end result, but right now I think he has done a good job. We’ll have to see what he can do to get around some of his and the previous regimes moves.
It almost certainly is the end result because this is the Leafs. He’s done a mostly terrible job. The fact that he has to get around stupid shit he did himself is already disqualifying.
Treliving was an assistant GM in Phoenix for almost 7 years. What the fuck did Phoenix ever do that was great because of him? He turned that into being GM of the Flames for 9 years. Ran that team into the ground. 16 years of futility and mediocrity turned into being the puppet GM for Shanahan.
This guy, ain’t the guy to turn this team into a Cup winner.
I’m going to write about Treliving’s first year as GM, and how most of the moves were bad……Reaves was the worst.
Treliving is going to destroy this team the same way he left Calgary in shambles.
Start preparing your draft rankings for 2028 (if the Leafs don’t trade that pick too) because the next rebuild is around the corner. This team is just starting to circle the drain.
The gall of this overpaid broken down plug that wouldn’t even fight in his final year to say “it wasn’t a good fit, fans turn on you fast.” Fuck off you Winterpeg loser. We were turned off the second you got three years at 35 when everybody in the league knew you were done and hoped you were a “vibes” guy. Ah yes, the “vibes.” The magical ingredient to making the teams best players play well when it counts. Enjoy your millions in the sun.
That’s not entirely true. A lot of dummy Leafs fans, the same ones who are happy with what the Leafs are doing right now, were very happy about Reaves signing.
Reaves dumped to SJ for Thrun.
Only good move Leafs have made all year. Hope the ink is dry and the trade call went through; Leafs still got their 2028 1st round pick and it’s burning a hole in their pocket.
Lol what a pathetic thing to think is a snappy comeback, ya you really nailed me.
JFC are you ever pathetic.
A “snappy comeback” is lost on you. It’s unnecessary. You are what you are: a sheep.
Wrong. He left and you are crying like Mitch was crying on the bench because Willy had to tell him to sack the fuck up and stop whining.
Just stop with your constant barrage of bullshit about this being on anyone other than Marner and his daddy.
Go cheer for Vegas and bitch and whine about that team to their fans and GTFO out of here – nobody wants you here you loser.
Typical sheep reply.
He left on his own accord. No one ran him out of town. Stop telling false hood
Wrong. Team refused to pay him what he’s worth, media (that owns the team) ran with a bullshit narrative and the fans ran him out of town.
The only falsehood here is the idea that this team is or will be better without him.
Its july 9th time to panic
Yes, you’re right, all those superstar 100 point free agents are just lining up to sign with the Leafs on July 9th.
And if that doesn’t work, they got a lot of elite prospects and 1st round picks ready to dominate the league or to trade for more help.
The Florida Panthers are absolutely fucked and shaking in their boots thinking about the revenge of the Leafs.
Exchange rate is a non-issue. Nobody spends $5M per year on groceries and the cost of most goods is increased in Canada to reflect the weaker dollar. A Rover ain’t cheaper in Canada. If it’s 100k in USD it’ll be $140k CAD. So USD for athletes living here doesn’t translate into cheaper living. Money, Winning, Lifestyle.
You nailed it. Weather is probably a factor too and most of the no income tax states have way better weather than Toronto too.
When a franchise like Toronto runs it’s own home town guys out of town, they truly have no hope of building a competitive team. They’ll get the guys like Tavares, who people will love, but win nothing.
Bye Leafs chances at winning a Cup.
shoot, they were so close over the last 10 years with Mitch
Closer to beating Florida than anybody else got last year. Definitely a lot closer than they will be with this dog shit excuse for a team they got now.
Hopefully the 2nd/3rd/4th liners we replaced him with, improve our depth and depth scoring.
What improved depth? Doesn’t exist.
Marner also had 1 goal against Florida
Also 1 assist total games 4-7More than Kucherov, same as Matthews and McDavid. In on 3 GWG goals vs. Florida though.
not that it matters since Mitch was not going to re-sign any way, but for 14 mil or whatever people think it would have taken, its not worth it.
For a PP guy, he went 29 playoff games in a row without scoring a PP goal.He is worth every penny. He’s a PP playmaker. Not his fault Matthews can’t hit the side of a barn in the playoffs. Also not his fault that Matthews didn’t bench himself during the 4 Nations (or after) to heal for the playoffs. But it’s always easier to blame Mitch for the faults of others. It’s the retard Leafs fan way.
Bye Mitch
Bye Leafs chances at winning a Cup.
Too much tax talk, but also much better than usual in here! <thumbsup>
How ’bout a serious discussion on the two/three elements left for the Leafs to crush it next season:
Knies, Matthews, ??? (Domi)
???, Tavares, Nylander
McMann, Roy, Marcelli/Domi
Lorentz, Laughton, PezzMcCabe, Tanev
???, Carlo
Benoit, OEL
MyersStolarz
Woll1RW = ? (Domi IMO)
2LW = ?
3/4LD = ?I kinda believe if Leafs can dump Rielly and upgrade that LD position, the Leafs’ D is solid as fuck. Better than it’s been in a long, long, time. (If Rielly stays it will still survive, the D was the least of our problems last season). So who is a skull crushing LD the Leafs could trade for???
I think the forward group is only a 2LW away from solid but you could make the argument for a 1RW, P Kane would’ve been so good there…Domi or Marccelli(sp?) can fill that role well enough…I’m feeling Domi will do really well there. So who is the 2LW???
I’m pretty sure Maccelli was gotten to be in the top-6 as a Marner-lite replacement. I think Treliving is looking for another top-6 forward but if he fails, my suspicion is that Domi gets that look. Then he should still be seeking to bolster that third line with a properly complimentary checking forward.
With Rielly . . .the simple way I look it is that the problem with defenseman who can’t play defense is always that they can’t play defense. But how much are they giving you in that trade off? Like Jake Gardiner had one year where the trade off was wonderful (I think he was third pairing with Carrick or something like that) – but most other years were absolutely terrible. In the end it wasn’t a trade off anyone wanted to be making.
You take a guy like Bouchard and look at his xG with a star partner like Ekholm and you can see that his xGF and xGA differential was 3.26 – 2.22; when he was with Kulak it was 2.95 – 2.17. Bouchard is exceptionally offensive with poor defensive skills – and he is very puck reliant (ie, if he has the puck he’s pretty good, but without it, we see how bad he is).
Now compare that to Rielly with Carlo and you see 2.91 – 2.07, which is very similar to Bouchard with Kulak. Rielly with Tanev was 2.77 – 1.92 which makes sense when you consider that Tanev is more defensive but less offensive. It would be great if we had a guy like Ekholm, but that was definitely Ken Holland’s masterpiece in Edmonton. It was a brilliant trade.
It’s something we know, but if you had just guys like Tanev, for instance – lots of blocked shots, lots of closed lanes but not a ton of puck retrieval or zone exit passes. Guys like Morgan Rielly – as much as he drives me crazy, too, are a necessary evil. So you insulate them with a guy like Carlo and I think you can potentially maximize their value.
I say this because I have to remind myself of this all the time. Morgan Rielly drives me fucking crazy.
Maccelli will work in the top-six just about as well as Kerfoot did. Same goes for Domi. These guys are barely top-six players, much, much less actually good ones. And defensively, they’re both useless.
We’re talking about two guys, whose combined goal total, was only 1 more than Robertson.
If the Leafs end the season with either Domi or Maccelli in the top-six, they won’t win a series.
No, he clearly wasn’t as he had more career playoff points than everybody on the team, including Tavares who is 7 years older.
I dont know who he meant with that. AM has to look in the Mirror as well, but its going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
i wouldnt say good riddance, more like it was time to try a different approach. in the NHL the playoffs are a very different game and you cant play soft dipsy doodling hockey like Mitch does. it works a bit but good teams squish you like bug in the important games
Must be why Marner was involved in winning 3 games against Florida. Funny because Kucherov, McDavid and Matthews each had 1 or less goal vs. Florida. But Marner’s the one who can’t play well in the playoffs though…
I read the Leafs may have a hand shake deal in place with Roslovic. The Leafs would like to move a body or two before bring him in to the team.
Don’t forget they have Robertson as well to deal with.Isn’t he terrible defensively? I’m not as worried about the offense from our forward group, we need at least some defensive forwards. Matthews and Knies are fine, but JT, Nylander, Robertson, MM, Domi, Robertson, etc. are pretty terrible. People (myself included) kinda want to move on from Kampf and Jarny, but if you replace them with purely offensive forwards, this team is in for a world of hurt.
Leafs will absolutely suck defensively in the playoffs with more additions like Roslovic. Berube is the polar opposite coach for that garbage. The Leafs are completely retarded in how they build teams.
