Literally, at this point, why not just put Morgan on the fucking wing?!? Worst contract imaginable, and he isn’t going anywhere.
Legit, I move Matthews. He’s probably walking after the media inexplicably turned on him, simply for being a proud American. He’d get a haul. Willy isn’t waiving. JT is not going anywhere. You gotta do something to change the culture on this team.
If Matthews is traded, all the rats flee the sinking ship including Nylander and Tavares. Everyone will waive because nobody wants to play on a losing team in the twilight of their career.
And the Leafs would get a giant haul of draft picks and prospects to ignite the rebuild.
Problem is you have to fire Treliving to get the job done properly and it looks like Pelley is also a retard who might impede a proper rebuild.
DeBoer will get a lot more out of this team offensively but he’s the most Leafy coach out there. He’s the guy that goes to the Finals and loses. Every. Single. Time. Either the Conference Finals or the Cup Finals. On Team Canada? Silver. He is the master runner up coach.
He’s perfect for what the idiots in the board room wants though.
In addition to this, DeBoer was also drafted by the Leafs, 237th overall in the 1988 draft; one of the worst draft years for the Leafs in terms of missed opportunities.
Look at this disaster of a draft by Gord Stellick, a legendary retard of failed Leafs GMs. He was Dubas before Dubas.
Leafs draft Scott Pearson 6th overall, before…Martin Gelinas, Jeremy Roenick, Rod Brind’Amour, Teemu Selanne all going 7th to 10th. Franchise destroying bad pick.
Leafs draft Tie Domi 27th overall. Probably the only good pick in 1988 for the Leafs.
Leafs draft Peter Ing 48th overall. Mark Recchi and Tony Amonte went 67th and 68th.
Leafs draft Ted Crowley 69th overall. Rob Blake went 70th overall.
Leafs draft Len Esau 86th overall. Alexander Mogilny went 89th overall.1989 was just as bad when the Leafs took three 1st round picks at 3rd, 12th and 21st overall and selected Scott Thornton, Rob Pearson and Steve Bancroft with players like Bill Guerin taken 5th, Bobby Holik taken 10th, Olaf Kolzig taken 19th and Adam Foote taken 22nd.
Imagine the 1992/1993 run if the Leafs knew how to draft prior to bringing in Gilmour and Andreychuck…
Clark | Gilmour | Mogilny
Andreychuck | Roenick | Recchi
Osborne | Holik | Foligno
Berg | Zezel | DomiGill | Blake
Ellett | Foote
Macoun | RousePotvin | Kolzig
What a difference two drafts (even one) can make because that’s a Cup winner at worst, a dynasty at best right there.
But anyway, of course DeBoer was traded in 1989 for Paul Lawless (played 13 games for the Leafs) and never played a game for the Leafs or anybody else.
It would become the perfect PR narrative to create of the prodigal hometown son. He’ll tell everybody how all these years he’s been working so that one day he could return to where it all began and bring the Stanley Cup home. They’ll have a picture of him in his Maple Leafs tube socks. Keith Pelley will have a marketing field day. And most retards in this market will buy it hook, line and sinker.
Sell everybody. Draft high, draft often and draft well. Learn from the mistakes of the past.
Yup, they’ll shuffle around a few minor pieces and then come up with a plan in the summer. Biggest piece to move may be OEL, but I hope they keep him.
Berube is done. The team quit on him and he quit on the team. Tre likely not far behind him. Get Deboer behind the bench, not sure who is the GM target.
DeBoer will get a lot more out of this team offensively but he’s the most Leafy coach out there. He’s the guy that goes to the Finals and loses. Every. Single. Time. Either the Conference Finals or the Cup Finals. On Team Canada? Silver. He is the master runner up coach.

The Toronto Star and Damien “sucks” Cox can fuck all the way off. What a bullshit article he wrote, and I 1000% wouldn’t be surprised if that’s another in a long list of things that drives AM34 out of the city. (Coincidentally, I will admit that the fan treatment of Marner is another, although I still 100% think that needed to be done).
Fuck this bullshit that he chose politics over playoffs. The guys just lead his team to Olympic gold for the first time in 40 years, hell yeah he should go to the White House. He didn’t even go to the SOTU, and still played last night. But, bullshit legacy media can’t miss the opportunity to make everything political.
He’s stuck in traditional, corporate, boomer media. The only people who read his slop are elbows up retards. It’s the same retards who watch the CBC. It’s just slop for the boomers because they’re the only people left watching that garbage.
Mad Max is back. Good insurance policy considering Berrios is a wild card, Bieber is already injured, Yesavage is a rookie, Ponce hasn’t played in the MLB in years…so…kind of needed another option if some of the other question marks turn out to be busts.
I think Max is pretty much finished as an elite starter (probably not even average) but what he brings for Yesavage’s development is worth every penny. Max had a lot of things to deal with in his career so if he can impart that wisdom to avoid those speed bumps on Yesavage, it’s a great signing.
Leafs need to win 18 of the remaining games, most of them on the road against stiff competition.
It wasn’t happening before, it’s not happening now.
For what? To play Tampa Bay and get destroyed?
Sell now. Sell hard.
This is where I’m at, 1000%. No politician is in it to improve things. They are ALL in it to enrich/advance themselves. How about we get back to the point where they work for us?
That’s not entirely true. Most politicians, yes, they are there to rape the system. But there is always a lesser of many other evils. This is why parties like Restore Britain are created in the UK and why Trump won two elections. His policies are there to restore the country to what it should be after decades of democrat and war hawk decay.
You will never get back to having the politicians “work for the people” in Chinada because this place is already locked down and compromised by Marxism. Anybody who tries to defy that and pushes back is labeled a fascist. People who hit the streets to protest the draconian lockdowns were shutdown with an unlawful invocation of the Emergencies Act. And none of the people who invoked it were punished. Zero accountability. Instead, regular Canadians were arrested, imprisoned, had their bank accounts frozen and were treated like domestic terrorists because the government runs the media and controls the narrative.
Mitch Marner 17:45 of ice time in the gold medal game.
0 goals, 0 assists, 0 SOG and was even in +/-
I guess the whole narrative about him being Canda’s hero was pure and utter bullshit from losers who simply refuse to acknowledge that Marner isn’t the 2nd coming of Christ on skates.
Most of us were not surprised Marner was a no-show, this is who he is more often than not when the pressure gets heavy and the game does too.
The game was fast and physical & he became the wallflower that he is when the game gets that way.
And to those it applies to you can fuck all the way off with the constant whataboutisms regardless of it’s about the Leafs or Team Canada.
Nobody has shit the bed like Marner when it’s games 5,6 or 7 in a playoff series for nearly a decade when you factor in what he was paid to do by the Leafs vs what he did (or didn’t) do. Now we can add in Gold Medal game – great.
Others have failed miserably from the Leafs core (and from Team Canada) it’s factual and 99% of the Leaf fanbase knows it but nobody to the degree that greedy Mitch did over and over and over again.
Maybe that will change in Vegas, maybe not but let’s also not forget Marner was offered a contract to stay in Toronto and left on his own.
The constant cope claim that Marner left because the big bad media or fans were mean to him is pathetic. IF that’s the case he needs to grow the fuck up, that excuse is almost worse than just wanting to go try playing somewhere new & would make him soft as baby shit on AND OFF the ice.
I’d rather the Leafs miss the playoffs this year and do a re-jig for next year vs have made the playoffs and then got bounced in the 1st round again due to the same soft core led by a few including Marner. Someone had to go – Marner decided on his own it would be him after he veto’d the trade to the Canes it is what it is.
Most sane people knew this year would be a step back for the Leafs, it’s been worse than most predicted as have the Leafs injuries including losing huge chunks of their D core for long periods of time as well as one of their top 2 goalies for long chunks of time.
Game night and I will be cheering for a big Leaf win and a step towards making the playoffs.

McDavid, 0 goals, 0 points, -2. Same for MacKinnon. and Celebrini. And Marchand. And Bennett. But none of these guys disappear. Only Marner. This is your retard logic on full display.
This entire diatribe is full of shit. This idea that “Marner doesn’t show up” in big games is a giant lie from hater retards like yourself trying to soothe yourself of the bad feelings of him finally telling the shitty retard fans of Toronto like you and the idiots that run the franchise to fuck off.
In 5v5 OT vs the USA at the Four Nations, who was feeding McDavid the puck to win the game? Marner. In do or die vs. Finland, who won the game in TO. Marner.
Canada lost the Gold Medal game because MacKinnon can’t hit an open net. Makar also underperformed and threw the game away in OT with an idiotic pinch and lazy back check. Celebrini, as good as he was early in the tournament, misfired in the end. Cooper refused to create a different enough combination of players when things were clearly not working as planned.
If Marner had played more regular shifts with McDavid, especially on the 5v3 PP or in OT, Canada wins that game because Marner would draw the defense and let McDavid shoot, which is what won them the 4-Nations. Instead, McDavid kept drawing the defense and created chances for MacKinnon who couldn’t score on open nets. Instead, Cooper kept going back to MacKinnon and Celebrini despite them obviously having a bad game.
What did Matthews do to win the Gold? Barely anything. Yet you’ll pretend he carried Team USA to gold while sit there and cry about Marner meanwhile the majority of the team, including MacKinnon, Celebrini, McDavid etc. had 0 goals and 0 points.
the whole thing is complete bullshit, the question is a red herring. keep pitting left vs right, its all they want to keep the dummies in line. everyone falls for it..the illegals are the problem. the poors are the problem
just my opinion, how can any decent person with all thats been seen in the files (the worst is yet to come) even support any of them?
anyway keep fighting left vs right…that will fix things
You say “pitting left vs. right” yet you believe all the horseshit the left manufactures every day. The illegals are definitely a problem. The left use to recognize that before they got compromised by big Marxist interests. They learned to win elections you flood the country and give everybody free money. They only care about power and have become devoid of principles.
The “files” are worse for the left. The “worst is yet to come” is more leftist bullshit you believe. Just like Russiagate. Or any of the other “this is the one that’s going to take him down” horseshit media narratives that never worked.
Keep pretending you’re “in the middle” while believing leftist lies.
Okay, I’ll bite. How is attending supporting his entire agenda? There is no politician alive that has 100% support from any sane person. Especially in the US where you only have two options, I bet there are plenty of people on either side that don’t fully support every decision made by their side.
How fucking insane is this?!? Trump asked lawmakers to stand if they agreed with the principle that “the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens”. Of course, every Republican stood, and most Dems did not. If you’ve been a tax paying, upstanding citizen for decades, and your elected leaders (whose salaries you fucking pay for) won’t stand for you before people that are in the country illegally, I don’t even know what to say. Utter insanity.
You are absolutely correct. Bravo.
