How Leafs fans look at the end of every playoffs after predicting a successful season, every single season, 58 years in a row.
Fixed.
I heard marner is being used as a center in vegas?
Gonna be really tough for him in the playoffs if he stays in that position.You should get your hearing checked because Marner has only taken 127 FOs. 54% in the Dzone though.
He should have always been a center. The Leafs and their retarded player development strategy screwed that up. But he could play center. He’s strong enough defensively to do it. The hard part is the FOs that usually takes years to become among the best at. He’s not that big but he could play center if he had to, certainly better than the 20 times they tried with Nylander to abysmal failure.
Vegas on a back-to-back after going to OT last night and putting an AHLer in net tonight.
Leafs should win this easy unless they fuck it up. Leafs never fuck it up though.
Well my Rangers shit the bed vs the Sens which is pathetic, just like the Rangers have been most of the season, nearly 10 points out of a playoff spot time to trade expiring contracts or guys who want to be moved / should be moved and recoup some draft picks etc.
That being said big game for you guys tonight when your Leafs take on the Vegas Golden Showers and that wimp boy who took his ball and walked away when they wouldn’t pay him like a top line centre. In my outsider opinion it was for the better for your franchise although I’m sure they wanted him to stay but he clearly decided he was gone some time ago. It’s clear as day he’s not a top line center, he’s a highly skilled winger but way too cute and super soft – especially come playoff time. I think Vegas is going to regret the $ and term they paid him, he hasn’t been a real game changer for them in the regular season and isn’t that supposed to be when he shines?
God knows the Leafs have had to play some of the hardest 1st and 2nd round teams but it’s been shown they have enough of the high skill but soft / not enough grit type of players already as has been seen year over year come playoffs. Plus Marner whining about fans, media and not feeling safe just makes him seem like a little bitch.
I was impressed with their gave vs the Avs, you would have to be a complete retard not to have been.
I hope the Leafs kick the shit out of the Knights tonight just for the narrative in the media and the fireworks in here. lol
Keep pretending to be an “outsider”. Make sure you make one account per different team you’re pretending to be a fan of.
Jays would have to eat a big chunk of salary to move Santander or Berrios which kind of defeats the purpose.
Passan reporting that Jays willing to go to 10 years for Tucker. Gonna come down to whether he wants to lock in or roll the dice on a shorter term deal. I don’t think any insider has the answer to that. Hope is that he dislikes the FA experience and just wants to decide where he’s going to ride out his career.
Nah, they wouldn’t. Both are serviceable players and there are plenty of teams out there that can’t reel in UFAs who could take them to fill out their roster.
Santander has hit 40 home runs and 100 RBI just a year ago as a switch hitter. He’s getting pushed out of his spot to bring in Tucker otherwise he’d be in the line-up with the hope he can bring power. Somebody would roll the dice on him.
Berrios is still a starter too, easily 10-15 wins with 120+ strikeouts. Again, he’s getting pushed out of the line-up because they’re making upgrades, not because he’s terrible.
Both players can be moved rather easily. It’s not like they’re both trash players with 40 million per year left on their deals.
I dont know that you could get anything at the moment for Santander or Berrios, and there is no point trading Hoffman and creating another hole you need to fill.
SS Xander Bogaerts signed for 11 years and 280m, and that hasnt worked out great.
I just think now that they signed Okamoto, Bo is a tougher fit than TuckerYou don’t have to “get” anything for them, you just have to clear their salary for prospects and picks and spend the money on better players.
Hoffman needs to be replaced regardless. He’s not good enough. I’d rather replace him now, you would rather replace him later. Either way, he can’t be the closer anymore. He already cost us one World Series, they should not put him in a situation to cost us another.
Bo looks closer to signing with Philadelphia which means an offer to Tucker is around 40-50 million per year to compete with the offer that the Mets gave him.
By clearing 35 million in salary, the Jays can be more competitive with making that offer. Or, they can solidify the team in other ways.
Framber Valdez is still out there to be signed. Even Nestor Cortes as a distant Plan B now that Ranger Suarez has gone to the BoSox, would be good to add along with bringing back either Scherzer or Bassitt as insurance for Yesavage if he has rookie troubles. I’d rather spend 35 million on a starting LHP (or pitching depth) than on Santander and Berrios if they can’t reel in Tucker or re-sign Bo.
Imagine this rotation:
Cease, Valdez, Gausman, Bieber and Yesavage with Scherzer or Bassitt alternating with Yesavage or as the 6th man and bullpen.
Ponce, Rogers, Lauer, Fluharty, Varland and Hoffman also in the bullpen plus adding a real closer (maybe you can find a way to get one for Santander and/or Berrios).
retarrds
Retard.
The Leafs media are desperate for attention.
Unless NJ took Rielly and held onto $3 mill of Hamilton’s cap hit why the fuck would the Leafs even bother? lol
Hamilton was once a very good offensive D, Leafs would have benefited greatly from him had they not made the retarded Kessel trade.
But at 9 million, as you said, they’d have to take Rielly and retain to make it possible. It shouldn’t happen.
Late game, back to back nights after getting points in 10 straight. nothing to analyze, forget it and on to the next one
This logic won’t apply to any of the retards if Vegas loses to the Leafs though.
Outshot almost 2 to 1, outplayed and outscored 6-1 and counting…
Hey to the three blind retards, where is the team that beat Colorado in OT with an AHL goalie? Is the parade still happening? This is the same team isn’t it? Oh wait, Woll isn’t there to stand on his head? The best players can’t be consistent and provide the same effort? Damn. I thought they were SO BACK. What a horrific scenario!
The effort displayed last night vs the dogshit they displayed tonight is why you morons just can’t see why this team isn’t really a contender. By some miracle, they might be a shitty wild card team but this team won the division last year and took the Cup champs to Game 7. This team does not have the consistency or the drive to be an actual contender.
Shots For: 22nd
Shots Against: 32nd
PP: 25th
GAA: 22ndShooting % is unsustainably high which is why they’re 5th in goals for and it’s why the offense will disappear when the games matter most. This is not a Berube style team no matter what kind of bullshit narrative you want to believe. Except the face-offs. That tracks accordingly. But other than for the PK, they don’t put it to good enough use.
They have some great moments, like any team does, but doing it every game, against every opponent, they don’t have it and that’s why this team doesn’t have what it takes to contend for a Cup. Wild card pretenders is what this team is.
