Like let’s try to be positive? Leafs have 9 consecutive years in the playoffs, including years they weren’t expected to make it. They also have shit the bed a bunch too.
~AaronInteresting to note, in those 9 years, 5 of the teams that eliminated the Leafs (assuming Florida does this year), went on to the Cup Finals. That’s not nothing.
Yes, the Leafs need some drastic changes up front, but holy shit this team is close. If they hadn’t shit the bed in game 7 at home, I think they’re in the Cup Finals. Tre came in to a bit of a shit show, and in just two years he’s shored up our D and tendies. Give him another year, maybe two, to get the forwards figured out, and I think we’ll see more success. Winning in professional sports is hard as fuck. The Wild have been eliminated in the first round 8 straight years, but nobody talks about that because they’re not the center of the hockey universe.
If the Panthers cruise past the Canes in 5 does that change a bit of the bad taste the Leafs fans have?
like maybe with a few tweaks they can come back stronger?
Run it back!!
~SenstrollInteresting point by Senstroll over in Shittsville, errr, HB. This is what I’ve been saying to everyone that’s been trolling me offline, (mainly Oiler fans). I said even before the playoffs started that Florida is the best team in the league and is VERY likely to go back-to-back. They should (like the Leafs would have done too), roll over Carolina and then the Cup finals may be a coin flip. Losing to the back-to-back Cup winners is nothing to scoff at. Florida is just built different, they’re built for playoff hockey and could beat just about any team in the cap-era in a 7 game series.
Ideally for me, (a long-suffering Leaf fan living in Alberta), Florida absolutely steamrolls Carolina, Dallas beats the Oilers as fast as possible, then Florida dummies Dallas. Then I can say to Oiler fans that they lost to the team that lost to the team that JUST barely beat us. (Mind you, Florida showed in games 5 and 7 just how far ahead of us they really are).
In other news, if you’re reading through the HB thread, if you just ignore any comment by ‘that guy’ or anyone responding to him, you can fly through the thread pretty quick.
Morgan has to be moved out and you are not getting value for him.
~FakepartofmeMorgan Rielly is going to be wearing a Leaf sweater for three more years, and the sooner we all accept that the better off we’ll be.
Calle Jarnkrok $2.1 M + David Kampf $2.4 M to CBJ for Boone Jenner $3.8 M
~UGOh, come on. You can’t be serious.
If Marner truly wanted to stay, why wouldn’t they already have worked out an extension? It’s six weeks till he’s a UFA, I think he tests the market.
If he stays, how long do we keep running back the same team before we realize it’s fucking insanity?
And what would you do to get this team to the next level?
Re: UG
I have no clue who is going to come in and why they would want to, that’s Tre’s job. You’re probably not going to replace Marner’s 100 points, even if you replace him with two guys, but that doesn’t necessarily make this team worse.
Regarding JT vs Marner and disappearing acts, yes, I would much rather be paying JT $5M to disappear vs Marner at $14M to disappear.
The main point I was trying to make was that Marner is going to choose to leave no matter what the Leafs do, so they have to pivot.
Exactly 6 weeks till July 1st, then a lot of our questions will be answered. Personally, I think Marner walks and JT signs a really team-friendy deal. Tre brings in one forward that has that dog in him to hopefully light a fire under these soft-ass bitches.
Oh, and Carolina is finding out that there are levels to this. I’d be surprised if they got it to game 6.
FIRSTIES!!!????

~SkalapyIt too ya long enough. I’d say with a few exceptions we got the god squad of posters here, lets keep it that way.
Just need a little more Mr. Sir around here.
Woll sucks
~FakepartofmeBefore tonight, he had something like a .950 sv% in potential series clinching games, and the Leafs did him zero favors tonight. Granted, he was not great tonight, but the kid has a bright future.
Like I said, Tre has done a great job so far with the back end, he gets free reign to retool the forwards now as far as I’m concerned.
Fire Shanny into the mother fucking sun.
Tre has still done a masterful job. Completely overhauled the D and tendies, if he can somehow move Rielly he’ll be a genius. He got stuck with this core, now he has some flexibility to retool the forwards. Based on what I’ve seen from Tre, I believe.
Bye leafs.
~FakepartofmeI can’t believe I fell for it again. Need to blow the core 4 up, I don’t care who stays or who goes.
