Personally, I’m happy we don’t have any posters here glazing themselves that Marner made a 4 foot pass.
GO LEAFS GO!!!
Lost in all of this is that Sir Joseph “Brick” Woll is an absolute stud in elimination games. Something like a .950 sv% in 4 or 5 elimination games. Absolutely nuts that we’re blessed with this guy as our “backup.”
This is incorrect.
Source: I was there.
~Atomic WedgieFull credit to the Leaf crowds so far this year, FAR exceeded my expectations. I can’t blame them for no being loud after the Leafs stunk up the joint. If Matthews wins the game in OT tomorrow, do you think that guy can get his #34 jersey back? Lol
We are half way to this pollyanna comment aging well. I posted this during the period of angry dooming after the Game Three Bed-Shitting incident.
~PDFBetween my raging at the Leafs after game 5, there is a comment I made about this comeback being all the sweeter. This COULD be a turning point in these guys careers. Finally slaying the dragon. I’m still pessimistic about what we’ll see in game 7, but I truly, desperately want to be proven spectacularly wrong.
Lose: Rielly
~Underhill14You lost me at step 1. How are you going to move an overpaid, underperforming, trade protected, contracted for the next decade defenseman?!?
Marner’s camp said they weren’t talking new contracts until after the season, so MLSE felt they needed to protect themselves by trading him.
~Atomic WedgieJeez, that might have backfired spectacularly for Marner. First, Rantanen signs at a VERY nice number for Dallas, absolutely tears it up in the playoffs, and then Marner does his typical disappearing act when the games start to mean something. Sure, someone is going to pay him, but I genuinely believe he wanted to spend his whole career in Toronto.
Honestly, I think he winds up in San Jose. He can do his fancy pants shit all day there, not have to worry about the playoffs likely for a few years, make a boat load of money, and have no pressure at all.
Meh, its a business, marner could have signed at anytime during the year. He chose not to.
Managements mistake was not waiting until the deal with the Canes was 100% confirmed, they jumped the gun.
~FakepartofmeDo you think there was an offer on the table for Marner to sign? If anything, I’d imagine MLSE was waiting to see how the playoffs went before giving him all the money x8 and trade protection.
