the only victory worth having as a leafs fan is winning the first round
leafs defense during the first round

this is one of the most confusing things i've seen
so the leafs gave money to have a backup goalie and help coyotes stay near the cap floor just to have him stay where he is right now

Itās not awful if he was playing and was actually shutdown too

Sandin is awesome
I def see the dilemma. Only getting worse with these injuries, heās getting slower too
celest zephyr
yeah sandin is going to be a key piece for the leafs moving forward

Tavares came in as a win now piece for 2-3 years and nothing but failure. Reminds me of the Wild when they signed Zach Parise and Suter to max contracts. Only difference is, Tavares is still better at this point than both guys on the Wild were.

Oh no
celest zephyr
what
robust grotto
The leafs are losing ??
celest zephyr
what else is new
SPEZZA
nhl can't figure out what a kicking motion is
at this point just make it legal unless its being dangerous
well that was something
if this doesn't make dubas realize that the goalies on this roster aren't good enough then idk
can't win when goaltending is about as bad on 5v5 as new jersey
kinda tired of leafs fans who think that contenders don't have times where they suck or aren't playing well
yeah this team has flaws like every other team and probably more than a team that fancies itself to be a strong playoff team should have but there's ups and downs for every team
leafs hockey losing because the goalie becomes swiss cheese and defense makes too many mistakes and padding the other goalies stats
this team was on fire scoring wise 5v5 which masked their flaws and now that they've regressed to the mean well its just been exposed
celest zephyr
last night was worse
plus as a leafs fan: i'm used to it nothing new. this barely registers on the list of disappointments this year
robust grotto
this team was on fire scoring wise 5v5 which masked their flaws and now that the...
This is exactly it - you hit it on the head
this and the fact that theyāve had defensive issues for a long time now. Canāt hold leads
dim kettle
Feels like forever since Bolts hockey was on.
celest zephyr
yeah its been an issue for years
that and being so soft charmin should be a sponsor of the leafs
robust grotto
truthfully I think most teams have that issue
Doesnāt mean youāre wrong in any way though. Youād hope guys like Simmonds would be enough to deter other teams but clearly not. Being tough is actually a reason why I think the Flames are a sneaky good candidate to make some noise in the playoffs, not saying theyāll win
dim kettle
Man, Philipp Grubauer really fell off a cliff this year.
robust grotto
Oh yeah big time dude
He shouldāve stayed in Colorado
but he never wouldāve gotten the contract that Seattle gave
dim kettle
I think it would've been the same, honestly. It's not like the Avs goaltending has been all that great either till recently.
robust grotto
Money probably but term Iām not sure, you could be right though
celest zephyr
Doesnāt mean youāre wrong in any way though. Youād hope guys like Simmonds would...
the issue is when the superstars and the rest of the team become known for it
robust grotto
I kinda hate that itās February and the east is wrapped up, barring a melt down by Boston or Washington
celest zephyr
the leafs just get shoved and don't shove back enough
don't worry the leafs are going to somehow choke
dim kettle
Seattle is a very bad team this year. But man, going from .922 to .887 in a year is a big oof.
celest zephyr
time to get eliminated by carolina
campbell has been about as rough minus his early start
yeah grubauer has vanished
robust grotto
Man you guys are actually kind of similar to us with the even strength issue
Power play saving the day.. goalie needs to be near perfect each game
Takes a huge toll after a while
dim kettle
Rangers are at least still a bunch of young players. The Leafs, are just the Leafs. They should've been past this a few years ago.
robust grotto
Very, very true
Depending on the day, 4 or even 5 of the 6 defenseman are all 24 or younger
dim kettle
This is coming from a Bolts fan who saw the rebuild in the early 2010s. The Leafs have definitely underachieved. And I see that as both a player problem and a coaching problem.
robust grotto
I always felt that Nylander was a great trade piece for them to take advantage of
But now heās turned into arguably their 3rd most important player between Matthews and Campbell. Would be a major blow to let him go
Way too late to do that now
robust grotto
Fair man
celest zephyr
can't be one of the best and not even have .900 save % for months
dim kettle
Definitely a rough patch for Camp
robust grotto
Naw I just said important to you guys
celest zephyr
i mean idk if he is right now
if he keeps this up then dubas is a fool to keep this goalie tandem
celest zephyr
yeah its a combination of both. the leafs haven't had the coaching staff to push them over the top and the players haven't played well enough
think so
really don't see any point in resigning him with these stinkers
dim kettle
At this point. Dubas can make as many moves as he can, but that's not gonna stop Matthews and Marner from being choke artists come playoff time
robust grotto
Especially Marner
dim kettle
It speaks for itself. Shooting a puck randomly into the stands.
robust grotto
Itās definitely true
robust grotto
really don't see any point in resigning him with these stinkers
And yea idk whoās out there off the top of my head but personally Iād be shocked if he isnāt around next season
Still a lot of time, never know what can happen. I understand the frustration though
dim kettle
Small things will start to feel worse when you know you have no confidence that your team won't make it far for a cup.
robust grotto
Few things in sports are worse than being a team stuck in purgatory
dim kettle
I thought that was gonna be the Bolts fate for awhile.
robust grotto
Jon Cooper, Steve Yzerman
celest zephyr
i'd be shocked to and honestly hopefully he's just a backup where he's done better as
robust grotto
Stamkos, Hedman, and my personal favorite.. Vasilevskiy
celest zephyr
matthews and marner have to show up
dim kettle
Had the talent. 3rd round eliminations
robust grotto
basically the bottom line, talking Matthews and Marner
celest zephyr
maybe this year is the last year before tavares' contract sinks the ship
i'm just hoping that he wants to leave so the leafs can dump the anchor off
robust grotto
Heās producing this season too, I was actually a bit harsh, I didnāt know his numbers were that decent
celest zephyr
also why nylander was so good one of the few guys who bothered to show up last post season
eh he can't take over a game now
for a 11 mill guy to not be able to do that makes it an overpay
robust grotto
100000%
celest zephyr
he's also painfully slow when compared to how fast the rest of the team is
dim kettle
This has to be the year for the Leafs to make a deep playoff run. If not, at this point, Marner has to go, doesn't matter if he succeeds elsewhere. Matthews needs a new wing man.
robust grotto
You think Marner is the most likely one ?
celest zephyr
i'll be happy if they somehow pull of the upset
marner maybe
leafs are prob moving one of him or nylander if this failure continues either this offseason or next
robust grotto
I feel like Nylander would be more attractive but Iām just biased maybe. Old school GMs sure do love their Ontario boys after all
celest zephyr
it'd suck to see him leave but if that's what has to happen then well sucks but it is what it is
robust grotto
Listen itās a shit comparison but Iāll say this
A long time ago now the rangers traded Gaborik to CBJ for a young Brassard, Dorsett, and John Moore. Gaborik is my all time favorite player even before he joined NYR, I was fucking devastated
dim kettle
If i'm the Leafs, I know Matthews is the face of the franchise. I wouldn't be surprised if both Nylander and Marner go. You need to find players that work well with Matthews when it matters.
robust grotto
That trade thoughā¦ really really really worked out for NYR. They gained much needed depth and Brassard became a key player for many season after
Yeah exactly. Sometimes you need to make a change for the betterment of the team or even for one player, like siren says
dim kettle
A long time ago now the rangers traded Gaborik to CBJ for a young Brassard, Dor...
Man, this is just funny.
robust grotto
devastated you donāt even know
dim kettle
Thank god St Louis didn't have the chance to beat my team.
robust grotto
fellow countryman, and he ended up signing for us ??? Little me was so happy, my dad was too. I wasnāt mad he beat us tho
Life, sports, Iām just a fan
Ahhh yeah 2015, we talk about it too much hahaha but a good series honestly
dim kettle
Ahhh yeah 2015, we talk about it too much hahaha but a good series honestly
Because I have such great memories of that time. 
robust grotto
When they were called the triplets line
Little did anyone know that 1 of them would win a scoring title
dim kettle
When TyJo was actually productive.
robust grotto
Dude I donāt think heās done anything for Chicago
dim kettle
Because he wasn't doing anything in Tampa the last 3 years. One of Yzerman's hindsight mistakes resigning him for that cap hit.
robust grotto
Remember everyone swore heād go to Detroit
Good times. You think Tampa will make any moves soon?
dim kettle
No. We're in cap hell rn.
Maybe move Joseph
Will be weird to have a first round pick in forever.
robust grotto
Will be weird to have a first round pick in forever.
I know that feeling very well
Someone would take Joseph for sure. I can see him on LA
dim kettle
Can't think anyone the Bolts would trade longterm for. Point's new cap hit will come next year.
celest zephyr
yeah the leafs have to build around matthews and hope he'll show up in the playoffs. have to convince him to stay
dim kettle
He needs players that won't choke along side him. At least Ovi had help for many years.
dim kettle
Sometimes I forget how grateful it is to have Heddy on my team.
robust grotto
Huge difference maker
dim kettle
Stammer and Heddy have been in Tampa for so long, man. They pretty much grew up with me.
dim kettle
Can't say I was a fan of our current logo when it was first shown. Honestly wish to have this back.
At least throwbacks of these.

Sabu somehow was moving pretty well despite all the shit he used to do back in the old ecw days
but yeah they too old now to be doing all of that

Yeah, it's very hard to convince me to ever watch Impact Wrestling these days.
haughty moss
lol it's a decent watch, but not as entertaining as 2018/19
but expected since a good amount of that talent left for aew, etc
rustic ore
Impact honestly isn't half bad, it's got very good talent over all
It's just their production value is crap and they only work out of a tiny venue

Really wanted to see Bully Ray in WWE
But with the PG TV rating not sure that would go over well

And to also be fair, they need everything it seems.
celest zephyr
when a team needs to build an entire team doesn't really matter as much what position it is as long as they are good
dim kettle
Frankly they need a new QB, but not in this class. They're still paying the price of not grabbing a Josh Allen in the 2018 draft. You know the saying. 'Selecting the wrong guy sets your organization back 5 years'
Honestly, looking at next season for the G-Men. I feel like the record is gonna be worse than last year. But it will surely feel better.
Kinda like going from 2013 Bucs to 2014 Bucs.

better to have a downyear if it means success later on
