Blue collar, hard working players become heroes in Toronto

we are replacing fringe with fringe...hoping the new fringe is a little better than the old fringe AMIRIGHT?

YOU'RE RIGHT !!

I think last year debacle was caused from fatigue. The leafs lack of a fourth line. Not playing the fourth line might work in a short season but, for a playoff bound team to lose 14 in a row at the very end, signifies either internal off ice issues or fatigue.

I like the new direction. Love the komorov signing. Not too familiar with most of the other guys but cant hate low risk medium reward signings

That's beautiful.

TSN dedicated 18 paragraphs to a maple leaf non-story.

If a leaf player farts it a guaranteed 4 paragraphs on TSN.

Yeah weird how the team with the largest fan base plus the biggest group of haters would generate hits for a news company that works off readership views.

Absolutely. But only to tell us how much it smells. Duthie is a proper miserable (frank). Always Sens this, Sens that.

Crazy Ness. You want hits mention leafs and fans and trolls will come in droves.

I've got to touch you right now
Can't you keep it down
So nobody hears, you need to whisper
Gently in my ears
Everything you'll say, will show me the way..

Exactly. I think it's foolish to say that TSN hates the leafs. A lot of people dislike the leafs but TSN and their editors are not part of that extremely large group of haters.

Please remind your fellow leaf fans of this.

They still crap on them all the time too. Christ they just said they were going to be bottom two this year.

Well other than Jeff O'Neil (not sure if he works there, and Seigel, I can't think of any that are pro leafs) Or did you just mean the website?

Has kinggilmour got his own column yet?
He's guessed one more correct than Eklund.

Ek had jagr to Dallas. That's a tie at least.

It seems like he did more than guess. He got term and salary correct as well. Which would've been a hell of a guess

Oh man forgot about them. What a pro Leafs bunch they are. Hodge, Simmons and a couple of other divs.

Is that hating or just being honest?

Are they blinded by hate or just astute hockey observers?

Would have been great if he didn't come back and be a giant douche a out it after.

Yes but everyone says they are leaf lovers blah blah blah. If that was true they wouldn't say the bad.

SO you think they are only better than 1 other team? They were better than 9 last year. So either everyone got a lot better or the Leafs got a lot worse

Option 2. We lost our powerhouse 4 line and replaced it with scrubs.

Yup. Big loss there. What with all those fights they had

Is it the lack of a 4th line or Carlyle's system?
