If Kap was on their top line, their rebuild would be done

Good on McBackup last night. Did his job.

The shootout specialist with a beauty shot too.

Also, leave it to Gardiner to dance along the blue line and be a big part of sending the game to OT. Then within 1 minute in OT completely shut his brain off and hand over the puck leading to the penalty.

We need D.
If Tavares signs....kadri will be moved for cap reasons.
Forget Joe.....Jesus....too old.

- Fakepartofme


I doubt that, Kadri's contract is way to valuable. 4.5m for a 3O goal scorer and plays against other top lines is unreal value.

Leafs' magic number is now 16.

Any combination of gained Leafs points and lost Panthers points totaling 16 locks up 3rd place in the division.

If the Leafs go 5-5-2 to close out the season, Panthers have to go 12-1-2

Leafs currently on pace for 104 points.

Panthers currently on pace for 92 points.

Yeah you are probably right, but Gauthier could improve.

There are 11 teams with less goals agains't than Toronto, it's not as dire as everyone makes it out to be.
They are still very young.

It was franking classic Gardiner - and the best/worst part was, I could see it coming a mile away.

"What the frank is he doing? No - don't do it, Jakey! Nooooooooooo!"

I believe him "only being able to score around the net" was the knock on him and why we need to get rid of him.

Let's be honest, if you take away his hattrick last night, did he even score? Gotta go.

- markmark

Lol

Yeah I only want guys who score thirty goals on forty foot slappers from the wing

Stay tuned.

You do when it saves you 4.5 million and can brings back a poop ton of inventory or quality dman back.
Jt can't be on the team without moving out some money.
I'd prefer to keep kadri but something would have to give

I assure you, based on the proceeding comments, it was not. This was an angry frenchman that was riled up over a TSN article asking "Is any NHL team outright tanking?" and he was upset that "Funny TSN didn’t ask this question when the Leafs tanked harder and more obvious than any other team to try and land Matthews".
