Agreed. Because he plays for the Leafs, he's useless. I love trolls.

I'm talking Toronto media especially. There has been a hate on for Kessel since day one. They want him to fail because 99% of them hate Burke.

Dear thomas81,

Thanks for opening the flood gates. You're on your own.

What flood gates?

I'm defending my opinion. No, I don't think the Leafs are as bad as some have said. People are acting like they are the absolute worst team in NHL history.

Yet none of these trolls will admit that the Leafs actually do have good pieces in place.

I do believe that.

If you ever played sports, you'd know that confidence is key to being at the top of your game.

90% mental toughness, 10% in the head.

It helps to have actual talent too. Komisarek is at best a 3-4 dman and brutally overpaid.

Leafs have no future and Carey Price is elite.

Are the Tampa media aware they have an NHL team?
- GuyLaDouche


Nice...

I was expecting to get jumped on for comparing Kessel to Stamkos.

Which I wasn't trying to do. Obviously Stamkos is one of the top 5 players in the league and Kessel isn't... but Kessel is not the problem on the Leafs

Yes I have played sports, what a stupid statement. I guess we can just wait another 3 years and maybe his confidence will come back. The guy is 30 years old, if he gets rattled this easy than he's got problems and shouldn't be a pro athlete. Fact is, he just isn't very good...now if you made this argument about Schenn it would be a different story.

Can i have your prediction on the score for Fridays game against New Jersey,You are on a hot streak because what ever you predict the Leafs will score the team has double it or almost double it.

Your Prediction on Monday 4-2 Leafs, Final score 8-0 Bruins

Your Prediction Yesterday 3-1 Leafs, Final score 5-2 Isles.

- Leafsfan9329


They'll win. Phaneuf had a closed doors meeting last night with the guys.

Players usually come out strong after those.

You figured that out in the 6 games he has played in the Leafs Organization.
- Leafsfan9329


Well that and BIOs I read about him on hockey's future etc. Any of these predictions are just based on potential not what they are today.

Hold your horses. Let's all wait and see what Augello has to say about which bandwagon he's on before we jump to conclusions.

Maybe cause the Trolls opinion is that the Leafs don't have good pieces in place. You defend your opinion and then try to shove it down peoples throats by saying the bolded part.

Well yesterday, I wanted us to trade him while he has some good value. I still believe that.

If you only have one elite asset on your team, it should not be a small, soft, one-dimensional sniper with zero leadership inclination.

Don't get me wrong, he is a great piece to a puzzle, but not for the state the Leafs are in; not now.

What's wrong with that? I said we have our number 1 goaltender. I just said he isn't elite.

What the (frank) is your problem?

We do have good pieces, just in the wrong places.

Bozak keeps getting better, I used to think #3 center but he has flashes where you think he could be #2 easily.

Kulemin is a tough one, but he is useful because he wins a lot of battles out there. Just can't finish. He would be great on a line with 2 great scorers and his main job is to just get them the puck. Otherwise, he is easily acceptable as a third liner.

MacArthur is gritty enough to be a third liner and his offense would be welcomed there.

You can make an argument for most of the guys. Problem is Burke wants to push them up to a spot beyond their capabilities. Might be fine for a short stretch, but long term and in the playoffs forget about it.
