...you're ugly.

and what would of the leafs had to give up to make that 8th seed?

for once they arent moving prospects to make a dash for the playoffs.. thats been the mantra of this franchise for DECADES

and its never worked..

so.. now that we finally have a GM who is unwilling to sell the farm for quick fixes everyone is flipping out.. just like how everyone flipped out when we had GMs who sold off the farm for the quick fix

same old bullpoop.. damned if ya do, damned if ya dont. I for one am just happy that Burke sat tight and refused to overpay for a half assed superstar like Nash.... let the game play out.. regardless of how long it takes. just for once.. stop making the post season the be all end all priority.. its never worked for the leafs before.. so why would it work now?

I'm not saying sell the farm, you really dont need to....and the farm is really "meh" anyway. I'm saying get rid of this mentality that if we dont get into the playoffs as 1 - 6th seed than there's no sense trying to make the playoffs at all that people and Burke seems to have.
Nash isn't the answer we need. I guarantee Burke didn't sit tight because he wanted to.....he most likely didn't have a choice.

Why are you so cranky....I thought you retired anyway.

Interesting.

He's really matured. Even in his first couple of seasons with Toronto.

I've always wondered why Burke didn't trade Lombardi for a 1st rounder at the deadline...

Morning, everyone.

Interesting.

Well when you're thrown into the fire you either burn up or rise like a phoenix.

They said "Toews, Not a game breaker" during the draft combine a few years ago.

Wow. How much has changed.

Never knew he died and then had risen from the ashes, when did this happen? and exactly when was he placed in a wooden cage? I need answers.

The metophorical cage of the Toronto media.

Metaphorically? You can also argue the symbolism of it. I will accept it. haha

Kessel has matured though and showed a lot more effort for once this year. He'll never be great in his own zone but at least he isn't a liability.

I know that they didn't have a crystal ball and it's easy to say this now, but still.


They really messed up. aha

He was better in all three zones, what you will never get out of him is the battles along the boards, I shouldn't say never but probably won't get it all that often.
