I for one am shocked that he didn't say he hated playing for the team he captains.

Well apparently anybody within a 500 mile radius of Toronto is considered from the Toronto "area" by their fans.

Edit: in response to JSC. Stupid phone.

Don't confuse fans with the media. They love pumping this "hometown boy coming home" crap. Leafs fans don't care about UFAs... At least not for the next 3-4 years. Leafs have their own drafted talent to watch develop especially their own first overall pick!
McDavid? Don't give the media any ideas lol! Hey, if the Oilers continue to be terrible who knows what will happen

Says the vast majority of the fan base that had Stamkos signing in T.O. Line combo's being drawn up the entire year including Stamkos.



Lucky for them he re-signed in TBY. Best thing for T.O.

However, in 2 years that would be better timing.

Christ dont all you leafs fans have your own thread to go talk about how good youre going to be in three years.

Yea he did kind of piss in your cheerios but id venture it was meant more to the trolls and media that will bring it up dailey until he signs

I'm all for banter but the hate towards leafs and their fans is pathetic.

Did you see the media in regards to Matthews signing here?

Good luck, there's no way they will shut up about Tavares until he re-signs with the Islanders. They have nothing better to do.

LINDROS CAME HOME TO THE LEAFS!!!

Well it was awful with stamkos so should be the same. I actually dont hate the leafs i was so happy when they stormed back and beat boston a few years back that was awesone. I hate the bruins with a passion though so theres that

Is it overblown or just crazy talk ??

Serious question: are the islanders still paying that phenom Rick Dipietro or is that done now? I just looked on the cap geek and all I could find was Yashins contract.....just wondering.

But in all seriousness....,Kulemin and Grabovski were 2 awesome signings.....ok I'm done. Good night.

Why u bringing up irrelevant points..???

his answer to the question was genuine. To you Leaf fans: I think you guys are on the right track, and will be a playoff team in 2 years.

The title of the article begs leafs fans to engage... Isles fans 'talkin about

the past again. Leafs wil take it before the isles will boys. GO LEAFS GO

Read it and weep Fogel & fans... They talk like this. Longggggisland.

all those contracts...which we Isles fans also flippin hate, and we still made the second round this year. let's not forget Phaneuf's contract dik. Sometimes(always) ufa's get overpaid.

I don't think this is a really good troll man. DiPietro doesn't carry any cap hit, so actually do any of the fans care? I don't think so.

As for Kulemin, it's not that bad. Grabovski is off the book in 2 years and I don't think there are a lot of teams that don't have at least 5 to 10 M 'wasted' cap space.

But in all seriousness, thanks for participating.

Going to file this under "Don't give a sh!t."

OMG can we at least wait until July 2nd 2017 before we start throwing the JT to Toronto BS

When is last time leafs just made the playoffs?

Also was it Phil Kessel that was keeping you from winning?

It's quite sad when fans from Canada think athletes born there are going to come back. I guess you guys should start to worry about Matthews leaving.

This is silly. I mean what do you think Tavares would say? Yea, I'm coming to Toronto & blah blah. He's very smart & knows what to say & not say, when he does say anything. He may sign with Toronto, he may not. he may resign w the Isles, he may not..."So either he's dead, or he's alive. Or the Cops got him...or they don't."
