He can’t play up to his caliber if he faces as many shots as he did last year. Goalies that play that much and see that much action never make it deep into the playoffs. Not that that matters because the Leafs are 5 years out from winning a cup and can’t get past the Bruins who play the game right.

They play it so well they lost four straight in the second round. They felt if they dominated their way to the cup this year it would be unfair for all other teams.

Aaron, as usual, you are wrong.


The Bruins believed they had a slight chance to win the cup and so they made their defense look suspect in order to lull the other 30 teams into a state of security while playing against it. Once we sign Tavares and promote some prospects I'd much rather have than Barzal and Connor we'll be ready. It was all a slow play for us to get everyone right where we want them and then unleash our 2011 style and kick the league in the nuggets.

2020 Stanley Cup Champions - Bruins
2021 (frank) the lockout the Bruins are so good crown them champs

Tavares is not leaving for islanders for 3 obvious reasons

1. hockey players are stupid
2. hockey players are boring
3. the nhl is boring

lol cause its true

So what I've learned from the past few trades of cap dumps is the Oilers are stuck with dead weight in Lucic or they take a 7th round pick for him.

I mean, for me personally, I think I'm good.
- RickJames77

You mean you wouldn't be elated for the leafs?

Go Frank hoho's hat!

Was listening to Gord Miller on TSN 1050, wow is that guy an idiot. He has no clue.

Saying that the Leafs shouldn't get Tavares even if he wants to sign, and should hold cap space in the small chance there is a front line D available next year

I know Tavares is going to resign in New York. I know that he will probably retire an Islander. But, just like with Stamkos I find myself picturing a Leafs roster with a Mathews line, a Tavares line and a Kadri line.

Because I'm a stupid, stupid Leafs fan and I feed off of the disappointment and the abuse.

yes we need and should have a stud d. but its near impossible to get. like stud c.

build down the middle. that to me is the biggest factor to a successful hockey team.

superstars ans elite players win games. add them when you can.

Hes not an idiot at all. Very smart if you listen often.

- Fakepartofme

I'm pretty sure Doughty is going to sign a monster extension on Sunday.

Im ok with Tavares not signing in Toronto and signing in either dallas or san Jose.

Saves us 10 -11 million which is enough to get a good Dman and third line center.

Plus I dont want to trade Nylander yet.
- Fakepartofme

Only one problem with your plan, Fakesie:

There are no good Dmen out there.

If you gave the Leafs an additional $10 million in cap space, they still wouldn't be able to spend it on a #1 defenceman.

Massachusetts has high taxes, and Doyle from Southie would never let JT eat his hamburger in peace - he'd be all over him about getting the powerplay working.

No way JT signs with the Bruins. It's not happening.

P.S. I posted this at 4 a.m.

I've been listening to Leafs lunch for the past couple of months - I've been blown away by how good Gord Miller is.

Andi Petrillo is OK.

Button is better than I thought he would be (and I wanted to hate him).

I have no idea why Carlo Coca-Cola is still on the show.

I listen when I can, but on this topic, he certainly doesnt sound very smart IMO. Even Carlo Colliacovo was pretty much saying "WTF are you talking about" to him.
