if the soupnazi thinks Rielly is not captain material, who are you to question him?

Here's a thought.

Not every player his good on the PK.

Even good offensive ones, or fast ones.

I'm not sure throwing young guys like Kapanen or Johnsson would work.

Maybe it will but.... sounds risky to send so much inexperience to defend against the other teams top guys no?

Kapanen can only score on breakaways. Trade him for Dru Daugty

Boom.

Kapanen's a staple on the PK; that speed is such a threat on it's own, makes guys think twice about east-west on the blueline.

Brown/Hyman too, and I bet we see Kadri out there to get his minutes up.

is Auston still upset that the Leafs for Tavares?
- senstroll

Absolutely. I heard he is also upset that the Leafs have Marner as well. He hates other good players on his team as it takes away from his spotlight.

I meant now. And that's no knock on him, Byron is pretty good. 2 times 20 goals scorer on a low scoring team is impressive.

Yeah, he obviously could be much better than Byron down the line.

He's going to jump ship and sign with the Nippon Paper Cranes where he will finally get the exposure he deserves.

At least it's a challenge in Toronto right now.

For our teams, writing negative stuff is too easy and it doesn't stirr up contraversy because everyone agrees!

Eh, you could probably start a few fights about what the biggest problem is.

Personally I hate it that on the road to Leafs' next 3 Stanley Cups in coming 5 years, they won't be able to eliminate Ottawa and Montreal in a series, just because these teams will not make the playoffs.

Ideal road to Stanley Cup for Leafs:

round 1: defeat Ottawa
round 2: defeat Boston
round 3: defeat Montreal
finals: defeat Edmonton

Well the Leafs and the Marlies ARE part of the same organization. It makes sense for the media to focus on both.

I'd like to see the fanbases of those teams suffer for a bit longer before they climb back into relevance.

Gotta throw poop and hope it sticks... Matthews doesn't want to be Captain, and would be ok with it being Tavares... The Toronto Media is never happy..
