What I saw in the Leaves thread the other night was ridiculous & unprovoked. In my opinion Tavares isn't elite. That's my opinion, & it wasn't provokative comments I made as my discussion started on the difference between he & Matthews with the possibility of Matthews being paid the same.

Some of you don't, but I don't see you coming in & correcting à Leafs fan when they say stupid poop. Tavares generational?? That's very recent........ People (I would say most), probably don't care & may even be a little jealous of the team, but when comments are really just silly, it's going to provoke a negative opinion. Agreed there are stupid comments being made, but wow, it's not only non Leafs fans.

One thing to consider...

I don't see a lot of Leafs fans starting the bullpoop. It gets started, on the Leafs thread and other threads by other fans. Yeah, some stupid stuff is said in rebuttal.

The Tavares comments are (frank)ing hilarious. Every single person with a suddenly negative attitude would be excited to have him added to their team, with no players given up. It would be nice if peoples "hockey discussions" involved actual thought... then again, we are on Hockeybuzz

If you want a respectful, intelligent conversation try having enough respect for the people you are trying to engage to call their team by the proper name. If your screen name doesn't have "Referee" under it there is no obligation whatsoever to correct an opinion because you don't agree with it, and even then that's just for people abusing the site.

How about Marincin for Simmonds? You can overpay him as a UFA too after he's done winning Cups in Toronto.

We already have an 8th defenseman. Maybe Gardiner as our 7th for depth.

Geez. I guess you wore out all your "A" material already...

Just awful.

Speaking of deRps...

I love how one of the most dysfunctional franchises in NHL history finally draft a couple good players and sign a big name UFA, history obviously shows all UFA signings work out for the best, and before anything is proven the fans automatically tag them as the team to beat.

Yes, be excited for your team, but jump out of delusional land before claiming anything. Everyone gets it, the Leafs history is abysmal so any glimpse of slight success is huge, but it's not a big of a deal to the rest of the NHL. If Toronto starts dominating the NHL this coming year then yes they deserve to be mentioned with the elite. Until then they have done NOTHING...NOTHING. I don't care if your video game simulation had them win, prove it in reality first.

Yeah, Leafs fans everywhere are claiming we won the cup!

toronto won the cup in 2018

... just like last week when some idiot Penguins fan was claiming Leafs fans were agreeing with Eklund's Matthews>McDavid derp.

Until it was shown that there was only one, not very concrete example of a Leafs fan agreeing; ONE, maybe.

This is the same bullpoop.

People dreaming up reasons for their butthurt by projecting behavior on Leafs fans that is not supportable.

The Leafs are contenders. The fanbase is perfectly justified in being optimistic. That is too difficult for some people to handle apparently.

Yes, they did.

They didn't win the Stanley Cup in 2018 though... because they weren't contenders.

i've got 10 parade routes mapped out for the 10 consecutive cups we are going to win.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy...

For the Philly fan:

"A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior."

Q: Why does TSN and Sportsnet always talk about the Leafs?
A: They are located in the 4th largest media market in North America, largest in Canada, with both networks being located in the city.

Q: Why is Eklund always including Leafs in his roomer updates?
A: Because they are the most talked about franchise in the NHL - by its fans and fans of other teams - and HB is a business and the Leafs drive revenue.

If you're always talking about the Leafs, criticizing their fans, making jokes about 1967, "plan the parade", their D is poop, Tavares sucks...all this stuff is not coming from Leafs fans...it's you. From what I can tell on here most fans of other teams dislike the Leafs at least as much as they like their own team and can't go 10 minutes without commenting on them. Don't like it? Just don't say anything. You'd be amazed how quickly the noise dies down, because all these "delusional Leafs fans" people drone on about incessantly don't exist in the numbers people seem to conjure up in their basement.

Know why I won't comment on another team here negatively unless provoked by a poster? Because I don't give a rats behind about your team.

You're the ones that promote the Toronto as centre of the hockey universe narrative. Not Leafs fans.

And I thank you for it, because that means I get 24/7/365 coverage of my favourite team...
