Why is it that fans of opposite teams can't have some rational conversation with each other without being adversarial? I don't disagree that a regression in points is likely for Giroux this upcoming season due to the fact that he had a phenomenal season last year. Doesn't change the fact that over the last 5-6 seasons Giroux has been one of the top scorers in the league over that time span. Calling any of it luck is complete nonsense.

there is some luck involve imo. Granted it's in the single digits.

Like those shots you take and bounces off couple guys and boom GOAL!!!!

It's hockey not snooker.

"since they are quite close to the 50-contract limit"
- Mike

Stop with this nonsense. You don't need to worry about the 50 contract limit. It will never prevent the Leafs from adding any player they want. Besides they are at 47 which isn't anywhere near the limit. And we have 4 or 5 goalies - all of them would have to clear waivers to be sent down. This will open up a couple spots.

Is that luck involved for every player or just Claude Giroux?

Waiving players down to the minors does not clear contract spots.

Maybe throw in home games only when section 19 row 5 seat 4 is occupied. See what the stats are then

Tavares is dope. Fun player to watch. Leafs will be a thrill to watch with all the impressive offensive creativity and options they have up front. The back end though could use some work.

Why do Leafs threads draw so much critiquing and vitriol? How long should they have to wait to win another Cup? Has the suffering not gone on long enough? No matter what site I visit it's always the same. Throw as much shade as you can at the Leafs. Isn't that sort of treatment saved for perennial winners? I understand Golden State from the NBA or the Gretzky led Oilers or any other prolific team that has won multiple titles. But why the hate for the Leafs?? Just don't get it.....

It's so delicious that the trolls keep coming in here. Really shows how much the Leafs upswing is bothering them.

What's even sweeter is when they go back to their own threads to "brag" about how they're intentionally trolling and talk poop about Leafs fans after getting female dog slapped with facts that directly counter their troll fails.

Real bad asses. Lol

He doesn't care about facts. He cares about getting a response. If you provide one he will continue to come back.

It doesn't matter that you are right because he's not here to engage in legitimate discussion or debate. He's here to get a rise out of people because he lacks something in his life outside of the internet. Give him what he wants, whether positive or negative attention, and he wins. Ignore him and he just continues to flail around and make a fool of himself to anyone who actually knows poop about hockey.

Isn't it ironic that, that is exactly what some Leaf posters do also...do the refs a favour and don't flag unnecessary posts, I know he came in and soft trolled this blog with the Tavares jabs but they weren't really that offensive.

What’s pretty funny is he’s talking about how cool and funny it is that this guy is trolling this thread and then he flags the post.

He’s a Flyers fan. He’s probably a criminal and therefore is offensive.

Here is a reminder for everyone and I did send it in a PM to Claude

7. No trolling and no feeding the trolls
All posters are welcome in all threads, regardless of team loyalty, to discuss hockey. But do not post merely to inflame or disrupt.

Do not engage those who are out to disrupt the thread. Simply hit the post report button "!" and the Mods will deal with it from there.

Do not correct the spelling and grammar of other posters. Their errors may make you question how much credence to give their opinions, that’s up to you, but correcting their lapses is rude and trollish.
