And yet....not one playoff win....and only 4 point lead on those poopty Sabres.

Why are you talking like the Leafs have won cups?

Cup contenders?? They go out in the first round EVERY year. They're as much a " cup contender " as Minnesota's and Columbus.

Cup contender??? With THAT defense?? 😂😂😂😂😂😊😊

You cheer for Buffalo.. your glass house is falling

Just curious. If Matthews gets 16, what do you think Jack will do in Buffalo? You think he'll just show up and honor his deal? Making 6 less a season than his buddy?

If this was the NFL there'd be a solid chance, but it's not. When was the last time a star player with a huge deal sat out?

Gotta make the playoffs to have a chance to win. 7 years and counting since the Sabres made the playoffs things are going off the rails again it looks like. When they miss they'll have to overpay skinner to stick around not improving the team but messing up their cap. It's only down hill from here for them. Eichel hasn't lived up to expectations. They swung and missed on mittlestad and nylander and even dahlin who is good but isn't the Calder lock he was supposed to be. That said he'll still want to get paid like Matthew's and McDavid only more because of the cap going up.

He's absolutely the Calder lock. That race is over. And he will be paid accordingly. Eichel hasn't lived up to expectations?? 7th in the league in scoring?? Oooookkk lol lol lol

So why ars you so butt-hurt and obsessed?

If you have nothing to worry about, why are you so worried?

So very, very worried.

You're right the race is over. Pettersen has it locked down. And eichel was supposed to be McDavid equal during the draft wasn't he. 0.89 career pts per game to McDavids 1.24. Even Matthew's is 0.98. Even marner is having a better year than he is. Was that expected.

Yeah, I'd say the Calder trophy is Pettersen's to lose at this point. If he continues playing the way he has the rest of the season, it's his. That kid is a hell of a player.

Noone ever said Eichel was supposed to be McDavid equal....ever. ever.

And up to this point, Eichel, Matthews and Mariner have won EXACTLY the same # of series, cups, and scoring titles.

Patterson has fallen WAY WAY WAY behind Dahlin in the Calder. But o wouldn't expect a Toronto fan to understand defense

Difference being matthews and marner have carried their team to the playoffs each year they've been in the league and Matthew's has a Calder trophy to his name.

Was he shining it when Babcock had him nailed to the bench for the 3rd period of game 7 against the Bruins?

He couldn't see the ice with a telescope....

Hard for Eichel to see the ice from his bedroom when the big boys are still suiting up.

It's cute how the Sabres fan brings up the Leafs not winning a playoff series in a long time, like he knows what playoffs actually are. What's it been, 7 years since Buffalo even saw the playoffs?

Well, getting rookie of the month that one time really cements, things doesn't it?

In their rookie years, both Marner and Nylander won several rookie of the month awards, but they lost the Calder to another guy, named Auston Matthews. FACT!

Pretty easy to understand that Toronto has given up less goals in the same games played as Barffalo....
But simple math is not American's strong point, as the world knows.

It really sucks that you have to try and defend the Sabres in an argument against the leafs. Leafs rebuild started later and they are still way ahead. Leafs got the better top centre. Leafs got an equal player at 4 as the Sabres got at 2. Leafs got the better Nylander. Babcock turned down buffalo to come coach the leafs. Tavares wouldn't even meet with buffalo and signed for less with the leafs than other teams offered. Leafs young guns have never missed the playoffs. Sabres young guys have never been in a playoff hunt coming down the stretch. Buffalo has 0 cups in team history and the leafs have the second most of any team in the league. But you keep fighting the good fight. Us leafs fans are so envious.

Your best player is Jack Eichel though.
