Kapanen being literally (frank)ing held in a bearhug in front... nothing.

He puts a useless grinder on every line. He's terible.
- RogerRoeper

He turned a 30th place team into a playoff team.

The next year he led his team to the most points they’ve ever had in a 100+ year existence.

This year they are on pace to beat that record again.


Something tells me he knows more than a guy that posts on HB. You are simply wrong here.

I see the Leafs bipolar disorder has set in.

There's another period left, and they're only down 2. It can still go either way.

You're giving this underachieving group a free pass. Let me guess - you're a millenial?
- fifty__missions

No, I am not a millennial, but you have to admit, watch Florida on any other night, they are garbagio. They see the leafs and they are like “okay boys, we are on Hockey Night in Canada, better actually play this one”

No they don't. Penguins didn't win the Cup with a line of Malkin Crosby Kessel. The Caps didn't have Backstrom OV and Kuznetsov playing all the time on the same line

In a salary cap world while trying to have 4 decent lines, you have to spread the talent around.

This.

Leaf fans just like to grab anything they can to complain about when the Leafs are losing a hockey game. It’s almost like the world flips upside down for them...yes the earth is flat.

Stack the lines and you'd get better results.
In the playoffs last year, Boston's best players were playing 4+ minutes more thna the Leafs best. why the hell is our coach spotting the opposition that kind of advantage?

You know what the reasoning will be there tho....”Well they can’t call everything they see” which was apparent with the knee on knee

We need to be the best team in the NHL every night. Every period even.

Gotta hold teams to less than 25 shots. Make no errors, and win by at least 3-4 goals.

They've been poop now for a while. PDO/puck luck is settling down and teams are figuring us out, and taking away the rush chances by gapping up hard and clogging the neutral zone so the stretch pass won't work.

Not panicking, but maybe it's time to mix up the lines a bit.

Let's just give the Leafs a participation ribbon and call it a night, then, shall we? The other team is just trying too damn hard for our boys.

Do you know what I'd like to see right now?

Yes, that's right. Another 100 impossible trade proposals.

I don’t care about Boston.

They got knocked out in the 2nd round.

Look at the Penguins and their 3 cups.

Sheary with Crosby.

A 3rd line with Kessel on it.


And look at the Caps. You are wrong again.

just roll three lines and have 3 goons on reserve for whenever


- daeth

Vasilevskiy playing out of his mind? Goon line. No more Vaseline

Brouwer goes knee on knee on Kapanen? Goon line. No more Barkov.

To be fair, wasn't Dustin Brown actually a half decent player back then?

Things don’t go their way sometimes.

They will make adjustments. Like every team in the league.

The effort needs to ramp up big time regardless. This isn't good enough.

Pens and Cap players were all getting much more TOI than the Leaf players did last Spring.

He is tough we should trade for him.

It happens to every team.

I’m not going to worry about it. I’ll just watch.

You can worry if you want.
