I watched a normal interview with him on some daytime show in the 80s where he's talking about the New York real-estate market, and his vocabulary still wasn't great but he gave straightforward thoughtful answers to the questions he was presented with.

He's a politician now.

He understands that the masses only respond well to short, yelled out stupidities.

He's actually smarter than us all and we don't realize it!

why waste word, save time less word
- senstroll

Yup

There's clearly a different set of rules for the Leafs than the other 30 teams.

I love how a team that's 33-0-1 after 2 periods now can't protect leads and will lose in the 1st round as a result because they won 3-2 against Edmonton.
- RogerRoeper

Correct. Wilson helped the Caps win last year so the leafs need a "heavy" player. Ignoring that the Pens won back to back without a Wilson the 2 years prior. Love the media.

I like this argument. He's just trying to throw everyone off by being a classless, vindictive, and petulant man-child with a vocabulary found on a box of Frosted Flakes.

I truly believe it's a combination of low intelligence and age related early stage dementia.

I think we're past the "early" part tbh.

Yeah, I should have known better.

In reading twitter yesterday, you'd think the Leafs lost to Edmonton and that Matthews is garbage,
- PatC80

And it’s not just twitter, I read poop like that in here too.. I don’t mind the garbage hot takes on some players, that’s just bad opinions lol but to assume they have a problem closing out games is so false.. they’ve got to be top 1-2 in the league for that stat

Oh my god who the (frank) cares about trump and politics.. it’s a hockey forum shut the (frank) up, unless trumps a top RH d

They would be tops with leading after 2 periods. I dont know why we dont discuss more of "how afraid teams are when the leafs have a lead".

I love how they ignore Kuznetzov going from playoff zero to superstar and leading the playoffs in scoring. It was Tom Wilson. Heavy matters!

He definitely is a big ol' D, that's for sure...

Can’t do that, it would imply they’re a good team .. ewwww

Oh for sure,

The best hot take from it, was (paraphrasing of course) "Hitchcock, should have seen the tides were turning, and he should have pulled Stolarz a minute earlier"

You're ill-informed sir, he's actually a republican.

Or that Holtby completely turned his game around. Round 1 against Columbus, Holtby didn't play until game 3.

The definitions of "Heavy" I have found mean a lot of different things.

The definitions moves around as you try to compare "Heavy" teams or try to quantify it.

But imo, Sid does a lot of the things I would consider Heavy, like controlling the puck, strong on the boards and corners, stuff like that.

Its just strange it happens to be the best player over the last decade.

The key to Washington winning the cup is their core players playing their best in the playoffs for the 1st time ever. 2 years ago Kuznetzov had 2 points in 9 playoff games.
Every other year they played their best in the regular season.

What I love to do on Twitter is simply post stats when someone makes an insane argument. The IQ level is very low on there with Leaf talk.

Why in the name of all that is holy is Moore the extra skater?

Fixed.

When the Leafs played the Flames the past week, all Flames fans were whining how biased the refs are for Toronto. Calgary was #2 for PP opportunities this season, Toronto 30th. Last 2 seasons, Calgary was 3rd and Toronto 31st.
