Imagine what it would be like if Matthews had 7 goals in 5 games..

Matthews might score 7 tomorrow night against Howard. I don't like this matchup at all. Lethal shot against a sieve. šŸ¤Æ

Nobody was scared of Roman Polak. You just park your ass in there and hope he takes an idiotic penalty.
- BINGO!

I just liked him because he looks like a cartoon character and loves to throw hits. 1 of a few reasons some people even bother to watch hockey.

See why trading Kadri was a (frank)ing stupid idea? Lolzzzz

Not only subtract his grit, but get even more b!tched by adding the softest D-man in the league.

(frank) Dubas for realsies.

Keep Kadri, donā€™t sign JT, trade Willy for Tkachuk, sign Panarin... etc.. I know hindsight is 20/20 but they could have went a different direction with a heavier physical presence and it feels like it would have worked better. Dubas airballed on the style he chose to use.

Panarin Matthews Marner
Tkachuk Kadri Kapanen

Rielly Dermott Muzzin Sandin - then have a couple Polak types (Gudas?) on the third pair.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

Yeah, Flames would have jumped all over Nylander for Tkatchuk. Unreal Dubas couldnā€™t pull that one off.

Save percentage is going to be low when the team allows 1 timers from the slot.

Sometimes poor playing leads to poor goaltending. IMO

.887?

Nope, there isnā€™t an NHL team even close to being that bad to have your goalie get that sv% and be acceptable.

Even Ottawa last year.

(frank), I know you guys are upset about how they have started but give them some time.

Even if you donā€™t believe in the ā€œstyleā€ of play. They have an extremely skilled team. Give them some games to figure this out..

TB was a (frank)ing mess before the game last night. Just relax and watch the games, there is zero point in talking about coaching changes. Itā€™s game 6 of the season.

It was all hypothetical..

There were times when Willy was thought of to have a higher ceiling than Tkachuk, or at least the way people obsessed over him it made it seem that way..

Afraid of the hits from behind...probably, but he couldn't fight worth a damn...no NHL'er with even modest fighting skills was afraid of Roman.

I have no problem with people who have a problem with Babcock.

I have no problem with people who have a problem with Dubas.

But what don't you like about Shanny?

He's the best thing that has happened to the Leafs in the last 50 years.

They finally have a vision that looks beyond the tips of their toes.

Triple A hates "The Man". Shanny is "The Man".

Well..

I donā€™t think it was Shanny who decided to start the rebuild. That would have been Lieweke, no?

All I really know heā€™s responsible for are the 3 things I mentioned earlier. Goal song, logo, Dubas.

Donā€™t sign Tavares at 11m. Better to sign the smaller, softer winger for 11.6m. Stupid Dubas.

Itā€™s about balance Gullsie..

The Leafs donā€™t have that. Why do we need two elite centermen? Kadri was a good enough 2C. They didnā€™t need to go get Tavares. That being said, I donā€™t care that he did. But I sort of expected them to trade Nylander for defensive help. Now theyā€™re up against the cap, and will have a hard time adding that right piece at the right time. We donā€™t need two very good (albeit soft) RWā€™s. We donā€™t have a capable 1LW (Panarin was the hypothetical). Leafs have a lot of flaws and so many of youā€™s are in denial.
