If you just put your irrational hated for the guy aside, you could enjoy his numerous good plays.

Like, (frank). He's a great player on a team your cheer for. It's (frank)ing insane to me.

Everything you typed above makes great sense.

However...

For the past 40 years, I've always selected one Leaf per year to have an irrational hate for.

This system has served me very well over the years, and damned if I'm going to change now.

P.S. I was totally franking right about Komarov - you frankers never gave me enough credit for that one.

I’m officially going to nickname Nylander, Cilantro.

Lots of people love it... others can’t stand it.

I wonder what Max Domi will do.

And if players like Domi opt out, I sincerely hope the fan bases aren't arseholes about it.

Domi probably won't opt out, but he should,

Komarov was great in the room and never snapped a wet towel at another player's ass.

Or perhaps this is a calculated move to get it over with before play begins.

And speaking of my longstanding hatred of Komarov, if you frankers really want to torture yourselves. take a look at the 2015-16 Official Leafs Prediction Thread:

https://hockeybuzz.com/bo...read.php?thread_id=129188

I got more things right than wrong, but there are a few really, really wrong things.

Here's my favourite:

SHAWN MATTHIAS: I think this guy is going to be the sleeper pick. Look for him to be steadily moved up in the lineup - hell, he could get some 1st line time due to injuries, or if he doesn't get traded at the deadline. But he'll get traded at the deadline.

I swear to goodness, I don't even remember who Shawn Matthias was. Was I being sarcastic?

Edit: he was traded at the deadline:

2016-Feb-21 Traded from Toronto Maple Leafs to Colorado Avalanche for Colin Smith and round 4 pick in the 2016 draft (Keaton Middleton)

WHAT A BOUNTY!!!!

He played in the top-6 of the poopty Panthers. Not a bad guess...except him moving up a lineup means your team sucks.

Yes, yes we did.

Although in fairness to the Leafs, the team took a big hit when JVR contracted a bad case of Tanktomoveupinthedraftitis.

Cilantro is delicious. It's a great thing my genetic code allows me to enjoy it.

You can watch all of his goals from this season on YouTube.
- Zezel


I posted goals from both players. It’s not hard to tell who has more skill in tight; in JVR’s office. What’s hard is to let go of a pre-set narrative when you have a very narrow mind.

I suppose that it's an acquired taste but I actually quite enjoy bitter cuisine if done right...

Franking around a little more on the Leafs' tankiest season ever, here's a fun one for you:

Name the top 3 Leafs forwards in PPTOI/G for the 2015-16 season.

If you get more than one name right, you are a cheater.

An indication of how bizarre the season was:

That year, the Leafs had 15 forwards with over 2 minutes in PPTOI/G.

This year? 5.

Holy poop. This one excerpt from the book by his niece is going to scare the crap out of Trump. A clinical psychologist who knows the details of his upbringing.

Ouch.
