Who exactly are the Leafs?

An offensive juggernaut that look like contenders one game?

Flip side...

Play like a Jr team can out work them.

Problem: Roster construction.

Nothing can drive a fanbase more crazy than seeing their team be so enigmatic. There is a reason that anyone can see if they look.

at least Canucks are on the right path. good team

Well yes & no. Warts are there & lots to do yet. Team D is also our problem on a different level. Our D is looking good but the bottom 6 are a black hole. PK is a problem. In goal is not an issue.

Summary: still need the horses to get it done & not just the kids.

Very true!

The crazy thing is, the Toronto media isnt the problem, its fans on twitter who drink the kool aid. Its an echo chamber of charts and graphs, and "analysts" who claim to have the golden tablets of infinite hockey knowledge. I started watching the Leafs in the early 90's, and ive gone through enough stress for 3 lifetimes because of it.

Just my view nothing more. I’d say the same thing about the Canucks last night against the Oil. Not taking anything away from the Oil other than they made us look like the Wings.

Nothing a winning streak won't cure. Spatso slithered in as well - no surprise there. Only comes around after a loss to rub it in. Did you see that goal McDavid scored on Thursday? Highlights are below. Oilers are ok, but they really made the Canucks look like an AHL caliber team

not sure we're gonna see winning streaks that often this year, with the schedule, playing the same team 2-3 times in a row... it will be tough. these are all 4 pts games.

You may be right, any sweeps will hurt. It's still possible.

It is tough to imagine any team separating themselves from the pack in the North.

I honestly don't know why the leafs pay so much for a management team when they can get top notch advice like this for free.

I’d work for free but that’s too expensive.

It’s been a tough 48 hours....

Someone we know died in a car accident yesterday, leaving a wife and 2 young children behind

Day before , wife’s co-worker at hospital dies of terminal cancer at 40, leaving 2 kids behind

Same day, friend of a friends 12 year old daughter hung herself

Then, the Leafs lose to Ottawa

Kinda puts things in perspective

It isn't that you are wrong.

It is that you are on the wrong thread talking about it. Talking about it here IS trolling.

- Aetherial

Glad you admit that you're a troll then based on your own standards. The Habs thread appreciates your honesty. By the way how are your feelings today? Hypocrisy is a female dog

How would the Vancouver fans react if I was on their thread trying to talk hockey by explaining what is wrong with the team?
