I said my piece and wasted more time than I should have replying to the antisemitic child’s temper tantrum.

I’ve got weekend yard work to attend to and now apparently a full set of MATLOCK DVD’s yet to watch so sorry to end the show early on you Skalapy!

I’m sure there will be another witty retort coming full or ageism and name calling and maybe another super cool FAAFO reference if we are so lucky!

People can’t see the forest through the trees…. Forget moving 16 or 91 it’s not gonna happen.

Take the money from Klankburg , Domi and Bertuzzi and go get a goalie… a real actual NHL goalie… That would fix a multitude of issues….

Until the defense and the goalie gets fixed,
giving those guys a chance to play in front of a real playoff defense and goalie and then go from there.

You can’t just tell a cult their God isn’t real.

These people have deep psychological issues stemming from being constantly wrong about Marner. Instead of them realizing that, they dig in.

Of course you keep 16/34/88.

They just need to be surrounded by the right type of players.

Leaf need goaltending. They need a real #1D who’s terrifying to play against.

Tavares isn’t going anywhere. It’s a non-starter.

Marner will be interesting.

The entire press conference was a waste of time - just trotting out the old cliches.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Wedgie’s prediction?

Core 5 stay for the 2024-25 season. Treliving remakes the team around the edges - tougher.

Summer of 2025 is when poop gets real.

- Atomic Wedgie


Fair assessment. I actually liked the presser. Shanny took some ownership. Sounds like there will be some changes. Doubt JT is the captain next season.

Shanny certainly left the impression that they’re ready to move on from the core and you’re right that it’s not JT. I think it’s probably 50/50 on moving Marner this summer. If not, if Treliving can add some mid-priced quality to longer term deals, he’ll do it. Otherwise it’s more guys in on one year deals.

I’m not sure who beyond Domi of the UFA gang stays. Boosh or Edmundson would be fine but I’m not sure if they’ll be affordable.

The other question is whether he looks for a backup in net or someone who fully shares the net with Woll.

The final goal was at least 30% Willy’s fault.

29% the defenders fault

20% Sammy’s fault

Bro, i like marner. I feel he is definitely the better reg season player.
But concerning playoffs, he doesnt show up sometimes....usually in big games. Specially this year. Now thats not to say wilie doesn't make mistakes either.
But he scores in the playoffs

So is Gibson not a real goalie and you have been trying to fleece us with your suggestions. Because he hasn't fixed crap in years?

We're not here to sell Jerseys.
Good isn't good enough.
Unity.

Here's some cliches right back atcha.
Change the record.
I was born at night but not last night.
Actions speak louder than words.

The problem as I see it is not that you've paid 5 guys half your payroll,
the problem is you chose the wrong 5 guys.

Million dollar skills and 10 cent minds. that's the pathetic irony.

Getting rid of Tavares only saves 600 grand
That's not the answer.
Used to be the Muskoka 5, fast forward to the core 4 cute labels.

Mr Tavares , how dare you tell me you're so close to winning the cup.
1 first round win in 8 tries suggest otherwise.
A 1 for 21 power play says otherwise.
scoring 2 or fewer total goals in all but one of the last who know's how many games.

Looking forward to reading grown men arguing about non-hockey related crap in here rather than DM for the next 2 months.

However, if it was in DM, they wouldn’t get the attention they so desperately crave…

Nobody on this site knows what the future will be.

The good ol’ blow the team up but only blow them up the way I’d blow them up or they only accomplish blowing up the support to them blowing something up lol

He’s been playing behind a defense for the last three years That’s actually no worse than the then what the Leafs ice.. so yeah, he checked out about 2020…

Tree signing Klankburg after his ducks and wild stint pretty much indicated that he was grasping at straws coming in as the new GM…

Verbeek will find a taker for Gibson.. It’ll cost us 30 to 35% retained… but we’ve got at least 3 NHL goalies waiting in the wings.

And with the defense we’re going to ice in the next two or three years we could probably leave the net empty and not give up goals. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😉😉😉😉

so you are given Marner a free pass for letting his man go.
I would have it
Reilly 49% - for not getting to the dump in before Pasta did
Samsonov 25% - cause he did stop the puck or say something to D man
Marner 15% - for not sticking with his man
Nylander 11% - for being Nylander

that's how I see it

Nylander has won the Leafs playoff games, how many has Marner got?
- dmnted


Matthews 6 GWG, Marner 3, Nylander 3.

Tavares? 1.

That alone should make you realize the error of your ways but it probably won't.
