my eyes are great....infact they look at the standings right now and see the leafs 3 pts away from not even being a playoff team.............I would think a "cup contender" would be a little further ahead htan that.

Cool, now do the standings since the coaching change

No, I do not think the Leafs can win this year. Mainly I don't like our goaltending, and I don't think the team has the maturity or willingness to "pay the price", mostly that means a commitment to team defense is lacking

Yeah it has been a rough year overall so far. They have also had significant injuries to Dermott, Tavares, Marner, Johnsson, Moore, Muzzin, Rielly, Mikheyev. All significant pieces. They have not had their full lineup for even ONE game this year. They have also had among the toughest schedules so far and have among the easiest remaining.

You are flat out discounting a core whose biggest stars are in their early 20's and whose two best prospects are in their main area of need? Good lord.

Remember when the Sens had the 2 best players on the planet, not already in the NHL.

I was assured this was true. It wasn't.

Who was that? Some crap like Drake Batherson? Alex Formenton?

It gave me fits of laughter watching senatards go all gaga over those two when they were drafted. Years later they're still AHL caliber players.

Yeah, just like the Canucks had 3 of the best 2 goalies on the planet a few years back. Who was the third? Impending superstar goalie Eddie Lack?

Ironically 2 of them ended up as Devils and neither are their starter.

I have been informed, in this thread, that Batherson is top-10, easily.

I even forget who the magical two were. I think one was Colin White. The other may have been Chabot? At least Chabot is a good player. Neither was worth of the tongue-bathing Spatso gave them.

I was the first person to accuse Vancouver of having 3 of the top 2 goalies.

It was while I was mocking their fanbase during the Luongo hockey-trade derp.

My Aetherial account was on a year-long ban, and my dispute with a Vancouver troll landed my Alt a 3-year ban.

Maybe.

So that would mean Brown, White, Chabot were 3 of the top 2 players on the planet not playing in the NHL.

Batherson is nothing special, never thought he was personally. He'll be an okay 2nd/3rd liner most likely.

Chabot got so overhyped it's crazy. I recall watching the world juniors thinking he really was not that impressive. I thought the same of Barzal in the world juniors. Canada kept winding up and sending Barzal down the middle to break the zone, and he rarely ever managed to do much with it. It was pissing me off watching them try it so many times and watch it fail so many times. turds fans got all excited when he put up a bunch of points at the beginning of last season, but he tailed off pretty heavily, and has never come anywhere near that pace again. And he's not really all that young anymore. Going on 23.

I saw a senatard mention, in reference to Chabot, a while back "this franchise has been blessed with 2 generational dman now" and I nearly fell off my chair. He's going to be a decent, not great, point producer, nothing more. Tyson Barrie-ish in my opinion.

he's already better than barrie and he's what, 21 or 22?. chabot is probably already better than any dman the leafs have. he's all they got though. it's a trainwreck outside him and if they don't get lucky with the lottery he might have to do everything himself before he leaves to play for a better team once he's a UFA

You think much better of him than i do. Hes similar to karlsson. Produces offensively, but not as much as karlsson. A mess defensively, but not as bad as karlsson.

this poop is still going?

shouldn't you be more concerned with the defensive messes on your own team. I don't think the leafs have a single defenceman who actually knows how to play D. Rielly is an abomination, Barrie and Ceci play D like they're still 9 year olds playing peewee, your rookies are laughable in their own end. muzzin, not bad, but probably gone anyways.

The sens are a joke, but Chabot is infinitely better than anything the leafs have on their current roster or in the pipeline.

is this supposed to be insulting to me or something? Congrats, you're team is better than the bottom feeders. Is this why leaf fans are mostly arrogant turds, because they only compare their team against all the teams at the bottom of the standings? You guys are like Jacksonville Jaguar fans being arrogant, but only comparing your team to the Cleveland Browns or Cincinnati Bengals

what's more relevant:

Tampa
Boston
Washington
Calgary
Pittsburgh

that all of those teams are better overall than the leafs? absolutely

maybe I could remove 1 dot between florida and Toronto....

if all your judging is every teams top 4 players....it's hard to argue that the leafs are right there at the top of the league........unfortunately for you guys, it takes more than that to be a legit cup contender, and all of those teams are significantly more "complete" than the leafs. the only team I might take off are the Islanders, as looking at their roster I keep waiting for them to tumble, but they haven't tumbled in more than a season and a half....so it probably wont' happen.

yup, and like I said, the leafs are the Jacksonville jaguars. every year people predict that they'll be really good going into the season, and every year they find new and increasingly spectacular ways to fail.
