Craig button has leafs as 4th best Canadian team for the up coming season

Why is this clown still employed.

He’s paid to stir up poop.

Same with the people saying the Canadian division would be a tough division.

The leafs are the only Canadian team that finished in the top 15 in the league. I am sorry but every Canadian team didn’t just get 10-15 places better over this offseason. It is true that a lot of the teams are similar in talent but they are similar in mediocrity.

We all know how tough it is to go from a bottom 15 team to a top 15 team. Buffalo has been supposed to make the jump for years.

Let's not pretend that the Leafs are head and shoulders above other teams.

Edmonton: 71 GP, 83 pts.

Toronto: 70 GP, 81 pts.

Winnipeg: 71 GP, 80 pts.

Calgary: 70 GP, 79 pts.

Vancouver: 69 GP, 78 pts.

Montreal: 71 GP, 71 pts.

Ottawa: 71 GP, 62 pts.

That's five teams who are basically the same, Montreal is hoping to be better, and Ottawa is Ottawa.

Yes

What I meant was "Dam up the Trans-Canada Highway, so we don't have to deal with the refugees once the province goes bankrupt."

So the Leafs finished with 1 or 2 points more than teams like Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg and now they're untouchable? Edmonton got 2 more points than the Leafs too.


The Leafs we're headed towards a 96 points season. 96 points is the same amount of points the Habs got 2 years ago when they missed the playoffs (granted it was the highest point total ever not to make it) but claiming the other teams are so mediocre they couldn't surpass them is arrogant and foolish.

And if you can't see how improved the Habs look on paper, you're just not giving them a fair shake. They might not be better than the Leafs, but the odds are they'll be better than last season.

In my humble opinion mind you.

Yeah, those people definitely missed the Enlightenment.

The rhetoric is scary when I read people saying a Biden win will destroy the country forever and Trump himself is saying religion and safety is at stake. Ratcheting up the stakes so high in the minds of resentful, unthinking people is irresponsible. You have rhetoric about a civil war. It's crazy.

What scares me is that both sides are existentially terrified that the other side will win. There will be absolute meltdowns on both sides. Republicans naturally scare me a whole lot more because of their religious fervor and gun zeal.

Whatever happens, I'm hoping for a landslide one way or the other (preferably for Biden). If this election is close there's going to be anarchy and chaos to the max.

Leafs are rounding the turn.

Flames are dead without T.J. That’s just a fact.

McDavid has had the taint.

I know. I know. I just get pissed off when somebody outright lies and misrepresents something by leaving out that part of the sentence after but..... Jonestown worked because they controlled all the information that was fed to the cultists. Trump creates his own reality for his followers by lying constantly, causing them to doubt everything even that wearing masks help save lives. So, it pisses me off when I see it.

What do you think we could get from Jonestown for Nylander?
- Canada Cup

Hey, I'll have you know I was part of the trade-Nylander-to-get-Petro parade.

Cool.
Hes reaching here.
- Fakepartofme

Cool.
You've convinced me.

Ummm maga has inspired shooters and murderers and attempted kidnappings.
But ok.

The comparison is absurd and disingenuous as (frank), but you be you.

Umm, i think the leafs finsihed with 81pts
Oilers - 83pts
Jets - 80pts
Flames - 79pts
Canucks - 78pts

So. "The jump" isnt that big for some.

But button does like to stir up sh!t. Works most times too.

Yes.
But you have to remember, some leafers picked the leafs to win the cup this year. The koolaid is strong in some.
The habs do look better on paper and if price turns it on, they could go on a 8 game heater and lose a few.
As for the leafs it really depends on what version of the leafs show up and how often they show up.
We'll see.

Cool.

Wasnt trying to.

Wow, hes really reaching.

Now that's a bold statement right there.

And remember: the Leafs may very well start the season with their customary February swoon.

That's what it took to get rid of you.... All these years.

Whatever it is, it would likely be in a severe state of decomposition. It would, however, still be faster than Simmonds, and would still block more shots than Nylander.
