We need to lose, dammit. Every year that they go undefeated in pre-season, it creates the stupid "October Cup" mentality and they poop the bed. I'd rather them be middle of the pack during those times and turn it up in the latter months.

That or just (frank)ing be consistent year round, god damn them

Wow.

Even the media is tanking out there...

I'm still a believer he should have been sent back too. Are you telling me he was/is perfect with no flaws?

I just think guys should work on their weaknesses in a place where their confidence won't be hurt when a mistake is made.

I think Nylander should play overseas or on the Marlies. A few bad games with the Leafs could hurt his confidence. We have nothing but upside if the team waited.

Bingo!
Unless he blows the barn doors off.

9 Games on the Leafs, then off to lead the Marlies to the Calder cup. I'd much rather he play in NA

They were 5-2-1 last season.

Yeah, I know. It's just the same song and dance every year. Now I can feel that all-too-familiar glimmer of hope starting to creep in and I know, I just (frank)ing KNOW that it's going to be crushed into smithereens by April.

This team has broken me...

Tallinder running over Bernier was very Ranger-esque. That poop ain't gonna fly
- TheThrill

It was.
Send him packing now!

Dont give Tallinder a 2nd chance to finish off Bernier !!

Dont let it creep in.

Remember its pre-season....it means ABSOLUTELY nothing.
Would you be freaking out if they were 0-2?

Wasn't one of you guys trying to trade JVR just last week



couple nice goals

Team going to Ottawa is going to get hammered

Bibeau is in goal.

He doesn't let goals in

Could Bibeau be ready to be the Marlies #1?

dont hate me; i think hes already better than Reimer

They were 5-2-1 last season.
- Fakepartofme

Yeah I know, there isn't really any rhyme or reason to it or any sort of correlation between pre-season and regular. I'm just in thick of the Blue and White disease right now.

I'm super glad Hockey's back, but I just know my heart will be ripped out by the end.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are literally a first-hand trip through the stages of manic-depression

You could take a year off and just watch a variety of hockey games.

- Lucas Neilson

I think he's on par with where Reimer was when he was the up-and-coming stud goalie in the system.

Eventually, the kid's play has to fall down to earth, right?

See this is all true. I love when other people finally see it.

Well....lets wait until the kid has played in NHL game.

But if he turns out to be.....TRADES!!!!!

- Lucas Neilson

He's the same goalie. Big, fairly athletic, needs to work on rebounds. Plays on confidence, which is very high right now.
