His hit on Komagod...wasnt really a cheap shot.

He clipped him from behind after a whistle. Komarov didn't see him coming and didn't have the puck. What's not cheap about that?

Championship team >> more fun than Useless goon team >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Current Leafs

Useless goon team is simply at the bottom of the entertainment chain.

having a tough line-up - with at least one tough defender (Fraser) only happened during the lock-out season... and guess what that coincides with making playoffs.

the truth is that the game is too fast for guys like Orr, perhaps McLaren could contribute 6-7 minutes a night... but in the current version of the game the only way to have a real meaningful physicality in the line-up is if you have top 6 wingers who can look after themselves - e.g. Lucic.

the manner in which the rules are interpreted now doesn't allow for out and out goons any longer... and we all know what happens when you shorten your bench too much.

let's hope one of Broll or Devane can become a useful fourth line player - or Biggs somehow turns into a useful third liner.

Biggs?

He is being interviewed for a job a Payless Shoes.

Useless goon team is simply second on the entertainment chain.

Really should have finished his degree instead of going to the OHL. His mom must be pissed.

You'll notice how Gardiner's first reaction is to appeal to the ref for a penalty, Santo skate right past to the bench, and Kadri come in and stop, then go away. There's your team toughness right there

Relying on the refs or the league discipline has helped how exactly? How many unpunished cheapshots should the Leafs take?

When I saw it occur, I thought it was a little late...but nowhere near as bad as people on here were making it out to be.

Gardiner is a powder puff...

He was out for weeks?

On a play where he wasn't near the puck.

Fail.
Sample size not big enough.

The 14 game sample size from last year's collapse PROVES advanced stats were right all along.

are you ever going to move off of this view?

Perfect example of our team toughness

Boston - probably toughest team the year they win cup

LA - big tough team win cup

Chi - has a pretty tough team

Ana - has a big tough team

Those are analytics

are you ever going to move off of this view?
- senstroll

I probably am not going to change my mind ... but yeah, I could shut up about it for one freaking day.

Too bad there isn't much positive to discuss in Leafland for the last couple years
