How the Leafs doing with all those great prospects ?

Guess we will find out this Thurs. at 10pm

All three are going to be in for the rookie of the year which I never heard of
I did not think they were going to be this fun to watch

Or just stop being a negative female genitalia all the time...

You were pretty negative about that Iranian ice queen from the other night. Maybe you should take your own advice

I can defend him a little bit, he did have a few deep pass interference calls and which wide receiver on our team going into the day did you even know his name? I mean Woods barely played. I get it, he misses reads, I can't say he does not and I do want him to have more yards, but I am not sure we expected him to tear it up this year.

I do think we need to draft another QB this year, and every year until we find a pure top 10 QB. I am still a little excited for Cardale Jones, but seeing how Dallas found their QB in 4th (?) round just makes me sad.

Cardale jones is not a starting QB and if we think he is, the Bills are in bigger trouble then I thought.

She warmed up that night...

everyone complained about the mediocre core we had back in the day ? And everyone is happy with this one ?

I thought we make a jump like the Panthers did

They went through the same suffering we did and I'm pretty sure everyone would want their core instead of ours right now

So...take 18 seasons of no playoff wins (only 2 appearances) and get one of the best ever players to play in the NHL to join your team as a Free Agent?

Sounds simple and quick!

Create it for yourself, you're the one that complains about everything.

I have very rarely on here ever seen someone say we can't talk about anything... but dogging about the same few things every day for over a year gets annoying

More of a reason than an excuse . Depends how you feel about it .
- cabin

B
That's not a reason teams go through injuries all the the team half of this team is third line player calling while other teams have prospects that step up and take the reins
I just don't get it

More like a fluke win Oilers are for real this year

If we beat the Leafs I might have a little hope

While it may have been a fluke, as you call it, the win still counts against one of the better teams in the league, at least right now.

People aren't going to agree it's human nature but to keep saying the same crap over and over isn't going to change anything. People can like Murray for what he has done or don't like him regardless, it will not change anything.

How they doing with their core ? Rather have ours .

Since this place has been SO joyful lately, I'd like to point out the ability to...you know...NOT respond to people you don't like/don't agree with/think are nuts/annoying/etc.

I'm not asking for everyone to be best of friends around here, but consider the bigger picture of what forums are as a whole - a community to bond with people and discuss our passion. Constant negativity does nothing to keep people coming and contributing, so add a little consideration beyond just the internet-standard of spewing poop at every chance you get.

The site (unfortunately) doesn't have an ignore function, but I'm pretty sure human brains are capable of it.

you give some of us way too much credit

What injuries does Toronto have? They have such young studs that people like to boast about...yet their record is worse than Buffalo's - a team with a legit top end prospect sidelined plus another 20 goal scorer with broken ribs.

I'll take standings over stats, no matter how much I'd like to see a leaderboard filled wit Buffalo players.

I'm just glad that they got these two wins back to back. I'd like to see them build off of it. Getting a win in Minny tomorrow would be great, especially after that game Thursday.

I'm still not happy that Bylsma seems to think it's ok to take the foot off the gas when they have the lead. And the stupid penalties need to stop. At the end of the day though, the only thing that really ends up mattering is what's in the W column, and they were able to add 2 W's this weekend.

I said their core
- GERBE!!!75PTS

Who is their core versus Buffalo's?

I'll be "spamming" that message a couple times throughout the day to bring attention back to it...maybe it'll help it sink in?

Risto is in some elite company right now in terms of avg. TOI (Weber, Karlsson, Keith) and his +/- isn't an outliar either

too many use how the game is played as a measuring stick. I use the win column.

How they doing with their core ? Rather have ours .

I mean they have one of the best young centers in game

One of the best elite Young defenseman

They tanked like us and they have a brighter future right now

I agree, specially on the penalty front. Though the silver lining being our PK is actually pretty solid

I guess I was excited to see him develop, but that is years away. How do the Browns find guys to put up yards every game (still dont win, I get that), but we only have 1 guy that can top 150 yards? I like Tyrod, but it does get sad that he can't get it done. His receivers did drop some balls yesterday, but he threw some bad ones too.

Could change tomorrow . The future sucks. Most people care about "Now"

- Havic3814

Exactly. The Philly game is the one that is the outlier in that category. It failed us big time in that game.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the team has work to do, but the two wins this morning are something they can build off of.

I think the first comment (not yours) was about the Panthers, not the Leafs. And now you are changing the team.
