I was very intimidated by Tampa. Didn't even watch the playoffs. It was a lock they'd win the Cup. Wait why is Craig Berube holding the Stanley Cup?

Bettman rigged it. That’s why he gets booed. I connected it all. Suck on it!

Tampa intimidated everyone.



Lost in 4...in Round 1.

tampa had a lot of serious hidden injuries that specifically started game 1 and not a moment earlier

nothing can change my mind

Good for youe prostate.

21 male orgasms a month after age 40 reduces risk of prostate cancer.

Lolol fool's gold

Lol.. you follow me?

Leafs have much more talent than the cup champs, Ridiculous to say they are not a contender.,

Two defensemen hurt. poop PK. poop PP. Ander5en.


I blame Barrie’s plus/minus.
- Steven_Seagull

Andersen is good. I think he just needs to play less. He slowly looks drained as the year gets to a close. Leafs need a backup that can handle 20 maybe 25 games.

I better get a new blow up doll.

We can, but I don't think they do. I think they looked at his usage and think he'll do better with a solid partner like Rielly or Muzzin. Ceci played with garbage D partners; fringe NHLers for the most part and only like 21% of the time with Chabot (where they both had their best numbers playing together).

I think we can safely expect a more physical, grittier Gardiner, but with the same mental lapses from time to time. If paired with a solid partner, that should be enough to keep him in our top 4.
- gravyface

Interesting perspective. Someone put up his partners over his career. That also was enlightening lol.

Maybe he isn't as bad as we've been told... We'll see I guess.

And for those complaining about wanting more sandpaper and grit, for what it's worth, we did also get Harpur. Supposedly he sucks even worse than Ceci, but he is 6'6 and supposedly has a mean streak.

Lol.. you follow me?

Please clean it occasionally.

BTW true story, I have a recruiter friend who did a SKYPE interview and the guy being interviewed had a blow-up doll in the background,.

They have good players. Ya. And? Who are they intimidating when they went 500 after December last year? Unless your saying Barrie replacing Gardiner now make them a legit contender.

500 the second half.

We’ll be fine, most teams need a few tweaks. I read an article about Barrie when the Leafs were looking at him back in 16, the Leafs wanted him and he was at the bottom of the barrel in analytics. He just needs to be paired with a stay home D ( and no it doesn’t mean the D is poopty ) last thing you want is 2 guys who jump and pinch all the time. IMO

And I’m out, September will be fun...some new faces always brings some excitement regardless if they’re good or bad. 🤘🏻🤓🤘🏻

If I could ask Dubas one question, it would be:

Why did Columbus not only beat, but sweep Tampa?

I’m curious as to what his response would be.

Minor details.

Who did the St Louis blues intimidate in the first half of last year?
- Leafs43

The blues were a mess last year under Yeo. I don;t know why he was doing what he was doing but it was brutal. Berube completely changed the way they played and ice time distribution. It's a weird one for sure.

I also wouldn't go so far as to say the Blues change in the second half is the other side of the coin with the Leafs in the second half. Games get tougher and players rise. Boston made up huge ground the second half also let's not forget. Cream rises.

I had a masive issue with that. They were locked-in at 3rd for weeks with nowhere to go and Mcbackup barely played.

I hear they're expensive. Maybe get a refurbished one.

Someone mentioned earlier that Dubas is thinking of having those two together. Although Babs might put them with other partners just to troll Dubas, so who knows what we'll see when the new season starts.

I love how Gardiner, Zaitsev and Hainsey have gotten so much better since July 1st. LOL

- Thecakeisalie

Harpur is genuinely garbage. Another prototypical "defensive defenseman" who gets caved in on shot attempts and can't move the puck. He'll probably be a Marlie.
