Way to go, I think you said that last year against BB.

Well the leafs won the game 1 last year and still lost the series!

Trying something different this year.

I made some guarantees last year, I’m done doing that with this team.

Yes. But I have not been wrong.

Exactly; that's like comparing zilch and nada.

Every fan base needs an equal balance of sunshiners and doom and gloomers.

Leaf fans getting so much more efficient. Writing off series and firing everyone after one game.

Keefe needs to make some adjustments for sure. Id drop Ceci down to the bottom pair.

I wonder if the Leafs try some stretch passes to try and break up the NZ clogging

Not the biggest fan of rielly/Barrie.... But it did work much much better than rielly/ceci

They always want to rush judgement, like trade Nylander for any random top 4 D.

You f'n aced it again, man!

That cracked me up. Well done on her part.

Need more quickness back there to start breakouts before the forecheck gets going. Either quick little outlet passes or stretch passes if their D have joined the rush. If only we had someone like that sitting in the press box.

Roeper doing his taxes...

Roeper: it says here that I owe the government $5458?

Government: Yes. Please pay this by the last day of the month.

Roeper: But I thought I was in tax hell! All I heard all year was I was going to be tax offer sheeted!

Government: Uh sir, I don't know what a tax offer sheet is. Please pay what you owe. Thank you.

Roeper: But what about Lou on the Island? He's so screwed! He's in tax hell!

Government: Sir, I don't know who Lou is nor do I know anything about an Island. I do know that you owe $5458.

Roeper: That's not true! According to my calculations I only owe $545.80! I'm not in tax hell! You are!

Government: No. Your numbers are not accurate. You will be charged with income tax evasion if you don't pay us what you owe.

Roeper: Isn't it funny how Canucks fans make fun of my taxes when they are in tax Cap hell?

The team has not progressed, but the fans have!

They actually did under the coach in the regular season and 1 playoff game is not enough to judge,.

I have never understood how pointing out some other person/team/organization is in a bad position, somehow magically makes your own bad position "OK".

Leafs are certainly not the only team with flaws, or cap issues, but they definitely do have flaws and not a ton of flexibility to address them given the flat cap.

Then the usual suspects here mock anyone for suggesting that they may have to trade a big-name forward.

Nope, not enough to judge, yet.

I suggested the Leafs trade Nylander for a top 4 defenseman after they signed Tavares but that didn't go over too well.

Hyman looked awkward all night, anyone can be hit - need a little determination

But... two good things happened tonight
1) Leafs didn't lose
2) Montreal lost

So as promised : (I think i'll do a jig)

Great song, great movie. Thanks

His value was at it's lowest ever. Never trade a 22 year-old like that.

Compare his value now to a year ago, think Dubas can't trade him?

The annoying thing is, no one ever names this mysterious "top 4 D". Jack Haan revealed 2 days ago Montour was offered for Nylander. No thanks.

But people everywhere act like their flaws are bigger than every other team. The cap discussion alone proves this. Leafs without a doubt are the #1 choice for "Cap Hell". And it's funny, they were deemed in "Cap hell" once they had Nylander/Matthews/marner all playing in 2016-17. No one is doing that for teams like the Canucks or Rangers.

Dougie Hamilton, but I remember some in here thinking he might not even be a top 4 D 🤦🏻

"Uh, Trade Nylander for a top 4 D, Dubas is stooopid".

Do people not see Dubas was right not trading him? His value is much higher now.

If Dubas traded him for someone like Montour and Nylander scored 31 goals in only 70 games he's be getting crapped on for that.

Yeah, this mythical stud D partner to play with Rielly is only going to grow in lure the more we see Jones/Werenski shutting down Matthews' line.
