Tkachuk will cheap shot Marner or Nylander next game. Guaranteed.
- AdamFrench

So just like last game?

And the game before that?

I think that in the state Tkachuk was in (or will be in) he might not even recognize which player to avoid / target...
- MaximusAurelius

Well good thing they're playing the habs next.

There are five other Canadian teams that hate Tkachuk.

Want to bet a beer somebody flips a puck at him in the next three weeks?

The temper tantrum is going to make his life a little more difficult, as opposing players now know they can out-rat the rat.
- Atomic Wedgie

Wouldn't that be something eh?

Hilarious bit of Leafs hate in the Mirtle tweet thread:

James Mirtle
@mirtle
Auston Matthews is now on pace for 35 goals this season in just 55 games.

I say he does it.

(That's a 53-goal pace in an 82 game season, for those curious. So it's pretty, pretty good.)

He'll never crack 50 in a season. Just not in that league of players

@mirtle
he was at 47 in 70 last season, give him a few more games and he would’ve.
- Atomic Wedgie

Litterally one of the best goal scorers in the league, he unequivocally is in that league.

He was on pace for 55 last year, buy he'll never get there

Despite my location still being completely ridiculous.

I think Muzzin might be the most important defenseman for the Leafs to stabilize the whole defense.
- Scabeh

By the end of the year you’ll delete the attribution to Tanner and start bragging that you called Muzzin > Jones before anyone. Don’t think I’m not on to you.

Well good thing they're playing the habs next.

He'll probably just turtle at the sight of our huge ass defense.

You love to see it.

I highly doubt it.

I don't know what the hell Rielly is doing out there this year.

It's like Gardiner, but with 75% more hockey instinct.

It’s the beard. Leafs have a solid beard on each pairing.
- Steven_Seagull

If only Marner could grow a mustache, we would have a dynasty.

He'll probably just turtle at the sight of our huge ass defense.
- Scabeh

Yup, right after riding Price's head like a hobby horse

Wouldn't that be something eh?

- Scabeh

I actually predict the feint-flip - at the end of the game, a guy will skate in front of him, overly-exaggerate like he's going to flip it at him, but not actually fire the puck.

Which will be even better.

I thought Rielly had some good games, but last night... oh boy

Not a great game

I hope we see more baby ratkuck meltdowns.

It's those vertical strips you have down the sides of the pants - they don't look slimming.

It's hard to believe I could hate the franker more than his father.

0 respect for that family.

How the frank do you keep Roger Clemens out of the Hall of Fame?

Ridiculous.

Yes, he was juiced.

So was everyone.

95% of you would still trade Tkachuk for Nylander, correct?

Yes. The embarrassment of having him on the team would go away with a cup win.

Same reason they can keep Curt Schilling out.

- mr.sir

Not with Keefe as coach.

If you had a guy like Torts or Babs or Keenan, maybe he could stamp the stupid stuff out, while continuing to allow the guy to be an agitator.

But this is just embarrassing. We traded Kadri for a reason.

Lou

w/Andersen: 104pt pace (.918)
w/McElhinney: 96pt pace (.925)

Dubas

w/Andersen 109pt pace (.913)
w/Campbell 113pt pace (.917)

95% of you would still trade Tkachuk for Nylander, correct?
- mr.sir

Yes

Hate him when he’s not on your team and love him when he is.

He’s in the Marchand league.

- mr.sir

The funny thing is, people think Tkachuk is a better guy to have in the playoffs. He's been a complete playoff no show.

The "Grit" narratuve leads him to being badly overrated.

But not everyone in the HOF.
