You are the king of being reactionary...positively or negatively.

Perfect fit for the Leafs

Matthews is walking in 3 years. Why would he stay with this loser franchise?
- Steven_Seagull

That idea would sell me more if the team people claim he's going to wasn't in far, far worse shape.

neat

We'll see. Lots of examples of teams that have good runs but are still bubble teams.
- Zezel

NJ Devils.

Arizona Coyotes.

2012. Hilariously reminds me a lot of this playoffs.

Two bubble teams who made it deep. NJ made the finals and missed the playoffs the next year.

Coyotes never won a round again.

Perfect fit for the Leafs
- Garnie

Absolutely.

Being a Leaf fan is unhealthy.

Watching all these poor suckers get too high and too low..where is there health at?

Can I?
- Scabeh

NO - and stop being nice and humble bragging - pick a lane.

Tell us you feel bad for us and it will get better or just troll like Benny the Bozo, Horseface, poophawk (the one from the west coast that is) or Spazzzzoooo.

Also (frank) Corey Perry.

There now I feel better, I like Carey Price and always hope to see him win the ultimate prize in hockey.........................




















Internationally.

Yep.

There’s no key to a cup, I’m sorry to break it to you.
- Santo_44

Actually, it HAS been proven that spending half your salary on four players won't win a Cup.

So, there are keys to NOT winning a Cup, and your boy Dubas is holding them.

If it's Habs/Isles I really think NHL needs to look at the officiating in the playoffs. They are killing themselves in terms of marketing, Betteman loves "Parity", but that doesn't sell the game.

then bring in Connor Garland
Call it the "Tre Connor" Line..

Bring in Landeskog and the 2nd line will be Landeskog-Engvall-Nylander will be called the "Tre Kronor" line
- PatC80

I like this more and more - who cares about stats etc. just build your line up so that you can have cool names for the lines.

How? Because the Leafs are the only team that has and haven't won in a small sample size?

Sorry I don't buy that.

Its hilarious because there were thousand tabs fans exactly like you complaining about this team all year saying they need a retool and now look at them...Now they have the "keys" to win a cup

The mortal of the story is to stop listening to fans like you.

I can't be a bumhole like Benny or that other troll who made an account 2 weeks ago, it's not my style.

But I won't lie, after cheering for this team for so long, seeing all the highs and lows of the last 25 years... It's a great feeling.

You'd be fine with it if the Leafs were playing in the SCF.

No team ever won a cup spending half the cap on 4 forwards. The Leafs are the only team dumb enough to try. Great success so far. So much evidence that’ll it work. So little evidence to suggest to won’t… Stay the course. There’s always next year.

- gergeswillems

Uh, yeah. But Leafs are exciting to watch and have superstars.

NHL allowing hooking, cross checks, their biggest stars to get mugged is such a horrible direction in terms of markertng

As someone who watched every Habs game, I think they are pretty damn exciting to watch.

I hate to break it to you, Kreskin, but "fans" like you and me are irrelevant. It's the GMs that build the teams. Bergevin built a playoff team using a proven model, and Dubas holds keys that have never opened the lock.

You are exactly like the Habs fans complaining that they team were built horribly...now look at them.

Use it as an example to stop being so low all the time. At the end of the day its completely pointless because there are no keys to win or not win a cup.

You build a good team like the Leafs have and you make tweaks to try and improve your chances each year.

This is such a lazy, dumb narrative. Yo really think if they all took less and Leafs could afford 1 more good player you'd see different results? The core players are not coming through at all. Leafs without a doubt have more talent than 3 of 4 teams remaining.

I see the habs best players playing their best in the playoffs. It has nothing to do with them having more talent or 'Depth".
Carey Price makes over 10 million and he's coming through when it matters. If he did not, Habs would be out in the 1st round.

Winning is exciting.
- gergeswillems

Nah. Regular season individual point totals is where it’s at. So many banners. My personal favourite is the “Finish 4th in League Scoring After Playing the Same 6 Teams over 56 Games.” Stanley Cups are sooooo last generation.

No there are plenty of fans like you.

Plenty of fans like you are celebrating with their fans right now about being in a SCF. And all of them screamed to trade Price and re tool the team because of how it was built.

If everyone took less they'd be winning. Gotcha.

You know what’s not a key to win? Spending half the cap on 4 forwards. Stay the course.
