you've soured on Matthews like I've soured on Marner


Skalapy was right about pencil neck Mariner
- PatC80

Oh I havent soured on Matthews.....but if he leaves in 3 years and the leafs havent won a cup by then....I wont care that he leaves.
Or marner

Or willie.

Matthews signed a 5 year extension, Ovechkin signed a 13 year extension.
- Steven_Seagull

Pretty certain that Dubas and Leafs management will offer Matthews a large contract extension the first chance they get..

If in 3 years the leafs havent won a cup with matthews....I'll be perfectly fine with him facking off to anywhere.
- Fakepartofme

exactly, as you should be. i should've added Vegas as well, that seems very possible as well and to be honest since its unlikely you walk him to free agency, it might happen in 2 years.

Matthews signed a 5 year extension, Ovechkin signed a 13 year extension.
- Steven_Seagull

Yes, because cap circumvention contracts were permitted

There is a lot of luck involved.

If not the best teams would win every year.

The NBA is a good example of the best teams winning most often than not...in the NHL there's a solid chance Ottawa would have made it to the the conference finals at least in the North...Which is sad to think about.

In what sport does a team like the NJD make the finals and miss the next year? Or the Sens go on a deep run and miss?
- Santo_44

The team who wins the stanley cup is the season's champion and the best team of that year.

It doesn't matter what you think.

Your argument is essentially, there are no keys to winning a Cup, and you also need to get really lucky.

Ultimately, you have absolutely nothing to say about hockey.

Because you know absolutely nothing about hockey.

Is Santo actually Tanner?

Pretty certain that Dubas and Leafs management will offer Matthews a large contract extension the first chance they get..
- PatC80

And he will sign because he won't let it sit for a year and risk injury.

Oh and Islanders will regress.
- RogerRoeper

That record is so broken, it's a miracle it's still playing.

Oh lord

Imagine if Caps fans said that about Ovi? No cup ever for them
- Santo_44

you actually dont know if they could have won a cup without him.
Maybe could have in a different year....or maybe not.

Either way, Matthews is no Ov right now.

Well there is a method to winning, specially in the NHL. Its been shown time and time again, sure there are outliers that occur, but that gonna happen.

Will having 40m tied to 4 forwards who are all kinda soft, except maybe JT be an outlier one day...dunno. But so far its been a complete failure
- Fakepartofme

timely scoring, playing dirty and great goaltending are the three keys to winning

Pretty certain that Dubas and Leafs management will offer Matthews a large contract extension the first chance they get..
- PatC80

With all that cap space from a flat cap? I guess Willy walks in FA that year.

Is Santo actually Tanner?
- Steven_Seagull

The similarities these last few weeks have been baffling to say the least.

Matthews signed a 5 year extension, Ovechkin signed a 13 year extension.
- Steven_Seagull

Only if that were the norm these days.

Oh lord

Imagine if Caps fans said that about Ovi? No cup ever for them
- Santo_44

Ovie is the exception to the rule, not the rule. there are a lot more stars that never win than Ovie's who eventually get there.

I wonder who he thinks is the greatest band if all time.

With all that cap space from a flat cap? I guess Willy walks in FA that year.
- Steven_Seagull

That flat cap means stars salaries won't rise much at all. Works both ways

The similarities these last few years have been baffling to say the least.
- Scabeh

Don't be mad that there's luck involved in your Habs being in the SCF.

They are not even close to being the best built team but here they are.

Again happy for you but no need to get triggered and call people names(Tanner) when you hear the word "luck".

Oh I havent soured on Matthews.....but if he leaves in 3 years and the leafs havent won a cup by then....I wont care that he leaves.
Or marner

Or willie.
- Fakepartofme

Oh, ummm... Well, I uhhh... I ummm... I've completely soured on Marner.. This is awkward...

Matthews and Eichel will lead the Leafs to a Cup win soon.. Marner will have great regular seasons in Buffalo

Pretty certain that Dubas and Leafs management will offer Matthews a large contract extension the first chance they get..
- PatC80

I would think so.

Ovie is the exception to the rule, not the rule. there are a lot more stars that never win than Ovie's who eventually get there.
- Ross77

I'd like to know how many stars won before 23 compared to ones that won after 23.

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.
- Scabeh

Um not sure how to break this to you but this is the definitely the wrong place to complain about that if your timeline is that you waited "25 years" and you feel that is "so long"! lol

Just saying as it related to suffering as a fan and how long is long we are the reigning champs.


Do agree on the bumholes coming out of the woodwork but it's to be expected as the Leafs live rent free in the heads of many. I can't imagine the highlight of my day being to login here, run to a Leafs blog to troll about a team the Leafs played being successful ( and for some while being a fan of a team that didn't even make the playoffs). How sad a life must that be?

Oh, ummm... Well, I uhhh... I ummm... I've completely soured on Marner.. This is awkward...

- PatC80

Eichel wont be leaf...I really cant see it.

Rangers or a Knight maybe.

Arizona, ROTFL.
- RogerRoeper

cause your track record for being right is so bang on.

Don't be mad that there's luck involved in your Habs being in the SCF.

Again happy for you but no need to get triggered and call people names(Tanner) when you hear the word "luck".
- Santo_44

I'm not triggered, my team is going to the Stanley cup finals.

It's not name calling, you have the exact same narrative. It's not my fault.

I would think so.
- Fakepartofme

The idiot fans aren't going to make him want to stay here any more that's for sure
