its going to take a big shakeup

going on too long

- senstroll

A playoff run would win the fans back.

Thats so far away though...unless we see a dominant Leafs team the fans are just not into it enough. MLSE can't be happy.

I don't see a move happening tbh. There is a chance Rielly gets moved but really all I see in terms of significance.

If Muzzin finds his game and Sandin/Dermott continue to impress its certainly possible.

Ryan Whitney also said he could identify each one of his teammates by looking at their penis.

Again thats such BS.
The fans base is larger, but the margins are nowhere near as big you believe. Its obvious raps hate or envy.
With the growing number of immigrants to the city, the raps fan base has grown and will continue to grow. Leafs have probably peaked, there still will be new fans for sure, but not as many while they continue to be an international joke.
Its naiive for you to think there isnt a large amount of fans that invest their time into watching and following the raps.

Before the championship?

No chance, it was a small fanbase for Toronto standards. 95% of fans were bandwagoning, me being one of them.

well that's part of the problem - a few seconds of Spezza.

he needs to send out a differently looking PP unit to "start the powerplay" - very visibly different - but that I mean no Marner no Rielly/Sandin and one of Simmonds/Ritchie for the net front. Having Marner in the "bumper" position is useless - as he is never threat to shoot - I think Nylander in the bumper is a better option - he has a quick release and actually likes to shoot

- BorjeFan4Ever


Agree, Marner seems to generate more opportunities SH than on the PP. Put him on the second unit against the other team's second PK unit, but for (frank) sakes not on the point.

The funny thing about the Leafs-Hurricanes "rivalry" is that the same year as the Zamboni game, the Leafs ripped the Hurricanes a new one - coming back from a deficit to score 3 goals in 59 seconds (and with a Hurricanes timeout in there) and win 8-6.

https://www.nhl.com/news/...fs-game-recap/c-312966702

It was probably the most entertaining regular season game I've ever seen.

But NOBODY talks about it.

It's just Zamboni-gate again and again and again.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Playoffs is a different matter, we are in week 3 of the season. The PP has sucked ass for a long time - since last winter I believe. Edmonton is winning games despite lousy goaltending and a lousy defense. They do have the best PP in the NHL.Keefe has not materially changed the PP at all despite it failing badly. Sends out the top guys for 90 seconds, they skate around and create few shots but look very good untill they cough up a 2 on 1. And the second group Spezza and the plumber crew actaully do better in less time. This is on the coach and his staff. Pressure and shots. Pass Pass shot for me instead of Pass Pass Pass Pass button hook Pass, backpass to the dman, button hook lose the puck

Doesn't that tell you, it is the top guys not performing? I don't think Keefe has a different strategy for the PP1 or PP2 units.. They should both shoot and create traffic in front.

Come on, bud.. You can't believe Keefe is telling Matthews PP unit to skate around in circles and then simultaneously tell Spezza's 2nd PP unit to only shoot.

Newspapers need to figure out that they should allow customers that don't live in their immediate area to pay 50 cents to read an article.

I'm tired of seeing something on Twitter, and going to the Des Moines Register or the Kansas City Tribune, only to see I'd have to get a subscription.

Bish, I'm here for one article only.
