Thanks for clarifying. And here I thought that you were just an unimaginative, low grade troll.

Nylander, Matthews and Marner are in the top 15 in the league for scoring.

It's franking bizarre that Leafs fans would accuse them of not caring.

But you know who really cares?

Reaves!
- Atomic Wedgie

I didn't say they don't score enough points.
Remember Marchand slew-footing Lily? And their lack of response? And the hundred other incidents that have happened since this core was forged? It's their lack of push-back that's the problem. If your core is soft, it doesn't matter what you put around it, I don't think they'll be capable enough to have a real shot a cup. Talent can take you far, but only so far.

Then again, I do understand your point that maybe it'd depth scoring and bad defense that's sinking the Leafs, and toughness has a lot less to do with it than I personally think. If that's the case, the problem is CAP management, a whole different issue.

Either way I don't see how people can look at this team and call it a contender.

Nylander and Brodie for Risto and Konecny.

Holy #*%$, give it up. Nylander is NEVER getting traded.

Willy for Necas and Antti Raanta's bloated corpse

He was available.

He submitted his 10 team no-trade list.

No one was “falling over” trying to get him, lol.

I’m sure some teams would’ve kicked the tires, but no one values him more than Shanny does.

Watch, he’ll be a 65-70pt player the rest of his career, and never figure out how to play defence.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

we don't know that and pageau and whatever was offered wasn't what the Leafs needed.
you don't trade a point game player ish for table scraps.

Jones injured and Hildeby backing up tonight, BTW

OMG you guys I figured it out..


“If you wanna win, you need a Finn.”


Risto is the missing link.


Dopey No-mullah and Pancake Ronny are frauds and will never see NHL ice.

NO that is the sound of the hammer hitting the nail squarely
- TrueGrit

yeah, your thumb nail eh.

This is the sound of the Leafs living rent free in your head.

You are more obsessed with the Leafs than the Leaf fans in here, congratulations.

yes, he admit it earlier.

So just so I'm clear here, you want Matthews to be punching guys?

Matthews, who leads the league in goals, who has won the Richard Trophy twice and was the 2022 Ted Lindsay Award and Hart Memorial Trophy winner, should also be the team enforcer?

And if so, should McDavid also be punching faces?

This is the way.

Why was Rielly so frustrated?

Poor coaching.
Average goaltending.
Lazy turnovers in o-zone.
Lazy turnovers in d-zone.
Lazy turnovers in neutral zone.
Lack of hustle.
Lack of urgency.
Lack of giving a crap.

Maybe he was thinking about why Keefe changed the D pairings end of 1st, start of 2nd that cost the team 2 goals. Start the game with Benoit on LD and McCabe on RD but then switch the tandems while moving McCabe to LD and Benoit to RD. Maybe he was wondering why he took a discount when no others did. Maybe he was wondering why the last guy back at the blue line threw the puck into the opponents shin pads. Maybe he was wondering why the Leafs got no PP during the game.

Biggest mistake was Shanahan hiring Kyle Dubas.
Loser fan boy Shanny punted Lou for wonder boy Dubas. Shanny’s hiring of Dubas is directly responsible for the Leafs lack of success.

Maybe that’s why Rielly is frustrated, who knows?

I’ve only accused Nylander of not caring.

Which has been proven.

Or at least it’s been proven that he cares less now that he’s been paid.

He’ll have one more outburst of production, starting in about 7 and a half years, and will only last until his next contract is signed.

Not sure what else SJ has to offer, but the Leafs should be picking at the bones there..

Well… it’s mostly him.

Because he visibly doesn’t try. He avoids contact. He’s scared of scrums.

In that photo of Stamkos whaling away on Matthews, you can see Marner standing helplessly off to the side, watching the assault on his teammate, and he looks bored. He looks like he's imagining himself in his zen place.

Grab somebody and start dancing!

I wouldn't hate it if he fought. If Matthews and McDavid squared up, it would mean one of the most entertaining games of the decade, not just for the fight itself but for whatever events took place for it to happen.

I'm running out of ways to tell you a very simple concept.

I like it when the Leafs play mad. I've seen Matthews play when he's mad. He's better.
Play with tenacity. Finish a body check. Be a team that's harder to play against. This team is too soft.

It'd be cool to see this team wake up and play with intensity against teams we're supposed to be rivals with. The Leafs have undeniably more talent than the Sens, and they lost to them again. Why? To me, it was because the Leafs looked like they didn't care if they lost.
