Two, three years ago the Leafs had an identity. They had a swagger. They weren't the most physical team in the world but they were going to dance around you and make you look silly if you tried to skate with them.

Today they aren't that. Shanny shifted the focus and direction of the team's depth acquisitions trying to graft "team toughness" onto a team instead of instilling a culture of it.

Bingo is not wrong.

They’ve been adding gritty types with limited success since Clarkson. Right now, Bertuzzi is an offensive drain and a defensive liability and Knies hasn’t developed enough to be an effective power forward yet.

Cause i asked her.
My bad

Edit:
Ffs CC. At least i asked.

They should nail Rielly to the cross.

Do you remember what the Leafs were for a decade before Shanahan?

I feel like they just don't want to go back to a team that doesn't even make the playoffs.
- Scabeh

Question: Do you think the Leafs have achieved adequate success during Shanahan’s tenure as Pres?

In 10 years here’s what he did…

2014: He tanked the team

2015: Tank again. Drafted Matthews.

2016: Made the playoffs (great success! (Borat))

2017: 1st rd exit

2018: 1st rd exit

2019: 1st rd exit

2020: missed playoffs (lost to awful CLB team play-in)

2021: 1st rd exit vs Habs

2022: 1st rd exit

2023: beat badly injured TB team, got crushed in 2nd rd.

2024: ???

They should nail Rielly to the cross.

Whenever I see those preview screenshots on videos like that, I cringe.

I really wish creators/streamers would use better preview thumbnails for their content.

People are overthinking this.

Really the answer is easy. The blue line, with Muzzin, needed one more body. They lost Muzzin and they squeezed all the juice out of Gio and Brodie ...they've been two good blue liners short ever since.

Let’s not pretend the Leafs weren’t in a fantastic position to acquire those types via trade this year.

Guys like Bertuzzi aren’t having the desired effect, because Matthews, Nylander, and Marner are who they are. They’ll never engage in after the whistle shenanigans.

But whatever, pay them $11.5M. The Leafs just lit a massive billboard on the Gardiner saying “play exactly like Nylander does, and we’ll pay you $11.5M. Play like Hyman or Kadri, and we’ll trade you.”

In every Leafs fan mind, they’re only one small tweak away from winning it all
