Islanders will challenge for a top 3 spot if they get goaltending like last night. They will score more goals this year than last year. They don't need pajama boy to score goals. Glad he Is gone don't need him. Let him rot on this pathetic team that has done nothing.

To be fair he scored a ton last year too, leafs gave up 6 isles did that too it doesnt work you need d. If the leafs can play d they have as good a shot as anyone

So Ek is now our blogger?

Sorry oh high and mighty leaf fan, you havent won crap since 67, you probably havent seen a cup in your lifetime but i guess we should just give the leafs the cup. You have a goalie that has up and down years and terrible team d which is what wins in the post season. Win the cup then talk all the trash you want there paper champ
- Upstate_isles

The Islanders haven't won a Cup in 35 years. You'd think after your favourite team hasn't won in 15-20 years any insult to another team's lack of Cup success loses a helluva lot of credibility.

Also, the Penguins won their last Cup with the very definition of mediocre defense corps.

PS: That Tavares kid is pretty good, eh? Thanks for sending him our way!

Stop being a pompous d bag then. You act like your team has actually won something in the last 40 years, 40 years bro and youre talking trash. Its people like you ( arrogent pompous) that make people hate the leafs. You're a joke
- Upstate_isles

When did I act like we won a cup recently? And I never talked trash either. All I stated was you should come up with a better chirp. You're the one acting like a douchebag.

Actually it’s hard to beat that chirp. Mainly because it is so true. Calm down a bit, gather yourselves. If you try to brag about how things are going too much you’ll miss all the fun. Seriously. It seems like our 20+ years of success and contention flew by in like 16 years. Oh well, at least I got to enjoy those

I love how every fan base resorts to this insult, if you even want to call it that. Like (frank) me, you totally just ruined my day and hopes of a cup in the near future.

Come up with something more clever next time and not the same recycled garbage

Ok, so...... lets discuss how much will it suck when your team loses in the playoffs because they have no defense? Assuming they make the playoffs, that is.

But really....its 3 games in...the
Leafs are playing pond hockey out there, betting on the hope that they can out score the opponents each night. Good luck with that approach. Tavares is a lifetime +/- of like negative 42. Get used to that.

Barzal scored more. Haha. Only a rookie.

Playing for really bad Islanders teams will do that to players.

Seriously, what's your point with that? The Islanders were bad with Tavares on them so the Leafs will be bad with him on them?

I think the point was that he may get outscore while on the ice but makes up for it with volume.

the great Tom Petty had a song called "even the losers get lucky sometime".

we'll see next time we play your garbage team if you are so sarcastic.

Results will probably be different next game, but until than youve lost your right to trash talk.

It's 50 years, thanks.

Yeah, thanks a lot Islanders. The Sharks are taking that game out on Flyers collective arses tonight.

Isles need to get on the lose for Huges train. Once Lou deals Eberle, Ho-Sang, MDC, Boychuck (if he will waive) and Nelson. The tank will be on. They need to hurry it up already, all this winning is screwing it up. and by 'all this' I mean 2 games.

Every loss matters. The wings won a few games during a stretch at the end of the year and all of a sudden Montreal, Ottawa and Arizona drafted ahead of them

Another 2 goals tonight. Sucks having him on the leafs.

Oh, so its the teams fault he doesnt play a 2-way game and all the goals scored while he was on the ice arent his fault? OK.

I love when people here only read one fragment of a post and latch onto that....especially a guy different than who I was replying to- Leafs beware....dont go printing up Stanley Cup Champs shirts & hats just yet. Long season....

Not a chirp on Tavares, but 4 games in and not a single assist. Kinda weird to me. I know its only a few games in but he's usually a big "apple" guy....

Doesn't need the apples with Marner setting him up all day. But I'm sure JT will eventually start piling some up.

Horrible.

Plus he marner feeding him pucks.

JT has been awesome so far.

It's called the truth, it doesn't have to be clever. 52 years of embarrassing hockey at worst and mediocre hockey at best and yet you guys act like you're Habs fans or something.
