  1. I'm happy for Marner and Vegas, they've got a good player on the ice who will put up numbers and someone who'll add character to their dressing room.
    We'll all be watching, I hope it all works out as I expect.

  2. Mitch advanced stats are hilarious. Now do Captain Hairline, who is inarguably the worst big game player in Toronto and arguably the league.

  3. .9 points per game in the playoffs doesnt suck lol what? Playoff hockey is much more intense so of course his stats will be lower. he's soft as butter though. He can play on a contender as long as they got some bruises who can play.

  4. Roy, a 4th line center in LV….wow, just dreadful. We need to get younger, bigger, faster, skilled, tougher….players like Knies….come on man….Roy, lolllllllllllllll.

  5. Marner gets his 8 years. Vegas dumps 3M in salary on a dime a dozen bottom 6 player. It's a win-win. Great job helping everyone out!

  6. Marner sucked infront of the camera. He was awkward. He sucked when the games got physical. He would classically disappear in that type of game in the playoffs. BUT regardless this is poor asset management. You should never lose an all-star player for nothing. Dubas started off this mess and Tre finished it off. Poor management – period……Don't tell me Roy is the return. He is a salary dump from vegas. Dime a dozen player. Leafs are worse this year than last year. Not looking good in leaf land.

  7. Something is really wrong with this city, fans, and media. The way we treat our superstars is shameful. No wonder he wanted to leave, I would too. Take a hometown pay cut for what? To be abused by fans and media? What a joke.

  8. All the star Vegas players that have won are not going to like Marner getting paid more than they do! Marner has won NOTHING! This could be catastrophic the Knights morale.

  9. How the hell does Vegas have 12mil? In fairness I haven’t really looked at the numbers, but on the surface with the ltir maneuvers they’ve had in recent years I can’t help but be a bit bewildered.

  10. Considering that Mitch Marner's trade hasnt actually gone through yet, it would be funny if Marner refuses to waive his NMC.

  11. Wouldn't it have been funny if after the Leafs signed Marner, they said "just kidding!" on the trade to Vegas 🤣

  12. So disingenuous to put Mitch's stats up without any team context.
    Checkout Auston Matthews stats
    Just as bad if not worse playoff performer. But Mitch takes the crap because no one will criticise the Golden Child #34.

    Auston Matthews

    Reg Season. Playoffs

    Goals/Game 0.637 0.38

    Points/Game 1.15 0.485

    Shooting % 15.8 9.2

    That's with Mitch assisting on 20% of Matthews' goals (1 in 5).

  13. Mark Stone is a different leader, Mitch is going to come here and finally be allowed to grow into the role. Jack Eichel is ready to take over when Stone retires. Jack, Mitch, Hanifin and Theodore are the new core 4 that they will Inherit when Captain Mark Stone retires. All of them under the same 7-8 year contract. Next off season we sign Remus. F them picks ….

  14. I just watched Steve's Marner video and then followed it with Jesse's. I think that's the best way to digest leaf content, somewhat therapeutic, lol. Freak out, then calm and sensible.
    Keep up the great content.

  15. I still think the culture starts with Matthews. He just doesn’t have that winning drive it seems like. Coming from a non-Toronto fan here. I don’t think Marner was the biggest issue on the team

  16. As a human, I wish Mitch the best going forward. I hope he and his family enjoy Vegas and all goes well. As a hockey fan, I’m happy this is finally over and at least we got some return. Yeah, I’m being petty here, but I also hope he never tastes victory on the ice. Out of my 35ish years of watching hockey, I can’t remember a player with more talent and less heart. “Messy” is probably the nicest way you can describe his legacy.

  17. I think the tweet at 2:00 is savage! the guy is on the way to the door and people are still pile on him. crazy!

  18. The end of year analysis for next season will be interesting. Will it be Nylander or Matthews who is no longer "right for the Leafs"? Or most likely Riley. Toronto has passionate fans but there always has to be a goat for the team's lack of playoff success.
