Anybody out there on NHL Fantasy app , found a Jarnkrok ?
I have been looking for a week or 2..
I now beleaf, NHL Fantasy screwed Jarnkrok outta the fun..
Not even a little bit, wake me up when the rebuild starts.
Very good team for a long time. But objectively , they are an older team that has lost some star power – has a bit of a rag tag older defence corps …. Very few prospects (although Cowan looks very good imo)…. They are still a good team but the window is all but closed on this group.
So, Leafs win a game versus a weak Rangers team and it's now, the year, again? 😂
How do you guys think a 3v3 tournament would do in the nhl? Say 4 nations one year, 3v3 the next, repeat. Take the top 16 teams at the break or have a team for each division. have them make a 3v3 team with 2-3 lines. Shorter games. Say 10 minute periods. Best 2 of 3 series. the 4 nations is a serious series where guys put it all on the line, the 3v3 series would be more of a skills show case with more room to make plays.
Wake me up on May 15, 2026 and tell me what the situation is at that time. Games in October are meaningless.
Brady out for 2 months seems
If I flip a coin twice and its tails both time I do not believe it is double sided. Why? Small sample size.
While it’s the correct attitude to have with respect to a new system/new players, the issue with process over results for NYR is that the GM/Owner are results over process guys.
Aren't they like 3-2 and haven't played a playoff team from last season yet?
I hope Steve has recovered his belief in this team, because it will be far more entertaining to watch him unravel again when they lose in the first round.
the Cats didn't even register in this guy's mind 3 years ago and now they live in his head rent-free. Life comes at you fast.
I beeleaf TOR is going to get murdered in round 2 this year. Maybe they get murdered in the conference final this time.
Not until they drop matthews. Great he scores in the regular season then disappears. Hes not a leader hes a prima donna. When the going gets tough hhes gone. Should have kept marner and dumped matthews.
Addicts don’t know when to stop, I say addicts because this relationship isn’t healthy. From an outsider perspective.
I believe! I believe that Leaf choke compilations will have to be updated again next year.
A .965 save percentage with a losing record is insane
I certainly believe this roster as is has 0 chance of going deep in playoffs.
I don't think Berube has a clue what he is doing.
I think Toronto is overrated myself
Better get all the Sabres jokes out now this is OUR YEAR BABY
Admittedly I'm a Habs fan so call me bias, but I've been a pseudo leafs fan because of Steve since LFR season 11 or 12…. I truly believe the leafs are hitting a soft rebuild for the next 3-5 years before they end up needing a full rebuild
You can always count on Leafs fan to be right on schedule starting to believe in their team again a few games into the season 😂
After the over time loss to the kracken…
I'm with dangle on the rant… for some time I'm being saying the leafs are simply not tough enough…
The issue is the man with the C… He can no longer hide… he has to step up and protect his teamates , show some fire and kick some butt…
No other superstar in the league , not even McDavid comes across as more of a pussy cat as does Matthews…
I think it hurts the teams cohesion and i don't think they play or possibly even respect that style of leadership.
I grew up playing, and i know for a fact this is in the hearts of the guys even if it isn't talked about it out loud…
McKinnon, McDavid, Draisaitl etc etc… you don't get the same feeling of meekness or weakness from them… they don't drop the gloves but they will face wash guys or jump in like if their goalie was run and bowled over…
Matthews probationary time as leader is over and he needs to stand up for his team, for himself and show some f*cking spine!!! ❤
Fark no! This season is a reset. Go-ing they prove me wrong but they have to discover spirit and some dog in the fight. The pretty boy fashion walk is over. Step up. Play like you hate to lose. Auston is leading the way in mediocrity and lack of intent. He needs to start leading, not just on the board but with attitude.
Not sure why I had to rejoin as a vip member after a year of membership; something I did wrong?
No. Matthews is not what he was anymore, we would have needed old Matthews.
You allways need a 1-2 punch and now you only have Nylander with his off days. It was the correct call tosplit the core four due to capspace. But Marner money was not wisley spent.
And also the team has to low skills over 4 lines. We need more secondary scoring. I could see this team struggle to get in the playoffs
I don’t believe in them at all! Not even a bit. They’re a bunch of soft pathetic millionaires with zero passion and no balls. The DNA of this team is hello kitty.
Yes, I beleaf they will choke and be losers again this year.
Leaf’s are worst then last year
Right after this, the leafs played their most limp dick game so far
This didn’t age well
As Steve full on blew it against Seattle 😂
This is extra funny now and aged like milk
I'm believing this team is the worst version of this team since getting matthews
Throw the parade now
Goalies can't just "shake off" their masks, they're basically strapped into those things super tight. Goalies can only shake off a mask if the strap has already come loose. I don't see a lot of room for abuse from goalies here.
So we lost Marner, but 1) Matthew's was clearly injured last year. He scored 36 goals fewer than the year before, and was 20+ goals below his career average. Rielly also had a terrible year. Stolarz was injured a lot, plus again in the playoffs as well. If these guys can be healthier and more like their typical selves, losing Marner shouldn't be that big of a deal that can't be replaced by adding Macelli, Roy, and Joshua. The Leafs should be about as good as they were last year. And last year, they gave Florida by far their toughest playoff series and did it without their starting goalie (who's led the NHL in save percentage the last 2 zeasons) for all but half of game 1. There's no reason they can't win the division again, and be a strong contender
Leafs fans are the most schizophrenic in the league.
