If I'm building a team I start with Mo Seider …. only Leaf I would take is Willy.
Women's clothes?!?! I goddamn wish they had half the passion of an Hayley Wickenheizer…
Are there long term implications of using smelling salts… gotta keep our boy safe lol
Tavares should never have been signed from the Islanders …. let's call it like it is.
Rosey …. let's not play Doctor here on viruses …. stay in your lane. Which is fighting only.
trade mathews, nylander and reilly, REPLACE them, 😂😂😂😂
i know everyone will say if you trade those guys you have nothing??? YOU HAVE NOTHING NOW😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lili would look good on the Leafs D now Zack …. and Sandin
They go out and put on their women's clothes was hilarious
Well fellow Leaf fans, get ready for another 10 + years of a non competitive team.
34 88 and 44 need to go 9-11 seasons now nothing they dont care enough and simply dont have ehat it takes as a trio any more, actually never fucking worked ever like we have danford we have cowan we can sign few guys draft better jist get these 3 guys out of HERE, hughs can be traded to the wild but as soon as someone says mathews willy or rielly ohhhhhhh hell no we cant do that whyyyy like they havent done shit….why NOT
Auston for Hughes? Do you think Canucks are totally insane?? Maybe 3 unprotected 1sts and Auston.
Call them what you want, heartless, no grit….. (and I agree with all of it) but relax the homophobic comments. ("put on their women's clothes") Classless!
Dubas over Hunter was a disastrous choice. Auston–fragile. Too many injuries for a big man. Willy–too smart to bust his balls for this crappy team Treliving has put together. Why does he still have a job? Until the fans stay away and stop paying for this shit this is all they are going to get. The receipts are still great and that is all Ed Rogers care about. Trade Auston. He wants out. OEL Cowan and Lorentz scored. That says it all.
Maybe sit Auston and Willy and see if they even care. About 22 million in salary fails to show up. Ridiculous and unacceptable. Morgan Reilly is a 5 or 6 dman. Troy Stecher effective but a waiver pickup for God's sake.
Nick Robertson can't play in the NHL …. except as a part-time call-up
No one is saying Mitch leaving is the cause …. the entire team is built brutally. Need a total re-build.
Reilly is done. The league has left him behind. Tanev–shot. Carlo slow and lumbering. Minten for Carlo should get Tre fired.
:Trade Stolarz …. he's old and injured all the time. Yes he has value" Waaat … makes no sense.
34 needs to go asap- trade him for a younger first line center….. wyatt johnston, rob ert thomas
he needs to go now
Gordo …. admit I was right all along that Leafs need a complete re-build. And I will have a modicum of respect for you.
Leafs management need the balls to make core changes. Treliving blew it, already had 7 yr sample size of Marner and didn't trade him before NTC kicked in. Matthews needs to be moved next summer. No killer instinct in this core group.
McDavid is just on another level than anyone in the league. His speed can kill any team's defense
Jay you are bang on ! 100% They don't have any passion!
Team USA should just cut him. That’d be such a wake up call.
The Leafs under GM Dumb Tree is rapidly descending into chaos. It was extraordinarily shortsighted of him to trade away two first-round picks for supporting players last March, especially knowing that Mitch Marner was leaving. The priority should have been to preserve those picks to find a replacement for Mitch, not expend them on a fourth defenseman and a fourth-line center. The focus was misguided, and he should have faced termination of his contract at that point. Keith Pelley, who granted him the reins to the team, must also bear the responsibility.
Given Dumb Tree track record in Calgary, it should come as no surprise that the Leafs are struggling and being one of the worst team in the East Although Dumb Tree will surely make numerous calls, he has repeatedly failed to secure any significant trades for impactful players, resorting instead to inconsequential deals. With Matthews carrying an injury body for a considerable time, surrendering two first-round picks last March was a reckless decision. Pushing the "all-in" button at that moment when your top centre was extremely injured was an unforgivable error.
To make matters worse, 88 appears to be out of shape and lacking fitness this season.Has Tree been monitoring the players’ conditioning? It's evident that Matthews has not maintained his physical form. Additionally, defenseman 44, one of the highest-paid D in the league, has proven to be a misstep. Engaging in discussions with him during the offseason will not change the fact that he is past his prime. The appropriate course of action would have been to buy him out and move on.
Re-signing player 91 is a decent move, but it’s not a game-changer, especially considering he is already 35 years old and cannot be relied upon to uplift the team. Tree should clearly understand the extent of player 34’s injury; how then can he justify focusing his efforts on bolstering the bottom six while the first-line center continues to deliver average offensive output especially the departure of the 102-point player should he find a top 6 first.
Tree has fundamentally disrupted the team's game plan, and his assumptions are entirely misguided. We will boycott the Leafs until Keith Pelley dismisses Dumb Tree
It's time to blow it up!
That's what happens when you give the captaincy to a boy
In this very rant even Rosie said " they put on their girl clothes " … I wont see you all shitting on him but I say " the leafs are a bunch of bisexual little qweefs " and I'm the bad guy… I love Rosie
Once they follow some NoFap principles then watch how much vigor they will play with. Some of these guys play depleted.
Leafs are missing Mitch Marner, the hearbeat of this team. You guys all put WAY to much emphasis on a pure goal scorer AM, he's an Alexander Mogilney.
With MM last year leaf's power play was running at 25% ranked 9th, this year 14.3% ranked 29th. If that does not scream we miss MM I don't know what does! Put their power play production at the same as last year's and the leafs win 3 or 4 more games and are in a top 3 playoff spot.
This pod is run by an adolescent and is always a Troll page. Most of the fans are total trolls. No other fanbase disses their team like the so-called Leaf fans. You Clowns are always Debbie Downers. Can't watch this crap. Win or lose you're always so negative. Hey Zack, all the Leaf players think you're a right Dolt. Rosie rants are getting a little tedious.
100% Accurate take by Gord. Remember how injured Patrice Bergeron was in the playoffs (forget the year). Broken sternum amongst other injuries. Never once took his foot off the gas and led the Bruins. THAT is a leader. It's infectious in the room. I'd love to feed every Leaf Truth Syrum, over the Matthews era. Interview them confidentially for their honest take on the culture of that team. I could see it in his 2nd or 3rd year that he doesn't have that Doug Gilmore, Nat McKinnon, Sid Crosby, Conner McDavid etc, desperation to win at all costs. That's fine if you're an accessory player but not the "leader". The incident that confirmed it to me was when Travis Konecny shoved him around and laughed in his face. Matthews tried to laugh it off but everyone saw that and had to question his heart and soul. There's is no denying the skill level but the X Factor simply isn't there and never has been. You can't just manufacture that. You have it or you do not. Just my opinion.
Toronto has become pathetic!
Zack Touch grass bud. It’s clear as day Matthews doesn’t care and definitely doesn’t care about you so sit there watch the games like a good boy and shaattapp😂😂😂
Several years ago I said Mathews would age like Jamie Benn.. now I feel I drastically unestamated his drop off, and insulted Benn.
Trade Nylander for a package similar to quinn hughes. Force out 88 and his arrogant i don't give a fuck attitude.
Oilers a very fast team….you can't play a passive defensive style game against these guys. You have to put pressure on them and force them to cough the puck up. Same as Florida.Berube wants them to never adapt or change their game style. I don't agree with that view. Passive style does not always work ..esp depending on who you have on yr side
Get ROSEHILL behind the bench to light a match under these FREAKEN guys ASSES! COACH ROSEHILL He says it as he sees it! 🙌🏻
I appreciate where Noah is coming from, but what is Treliving supposed to do? There arent just a bunch of players out there who would be a good fit or want to play here. And who do you trade? Robertsons stock is kind of good, but you wont get a big name for him, nor Domi and we dont have many new players on the shelves – aside from Cowan, to give up.
