They are the leafs. We have a saying about doing leafy things. Joe Bowen is retiring after this season, so let's suck, Boston has our top 5 protected pick, so they suck, but not enough. We all know Boston is getting the number 6 overall. These are leafy things and that is how they work.
if the goalies keep playing like they are right now and they do manage some big wins , that would work out twofold for the Leafs. It not only bumps that Bruins pick down but it bodes well for a goaltender trade that has to be made before next season.
I'm the kind of "fan" rubbernecking at this train wreck
Until you are actually eliminated there is no tank.
Leafs have been also mathematically eliminated from next season’s playoffs too…Expansion teams struggle early in franchise history…Nothing out of the unusual here…be patient….
As a neutral party, we are at the point where I feel like I'm winning either way. If they lose, I get an entertaining LFR. If they win and mess with the Tank, I get an entertaining LFR 😂
honestly I think they'll be better than a top 5 pick next year, so if they can tank enough to get one this year then tank. if they've got too many points to make that feasible, then win so boston get's a worse pick.
I'm the kinda leaf fan that gave up on them as a child and now am a Habs fan 😢
More to it than that. The Leafs could pass the whole Pacific Division in the overall standings. Chabot is gone for the season. Watch Toronto pass Ottawa.
Typical Leafs. They lose when they're supposed to win and they win when they're supposed to lose. I've been a leaf fan my whole life – and I'm not young. But lately I'm considering being done with this infuriating team.
sign Stetcher, but play more Marlies – want to see Thrun and Villenuve – and anyone else that could injest some life. The players that we don't need to see in more games are Jarnkrok, Domi, etc – they are what they are
I agree 100% … Go back to the west
Adam Fox for Matias Maccelli! Sounds great Steve😀 Come on Rangers get er done
as a rangers fan, yay!
Igor had a terrible game, possibly his worst this season.
It’s hard to be a Rangers fan, you have no idea, but our Captain did not call his team PASSENGERS!
See you in the draft, Steve.
Maybe we will get a gift in draft like the 1983ers did.
LGR
Winning against Boston was not a good idea! When they need to win they choke and when they need to lose they win…. Amazing but not ideal for future picks 😅
As a Flyers fan, we would totally be in the playoffs if we were in the West…they need to shake things up.
Some shitty takes in between some ads
Told ya a few vids ago…Leafs would Tank and Tanking 🤣
PLEASE KEEP WINNING SO MY BRUINS GET THE 6TH PICK!!!!!! PLLEAAAAAAASE!!!!!!!
Thanks! Victory Pappies. Rangers know how to tank! How is AM34 doing?
There is no way that the Leafs can get to the bottom 5. Those bottom 5 teams are not going .500 or more for the rest of the season to overtake the Leafs.
I was definitely in Tank Nation. But they can't even do that right.
I'm a diehard Leafs fan that can't handle the cortisol spikes anymore so I watch SDPN and while I wait for my favorite hockey team since childhood to care
Talk of tanking is so stupid. Please stop.
I'm totally a "tanker" Leafs fan right now. They still have good opportunity to get down to 3rd last if they start to play it correctly. Winning right now is a waste.
You could also argue that winning now is best for the team unless there is a specific top 5 person you think could send this core over the top. That way you could get out from under this sooner and not be possibly be stuck sending a top 5 pick to boston next year.
Guarenteed the Leafy way will end up getting the 6th pick.
It’s easier to cheep for a tank when you’re guaranteed to have your first round pick. I don’t want to tank just to give Boston the 6th overall pick.
How about the headline/title:
JO[e]HN CHINA W[o]ALL BOWER!!!!
Listen as a bruins fan Woll is the goalie you guys want and need. He was a terror against us in the 2024 playoffs and it was a blessing he was ruled out for game 7. Woll is a fucking wall
Win win win. I never played a game in life to lose
Hi, Steve!
I would like to publicly THANK the 2025-26 Maple Leafs for eliminating the NY Rangers from the playoffs!!!
THANK YOU, MAPLE LEAFS!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏒🥅🏒🥅🏒🥅

NJ Devils' Fan
The leafs are good
Have a bad coach period
They can't even tank right, not to much to ask, is it, lol.
