Acountdeleted Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I like muddler. It's tough love but it's true. I can't dispute a single word you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkpie Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 All they need to do is execute one player and the rest will fall in line lol. I honestly don't know why people bother watching. There is no incentive for the team to do well as the fan base will watch no matter how bad they do. They could all take the ice in jerseys that read "just in it for the money" and people would boo, but still line up for tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookinforwalleye Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Muddler Bob Gainey and Guy Carbonneau may disagree with your comment about it takes very little skill to play defense....I have seen some of the leafs attempt to play defense and they don't do it very well!

SirCranksalot Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Anyone other than me actually see the Leaf's win their last Stanley Cup ?? I feel soooo old !!!! We have a good oral tradition in our family. I have heard tales from the elders of that happening some time long ago in the past. Memory is a bit hazy for some of them!

ctranter Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Funny how people state "leafs aren't getting McDavid", with no intelligent regard for statistics or probability. It is highly unlikely the leafs get McDavid (fixed). But then it's unlikely for any bottom 5 team to get him, even the bottom team (whose odds max out at 20%). Nobody is betting their life savings on 1/5 odds, unless they are crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Anyone other than me actually see the Leaf's win their last Stanley Cup ?? I feel soooo old !!!! Top row, center ice Grays. Didn't have to move my head to watch the games. Being able to see Foster Hewitt in the booth down below. I was a big fan of Bower and Baun.

grizzlybri Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 me and Jeremy84 were talking today and neither of us can remember what song they play when the leafs score (at home), As for why I'm watching as bad as it sounds it is like people that rubber neck they want to see how bad it is. and it seems like the leafs are to busy looking back to see what is coming up right in front of them. as for the potential 1st overall, say the leaf to get it, what is saying they keep it away. and if they keep it, what is to say he is NHL ready next year? Look at Edmonton with all of their high draft picks, have Edmonton improved with all of these top 5 overall picks? How much better could they be if they spent time in the minors (AHL)? So my big question is as a Leaf fan is, What if Toronto doesn't get the 1st overall pick or trades a potential top 5 pick away again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moxie Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Not to take away from the hockey thread BUT what do u feel it is going to take to turn the team around Keep doin this . Won't turn that thing they call a team around but this might help the bulb come on bright enough to realize "It" ain't worth following?

John Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Too many overpaid underperformers. Easy for me to say but go through the lineup and look at individual contributions. To me there are only 3 maybe 4 "keepers" the rest should be blown up. Again easy to say but tough to do. McDavid is not the savour, but would be nice to have. BTW whoever it was that said playing D is easy has probably never played D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2fan Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Leafs need to get rid of the foreign players who are just here for the money and bring in good local Canadian players who want to play with heart and pride. That is a great plan...... Except for one thing, there is no legacy of winning that any NHLer can remember or relate too in Toronto. I remember hearing every Leaf fan say when Harold goes we will win Lord Stanley's Cup every year. WELL still waiting and he has been dead and gone for how long? The truth is every minute spent, watching, talking about or buying their crap supports the idea that it OK with the fans that the ownership puts a losing team on the ice. Also the new reality is that the players of today are corporations unto themselves. If you could make double the overall money via endorsements in the US of A why would you subject yourself to the media circus in T.O. with no winning tradition to back up? Heart and soul from a player is asking too much these days when a half effort after getting that BIG contract signed is so financially lucrative.

Old Ironmaker Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 A professional is someone receiving compensation for a service that earns revenue for those that employ that individual. The Leafs are doing their jobs, the place is full, every game. Job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Cliff Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 What I think they really need is time. They have way too many players with a lot of tallent that just don't know how to work as a team. That only comes with experience. Stop trying to FIX things by changing people (they have been doing that for way too long already) and start getting people learning how to work together then they will have a TEAM. All for one, one for all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All for one, one for all! Yeah, but by the time they do that they're all in their fifties. I don't recall anybody saying playing defense was easy. All ya gotta do is work your butt off. Any other talent is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Saturday's game was fun to watch on tv. Tuesday's game will be even better to watch live. Unfortunately it'll be with customers, so I'll be in that evil suit that all the tv fans hate to see....but I'll be having a blast either way!!!!
