Dear #LeafsNation,

Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard.

Sometimes the most talented players in the world, are not the best players in the world.

@ahickman2 @cityofguelph People barely see them as it is. Don’t put it on the road so you can get the “you should put a sign back there and warn the public.”

This is just proof that the general public simply have a vendetta against construction.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@iamhockey1 Clearly you’re looking at 2 sides of a coin and don’t believe in 3 dimensions.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@MinorMidgetGTHL @curtism19671 Could just fill 3rd line with the defensive minded, no offensive character players again that do the little things that matter. Anything else you get is…. Well, nice.

Or you can make 3rd line dangerous too.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@MinorMidgetGTHL @curtism19671 If JT is second line C, then our 3rd line is gonna be in horrible shape, and 4th in turn will be non-existent.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@MinorMidgetGTHL @curtism19671 There’s a gaping hole there in the 2nd line. At least on D there’s bodies that have been capable previously.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@MinorMidgetGTHL @curtism19671 AM34, WN88, MK23, GM72, EP40 5 of top6.

JT91 3rd line with Joshua and someone.

Adding someone like Marchment, Tuch or going more towards the riskier Frederics. Could really be icing on the cake with it. Until then, we have a huge gap that cannot go neglected.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@MinorMidgetGTHL @curtism19671 I’m still beggin for a Rielly <-> EP40 swap, whatever could make that work.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@Chens89 @DJ_Bean Time will tell on that. I agree but disagree. Is he a good coach because of the methods he used to force buy-in? Not being a good person, could very well be the reason he was a good coach. If he has to do things like a good coach, failure may loom.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@jake_v017 @dubasworshiper You’re missing the point and exaggerating your narrative. Since the 93 point season, Taylor hall has NOT been considered a hart trophy candidate. He’s been a fringe 2nd line, secondary scoring guy. Ehlers has been a touch better.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@LAKings874 Regardless of how a team performed with a coach, then Maurice is a weird situation.

13 years of missing playoffs, 6 R1 exits, 1 R2 exit, 2 R3 exits and lost in finals 2 times. Fired twice b4 first cup win. Should never have won cup by this metric.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@dubasworshiper Isn’t it nice when you get players that wouldn’t necessarily be considered able to move the needle, and yet they do?

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@tmlfaninvan The leafs aren’t building through FA, but they can retool. Plenty of RHD and complimentary wingers able to provide secondary scoring available. But having cap to both fill those, and be able to make the moves necessary to to tool that arent available through UFA, makes it valued

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@Leafslatest @DarrenDreger He can be in play, and not actively shopped simultaneously. Clubs call Toronto asking for price, not the other way around. If Chayka did not answer the phone and listen, he wouldn’t be doing his job. If GMs didn’t call and ask, they wouldn’t be doing their job.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@prasad_praneel But you aren’t Cale Makar. So he’ll probably do what he wants and not what you want.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@Ajsoti 33rd is basically a first… weird how they reverse their values based on words.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@WatchMyReview Finally something I agree with you on.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@ahickman2 @cityofguelph So instead, they should put it in the incoming lane, and make local traffic wait to turn left or right (and cause severe congestion on woolwich) until those outgoing utilizing the left turn lane, get to go on their green.

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@LeafsMaz20 Finally! Someone had to say it!

[Liam Strongman @LiamStrongman]

@Zakman200 Wonder how Seattle wasn’t so successful. Weird. Guess teams learned?
