The 11 seasons prior to them arriving here we went to the playoffs once, that one time we went we had the most embarrassing collapse in a game 7 in a shortened season.
You’re either really young or need to calm down. Anyone around for that era will tell you you’re stupid.
"run out of town" ... as in Marner was scouting houses in Vegas a year before, Vegas caught for tampering, Marner refused re-sign offers, Leafs forced to settle for sign and trade deal. you mean THAT run out of town?
What a fantastic player. Always has been.
The fact that he could never do this for the Leafs when it mattered will be one of the greatest frustrations of my entire life.
Best evidence I've seen the Leafs have just been cursed on a luck-level. Outside of the two series wins, any time their goalies actually performed well the opposing team's was like "hold my beer" and went prime Hasek, and any time the opposing team's goalie shit the bed their own goalie conversely diarrhea'd the bed.
Part of me wants Vegas to win the Cup solely to hear Mitch Marner finally elaborate on his "dark times" comment.
@Jackie_Redmond isn't having it. She's tired of the Leafs fan bashing and the constant gaslighting of Toronto.
Why does everything in hockey always come back to the Leafs? 🤷♂️🍿
the jack adams is a joke. it's a fake award basically. it almost always goes to "team did way better than broadcasters expected for literally any reason that may include coaching." it is not worth thinking about for more than a day at most
Since 2016, outside of the top two rounds of the draft, Toronto's European amateur scouts have given us guys like Hildeby, Akhtyamov, Grebenkin, Holmberg, Koblar and Holinka while our North American scouts have drafted 28 players with only Joseph Woll to show for it.
My honest prediction: if Vegas wins the Cup, it'll be the product of Hart putting up a .950 SV% or so, but the Conn Smythe will go to Marner regardless of what he actually does in the series because voters will want to seem moral while also Owning The Leafs. Take it to the bank.
"Why are Leaf fans so annoying?"
I dunno, maybe because we haven't played a game since April yet two NHL GMs and several media members can't get our name outta their mouths and other fanbases hate us merely for existing. Almost like if you left us alone, we'd leave you alone.
