Fire the coach and the GM because Heineman is playing instead of Pezzetta, hockey is back baby
If only we would have a real coach or GM that would build a real lineup instead of team of ballerines.
Countdown thread to 24-25 Season (T - 6 hours)

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Sell us on trading away multiple first round picks to dump Gallagher and Anderson, and then how you go about getting all these miraculous tough guys who can fight and play hockey.
They can only do so much and they've clearly emphasized it in the draft; and will eventually address it through UFA when they have space to do so.
Trading DVO now, for cheap, i don’t care we won’t miss him, put Kapanen at center, heineman on the third and Pezz or any tough guy on the fourth.
Simple twist and easy to do. You wont get a f***ing first for dvo on deadline day ffs, why wait anyway?. Seems hard for Hughes though.
I 100% agree, but we will take nothing but abuse for not loving MSL on this board. He should have been an assistant for a couple years and learned a few things. He may even be a great mentor, not disagreeing with this, but the team looks lost on most nights regardless. Yeah sure he's probably giving Heinemen a sniff, but what does that say to a guy who scored in the pre-season, fought, and does whatever he's asked? I'd play him just because it is Toronto, and just to soften up their lines a bit.
If this was another team, fine. But not tonight, I'd send a message and let Pez play
Cringe. Did he also recite Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn?
I read the GDT Schedule, if there's no GDT up by 1PM EST it becomes fair game. I'm making some photoshops right now so I can cover with something if Donghabs doesn't take it.
Edit: Donghabs messaged me they will have one out this afternoon.

He also apparently not worried about his powerplay going -1-30 in pre-season. I guess it will organically sort itself out. Sigh. So depressing already.
It's not a line up that oozes confidence in "being in the mix"
Keeping the only player who could have potentially softened the blow a bit was too obvious. Instead we cut him in favor of a career AHLer.
Hahah yeah idk man. I get what you're saying about the bottom six being soft and I don't love it either but not sure this is really congruent with your next post about trading Dvorak and scratching ABB to dress Kapanen and Pezzetta. That's a pretty minor change if we're ostensibly a team full of ballerinas.
Dvorak is here because he's the only left handed center on the team and because they don't want to start the season without 4 bonafide NHL Cs. ABB is playing tonight because it's the home opener and he's a local guy who probably won't be around all year, I don't think it'll take long for Pezzetta and Kapanen to be in the lineup and it's not like Heineman is some perimeter softie.
It is what it is, they drafted F. Xhekaj, signed Tuch, drafted Thorpe/Protz, kept Xhekaj and traded Harris/Kovacevic to keep A. Xhekaj and Struble around. It's pretty obvious they're trying to add grit but there's only so much that can be done to remake a bottom six year over year when it still includes a lot of big veteran contracts.
First day guys. Relax a little and enjoy the game. Kapenen will get his chance. Pezz (as if) will get his chance.
Look for big games from Line #1, Dach, Hutson.
If we had Laine, we would have more buzz. If we had Demi......even more buzz. We are still building something. Enjoy the game everyone!

This is some Ottawa senators type of shi
Don't like it one bit.
'Why not us?'
Like, when has it not been you jabroni?
You're the Montreal Canadiens.
You mean the guy who didn't stand out, didn't outplay anyone? The guy according to management didn't deserve to make the team...yeah let's reward him.
Because Armia, ABB, Anderson and Dvorak are in your top 9
Everyone thing he's talking about making he playoffs.
But Robidas is actually talking about getting a snack before noon.
Not mentioned in the tweet was that Robidas was dressed in a gladiator costume.
Who cares about Pezz hes a punching bag doesnt scare anyone on the ice and we cant be trading Dvorak not knowing if Dach can stay healthy the players still wanna win and no team will take him at full cap will need to retain might aswell do that at deadline for a 2nd hes playing for a new contract so he should give a better effort
At least he could avoid Xhekaj to have to answer everything. ‘Cause we all know Anderson won’t. p***y.
The fact that there is still no GDT is a bad sign for the season. Everything is falling apart.
Anderson better stand out tonight. He is highly paid, great skater, good shot and is a big, strong forward. He better not allow others to carry his slack.
You'd probably have to pay something to move Dvorak now with the salary cap being used for most teams at the start.. and if just getting Pezzetta in the line-up makes us a tougher team to play against and not a bunch of 'ballerinas' then I'd say we are splitting hairs here.
