If this team can find a way to turn Liljegren into a top 4 right defenseman and also secure a solid third-line center, I truly believe we’ll be a top 4 favorite to win the Stanley Cup. I don’t care what people say—call me delusional if you want—this is our best chance yet. We have depth scoring, strong defense, a good coach, and solid goaltending. This really looks like the year it’s all coming together.

This is why I’m letting Marner walk.
Cap casualty. AAV needed for balance.
I invented my own stat, I call it “AAV sitting on the bench for every goal against”. When a goal is scored, you add up the AAV of every player on the bench and then you take the average. The Leafs lead the league “Average AAV doing nothing”.

It's so funny, the team has LIVED in their end every shift he's on the ice. Never even a cup of coffee in our end and people are still criticizing the guy. D men are coughing up the puck with blind passes up the wall when he comes bearing down on them, he's winning pucks, making smart little plays, it's great to see. Is he better than McMann in the lineup, nobody says he is, but f*** me the guy is doing a great job out there and is exactly how a fourth line should operate, heavy forecheck, dominate down low, control play. His detractors are moronic imo, get over the fighting part. The above numbers aren't a mirage, he's been that effective so far. Good.to all the stat nerds that dump on reaves.... how do you cope with this? LMAO
Reaves leads all the Leafs btw

which makes it harder to watch Timmons play over you every game.

if Lilly impressed in the preseason he'd be playing, he's made his bed, now he'll have to wait until he gets another chance. Both guys are bad, but at least Timmins is paid less...........

Keefe will be fine, Dubas is still two years away from "there will be pain". Guy f***ed up the best gig in hockey wit his hubris born power move, to go to a no asset downside legacy team. Enjoy genius!LOL

The second loudest cheer of the night was when 16 was introduced. I thought the mood seemed pretty good but it’s always better up high I’ve found. Second period on especially was a lot of fun to be there for live.How was the mood in the building?
Did the expected booing get out of control?
Does Marner get Boo’d?
When we play at home style games (Ottawa included), does Marner hear the boo birds? I think so, fans are tired of him. If he digs in his heels and decides he doesn’t want to leave, do we as fans let him hear it? Discuss.forums.hfboards.com
When Marner got first star the building erupted!
On a side note since I’ve bought your seats a few time I think the guy one row behind on the aisle must also be a season ticket holder and a commentator in training lol nobody missed a moment of the action with him there
I remembered him from last timeIt was great up in the 500s where we were sitting.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it, wish I didn’t have to miss it. Have to miss the Steelers today too. The sacrifices I make for my wifeThe second loudest cheer of the night was when 16 was introduced.

It’s very quiet on tv. Compared to other stadiums and sporting events it’s not a great atmosphere.The second loudest cheer of the night was when 16 was introduced.

That does seem to be the common complaint from those that never attend.
Definitely but when you’re in the building it’s great but that depends on your seat too. I’ve sat close to the glass and it was very different from up top.
One of the best games I’ve been too was against jersey years ago and it was in the standing area. Fantastic atmosphere
He is so much fun to watch.

Paid more and promoted. Leafs were really the only ones hurt by Shanny's flip flop.

I'm not sure anyone was hurt by the whole exercise. Dubas was hired into a more senior position at a higher salary, and the Leafs are a better team today than they were at the end of his last season. Frankly, same goes for Keefe. He is in a good spot now after running out of steam in Toronto, and the Leafs have a much better coach.
