:facepalm:

It has nothing to do with limiting violence, it's about adding value and the role diminishing.

So then why are you rejecting the notion enforcers have no value, Kessel said publicly that having guys like Orr, McLaren and Fraser made him and other guys in the room feel more confident and protected on the ice.

If teams are so effective at "clogging up the neutral zone" then why dont the Leafs do it ?

I didn't say I wasn't concerned....It's just the way shoulders can be. I'm not gonna cry about it.
But based on what YOU said, shoulders are a major MAJOR problem once injured. Our franchise center who is 21 has a bad shoulder and just left after the most routine body check that I've ever seen.. And you don't really care?

Ok.

I guess nothing really matters. Nothing. Existentialism.

i will, **** that waste of space. This policeman narrative is such a joke, you only believe because you've been told that for a long time it isnt a thing. Trouba would have hit McDavid in the same position if he was playing the oilers. JFC it was even a fair hit

This isnt about Matthews, go drink a herbal tea and stfu.

So this Matthews's 4th injury in less than one calendar year..
And with the shoulder goes the shot...
If he is out an extended period of time and you are the GM, what do you do?
Give him $10 to 12 M ?

Because it's bullshit to think a single soon is making a difference in this game or in this era.

Like I said, team toughness is something, goons don't intimidate.

Again I never said I don't care lol me getting hysterical over him getting injured isn't going to change anything. It sucks, there really isn't much anyone can do about it. I have dealt with my own shoulder injuries on and off for the better part of the last 5 years I know how it goes.

Tavares is not a 11 million player. Dude doesn't look dangerous on the ice at all. Plays like a better grinder

Been a Leaf fan for 30 years (since I was born really) and it would be lovely to have nice things.

No, we are not owed anything, we are not special, and we do not deserve special treatment.

I just want a consistant team, maybe a cup win every 30 years, players that are happy to be here, and think team first. Plus a superstar player who can be consistantly healthy and dominant lol

But if you don't care whether we win or lose or not. Whether we win the cup or not. Whether our franchise center got hurt after a routine body check or not. Then why watch?

If Matthews requires surgery it might be in everyone’s best interest if he just sits out this year.

I can’t imagine Dubas will pull a miracle and make this team a contender so why not take a back seat this year and try and fill gaping holes and let AM heal.
