Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-2

  • 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.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
If there was ever a year to just tinker at the edges of the roster....this was it. Go toss a mid round pick at Brandon Tanev or something. Team didn't earn burning the entire future on this season. Here we are though.

They didn’t though. They literally got assets for 2-3 seasons.
 
These f***ing Leafs would wait until after the TDL to go completely to shit. Were 7-2-1 heading into the March 7 TDL. Treliving sent out too many futures (especially for Laughton) but the team was right there with Florida for the Division. Should've better read the situation though and only acquired Carlo.

Oh well. Can't wait until 2032 when this team is contending again with a new core group of guys, assuming the world hasn't ended by then.
I’d add a few years. And what do you mean by again?
 
No first rnd pick for 3 yrs

MSLE have refused to build around the core 4 since we got them. I won't single out any player but we are as a team are going in the wrong direction.

Not big enough, not good enough, not tough enough, not fast enough, and not enough heart
It's actually hilarious how inept this team is. Medicore defensively, mediocre goaltending (as of late - which is what happens when you have two back ups masquerading as #1s), horrific offensively (relative to their cap expenditures), zero depth, mediocre power play and a horrific PK. On top of it all, none of the players are even likeable on an individual level, as they have the same "unable to rise to the occasion" issue and their effort level is beyond questionable 99% of the time. The Brian Burke years were literally better than this. The team might have been ass, but at least they looked like they tried most of the time.
 
They called me crazy when I said to stand pat at the deadline

I was told that I was being gutless when I said let them play as they were DO NOT THROW FUTURES on these morons who have not shown anything in the playoffs. Lets see what they do under a new coach including DO NOT handout any contract to marner and tavares
 
Not good enough again.

Is it too early to say Berube is basically Keefe with all his negatives but without all of his positives?


Wasn't Scott C. Wheeler celebrating while Dubas slowly destroyed the team? And then was mourning when he got fired? Yes he was.

His only reasoning for not liking Berube is that Berube is a meanie pants poopy head.
 
I still faintly remember the hope and optimism when we finally got a bunch of top tier talent in the draft. The future seemed full of humiliating inferior foes in the regular season and long playoff runs.

Now we're just left with this trash.
I legit thought we were going to be the next Blackhawks, with Rielly our Keith, Marner our Kane and Matthews our Toews. Never again will I ever have faith in this team. Never.
