Confirmed with Link: Leafs to sign Domi to 4 year extension - 3.75M AAV

[notbias]

Snot is having your teammates back, an example would be the Empty net incident where Domi is the first to arrive to back Reilly up. And I think Domi would had done the same thing if Reilly didn’t do it.
Snot also means not backing down from challenges and a pack mentality with your team.

It is not a hard concept to understand esp those who played in team sports and have friends who will always back you.

Now, is this something that helps team win, absolutely. Bc this snot will also lead be being accountable to the players and the team.

Everybody love going against soft opponents not just in sports but in life too. If you like to be bully around and taken advantage of, then you probably don’t need snot.

Snot has never won a championship.

It is not a hard concept to understand esp those who played in team sports at a high level.

No one has advocated for a soft team.

He still stepped up in the second half and in the playoffs... Plus he will be more beneficial this year as opposed to last year under a real coach in Berube and he's exactly the type of player Berube likes and wants.

How did Bertuzzi step up in the playoffs?

He is not good.

 

[afcleafs]

I may be in the minority but I want zero part of Bertuzzi, even at a discount. The guy was a total passenger last year for the first half of the season. I expected so much more for that cap hit.

THANK YOU.

I read some people talk about him and I'm not sure if I'm the one who's crazy.

I can't think of a worse player to double down on. He is perfectly ineffective.

Re sign bad player because coach likes the idea of what said bad player likes to portray himself as.

You wouldn't make a good GM.

You think Berube likes players with low hockey IQ who take dumb penalties?

Well I'm assuming you'd say Matthews is a good player.... He had the same amount of goals and points as Matthews in the playoffs... He had more points then Marner, Nylander, Tavares, and had more points then majority of the team did.... So how did he not step up in the playoffs according to you?

Kadri didn't take dumb penalties? look how that worked out for him...

Well, past SC winners Panthers, Vegas, Avs, TBx2, Caps, Pensx2
Won't call any of those teams soft and would say they all bring snot.

Like I said, it is not a hard concept to understand esp if you played organized team sports and have a strong group of friends.

Last time I checked Bert led the Leafs in pts in the playoffs last season. If he is not good, guess those who got less points than him just plain sucks.

At this point, you are really not trying to have a discussions but rather just want to get under other posters skin.

In a way you bring snot to these forums, so maybe you do understand what it means but just pretend you don't as you want others attention.

 

[Evilhomer]

I don't really have a response to a comment that compares the skill level of Kadri to Bertuzzi. One thing is not like the other.

Not only that he was arguably Boston's best playoff player after an okay season when he was on Boston as well... people just don't know shit about hockey and it shows

Skill doesn't win you championships consistency does... Look at all of matthews skill and goal scoring ability, but what does it translate to in the playoffs? skill means nothing if you can't do anything with it when it matters.

Bertuzzi was consistent in that he barely scored in the playoffs or the regular season, so that's something.

Yeah so by your standards and mentality Matthews isn't good either because he consistently doesn't score in the playoffs...

The other poster is someone who said MM got more votes than Barkov a season ago in the selke voting then go on and stated that Barkov is not that good as he only won two Selkes when comparing to MM.
All while trying to prove that MM is better than Barkov.

Yeah thanks for telling me that but it was obvious by his posts he didn't know shit about hockey or what he was talking about... This just confirms it.

Bert is Bert. He is a complimentary player on a Cup Contending team.
Keefe didn't use Bert properly as he would rather use JT as the net front presence instead of Bert. The difference between the two is that Bert actually will fight and stand in front of the goalie where as JT tends to drift off to the side and try to tip in slap pass.

How do you jump from Bertuzzi to Kadri to Matthews?

 

[NJG]

How do you jump from Bertuzzi to Kadri to Matthews?

It's fairly simple try to keep up, this is a forum after all so I can't say it slowly for you but hopefully the reading comprehension skills are there (I doubt it).

I refered to Kadri because you said he took stupid penalties, just like Kadri did and he still won a cup.

You referred to Bertuzzi as a bad player because he doesn't score consistently (even though he's not really there to score consistently but to chip in every now and then) compared to someone like Matthews who is supposed to score consistently and doesn't. So you said Bertuzzi doesn't score consistently.... Matthews also doesn't score consistently so what's your point? A guy that makes like $5M had the same amount of goals as a guy that makes $13M and is supposed to score. Bertuzzi is supposed to provide secondary scoring because that's not the main thing he brings to a team.

Happy to have Max back. Pretty much anyone that gives a shit suits me just fine.

My sample size is more than 7 games and I try to view the player as more than just points, but ok.

 

[TimeZone]

The man wanted to be a Maple Leaf.

Absolutely love the deal, love to have players who want to be here, it's refreshing having a good player not drain us for every penny.

Was your sample size also when he played with Boston and was arguably their best player as well included? The guy has only played in the playoffs twice in his career and both times was one of the teams best players. Yeah please let's give that guy away....

He was not their best player, was a liability at 5v5, and collected a bunch of PPP.

This is the reason everyone had high hopes, it looks like he flopped.

He was the 3rd best player on his line this playoffs.

So much of a liability that Boston wanted to keep him? lol you have no idea what you're talking about.

I want to keep him too, but only at a cap hit that makes sense, which means I'd rather he walk because he will be overpaid.

No point in discussing his time in Boston if you didn't watch any of it.

I did watch it and he was one of their best players, He had the same amount of goals as pasta (5 goals in 7 games) which I'm pretty sure was the most on the team and 5 more points then him (10 points in 7 games) and that's not even including all the other aspects he brings, he was factually one of Bostons best players, that's not even up for debate. Plus everything else he brings to the table and provides is why he performs well in the playoffs and why Boston wanted to keep him and why Toronto wants to keep him. It's not rocket science.

I used to think posters were being a bit unfair to you, but with posts like this it’s like you carry around a shovel to dig your own holes. It’s pretty obvious what’s different about Domi and Kerfoot…

the thing is - i think it's a very legitimate question. and sometimes it can be very frustrating. regardless of someone feels the other person is being obtuse - that instead of simply answering the question by going more into depth in what someone means - that barbs are being thrown. because there's always going to be other people who don't know (who lurk) who wouldn't mind knowing the answer to a question when it is asked.

what's the difference between Kerfoot and Domi is not a very complicated question. I would like to know. and no - it is not very obvious to me because I didn't really see Kerfoot play a lot. and Domi in Toronto not at all, so an explanation would be appreciated.

There is your playoff stud. He was a PP specialist.

Factually he was not one of Boston's best players, and I welcome you to go ask the Boston board if he was.

Toronto wants to keep him cause Tre doesn't know a thing about hockey.

Likely my last message because you can't move off points. Points are irrelevant if the other team scores more.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Really happy that the kid is back. I respect the fact that he put his money where his mouth is (take notes Mitch) and took a slight haircut instead of trying to squeeze out every last dime. This kid wanted to be here, and that's the kind of player you want to root for.
