When Cherry played there were 2 or 3 skilled guys who didn't fight or hit, the rest of the team would drop them with almost anyone although there were guys you just didn't fight with because they were gorilla strong and once the fuse was lit there was no turning back. Howe was king back then and didn't drop the gloves too often but when he did...
it matters when its the leafs getting multiple game suspensions. and dirty hits on leaf players putting them in Danger get nothing, your takes are so bad
That's reminiscent of some of those Scott Steven's hits, and I thought they outlawed them.
Really. You care that the guy who everyone on this board wants to ride out of town (Reaves) gets suspended while another guy doesn't? It's all meaningless. They could suspend Reaves for 80 games and it would mean nothing to the Leafs' success. Would you puff out your chest if Whitecloud got the same irrelevant 5 game suspension? It seems pretty irrelevant to me. The Leafs won the game. That's all that really matters.
did I say Reaves? or do you like just posting your nonsense to fit your narrative, guess you only care about last nights game, this goes back since Parros took over the DOPS, many instances where leaf suspensions were high games lost, and when something happens to a leafs player, the other teams get no suspensions or very small ones, its more than the hit last night, maybe do a little research on how the suspensions seem to go one way against the leafs, and than reply instead of your wild inaccurate takes, that are some of the worst on this board
Hahahaha. That’s not how they organize the standings thruout the season. Never has been and probably never will be……..this ain’t baseball
It's always been how they organize the standings. It's how they handle things that require rankings like waivers, and it's how they ranked the teams with different games played in the Covid year. Bragging because you've played more games than another team is weird. Let's wait until we're actually 1st.
It's a continuum, everyone had some part in building this future stanley cup team. Nonis, burke, jfj, john brophy's coaching, kurt walker - everyone has played a part
I'm happy that we're now 1st in the division. See? It's not that hard to wait for it to be true. Hopefully we keep winning and improve back to 2020-2023 levels.
No, you don't understand the mission. You are trying to get away from 2020-2023. The Leafs are trying to get back to that level. We're doing better than last year, at least.
Sorry, no sense piling on… lol
So the goal is to get back to the years where we weren't good enough? Seems like an odd goal. Might just be me lol
It’s not just you he’s out to lunch
Ya I was actually confused as to why we would want to bet back to the lost years 2020-2023
The goal is to win. Getting back to being a top tier team improves our chances at that. If we can be better than those years, then even better, but we have to get back to that level before we can surpass it.
We were a playoff team that failed in every single one of those seasons. Never managed to win the Division and then went out with a whimper in the playoffs. There is no guarantee that this year ends any differently….but I am pretty confident in saying it won’t be any worse. Striving for those years is a wildly low bar for this team.
