Marchessault answering about the Leafs tough start of season: "I think they have a good team, but I don't think they are as good as people think"

[Michoulicious]

Kind of unusual seeing another team player saying that kind of stuff a few days before playing the team he's talking about.

Vegas against Toronto Tuesday will be interesting!

Bulletin board material?

Throw it on the bulletin board all you want. The stars are too lazy to read it and the plugs can’t.

A dubas team only has so much potential

They'd just be wasting their time. I agree.



For a guy who had a lot of problems with rabid Canucks fans attacking his family on his social media page, I don't think this is a wise choice. I saw some Leaf fan tweeting a rant to Dubas' grandma the other day.

If only the leafs were as perfectly built as the rangers

 

[Mickey Marner]

TVA interviewed Marchessault about the Leafs? Rent free

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

He wasn't taking shots at the Leafs.

He was taking shots at half this board

So a Montreal based media outlet is just going around asking other teams about the Leafs?

And people blame Toronto media for never shutting up about the Leafs?

The question is, does he think they are wasting his time?

This is hilarious lol Habs media has nothing else to talk about ?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Is it bulletin board material if it’s true?

 

[Danarqhy]

100% dead on. A breath of fresh air to see players be this candid if you ask me.

Never give opponents clippings to put on the bulletin board in the locker room. Just ask the Dodgers on why it's a bad idea.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Well, it’s true though. They would have made it past the first round if they were as good as some posters here believe.

He should have said they dont play the right way. Would change the whole trajectory of the team. But he aint no Umberger

You overestimate the leafs. This speaks to

Marchessault’s confidence in the knights.​

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

This is more of an indictment of Toronto's fans than the players. And I agree with Marchessault here. The Toronto fans are the problem.

 

[MXD]

Marchessault rarely, if ever, said anything intelligent to the media.

Leafs not being as good as people think seems pretty intelligent.

There's nothing particularly wrong with Toronto having championship aspirations, a handful of markets usually do year after year, and they all talk about the possibility of making a run. There's also nothing particularly unusual about Toronto falling short of championship aspirations as there's only one cup winner every year, and last I checked Marchessault and his team falls into that category.

Finally, that Montreal media would want to talk to a Vegas based player about Toronto, well, that's not really a Toronto problem either.

It is pretty common knowledge that the Leafs problem isn't that they don't win the cup. It's that they can't win a single round of playoff hockey over the span of decades against largely lower seeded teams.

Is he quietly speaking the truth?

 

[GrumpyKoala]

You two, go in your room and no nintendo for the day!
