Yup but they definitely said let’s finish 8th in the east cause only the playoffs matter boys.

You can be facetious all you want.

The bruins have never been a bottom feeder team. They have always been one of the better teams in the east. Their play from the regular season translates over. Same with the Rangers, while they may not have won the cup. They’ve made the conference finals multiple times. They weren’t shitty teams. They took winning in the regular season serious.
Mitchy should be calked “Serious Mitch” from now on. He’s the only one that seems to give a damn
 
people sometimes care about the regular season, for example when the team loses 3 in a row

Only because how they lose is an insight into how they will face adversity in the playoffs. If there character is to get boos for a shit game and respond with two more shit games people aren't exactly thinking contender anymore.
 
We made the playoffs that year.

I think you’re thinking of 2007
oh right in my mind I was in first year university listening to that last game on an audio stream in the library but that was 03/04 and now I can remember watching Hossa score on Belfour in game 1 vs Ottawa that same year. when the Leafs tied it late to send it to OT to keep their season alive. was that 07?
 
The fans are cursed. The organization and players are doing well for themselves with or without success on the ice.
LOL. Cynical as hell, but fair point. Rich as f***, and looked upon as gods. Unreal.

Though to be fair, they do have success during the regular season, and if you can forget playoff failures then they're a ton of fun to watch when things are going well.

They have become boring under Berube. You can be good and exciting in the regular season. See Avs, Jets and Oil. Hard to believe this team can't score goals with more than half the cap going to 4 super, elite forwards.

”The best” forward, mind you. He’s 2nd in assists!
That is because others like McDavid and Kutch are too busy trying to score goals. Mitch instead has decided to corner the market in assists. Shame there is not award for assists. The Molson Cup might be Mitch's greatest achievement in Blue and White.

Hey now, 2nd in assists means that he’s the second best playmaker in the league. He should be paid more than Draisaitl imo

He's destroying Draisaitl 46-33. As great a year Scheifele and Connor are having, they are not close to Mitch. Hell, Mitch is up on McJesus. Pay him already and alot.

I wouldn’t go that far (McDavid), but he’s certainly the second best player in the league. He’s shown that year after year, and now he’s carrying the Leafs with his extraordinary playmaking. Take away him, and who’s going to pass it to the goalscorers? That’s right - no one!

You bet your life. I was told if we sub Ranta for Marner, nobody will be able to get him or Matty the puck.

Those teams have speed and dynamic players. The leafs are missing the speed element!

I dunno, there’s some speedy players there..McMann, Marner, Lorentz…

if we look at McDavid vs Matthews or MacKinnon vs Matthews. McDavid and MacKinnon attack the zone with such speed and back up the defense opening up a shot or pass for others. Matthews doesn’t do that for his line.
 
Marner with an "A" is another stain on this organization's ability to assess character.

As associate captain you'd think he'd have a more TEAM mindset. Not "I'm perfect and everyone else are the ones making mistakes". Marner has single handedly lost games but never a peep about how he needs to play better.

He's an associate captain but doesn't accept responsibility for the team's losses like a real leader would.

As a leader you shouldn't be deflecting blame on others while absolving yourself. Scapegoating is a sign of poor leadership. If you have a letter on your jersey an attitude like that is inexcusable.

His continued lack of being an example my kids should follow is pathetic.

He just comes across as a stereotypical rich kid. All he sees in the mirror is how good he looks. Completely incapable of accepting any responsibilty.

Counting his stacks wondering how to get out of Fort Knox with his reputation intact.
