I think the Leafs have to go back to gooning it up like 2013. Keep Matthews, one of Marner/Nylander, Rielly and add a few more skilled guys. Then they need about 8 guys who can look after themselves and their teammates, but can still play somewhat.

They need to start turning games into a shitshow. Like proper carnage. The refs will not call everything against them all season. And they won't have like 12 suspensions in one season.

They've tried to have various levels of skill throughout the lineup and they don't get more PPs, any more benefit of the doubt, or fewer suspensions.

The organization has to really lean into it. We are on the precipice on achieving absolutely nothing while having the best player to ever play for the organization.

Problem is, will Rogers and Bell/ mlse corporate whores want that. Bells ok with laying off employees.. maybe they'll be on board to lay off some opposing players with crushing hits from the type of players you mentioned

Screw this main board thread. every poster there is pretending they wouldn’t back their player in the same situation. Either that or they are pansies.

Those guys would be the first crying foul if Rielly hot dogged a shot into their team's net.

The main board is a cesspool where intelligence goes to die. Add the serious lack of balls by the moderators, and you basically have a kindergarten class. Scratch that, toddlers in kindergarten are far more intelligent.



His comments are irrelevant. Rielly is getting a big suspension regardless.
 
Agreed. But it’s part of HF business model. Crapping on the Leafs is good for business as it gains alot of interest. Best thing Leaf’s fans can do is ignore the mains completely. It’s not fair but it’s the only option. It wasn’t long ago a few higher ups were joking about how it’s weird users don’t pay for the sponsorship here because we’re forced to use ad blockers. Why would we pay to support incompetence. I’ll use the ad blockers not pay and stick to discussing Leafs hockey in the Leafs board.

I don't think I have made a post in a Mains GDT since I registered for HF
 
lol @AchtzehnBaby Sens mod voting on this poll. Stick to crying on the main boards.
The mods hate the Leafs on this site. Understandable, they are only fans as well at the end of the day.

That Soup Nazi bloke goes on and on about how he hates the Leafs and their fans.

This site isn't easy going for Leafs fans (unless you stay here).

What's the over/under on the amount of wet dreams from the peanut gallery last night?

If the Leafs ever go all the way, it'll be big business for suicide lines nationwide.
 
Reilly will almost certainly receive a larger penalty than other players received with similar disciplinary records. The dops in this league is a complete joke.

The potentially net positive element of this whole ordeal is there seems there may be a bit of a 'rally around the flag's moment for the team. This team could definitely benefit from an "us against the world" outlook right now
If only we could get the core 4 on board, we'd be laughing.

Didn't Rielly get Kucherov crosscheck on the face in last year's playoffs that gave him a bloody face after Rielly seemingly crosschecked Point on the board (eventually led to Stamkos trying to fight Matthews and got him off the ice)? I don't recall Kucherov getting any suspension for his reaction.

Usually this type of bias judgement from player safety to us only happens to us in the playoffs, but since this year we are at risk of not making the playoffs, it is happening to us at a crucial point in the regular season.

The department of George Parros wasn't knocked unconscious by the Lightning

Picture a group of children riding the short bus. That's the main board in a nutshell.

Cheap shots and injuries are looked upon differently during the playoffs, or so I was told.
 
Third man in + automatic suspension for the instigator with under 5 min left.

I'm fine with it, but damned if you do, damned if you dont

Pretty much. Imagine the response if a few guys had pounded Grieg. There would be thread bans all around.

Mod of that thread keeps posting videos of Matthews goal celebrations... Thinking on some way it's showboating the same as the clapper from that 3rd liner guy on the sens, I forgot his name already.

We need Benoit (balls) to go out and slap an open net one game and then turn around and kick the shit outta whoever it is that would wanna hit him. If I was Keefe I'd draw that up as a game plan for future games.

Jealousy is a bitch. Can't say I blame him.

That mod would also pick Timmy U-boat over Matthews. Not very intelligent IMO.
