And Cherry warns about bad hockey karma if you run up the score

When it's more that the odds of two straight blowouts are really low.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Weird, they didn't boo Lou

Lou has respect around the game

Built what? He inherited this team and took them nowhere. It took him his entire tenure to realize we need grit and then promptly traded more assets to get it because why not we're already down 5 first round picks and almost every 2nd as well. You're already seeing how a hard nosed GM builds a team. We have a legit chance this year and it will only go up with more moves for hard nosed players.

The last time a Leaf recorded a Gordie Howe Hattrick was Daniel Winnik, Feb 21st 2015

 

[All Mod Cons]

He's still only 25?


Might be a hidden gem.

I remember when there were loads of JFresh graphs posted when we signed Benoit. It was like, and?

 

[CaptainCrunch17]

Man if I was Crosby I’d break every stick on the bench and maybe the door too lol

Dubas just needs to clear some cap space and find another 10 million dollar player on a long term contract.

Danniel Winnik got us 2 2nd round picks back to back years

Dude was a legend

 

[al secord]

Seems like McCabe repairs his face every game

Honestly, most fans know and understand that. There's only a small subsection that don't.

Buffalo Bill is a good bleeder, that’s a underrated skill

He's been signing/trading for grit the whole time he's been here...

ROR, Acciari, McCabe, Muzzin, Foligno, Clifford, Simmonds, Gio, etc...

We are doing the same thing this year we do every year...

I really don't see how people look at this team and go "this year is different".

I think the results can be different, but this is the same thing we do every year.

 

[Aashir]

Holy f*** we are pitying this shit franchise rn

Could have big 3 and domi with rielly

 

[Metroid]

Why can't Keefe coach like the oilers and still stack the PPs. I need fantasy points from marner ..
Annoying

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Running a 4th line PP to me is more of a shot then if you just run your main guys lmao

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Lol has this unit practiced together? Great puck movement

 

[notDatsyuk]

They are booing the guy that mostly built the team they are cheering. Makes good sense.

We've already figured out the team is better after only a few months without him.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

Those home tickets are expensive. Play the stars

If Dubas was here our D would be calling up AHL smurfs and not playing these "long" D we have back there looking incredibly solid.

He traded assets for every single one of the players you listed and retained almost none of them. That isn't building a hard team, that's patching holes.

But it was like a submarine peppered by a machine gun and he patched a couple holes.

He is Dubas' friend. That's why he didn't challenge the Gregor goal and sent out the Marlies guys for PP.

 

[notbias]

We wanted to trade everyone and cancel Matthews' contract like a month ago.

 

[Aashir]

Damn pp1 not touching the ice at all lol

So by this you think Dubas was a good team builder? Honestly that is laughable. The proof was in the pudding.

 

[fahad203]

Need more Dubas chants

It's not worth winning if you can't win big.
