Mo should be stripped of his A and have it given to Nylander

At this point I 100% believe he is on a mission to bring this city a cup. I think he wants to be the guy. He is paid, treated like a king and loves it here.

More importantly. I actually believe he will be a part of what finally gets that done.

He's gone from the outhouse to the penthouse since he signed after "holding out" for two months and coming in out of shape. Hopefully he can keep up the 52 goal pace he is on and puts up close to 100 points.

I want him to get a rocket. I think that would be awesome. Two rocket winners on the same team. Maybe another fancy team related silver trophy as well.

Another good game offensively by Willy last night. He’s on his way to having a big goal scoring season.

It seems crazy to me that if he hits 40 again this year that he will become the 5th Leaf in history to have 3 40 goal seasons.

In the old days when the Leafs were good they had shorter seasons and/or low scoring environments. Then we had the long suffering Ballard era so it has only been relatively recently that there was much of an opportunity for a handful of star Leafs players to do stuff.

All of Matthews, Marner and Nylander will be high on various Leafs records if they continue to play in TO.

Regular season warriors but they have never competed like Sittler, Salming, McDonald, Sundin, Clarke, Gilmour, and Roberts in the playoffs. Playoff warriors.

Never thought Sundin fit with the others listed but ya, the current crop of stars is likely the most talented group the Leafs have ever had at one time. They just don’t lay it out there.

The entire core 4 has been a huge disappointment in the playoffs.

If people could finish his setups better he'd be on pace for a lot more than 100 points.

Not bad for a lazy second liner.

Willy's easily the best of the current crop, but we'll below those, at least so far.
