We have decided this already?Not this decades blackhawks?

You might want to stop beating yourself up by comparing Toronto to Pittsburgh. Toronto isn't as good as Pittsburgh.Anderson is not to blame at all. One bit. I blame the system entirely. Leafs have a ton of offence and a solid backend that makes up any shortcomings with mobility. If Pens won with their D the past few years (minus Letang) Toronto can too.
Well the hawks made the wcf 2 years after drafting 1OA and won the cup 3 years after. I expected improvement from last year tbhWe have decided this already?
Well let's see next year.Well the hawks made the wcf 2 years after drafting 1OA and won the cup 3 years after. I expected improvement from last year tbh
Do you think the Leafs of this year and Hawks of 2009 or 2010 are comparable in any meaningful way?Well the hawks made the wcf 2 years after drafting 1OA and won the cup 3 years after. I expected improvement from last year tbh

I do think their forwards are, and despite his struggles in this series, Freddy is better than Niemi.Do you think the Leafs of this year and Hawks of 2009 or 2010 are comparable in any meaningful way?
And the defense?I do think their forwards are, and despite his struggles in this series, Freddy is better than Niemi.
Rielly is 24. Just as good as Keith was. Sorry but true.And the defense?
Goaltending is not that much of a difference to make up for the defensive shortcomings the Leafs have in comparison.
No I don't.Do you think the Leafs of this year and Hawks of 2009 or 2010 are comparable in any meaningful way?
Keith scored 70 pts and won a Norris in 2010Rielly is 24. Just as good as Keith was. Sorry but true.
At age 27. Rielly could have had 60 without his injury.Keith scored 70 pts and won a Norris in 2010
I'm not sure I agree with you 100% on your police work there, Lou.Rielly is 24. Just as good as Keith was. Sorry but true.
With an invisible (if not outright mediocre) Matthews, that d-corps and a perimeter anchor (so far) like Nylander, there's not much he can do.http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/hey-hey-ho-ho-mike-babcock-has-got-to-go.2479961/
So seeing as we’re not allowed to negatively discuss Babcock on the Leafs board I’d like to get other fans’ opinions on him.
I really think the Leafs would’ve fared much better with Cassidy/Sullivan/Quenneville/Cooper as their coach as opposed to Babcock.
Guy has been taken to school thanks to his stubbornness all series.
bake em away toys!I'm not sure I agree with you 100% on your police work there, Lou.
I understand that you're not art of the "7-1 over the last two seasons" and "Andersen is 10-1 lifetime" crowd.I don't think Babs is the issue and I don't really think the "kids" need to learn a lesson. I get that many had high hopes for the Leafs coming into the playoffs with 105 points but they ran into a better team in round one and Boston is a terrible matchup for this Leafs team.
That one is part of his strategy.He should also use the boards/glass more to clear the puck instead of passes up the middle that get picked off
When the pass is there sure but don't force it if it isn'tThat one is part of his strategy.
Not sure if serious:Yeah, that guy never replaces coaches.
Small detail that you seem to have forgotten: If their division is the worst, they would play less games against the bottom teams of the Atlantic and face better opposition if in a different divisionThat statement does not exactly tell the full picture. Worst division yes, but the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the entire NHL were in that division. The Leafs would be 2nd or even 1st in the other divisions.
They also might play les games against top contenders in other divisions.Small detail that you seem to have forgotten: If their division is the worst, they would play less games against the bottom teams of the Atlantic and face better opposition if in a different division
