I don't know why people think that if we did something differently it would definitely be a lot better in comparison when we really don't know what the outcome would've been. Would we even have a 2nd line center?

I mean you definitely think looking at those injuries that the team would be struggling.

So is this going to be pond hockey or the most boring 1-0 loss you've ever seen?

What about when Wade Belak had a spider bite his foot?

The injuries are coming fast and furious this year... Hard to see how we're a playoff team unless everything starts breaking our way.

Has anyone beyond Ron Hainsey worked with Rielly? It truly boggles the mind.

You basically need to convince other teams that the players you have just need a change of scenery or aren't one to play Berubes system. I'm sure that's easier said than done though.

I'm with you on on almost all of this. What do you mean by the JR comment? Personally I'm worried he'll never be able to stay healthy and turn into latter day Wendel, except without all the attributes that made Wendel a fan favourite regardless of injuries.

Even if the Leafs sell out every game I've never bought into the idea that ownership doesn't care, especially this group. Look at how much money and goodwill Rogers earned with the Jays this year. If they could have even a sliver of that every year wouldn't they want that vs. being tied to a...

And that's the thing that grinds me. Why couldn't the Boston pick be top-10 protected? And even then we've only had one really strong swing with our picks in ROR and that didn't pan out either. I'm tired of this core, and if Matthews is going to be a shell of his former self then we've got to...

Gavin McKenna here we come!

Who's the replacement GM?

You have to think this will probably beget some movement.

I was going to say, isn't MacKinnon the one that went after his teammates for not eating healthy enough? He seems like a psychotic hardass who will do anything to win and will call out his team. How many times did the core here not take accountability and deflect it or say they can't listen to...

Speaking of Cowan, I can't believe I already consider him one of their best options in a 2nd line winger role than what they have available.
