You are missing my point. My point isn't that people are "actively" doing this. I am saying it could be a byproduct of something else. It could be a byproduct of too much media attention on the team. It could be a byproduct of the team management not complaining enough. It could be a...

As I said on my original post, I don't think it's a case of Bettman having a poster on his wall that says "F*** the Leafs", my exact words saying I don't think it is malicious. Joe S brings up an interesting point, what if it's just the fact that the NHL focuses on the teams that are in the...

I think it has to do with an assumption that the NHL doesn't want to appear biased towards Toronto, what with the head offices being in Toronto, so that leads to punishments being less severe for things that happen towards Toronto, and more of a punishment for things that the Leafs do. There's...

There is a bit of that which filters into the decision. When I was younger, the only thing that saved my relationship with my father was probably the Leafs. No matter how things got between the two of us, we could sit down and watch the Leafs play hockey for two to three hours. I also get...

That is the path of thinking I started going down on the weekend. I look at the Leafs as entertainment. This would put it in the same category as a T.V. show or a movie I think. Maybe the same as a video game. If it's compared to a T.V. show, I tend to see a show out until it is cancelled...

The reason I ran the above list is here is where I am at. I am starting to question why I invest time and money into this team, and to a larger extent the NHL. I've had time to think about it since Saturday night. I've employed the 24 hour rule to let my emotions calm down and this is the...

I wanted to do some checking on suspensions. I had ChatGPT run a list. Here is the number of players that have been suspended for infractions against the Leafs since 2017-2018 (Originally picked this year, because that is what it had told was the last time a player had been suspended for...

While I understand the sentiment, what are the odds that an NHL team goes 60 years ( cuz it's gonna be at least that) without making a Stanley Cup finals apperance? The only other teams without a finals apperance didn't even exist when the Leafs last did it. I know we shouldn't take it...

This team is an embarrassment. Move the god damn team to Quebec. They don't deserve fans money.

This is something that I have always tried to put into words. I feel that I will fail here, but I will try. I don't think Matthews, Nylander, and Marner respect the playoffs. When the Leafs decided that winning was more important than building out the team in Matthews and Marner's first year...

That d is POISON!!! Never trust a big butt and smile....

I'm sorry, but is Bell Biv DeVoe playing on the second line for Columbus tonight? Look at that. Hockey and a show all wrapped into one.

The initial explanation was that it was because Rantanen got tied up with Mayfield before "running into" Romanov

I think that after every Leafs loss, they should have a help line that you can phone, and it's just William Nylander telling you that things are going to be fine. I watched his post game last night. I don't know if he has a pulse. What did you see on your first goal? Awww...Snipe...

That has goal of the year potential.

Lorentz. Not the hero we need. The hero we deserve.

I think the easiest way through is to just hope they make the playoffs the next two years so that the pick is in the 16 to 20 range. Once you start approaching the 2030 timeframe, that is when the team will probably need to be reconfigured.

More than likely though that the struggling Blues find their game against the Leafs.

From here: https://puckpedia.com/trade/977 Top 5 protected, slides to 2027. The 2027 pick goes to Philadelphia (as part of Laughton trade) if it is outside the top 10, which converts this pick to Boston to a 2028 unprotected 1st Round Pick. If this Pick slides to 2027 and is in the top 10, TOR...
