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.

That lineup is so bad. At what point do we punt on this year? Ugh.

Nick Petan, Denis Malgin, defending Codi Ceci, constantly trading down, not prioritizing goaltending, building a gigantic analytics dept. that ultimately didn't amount to much. Smart moves and believing you solved a market inefficiency can be two different things.

It definitely feels that way. This is the opposite of what the Blue Jays looked like.

Both GMs were pretty dreadful over their time here, pressure to win or not. Lou overpaid vets and Dubas overpaid the young forwards and routinely thought he was outsmarting the league. Dubas had plenty of his own mistakes to fix and atone for.

Crazy that they still don't want to sub in Kampf as 4C. What has he done to get that much hate from the coach?

There's some talk about people wondering if Lalonde has caused a bit of this. Its hard to believe that Berube wins an Atlantic title and pushes Florida to 7 and then has told them to play porous defense.

Apparently not. I also have a hard time believing that this team isn't potentially as good as last year - it's not like they made the finals. The team as of Wednesday night had one of the highest goals for and very high 5v5 goals. We are not want for scoring, which was easily the main thing...

At the same time teams are moving all over the place and it depends on which teams are on heaters or not. The Canadiens and Red Wings are 1-2 in the Atlantic. Penguins 2nd in the Metro, Mammoth 3rd in Central, Ducks 1st & Kraken 3rd in Pacific. Kind of unfair to call all but 2 teams the Leafs...

24/25 Leafs After 14 Games: 16pts 25/26 Leafs After 14 Games: 17pts

Much better effort this game. Good on Maccelli.
