That would be the Leafiest thing possible. Bruins get the 6th pick and get a hall of famer.

I have to admit, this season felt like much more of a chore than past years. Back in the pre-Matthews era when I handled it, there was at least some legitimate hope on the horizon with high draft picks and a new management team. Now, it just feels like... ugh

And we have finally reached the "Thank God it's almost over" chunk

It's hilarious that the goalie gives up 5 and gets man of the match, then you check the shots and realize Berube hockey necessitated him making more saves. Damn goalie why did you lose it for us!!?

I'm not watching but are the shots actually 40-9?

I agree. If Woll stays healthy through a playoff run and the Leafs adopt a system where they aren't consistently outshot and outchanced 2-to-1, they could surprise someone. But that requires a new coach, lineup tweaks, and Matthews finding his dominant offensive form again. That’s a lot of ifs.

After that circus of a press conference from Pelley, my faith in MLSE is non-existent. Ownership has clearly gone back to prioritizing the bottom line over the product on the ice. They don't seem to realize that a competent front office could deliver both profits and a winning team, but they’ve...

I remember back in 92/93, I was 24/25 years old and Leafs were going to the conference finals. I was like "surely they'll win a Cup in my lifetime! I won't die before I see a Cup they're on a great path now!!!" Sadly, I don't think it'll happen now.

When I see names like Gillis, Kevyn Adams and John Chayka I shudder. This thing could potentially get even worse than it already is

Oh I remember the Leafs of the 80s. Like an idiot I watched all the games that were televised. Getting into the playoffs with 52 points and thinking they had a chance! lol

It's like I'm back in 80s again. The Leafs had no hope of going anywhere and the Jays were an exciting team with world series aspirations.

Yup, that's when I pulled the plug. Nothing intelligent in that press conference

Tried watching the presser on YouTube, couldn't make it through, Pelley sounded like a complete moron I stopped partway through. When he was saying "well we didn't expect Buffalo and Montreal to be good!", I couldn't believe it. MLSE is a mess and I don't see things getting any better for the...

Like others have pointed out, Dubas has to do what ownership wants of him. Their orders are "make the playoffs at all costs while we still have Sid" so that's what he's trying to do. I'm sure he knows they need a rebuild, but he's not allowed to do it.

There's no secret, you need great top end players, and then the right "mix" of supporting cast. Pens still have the top-end talent (although they are aging rapidly), and the supporting cast is working out for them now. I'm sure had Dubas stayed and been allowed to trade Marner for more than...

It's painfully obvious the Shanahan decision to fire Dubas and hire Treliving was the worst decision of his entire presidency. The fact that Shanahan banked on the core-4 for so long, the ultimate downfall of this entire era.
