I was really looking forward to hating Sunny Mehta in late 2028. But really, anyone else will do just fine.

Willy is 4 seasons away from being the franchise all time points leader. This is my new Stanley Cup.

My apathy for Matthews is largely based on playoff results and the culture that was exposed under his watch after the Gudas hit. But if you were around for the Sundin debacle, and recently the Marner situation, you can appreciate my reluctance to see another A+ asset walk.

I appreciate Auston Matthews skirting the question about his future and keeping his trade demands in house.

Auston Matthews buying Auston Matthews stock is very Auston Matthews.

The only players I care about being back. Knies, Cowan, Nylander, Macelli, a goalie.

Now would be a good time to send the team a message by benching Willy

If Sportsnet doesn't switch over to Bonsie play by play for 1 period, I just don't know anymore.

Babs, Lou, Dubas, Keefe, Tre and soon Berube. All fired due to a lack of playoff results. Not a single one of them can be evaluated accurately when the Panthers have 12 guys that would take your heads off and we have the baseline intensity of Elias Peterson x10 years.

This is what happens when your 4 best players have no clutch and no it factor. Go 0/28 on the PP in clinching and elimination games. Coaches and GM's start making mistakes to compensate and get fired. Things start to unwind and suddenly ownership is overreaching. 0 for fucking 28. This will be pain

Settle down chief

Feel free to be fake outraged, I don't really GAF at this point, but JT's 31 goals must be the most irrelevant 31 goal season in the history of the NHL. Literally all he did was score 31 goals. No peripheral contribution. Yeah, face off yada yada yada...

What a classy move by the organization to take Bonzie all the way to Ottawa for his final game while their still carrying the burden of paying 3 ex coaches and GM's. Just the ultimate sacrifice.

I'm not trying to play God over the Toronto Maple Leafs, I'm just trying to heal them.

If the Leafs don't get an impactful lottery pick to potentially salvage this era that is hanging by a thread, it would be devastating to retool around these scraps. Willy = Phil JT = JVR Rielly = Dion Matthews = Bozie Obviously 34 is better, but the point is, he ain't it.

The older the President or GM the Leafs hire, the more old cronies he's acquired along the way that he's loyal to from his playing days. Avoid at all cost.

I feel for die hard Leafs fans who were hobby Jays fans, then became die hard Jays fans last September because it made them feel something. Now they're just double miserable.

29th overall is achievable. For all the losing in big moments they've done over the years, surely they can muster up 4 more loses with this bad, checked out roster.

I have to get this off my chest before 8PM eastern, 5PM Pacific in case we all get nuked. The Canucks made it to the Finals under Gillis because the Sedins learned lessons. Any GM who comes in and says he feels 34,91,88 are somehow redeemable needs to be shown the door.

2 Playoff teams firing their coaches this late for a coach bump exposes so much hockey BS. Odog on OD always downplays the overcomplification of the game. They'll tell us it takes a full szn to acclimate to a new system. Then they do this. Just do your job and play with passion

I'm glad there's another retread crutch coach off the market.

Elliote knows as much as you and I. He just got himself on TV to say it.

I finally figured out what's never suited my eye about Robertson. He tries to play fast. But he's not fast. He never looks in control and it looks like he can't slow it down in his mind.

Having our thoughts hard wired into a word broadcasting machine is wild. Slow down Jays fans, It's April 3rd.

If the Leafs get a top 5 pick and take a dman I can already see what will happen. The Matthew Schaefer effect. It'll be expected right out of the gate and when it doesn't happen, we won't appreciate we had Shea Theodore but he'll me maligned for not being Schaefer. Rielly 2.0

On EP336 we data and structure to break down the last few days in Leaf Land. Our biggest takeaway was the Leafs are in bad hands and things need to change in a hurry. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e...

The assumption Armstrong would even want leave STL and live in Toronto is a bigger question than if he actually wants the job. It's well known players who play there stay there as much or more than any city in the league. You want to do that to work for Keith fucking Pelly?

Gudas done for the night. Good. Now go after the skilled guys

Domi doing his best to distance himself this ship of fools.

Pazetta getting 10 games for that.

So now it's just a regular game?

Cowan is one off season cycle of hay bailn' away from being a grown man.

The Treliving era will go down as one of the eras

No one's happier to be out of the lineup tonight than Auston Matthews

So Toronto was the problem when Marner left. Now Marner is the problem as Vegas underachieves and fires a good coach. Got it.

Whether it works out or not, the fearlessness with which Vegas operates make me jealous. They've lapped the Leafs as an expansion team in the this era while we just sat on our hands and hoped Leopards spots would change.

OK OKOAMOTO!

I've never owned a baseball jersey. Is it time?

Where was that last year? Haha. Just kidding. Fuck the Dodgers and the Bruins.

I hope they fixed that gap at the base of the fucking wall!

There's no amount of money that would be too much to get Gregory Campbell as the Leafs President. Literally a blank cheque. Just slide that signed thing across the table with a crisp ball point pen.

Finding out there's a game 90 minutes before puck drop is a wild new reality. You guys have to be better

Very disappointed. Tuned into to see Wayne Minten. Heard his name once.

Imagine not having each other's backs for 8 years but now you do. Are we supposed to happy?

I gave it a period

Regardless of the direction next season, I want to watch Maccelli.

It's fair that if I have to hold space for the "what about Yzerman and Ovi winning cups later" argument. That crowd has to hold space for the "both Auston and Willy could return game changing assets and kick start a rebuild" argument. Seems rational but likely too devicive.

The Leafs are going to win the draft lottery and leave the defencemen out there

I ran about 20 draft lottery simulations last night and the Leafs only snuck into the top 5 once. 7th last is death. We need worse.
