Was our competition mostly horrible those years too? I hope so. This team feels broken.

I was thinking this was pretty much status quo for October. Leafs at .500 and the this board having a meltdown. They were saying in the 3rd period that, at this point last year Florida and Edmonton were 17th and 30th respectively in the league.
9 games in. 73 to go.

Well that makes me feel better. If there’s one thing we wanted for this year after another playoff embarrassment, new management, and a new coach… it was the status quo.

Yeah, it's early.
Will they get their shit together and become a team? Time will tell I guess.
Personally, I was very happy with the good start but holy fuck, it looks like the same old shit all over again now.
Watching the game last night I found myself becoming disinterested in it as it progressed. Maybe that's a good thing, I don't know.

Ya but “this is the exact same as every other year” is depressing.

A new coach isn’t changing something?

They've been spending like 50% of their cap on the same 4-5 players for the last what, 5 years? And same results every year. Same patterns. But maybe this year it'll work yeah.

The team is stale. They’re mentally obstructed because these same guys know they haven’t been good enough to get to the next level and are playing like they think they can’t. They have to add another dynamic player to inject some life without subtracting any of the big names, to instill the belief that they have that extra to advance as a group.
Someone like Karlsson would’ve been great. Someone like Hertl, Meier. Just someone at that level, and for fuck sake, move out the trash like Reaves, Kampf, Timmins, etc., and let league minimum kids sink or swim in those roles.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
The only way you're going to change the status quo is to break up the core 4. Everything else is just rearranging deck chairs.

When new Cap is on pace for 60+ goals by Christmas, this is going to look really silly.

That isn't a counterargument.

I am 65 and have been a Leafs fan my entire life. I can honestly say that this year I truly don't like this team. I am so fed up with mediocre performance by what should be a dynamic, skilled and physical offensive powerhouse. It has finally dawned on me that this will never, ever be this team. My resolve has been broken. The one and only positive has been Stolarz.
