Leaf Rumours

My expecatiations for this team were reset when Burke basically gutted the roster and started from block one.

Consider the current Leafs line-up a post JFJ expansion team and you'll feel a lot better about how they play.

The season is 9 days old, the team came out gang-busters and fell apart in the 2nd of back-to-back games.
 
The media is one thing but I find it makes being a Leaf fan even harder when you have Leaf fans here shitting on the Leafs non-stop as well. Hear it from all angles. I guess I just don't see why I should be freaking out - I knew it was probably gonna be a rough season, I predicted them out of the playoffs but I thought they'd be out of the bottom 5. So why freak out when they start the season 2-3? I don't see it as "accepting failure", I'm not saying it's "OK" but if you predict your team to finish out of the playoffs, why the **** would anyone be whining so goddamn much after 5 games? Doesn't make any sense at all.
 
I kind of want to buy into this Leafs suck thing, because IMO getting a guy like Jones or maybe even MacKinnon, Barkov, Drouin or Monahan would be great for this organization. But I just don't see how they can be as bad as everyone thinks. This is by far the Leafs best roster in the last 5 years, and as bad as they have been they've only drafted that high once.
 
The fun part is the journey, and when they do start winning, it will be much sweeter.

If you want it easy, jump ship and buy a pens jersey. Have fun and enjoy all the winning.

Ah. Just checking.

Cause last year all the Sens vs Leafs games saw the Sens on their 2nd game of back-to-backs. Apparently that was no big deal according to this board.

Oh, was that also a 48 game season with no warmup games or real training camp to speak of? Must've missed that.
 
So I could be going crazy, but think I may have just caught a yahoo article poaching content from here.

Burke’s biggest mistake wasn’t that he acquired Kessel for two first-round picks, it was that he overvalued the talent on his roster thinking that the addition of Kessel would turn the Leafs into a playoff team. He rushed.

I definitely read that here on this board today, I think in this thread (I'm writing a factum now so not going through page by page to look), but I'm not sure if it was somebody quoting that article, or if that magically appeared in the article after being said here...
 
I have very little interest in hockey. I think I'm the only one who had the lockout ****ed up interest in the game. I can't wait for Spring training to start.

I remember reading that pretty much word for word here though almost immediately prior to the article being published...
