The 2019-2020 MotherFucking Season Thread

There's nobody available that really seems to excite. They're probably looking to, by means of one or more trades, move out Ceci's expiring deal and replace him with a guy that can actually play top 4 minutes. If they're not going to re-sign Barrie...and they probably aren't at this point...looking into doing the same with him might be a good idea.
 
They’re already down 2-0.

I know they lost a lot of talent but man... they’ve been flat out bad since November.

It's not even really the talent they've lost. Kaskisuo was rocking a .930 early on in the season, he's down to a .910 and Woll was floating around .900 over his first 10-12 games and he's down to a .890
 
Really would have been nice to see some signs of life from the goalies in the system this year. Instead, Kaskisuo still looks like a mediocre AHL goalie, Woll's having a really tough rookie year and Ian Scott's career might be over.

Yeah this.

What happened with Scott? That would be disappointing.
 
Was never really bullish on any of them anyway. Mediocre prospects at best.


Yeah, I didn't have much expectation for Woll or Kaskisuo. Woll's numbers were pretty "meh" in College. Kaskisuo's 26 and had a 100+ game track record of being mediocre in the AHL & ECHL

I was curious to see Scott, though. He played behind a really good team last year, but the numbers he put up were still absurd.

Hasn't played a single game this season, and apparently will be out for the whole year. The reason was surgery for "hip impingement", which is apparently one of the worst injuries a goalie can have.
 
As good as 2016 was to us in getting us Matty, we really fucked up the second rounder by taking Korshkov. Carter Hart was the perfect pick, and if not him Debrincat was hanging out still. Gross whiff on 31.

Some here don't like you, I have no idea why. But I am not one of them at all. Korshkov was a pretty large whiff indeed.

Pretty stunning Dubas didn't whine and cry for Debrincat. If he is indeed the skill freak.

But to me, the utter lack of respect for goaltending is what concerns me for the Leafs now.

We have had Hutchison, as a backup for what? 50 games?

That is pretty insane. No wonder Fred has blown a tire.

The common belief that goalies are voodoo, may be somewhat justified. Possibly.

But to have Fred Andersen and a pile of nothing behind him, in an organization as talented as ours?

That is just bad imho. Not good at all.

Everyone including Dubas seem to be concerned with Moore, Johnsson, Kapanen, Engvall, etc...

Seriously? All good, but none are between the pipes. We have no one right now who can stop a puck.

Guess Dubas believes in Fred totally. Hope he is right.

Jordan just showed the NHl, and me, why the ST. Louis BLues became the best team in the NHL last year.

He stoned all the top scorers, in the all star challenge.

Duh. Why, why is this such a stupidly ill researched part of hockey Mindz? Zeke< BL?

Guys after NOT scoring on the guy, were like chuckling.

Get Fred back to best Fred and get a backup Doobie... No more backslapping for finding a talented smurf, like Robertson.

I am going to be pathetically first, again,.

Develop goaltenders. Get Goaltenders.

And forget the seventh round great forwards Bergman obtains.


Show a futuristic outlook. Show that the Leafs understand. That Bower, Sawchuk, were legends, were deserved to be honoured.

And please don't tell us Joseph Woll has any ability.

Yes, Ian Scott seemed to be a high end fluke. But the poor kid injuried out.

Shanahan, Dubas, check out goaltending and check out Jordan Binnington and at the same time, and maybe check out Curtis Josepy and Dominik Hasek.

Until you do, I will tell, both of you, the same thing I told my best friend, gord Stellick.



You really don't get the WHOLE picture.

No more talk about forwards or defence.

Montreal, took a huge huge shot with Carey Price.

Did they win? Well, who needs to discuss that now.

But Carey Price made that team almost unbeatable.

Toronto, should be developing this type of player.

And we are not.

I find any discussion about anything other than goaltending ignorant from here on in.

We have a good number one struggling, and a plug for a backup,

End of story.

Who cares about Moore, Gauthier, Engvall Timashov?

I mean, who cares, if they know about hockey

We have NO backup, and our top guy, might be... I dunno. I hope he is okay.

What do I know? Not much.

But all I will say, is that our overtime is 3 on 3.

Not saying anything, I am stunned that the NHL went beyond four on four.

All I can say, is that when dinosaurs figure something out, they tend to move rapidly. But holy shit, it can take decades for them to get going.

Hockey, is fantastic now. Every player on the ice can skate.

If I was the chairman of the NHL, that would have been AROUND in 1973.

But it took decades, longer.

Decades...

But hey, at least it is here.

The dinosaurs, finally figured some shit out.

Hockey players are not what they once were.....

They are products of hockey factories that cost their parent probably 30-50 k usd a year.

My message to the NHL and the MLSE guys, understand how important goalies and goaltending is.

Is anyone laughing at Joe Sakic or Doug Armstrong right now.

Not I.

Do we have a stockpile of NHL guys in goal.

We have almost nothing.

Calling it one more time. GOALTENDING. Sawchuk, Bower.

Jordan Binnington.. etc....

Curtis Joseph must be laughing his ass off, about now.

Hey... Matrim, you are a respected poster. But I think that post was posted with some consideration.

Toronto and Montreal are the two toughest spots to play in. And I don't that think stats alone, take that in.

I had a very edgy, erratic ride in a cab in Montreal.

Why?

My cabbie had a freaking tv set set into his steering wheel. And I guess the Habs game was going his way.. True story.

Cabbie had a freaking tv set, set into his steering wheel, to follow the Habs.

Will we see that kind of passion again? Maybe Possibly. But I don't see anyone loving the Habs like that any more. Nowhere.

We never saw that in Toronto, ever. But Montreal? Ahhh, it was amazing, these guys were gods in Montreal.

I hope we see that again, but I doubt we will. Not in my lifetime, I will bet the houses on it.

Mike Johnson is a voice of reason in a sea of morons. Thread summarizes him basically calling Dreger and Andi idiots.
