obviously what has to happen now is that the Leafs go on to win the Cup playing gudpro hockey, with Luke Backbone Schenn scoring the winner in OT.

there will be Matthews and 4 defencemen on the ice

 

[MindzEye]

At this point I don't care.

Just win. I don't care if we fluke into it, or win because Auston and Mitch go supernova for 6 weeks, whatever. I just want a cup or fire everyone

So beating TB then getting clobbered by BOS but everyone keeps their jobs is the worst timeline?

 

[MindzEye]

Yes

You will never hear me applaud them winning a single round.

I think being a fan involves wearing multiple hats. At some point, you have to toss your GM hat in the corner and wear your coach hat… just looking to win the next game in front of you.

The concern I have is that the priors for this type of performance over a 10+ game period are not very encouraging re: winning a cup.

But ch1 is right... Still worth fangirling over them and enjoying every last bit of it. There is enough there worth getting excited over even if they butchered their team a bit.

 

[thehabhater]

Yes

You will never hear me applaud them winning a single round.

And it is certainly better than issuing rings for losing in the third round.

 

[CH1]

GM mode is fun… just get back into it during the summer

I'm having a tough time of it. I can't tell my brain to stop being logical and ignore reality and just blindly crush on the Leafs anymore.

They look shittier post deadline, and they're putting up shittier numbers. Sure, we're missing ROR, but I don't find it super encouraging.

Obviously the talent is still there. Just feels like we've given ourselves a fucking handicap, which was the last thing these guys needed. They could still pull it off of course cause Leafy outcomes, but yeah.

GM mode is my favorite part of it all. But that's probably only because I never witnessed a Leafs cup.

 

[CH1]

GM mode is my favourite too… and the most popular mode for most of us here… but GM season ended with the deadline and will only commence in the summer

It's true. I now need to put on my irrational fangirl hat and ignore all grim indicators. Which I have. I mostly find their horrific play hilarious at this point. Zeke should feel realgud about his initial analysis.
