The Fucking Season Thread - Redemption Tour '22

Fat D, that’s what we need.

I would usually call bullpoop on something like this but my eye test agrees with this vigorously.....

 

[zeke]

I mean nobody would complain about us adding a beefy Dman....as long he's actually good at hockey.

NHL’s top power plays driving scoring to new heights - TSN.ca

The Toronto Maple Leafs are a bona fide Stanley Cup contender. The St. Louis Blues are positioning themselves for another postseason bid. The Edmonton Oilers are fighting for their playoff lives. One thing ties these three clubs together: they all have blistering power-play units.

I regret to inform you all that we are still in "CAP JAIL".

 

[Preston]

At least they got out of cap hell. They're moving on up in the world!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Hope there's a cure for the cap AIDS we're getting in jail.

Yes, it's being terrible.... extreme step but may be necessary

There's so few of those in existence these days though.

There's 32 defenders in the NHL listed at 220+ and we have 2 of the 32. Most of the list is horrific as well.

Good: Rielly, Muzzin, Hedman, Burns, Hamilton, Parayko, Nurse, Chychrun
Okay: Hague, E Johnson, Risto, Dillon, Lindell
Meh: Oleksiak, Zadorov, Chiarot, Nemeth, Stanley, Foote, Cole, Schenn
Puke: Chara, Savard, McDermid, Tyler Myers, Jack Johnson, Hakanpaa, Graves

So yeah, most of the team in the league would love to have anyone on the top tier, most of the 2nd tier are playing mid pairing roles, and the bottom two tiers are crap. Almost wall to wall #6-7 defenders.

The talking heads want a fucking unicorn though. "you know what Toronto needs....Scott Stevens, a Scott Stevens type defender". Unicorn.

Who would be thrown out of the league within 5 games.

You can tell when the Leafs are winning, the summer contracts become more important to talk about.

Funny thing is, Bourne seems upset on Twitter about the criticism the title is click bait.

I think we need to change the word 'beefy' or 'big' with the word 'physical'.

 

[JackBurton]

"Beefy" sounds too gay pornish.

 

[Deckie007]

what about hunky?

 

[BG]

You guys are referring to 80's wrestlers yeah? Brutus Beefy and Hunky Hogan?

 

[JackBurton]

Brutus Beefcake is the gayest name ever.
