The Fucking Season Thread - Redemption Tour '22

[Habsy]

You’re crying way more than Habs fans. They’ll turn it around. Sheesh.

We're not really at the point where "turning it around" is the goal. It's how they do it. They've shown just way too much quit over the last few years despite the obvious skill and ability to win hockey games. Watching them take a fat shit to start the season isn't encouraging and even if they go back playing good hockey, we're going to want to see them show balls and a legit burning desire to win close games before we get excited. That's just where we are as a team. "Good" isn't good enough.

David Backes' comments seem fairly relevant to a team some of us are quite familiar with ...

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Cool, so we're never winning it.

 

[Habsy]

Habs may have been dirty but they were indeed physical and laid it all out there. Lost to a team $18m over the cap.

 

[Wayward DP]

Haha, now we get to lose to Chicago’s AHL team.

Sweet.

you've really figure out this whole Leafs fandom thing. trying to take notes...

Tough to keep up in this lecture. Might need to borrow your notes.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

To wake up one day and think Frenemy might be proven right is a very hollowing experience.

Just view it as a comedy, rather than a drama, with the Leafs as the punchline, and it all makes a lot more sense.

When I was saying they weren’t paying the price to win I was derided. They don’t.

Whenever it starts to get you down, just remember that at least we're not New York Jets fans.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

We are Jets fans, just in a different sport.

whenever it starts to get me down, I remember the Raps title run.

At least my years of investment as a Toronto sports fan have borne some fruits...

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I want a Leafs extra large banana. Nothing less.

 

[Wayward DP]

I'd settle for some melons but to each their own

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Settle? Did you learn nothing from Amazon? ALL OR NOTHING.

So in the “shoulda, woulda, coulda” version of the standings, the Leafs aren’t doing half-bad?

Yay!

 

[LeafOfFaith]

After watching the last few games, I don't know which advanced stat could legitimately place us anywhere above dead last.

Yay!

It's the new version of the standings, custom made for this very moment so that we can cope with the teams failures. Of course, there's no mention of their schedule difficulty, which has been hilariously soft thus far.
