Yup. Teams just sat back and the Leafs couldn't generate any speed through the neutral zone and that was largely due to their D not being able to move the puck.The Leafs D couldn’t move the puck quick enough in the playoffs last year with Lilly, Gus and good Brodie.
That was their Achilles heel.
3D Chess Move - Leafs got him so Tampa Bay and Boston couldn't!!You guys are looking at it wrong. If you get enough of them (now get Savard), there won’t be any left to cross check the Leafs.
Yes. But only because we’ve had somewhat functional goaltending at times instead of consistent league-worst goaltending.
And because Rielly > Phaneuf, and because Kessel never had any teammates as good as either Marner or Nylander.
I think we just have to come to terms with the fact that Shanny is a typical dumb-as-fuck ex-player who lucked into taking over this team right as they were in the middle of having an all-time great and two star level players fall into their laps in consecutive drafts.
And he’s been dining out on that ever since while squandering the primes of their careers.
So to recap, this deadline we upgraded our team by swapping Liljegren, Timmins, 2 3rds, a 5th, and a 6th, for 2 if the worst dmen in hockey.
Nick Ritchie?Okay who’s a really fucking crappy forward who is big. That’s who we’re getting next
oh HL has us covered I think. team zen no more.I don't have the energy to be angry today. Yesterday wiped me out. You guys are gonna need to carry the load here.
