Imagine not having to overspend for warm bodies to fill up your bottom-6. What a world. Hey look, two smart pickups in one week by this management group. I could have sworn reading this forum the past five years that minimum contract guys like Dowd, Boyd, Vesey are far inferior to guys like Beagle, Roussel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV. Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Just now, Roger Neilsons Towel said: Leafs fan confirmed Lol nah. I just don't see a reason to hate the Leafs or take shots at them. Then again, I'm not from BC (though I'd love to visit one day) and maybe I don't quite get the hate. Do 4PM starts on a weekend really irk a whole province? Kinda lame if you ask me but to each their own. In any event, Shanahan started the same time as Linden/Benning. In that time, more playoff appearances than us, about the same (if not slightly better or worse) drafting, and a lot of positive moves during that time. Most of the blunders (made by Lou Lamoriello) were dealt with quickly by Dubas and many of the moves Dubas has made are ones that we should try to emulate (locking up his core, free-agent signings, trades), IMO. Right now, all we have to show far is one playoff round win more than the Leafs have in a similar time frame. That's impressive but hardly a reason to turn our noses up at them and some of the good things they've done that we should also try to do. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I’ll disagree with you with the love for what the leafs have been doing, this thought out response is a hell of a lot better than the zingy one-liners meant to provoke a negative response from other board members. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you’re so far off may as well start a new colony on whatever planet you’re on. You make no sense outside of trying to attract attention.

The Canucks went into this season with Juolevi and Chatfield as regulars. Combined 1 NHL game under their belt. The Leafs aren't icing a team of Norris winners but Rielly, Holl, Brodie, Muzzin, Bogosian with guys like Sandin and Liljegren on the cusp isn't horrible. They have improved their D in recent years and it seems to be helping. Goaltending, specifically Andersen, seems to be letting them down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldoescobar Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 While it is not an earth shattering move by any means, cant complain too much picking up some depth on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) The only reason I like to rag on the Leafs is because all the media (especially TSN) is so pro Toronto it makes me sick. I also think Matthews, despite being an excellent player, still has a lot of growing up to do, and his mustache looks horrible. As for Boyd, I think he is a good depth pickup... though I'm not and where he fits on this team... Edited March 22, 2021 by kloubek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duodenum Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hopefully depth adding because Sutter is on his way out. Dare to dream Benning has a brain. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol And yet the Laffs are now placing their hopes and dreams on Jack Campbell in the net. Too bad Top goaltender Freddie is now too burned. out to carry the team anymore. Can’t wait for the upcoming deep playoff run. The real plan is, we don’t play Boston in round one, so maybe we’ll get to round 2 for a change.
