A different take on the #Leafs: It’s really the weak supporting cast of this era that is the reason behind Leafs playoff failures. This generation never had Zezel, Yushkevich, Roberts, Domi, Tucker - guys who truly supported the stars by going through the roof every shift. 1/15
Not an expert on baseball but isn’t Vladdy doing just fine? He’a getting on base, driving in runs, playing sound defense… So what if he isn’t hitting homers every night? The goal is to win games, right? He’s definitely helping in that department. #bluejays
His name is David Popkins. He is the reason #BlueJays are the best team in baseball.
This guy saved my well being #BlueJays
I’m thinking performance against playoff teams during the season may be a good indicator of playoff performance for players. Just in case some nerds are interested in looking this up. Traditional stats only please, no expected (imaginary) goals etc. #hockeyanalytics
They are all best friends. They’re just pretending to be different to get you to vote for them so they can continue to serve their buddies the billionaires. Scum of the earth. Genocidal maniacs.
Ford says PM Carney stayed at his cottage last night after dinner with the premiers. “We had dinner. We were up till 12:30 at night, chatting in front of the fireplace, solving all the world's problems,” Ford said, calling Carney “the most humble person you'd ever want to meet.”
Remember how Lou and Babs had them on the straight and narrow? Remember how you all got all excited about Dubas the genius? It’s never too late to say ‘I was wrong’ and get back to hard work and discipline. #LeafsForever
they cut their hair committed looked like pros now playing like pros let’s see if Tree does the same shit for the Leafs
Here’s why you all can stuff all your talk about trading Domi right up where the sun don’t shine. Chief and Tre will never trade a guy like that!
Throwback to when Max Domi went on a crazy 25-second run, destroying anything in his way — with his dad Tie in attendance. 😅😤 #leafsforever
Some people have built their careers on ‘Dubas brain’ - it is a veritable industry mainly cantered around ‘the Athletic’ and some ‘analytics sites’ and it’s hard to let go. The more Dubas fails, the more this phenomenon will disappear and these people be put out of work.
Kyle Dubas has done irreparable damage to this fanbase. The worst part is that most people don’t even realize that they have Dubas brain.
The Leafs have quickly gone from 8 years of a country club culture, to what looks like more of a coal mine. They have subtracted spa day and added scar tissue.

😤 Throwback to when Dakota Joshua laid out Ryan Reaves and dropped the mitts in just his second-ever NHL game. Now a Bud. 💪💙 #leafsforever
So I guess we have two ‘fighters’ now in Joshua and Pezzetta who can’t fight and no one to teach them how to fight with Reaves and Clune gone from the organization. I love that they’re willing to drop the gloves but who’s gonna teach these kids how to fight? Hire @Jay_D_Rosehill?
I dreamt for two nights in a row that #Leafs won the Cup. The first time I scored the winning goal. I know - it’s just a dream. But I’ve been a fan for a long time and I never had those dreams before. I wonder if this is the year and if Dakota Joshua will score the winning goal.
It’s ironic that now that the cap can handle the top 4 we don’t have the top 4 anymore. Looking on the bright side, if we get us a true no. 1 D or Knies takes the next step and McDavid comes home next summer we’ll have a top 4 again!
Everyone said for a decade “the leafs can’t win with the core 4” and now it’s “the leafs can’t win without the core 4”
Welcome Henry Thrun! I really like how #Leafs are loading up with young large D. Berube’s system is pretty straight forward: D are expected to defend and be physical. Youth, size and willingness to follow instructions instead of running around like an idiot (44) goes a long way.
McCabe - Tanev OEL - Hamilton Benoit - Carlo would be the best D in the league. Please make it happen Tre. I know you want to and can. #leafsforever #byebyeRielly
I know #BlueJays are, like, the best team in baseball right now but I just can’t with Schneider’s analytics-based decisions to sit our hottest batters because of handedness. So annoying.
Fix the mistake #Leafs. Bring back Dakota Joshua. He’s signed through 2028 for 3.25 per year, low cap hit easily buried, all upside. He’s a big centre and hits everything that moves. Give him some talented line mates and he can score too! He had a down year - it’s time to pounce!
when you hear ian tulloch say that morgan rielly should be traded after next season:
“I really love Travis Dermott. He is such a smart and skilled player. I feel that at some point in time, if you were able to ice six fully-developed Travis Dermotts, that could be a Stanley Cup-calibre defense.” - Gus Katsaros (2018)
