Meh, I think they're just outmatched at this point. There is much work to be done. One draft is not going to fix this team, that's for sure. The Leafs are going to need two or three consecutive high first round draft picks to turn this thing around, not to mention some good trades and responsible free agent acquisitions. It's easy to tear a team down. Let's see if they can actually build it up into a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordsOfWisdom Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Mar.9: TOR vs NYI Kadri Gardiner, Sparks Gardiner, Carrick Final score: 4-3 (SO) TOR. See? I knew we'd start winning games without Hunwick in the lineup! Dang it! 1: Give-away pass by Kadri that Carrick had no chance of receiving. 2: Gardiner is way too deep and offers up no defence here, but Sparks needs to have this one too. 3: Islanders player get behind the defence (Gardiner and Carrick) and is off to a breakaway. Soshnikov looks impressive so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPuk Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 We got bullied last night - and by a lousy team. Right now we are too small, and simply not tough enough. This team has no balls. Oh, and did I mention that we also have no character? We are the laughing stock of the NHL (again). I have no issues with a re-build, but it can be done without losing every game you play. IMHO, Babcock needs to get the whip out after that joke last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're at the point in the season where I'm only watching the highlights/lowlights after the game. The season is lost. I don't sit through and watch the whole game any more, so I can't say whether they were pushed around physically or not. The Leafs have been horrendous since the New Year. The wheels really fell off. Eyes on the prize: #1 draft pick. Just think of the turnover that this roster will experience over the summer. Lots of new faces coming in for next fall.

BluPuk Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I see what you're saying @WordsOfWisdom, but even with the Leafs finishing 30th, there is an 80% chance that they will not get pick #1. The freakin Habs could get the first pick. Or New Jersey, or Ottawa or any of the bottom 14 teams. It simply isn't worth the 'effort'. I think they should trade this years' first rounder to Zona for their next two or three first round picks. Zona would dearly love to have Matthews because he's a local kid. Or I would make such a deal with anyone else who will give us the same return. It's not like this upcoming draft contains a franchise player. I don't particularly want Matthews or Laine or whoever - I want a local boy too. Jacob Chychrun would be my choice - and I still get more first rounders down the road. I am convinced there is no way in hell we're going to get the no. 1 pick anyway. Leafs luck..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think trading down to get more picks while still grabbing Chycrun would be a good trade for the Leafs.

Think of how many local Toronto kids never get to play for the Leafs. I feel no sympathy for fans in Arizona. I hope the Leafs draft some defencemen.

BluPuk Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 LOL, we didn't have any puck luck at all - except bad puck luck. That game was winnable but I guess it's going to be hard to get the vets going when they know they're just playing out the season. The kids will made an effort because this is like an extended try-out for them with real points and stats at stake. As far as Bernier goes - how can an NHL goalie lose sight of the puck on that play? What the hell was he looking at? Where was he looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPuk Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Ha ha, I saw that. What it made me think was: "who came up with that stat?" Certainly NOT a Leafs fan. I think if you add up all the Leafs' ages, they are also younger than him. Not much doubt they are getting desperate for material on these Leafs broadcasts. Luckily I'm not allowed any input...
