Kyle "#1 motherfucking center" Turris

 

[Quikies83]

You bet. The NFL free agent frenzy has been insane.

Agreed. I'm excited about Maclin. Good kid.

 

[ShaneB]

Agreed. I'm excited about Maclin. Good kid.

Me too. Expensive get, but a major need.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I don't know why Leafs fans are so eager to watch Toronto ruin McDavid anyway.

Flame on

Many bubble screens and short slants in his future, unfortunately.

 

[zroid]

please please please keep Kadri scratched for another two games

I need him out of the lineup against the Oilers

 

[E-DuB]

He wouldn't be "ruined" in Toronto. But if by some alignment of the planets he does end up here, he's more likely to blow his ACL on his first shift.

 

[Cake Boss]

[Lone_Prodigy]

Great, now the Leafs will be extra motivated tomorrow.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Toronto would continue to lose even with him on board and the media would be up his ass with blame every step of the way.

Our last first overall was wendel clark in the middle of the worst ownership in NHL history

Some would say things went pretty well with him

Though he was a defenseman when we drafted him... we played him at forward... probably ballards idea that backfired

Different time, mostly different fans/media.

The perception that Toronto "ruins" its draft picks is odd... they don't ruin them, they trade them

Toronto isn't Edmonton

Many Leafs draftees have gone on to have very successful careers on other teams

 

[megachao24]

Toronto at least has a structure in place, if a rather damn flimsy one. Edmonton is just a dumpster fire from top to bottom, ownership included.

Which is kind of my point. If he stays in Toronto he's fucked.

Besides, Edmonton has yet to open the floodgates. Who knows what happens with any of those kids if they're ever released from hell.

It's an upgrade! That's all that matters right now

And this game is looking bleak. Clearly signs are showing that Holtby is exhausted from so many starts.

Well... leafs did come close to ruining kadri and tlusty

Leafs also prioritize some really shitty players over talented ones for some stupid reason

At least with mcdavid, he'd never see the minors... i'd be more worried about any draft pick from 5-10 tho

 

[Calamari41]

Why is Minnesota playing so hard?

Not hard enough!

So far, at least...

I get what you mean, but there isn't really much evidence that players' development has been compromised in Toronto. The organization has historically just been really bad at identifying talent in the first place.

Yes... yes they do. Or at least did... I believe in Mark Hunter!

Fair enough but when I said Toronto I wasn't just talking about the Leafs organization.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Missed the first, but it looks like according to plan.

Cowen is absolutely turrible.

 

[Silexx]

Oh are we now stanning for each center? I call dibs on Pageau. Kernel and GSG Flash can fight it out for Legwand.

 

[DopeyFish]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

 

[Terrordactyl]

Wonder when these refs are gonna start giving the leafs some more calls, this is getting out of hand.

 

[zroid]

alright... this loss is in the bag I think. grats Terrordactyl and co. you've got a real hard working team here.

thanks for the 0 points!

Yeah I'm watching Cricket World Cup highlights now :lol

 

[DopeyFish]

go away booth

seriously... he scores 1 goal in his first 41 games

now he's got 4 in the last 5

 

[Razorskin]

David Booth 4 goals in 5 games.

 

[Montresor]

I don't know why Leafs fans are so eager to watch Toronto ruin McDavid anyway.

The Leafs' problem is a horrible core, but I don't see how we have ruined draft picks recently, as others have said.

Even if we do have a history of ruining draft picks, what's the alternative to "being eager to watch Toronto ruin McDavid". Should we instead hope for Strome? Marner? Hanifin? We should secretly cheer for our team to ruin a less significant prospect instead, for the good of the league? Bugger the rest of the league.

I don't think we are going to get McDavid but the Leafs have a new management group in place with Mark Hunter, Kyle Dubas, and Brendan Shanahan. They haven't proven anything yet but they don't have a history of ruining prospects - they're a fresh group and should be given a chance.

 

[zroid]

lol Booth... If he had produced this way in the games leading up to the deadline we probably could've had a 4th rounder or so. maybe a 3rd.

 

[Terrordactyl]

Schlemko! Wow this fucking game lol

 

[Silexx]

Lol gotta get a gif of that sleeping Isles fan.
