i'm not suggesting we trade Kessel. I'm sure Shanny has plans. Sounds like Kadri will also be tested the rest of the season to see where he stands.

Just looked at the standings. 7 point spread between 8 and 9. 10 between 8 and 11, where we are.

We've lost 6 in a row. Fuck me sideways.

Might as well trade Kessel, not like he's helping anyways.

Year.. 13? of the 5 year rebuild, baby.

there's something wrong with that team. The core? maybe....the depth players? maybe....the coach(s)? maybe..?

i think the only real long term piece is Shanny. That guy will turn this ship around.

why...because he was a good player?

Sober now

Man the leafs did nothing but fuckin bicker when things don't pan out after 3 yrs into any sort of fuckin plan they set to do the last 15 yrs. I feel fuckin embarrassed year after year looking back how ever long ago getting excited with things like CARLYLE KESSEL KADRI MATURATION PHANEUF EXTENTION BEING "JUST RIGHT" AND ABOUT HOW WE ARE GONNA DO PERFECT WITH OUR CORE etc... I mean come on are we/front office that short sighted? It's like a bunch of kids getting sick of playing with their new toys 3 min in. Giving their core a run for its money and now that we don't win all of a sudden 3 yrs in this core is garbage? After all those confident shit talks

Media isn't exempt from this. How many jokers on snet/tsn raving when we signed aforementioned assets my GOD I wanna punch kipper and maclean and mackenzies (him not as much but still) faces do u guys even have any responsibilities for the kinda shit u say God this is why I predicted the leafs to finish 9/10th in conference every yr

My goddamn Facebook feed is giving me these random fuckin fake ass leafs sites the last 3 weeks saying nothing else about than leafs getting dealt I dont even care anymore lollll go buy a new core and make the same excuse every other yr when we have a losing record thxx

Honestly, the media is the worst in all of this. Shitpost headlines flame/click baiting every single fucking day.

That is why we will never rebuild properly.

id have to agree. I think the media does more damage to that roster than anything. I'm sure half (if not more) of what they say about the leafs is complete BS

Seriously, everything they do is put under a microscope.

Oh, Phil Kessel at a cookie today, what a fat ass.

I don't see why he would want to play here.

I will admit again, that honestly as of maybe last yr, the only thing of toronto sports media I've enjoyed thoroughly is the damn tim and sid segment on snet590 AM radio during lunch... because these guys make fun of the shit that Leafs struggle with otherwise I wouldn't even listen to it

this gigantic toronto media everyone fears so much... they're not even bullies... they are just hand holding overprotective form of a parent media that just DOESN'T FUCKIN LET UP when it comes to their "child's" lack of success and this TML club has become a mentally retarded child of a club

this is why I dont like jewish parenting

I'm gonna add

This damn media wrath cycle never allows players make mistakes on a constant basis throughout the 82 game season. They take "not pointing out players mistakes" will eventually result in "spoiling" our players so ya my point above still comes into play vigorously. Then some of the retard "fans" start hopping on the media bandwagon with them (can't blame em sometimes the media persuades them so well) by saying shit like YA! they make 8 million dollars a year! they shud work harder!!

.....

just watching the isles/rangers game courtesy of MSG network last night on snet.... I havent watched the american game under american broadcast network in a while but man are they fuckin chills.... even the anchor lady (forgot her name) speaks with volume and pride of their Isles - waving hands around pumping fists during her segment on live TV... they have such fun with it. Do you think they give a fuck if leddy made a mistake and the next day fuckin press is all up in his face about it? NO MAN americans could fuckin care less! pro athelete, mistakes are made, move on and improve!!!do they not realize that most of these kids are 20 somethings who aren't used to being told theyre bad?? u CANNOT pressure players like this every 15 games thru the media for millions of torontonians to SEE and JUDGE them all year long!! open ur eyes TORONTO MEDIA. No other cities do shit like this GIVE UR PLAYERS room to BREATHE and IMPROVE without #PRESSURE

That god damn jewish parenting, eh Paul.

I'm serious

I am not anti-semetic, but I spend a lot of f-ing time with Jewish people when I have to work in Bathurst st clinic. I have learned a lot about their traditional/modern mixed culture in society and their general behaviour.

They are special kind of people... tradition for the wrong reasons (these are my opinion), indulge when nobody is looking
This is what exactly the Leafs "culture" is like

We never like seeing anyone do off-colour shit and can't bear to watch them have fun. and then goes ahead scolds their children (players) for all the wrongs theyre doing but in the end they are so fuckin rich in funds they fuck up their children and their plans for them even more.

ya im fuckin done man, this shit got me real mad up until last nite and now im convinced i no longer need to dignify myself with any more responses or explanations on why oh why is it that the leafs are doing sooooo bad??! It's just not even a fun game to figure out anymore... just not even funny... all the smart people know the reason already

traditions, just for the sake of continuing them, is utter madness.

People need to grow, learn, and FORGET THE PAST, as time goes on.....

what about u dave1959, u still a Sens fan?
how are their media like? I dont watch enough Snet-E to know
Sens in general have disappeared off the face of the earth lately (as discussed btwn me and eric yesterday)
So I assume the media hasn't been out too active lately either
i just remember Patricia Boal being somewhat of a tease of a lady when I watched her as a pre-teen boy
Sorta hot? when looking at her from one angle?
But then that crooked lip...oh god

Yep....still a Sens Fan...and the media is there full force 24/7.

Sens Army is just as strong as ever too....

I don't blame Kessel if he asked for a trade. The Toronto Media is insane.

....It must be hard not to tell them all to Fuck Off sometimes....or smack them in 'da face!

Toronto media treats Phil like crap, i actually feel for Phil and would have requested a trade long ago if i were him.

They also make all of this crap out to be Phils fault, in reality they are the jokes. (the media)

It takes a certain type of attitude to play in the Toronto market and have success. As for the Sens, nobody cares about them and it's true. Ottawa cares more about the leafs and Habs than those guys. I doubt there is much media coverage on them as I've barely seen it on Sportsnet.

Not really Dave I mean I go to Sens games and no one really cares. its pretty quiet and not much cheering. Like compared to Chicago (I was at the philly vs hawks in October) the fans were so fun. A buzz the whole time in the arena. lots of cheering and a positive atmosphere. Things I don't feel at Sens games.

In Dallas too (I was at leafs vs stars in dec) The fans are kinda dumb about hockey but they get really into it.

Ottawa fans are so Ottawa....no opinion, just be nice, don't offend anyone.
