Ah yes, Perimeter Willie, who scores most of his goals from the slot, below the faceoff dots.my prediction... they unload floater bill nylander with another player. we shall see.
yeah you keep putting up those stats biff, this guy is as soft as shite.Ah yes, Perimeter Willie, who scores most of his goals from the slot, below the faceoff dots.
That's some floater, that Nylander fellow.
The Leafs have the highest cap hits for any four forwards on any team :Ah yes, Perimeter Willie, who scores most of his goals from the slot, below the faceoff dots.

You're not wrong on this. Too often they don't finish their checks, preferring just to attempt a stick check instead, and when they get beat most go for a long skate in a wide circle rather than stop and get back on the check. Hyman is about the only one with any consistent, intense tenacity on the forecheck and backcheck. The Leafs could use two more like him - what a difference that would make. The worst part is that they have some bodies who could absolutely do it just like Hyman, but refuse.They are consistently late to the puck. They are easily beaten on the forecheck.
Ah yes, bullsitt, jeff oneil, when a Maple Leaf, exhibited zero evidence of leadership, grit, passion.just watched overdrive, jeff oneil ripped this team a new asshole. he hit the nail right on the head, overpriced bunch of floaters, and he is a former leaf. i loved it. some on this thread should take heed.
Not one of those 4 numbers is correct.The Leafs have the highest cap hits for any four forwards on any team :
Matthews 15.88
Tavares 15.02
Marner. 14.87
Nylander. 9.50
That’s in excess of 54 millions for just 4 forwards. Do you really think they can keep all four moving forward and build a cup contender ? If one of these 4 has to be traded for help on defence, who would be the likely candidate?
Please remind us how long since Montreal won?In the 52 years since the Leafs last won the Cup, the Montreal Canadiens have won the Cup 10 times including the last time a Canadian based team won the Cup during Bettman's tenure.
Been almost 30 years now, off the top of my head.Please remind us how long since Montreal won?
As you may not be aware, currencies do fluctuate so my figures in Canadian may be off by a few thousands. Anyway, that’s still 40 million US for 4 players.Not one of those 4 numbers is correct.
Cap hits (U.S. $$)
Matthews $11.634Mm
Tavares $11.00Mm
Marner $10.893Mm
Nylander $6.962Mm
Why show in U.S. $$ ?
Because all NHL contracts are negotiated (and paid) in U.S. funds.
Those aren't even accurate if in Canadian funds.
When the Leafs were at the 30 year mark it was '97 and Leafs jokes and mocking were already commonplace. That's where Montreal is currently.Been almost 30 years now, off the top of my head.
And it's not like they have been close ever since.
They were better than mediocre. They finished with 102 points that year. What helped them was that they had favourable playoff match ups and they won 8 overtime games.When the Leafs were at the 30 year mark it was '97 and Leafs jokes and mocking were already commonplace. That's where Montreal is currently.
BTW, that last Mont cup was only because of possibly the greatest playoff performance ever by a goalie with an extremely mediocre team.
Exactly the way I remember it.They were better than mediocre. They finished with 102 points that year. What helped them was that they had favourable playoff match ups and they won 8 overtime games.
In short they were a good team team but not great which rode a hot goalie and were unbelievably lucky. The stars just aligned at the right time.
Many of the games went into overtime and they won almost all of them if I remember correctly. That year many of the top seeds were eliminated. When it got to the semi's all 4 teams were lower rung. And we all remember Fraser and Gretzky's high stick on Gilmour. Leafs beat Det in 7 games in round 1 and beat St Louis in 7 games in round 2 before losing to LA in 7 games.When the Leafs were at the 30 year mark it was '97 and Leafs jokes and mocking were already commonplace. That's where Montreal is currently.
