2021-22 Maple Leafs Thread

As a non leaf fan but appreciator of talent, I believe this team is set.
Why mess with a winning combination.
There's not too may teams with the potential fire power that they have.
They're just an exciting team to watch. Hopefully there will a full house to see their drive for the holly grail in the near future.

I'd tend to agree. Unless there looks like there could be a solid, well-seasoned d-man who's a pending UFA that could be had cheap as a playoff rental for insurance purposes (e.g. Marc Staal DET) I don't see the Leafs making any crazy moves at this point. A) they don't have much cash to spend under the cap B) doubt they want to give up draft picks now knowing where the team is heading in future years
To think how the Oilers would've been better off had they just spent money signing our goalie instead of our winger.
Great win for the Leafs last night against a real contender. PIT came out flat and the Leafs came out flying and never really let up the whole game. PIT never got on track and turned the puck over so many times it became a real joke. Reilly and Mikheyev really had strong games, as did Campbell. Willy was invisible in this one (looked like he might be nursing an injury of some sort?), as was most of the PIT team aside from Carter and Jarry who kept the game from becoming a Toronto blowout. Bunting also had a very strong game. Wondering how many teeth AM lost when he unhinged the net with his face? Maybe Marner's dentist can help him out a tad...he's been busy this season.

He is key. From what I've seen so far, I don't have a ton of confidence in Mrazek.
Leafs have dropped three in a row. Next three opportunities to turn the ship are MIN, DET and WASH.
BTW - When will guys like Nylander, Tavares, and Kerfoot start to get hot?
Right now, Nylander has 6 goals over the last 20 games, and Tavares 4 goals over the same period. Kerfoot has 3. By contrast, the rookie Bunting has 10G in the last 20 games.

After the win in Detroit exposed some glaring inadequacies, can the Leafs really afford not to be very active players at the trade deadline? Without a serious upgrade in goal and on D, this team is clearly not going to be able to beat either FLA or TB in the first round of the playoffs. Is Fleury to TOR perhaps the answer?
Right on schedule. Just like the Dallas Cowboys. Out first round of the playoffs. It's crazy how many leafs fans love disappointment.
I would love to see a local sportscaster blow up the Leafs nation like Steven A Smith destroys the Cowboy fans. What can go wrong will go wrong..

As if any fan loves disappointment. I'd say they probably would've done better last year if Tavares wasn't knocked out in the first round. Plus, Matthews wrist was so bad he couldn't even shoot the puck and had to have surgery after resting it for the entire summer.
They're currently 4 points out of 1st. place in the Eastern Conference. Playoffs are always an entirely different animal and anything can happen, but they've got a good squad. I would still like to see a right handed, stay at home D added into the mix.
