2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

[cw]

What's Hakanpaa up to?

Training with Kärppien still hoping to play in the NHL this season.
He says he's close but has not told his agent to go for it yet

Oh, this setback seems to be a big deal.

This is snarky, but it would be a bigger deal if he had been playing better.

It could have been the reason he wasn’t playing well to begin with.

I think we're starting to see what Treliving & Co. were hoping for this offseason with a revamped 3rd line. Whether it is Joshua - Roy - McMann or Knies - Roy - Cowan we're seeing a line that can make a difference.

Seriously the complete mystery game with injuries is starting to piss me off with this franchise. I'm not saying we should be getting intimate medical details about every injury but the secrecy around everything is kind of absurd.
Heading for a surgery...like 4-6 weeks...3 months....rest of the year. Where the hell is Keith Pelley with his "we need to engage with the fanbase better".

I don't need to know the specific injury, but they should give fans the recovery timeline.

It annoys me in that they think they aren't accountable to the fans - the fans that pay their salaries - the fans that without them, their jobs would not exist. It's ridiculous. And how is it better for people to not just get angry but also endlessly and needlessly speculate?

With gambling allowed now, shouldn't they have a legal obligation to disclose injury status? Teams that don't disclose injuries should be subject to fines.

Going back to last spring. But point taken, maybe he was hurt when Tre acquired him.

Oh this is why the Leafs are playing better?

Sometimes, you just have to do literally everything yourself.

He already calls all the OZ faceoff plays he's involved in.

I hope this little turn around is for real. I hope the team has woken up from whatever it is they were sleeping through. Obviously I’d rather watch a winning season than a losing one.

The only thing that scares me is Treliving making moves to bolster the team for the playoffs. I don’t want him touching the roster anymore. I still want him gone.
