Game 63: Panthers @ Maple Leafs 7:00PM - The turnaround game.

[Kaberle15]

Well... You can tell the teams still really worried about next seasons deadline.

LMAO

 

[maplesyrup]

Why do we (the fans) do this to ourselves? We all need help. Dr. Phil?

Awesome. Can deadline jokes be a thing?

 

[Courtnall]

Thank god were past the trade deadline. That pressure of hearing their names in trade rumors really was hard on them. Can already see a much improved team.
So how's it going to feel being a leafs fan when we're the only team out of 30 that has not made the playoffs post lockout?

 

[Boston Leaf]

Is there any hope that this *could* be RW's last game? I'm saying
this in seriousness. Now that no trades can happen, we have only
a mass call-up or a coaching change to right this ship.

While I would be soooooo happy it won't happen. Burke will not embarass his pal during season.. He doesnt blame him for anything at least publically

I'm avoiding reading this thread, but how many 'trade deadline' jokes does this make?

I expect some originality.

 

[gunnar36]

how many pucks get past Reimer clean without him even moving on it?  How exactly do the Leafs evaluate their goaltenders skill sets?
To me, he is the next Justin Pogge of the organization...he will likely be playing in the ECHL in 2 years.

Man does Wilson looked dejected on that bench. Theres no doubt in my mind that his time has expired in Toronto. I think Burke realizes it too. That's probably why he's getting so nasty when anyone asks him about it.

I think this may be the issue. BB will not "allow" any so-called pressure from media or fans to can Wilson so just to be a jerk, he won't.

 

[13th fan]

We can't even kick in a goal right , that's how bad things are going now , lol

Considering it wasn't funny 6 pages ago, hopefully not many left.

I almost posted something that might have gotten me banned from here. Aint gonna happen Lama. Plain and simple. Like I posted the other day I think it's time to add Burke to the fire Wilson thread strictly for this reason.

Well the first 15 were!

It's the first joke about next year's deadline.

But, you know, keep grumbling.

Good to see Schenn not shy away from the interview and take responsibility. He might suck lately but he has good leadership qualities.

Doubt it.

I will say I respect him for the interview. Unfortunately he is paid millions to play competent defence not interviews. Given his contract we can only hope he figures it out.

 

[Courtnall]

Not sure who it was, but there was one player at the red line and another at their blue line on the first goal against.

He's been one of the only ones answering every question for most of the last 2-3 weeks. I think the Captain only came out after the last lost that I remember.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

I'm 38 and have always doubted the Leafs would win the Cup before I die.  I'm beginning to wonder if I will witness another playoff game.

Don't feel so bad Bermuda. I got 10 years on ya and been a Leaf fan since I was 5.

It's painful, and despite some more prospects, I see little hope in the short to medium future.  The team does the "right" thing and goes and gets a name GM with a pedigree and nothing works.  There is a coach who in any other sensible organization would have been fired some time ago, but despite his poor record, he's still here.  I wonder whether some / many of these players will ever recover to reach their abilities with what has gone on in the past few years.

It's really bad.

 

[azzurri63]

Hey you guys it aint that bad. Go to yahoo sports nhl scores and they have it a 1-0 Florida lead after 1 period. Not so bad.
