I also have a hard time. I am simply saying that if you’re going to place hope somewhere it is with a Leafs club not playing very well for about 35 games.
With all our current injuries,constant line juggling of who,s left add to that slow,cement D,missing two real centers,price back to flippy floppy shakey hockey..forget about it.ssn cooked.
What they do to ride out the ssn really doesnt matter at this point.as soon as the habs press that sell button,even the casual unknowing fan will see the reality that its tankmode.and good.sitout any injured players til ssns end,play waiver guys doesnt matter now.we need the big L,s . The one pointers were scratching out now are just keeping blind faith walking on eggshells for now.
Trade 31 and plek for RNH,klefbom and a top draft pick.building around a middle aged injury prone overpaid goalie is thee stupidest idea.
By the way this ssns habs are a mess,an imbarrassment,a joke.duhh i cant find a center,so i guess well just put wingers at center.chucky you try it,epic failure!! Ok drouin you try center,epic failure. Careys getting lit up like a dollar store xmas tree because bergy fd up the markov resigning,got grampa simpson alzner in a panic situation. ENOUGH allready for #^#} sakes this is the montreal canadiens,not the arizona yottees. Bergy is a fn joke joke joke gm.
Oh and how do we land a 1c and a 2c and a 1d? Easy.over fricken pay them.well im not going to french quebec,fishbowl,crazy media attention etc…oh wait theyll pay me 2 mill over anyone else to make up for the diff in taxes..where do i sign. Thats how you land them mark. How do you pay that you ask? Easy. By NOT over paying a 30 yrold goalie who everyone says in the best but has never even been to the finals in TEN years!! Play lingren.use the 9 mill savings to pay a top c and d.
I have a hard time seeing them making up the 11 points on Toronto. it would make life in Ontario so much fun if they could do it though!
