Freddie had 1 good game in the last 10...really on a big roll! Lmao

7 playoffs, 3 cups and 5 conference finals in the last 10 years. Leafs; 3 First round exits...hysterical as if any hawks fan is jealous of the Leafs heading for another first round exit if they make it.

What are you talking about as I think the Leafs have now turned the corner after bottoming out and figured out how to play team defence tonight in 4-0 victory over the Penguins.

Yup. You are 100% correct. From Tuesday to Thursday, they without a doubt turned a corner and all of a sudden figured out how to play defense.

I find it hilarious leaf fans try and talk trash on the blackhawks and penguins. 2 of the most successful franchises the past decade +. Meanwhile, the leafs have been known for missing playoffs and getting bounced in the 1st round by boston. Nothing else

I don't think Random needs any backup from me (he would make me look silly in two seconds) but as far your "look at the teams they beat during that stretch" comment, any team (including the Pens, yes big shocker..I know) can only beat the team they are facing.

I never understood that kind of comment...like what? So their suppose to lose intentionally instead?

Ugh.

Theres a big difference between going on a win streak against playoff teams and contenders and a win streak thats mainly non playoff teams. A lot of leaf fans run their mouth after they beat up on non playoff teams, and then they suddenly go quiet once their team gets beat up on by contenders. Just look at the title for this GM "Everythings cool were contenders again". Some fans actually believe that because of their win against the penguins, but will forget they just got crushed by the same penguins team and buffalo. Just look at who they beat this month and who they lost to. Every team has easy parts of their schedule, but you dont see majority of fans from TB, WSH, PIT, STL, etc start planning a parade when they beat those teams

The Leafs had to hit rock bottom with the previous losses to Buffalo and Pittsburg to finally buying in and committing to play a team defence game to be successful in the NHL. I kind of disagree with your comment in that I think it has taken them the entire season to figure out this concept. Shutting out a team like the Penguins with Crosby and Malkin is the type of game that can really transform the fortunes of a young team like the Leafs.

So since they turned the corner in an incredible 2 day span, im expecting no more 5+ goals against anymore and blowout loses, right?

But you can only beat the team you are facing any given night.

Shows the lack of intelligence when someone doesn't understand something this basic.

The difference is that the Leafs are a younger and up and comming team with some really talented younger players and the team is transforming into a powerhouse team like Tampa, Washington, Pittsburg and St. Louis right before your eyes and you do not even realize what is happening. This transformation is also very exciting for Leafs fans which have been waiting for years for a winner and you bet that the fans are getting excited and starting to plan the Stanley Cup parade in Toronto because it will be 4 times bigger than the Raptors Championship parade.

Shows the lack of your intelligence when I explained the difference and you still didnt comprehend it

Yes, you heard it from me first. Sometimes a team has to hit rock bottom to figure out how to play winning hockey in the NHL. This is no different that the Blues last year who were in last place in January and figured out their game and won a Stanley Cup.

Works with me. So if they get blown out again or give up 5+ goals, ill make sure I come back to hear the excuse

Still living in the past.. that's really getting you far this season eh? LOL

I wonder if either of you would've been fans of your teams in 2003.

I fortunately you don’t have a past or present to hang your hat on LOL Keep trolling kid

"I fortunately"... nice grammar bud

& where has living in the past got you? what is it now, 8 points out? Your past gets you no where now. Keep living there though. You old folks never take change well LOL

Contenders? I know that was tongue-in-cheek due to the win last night, but the Leafs path to the Cup is going to be pretty difficult: it looks like the only way they can make the playoffs is to get 3rd in the Atlantic, because there are several Metropolitan teams well ahead in the WC race. Which means they'll likely play Boston in the first round, and we all know how that usually goes.

I think to be a "Contender" you have to have very good odds of getting out of the first round, whereas Toronto would be the underdog in that matchup.

You are really trying to chirp grammar? lmao sad. Well I mean thats the only thing you can try and reach for considering his team has been successful and relevant, and yours is known for choking and being bullied by boston

Ah the "has been" group.. at least Toronto makes playoffs. Chicago doesn't 😂

Funny how you aren't talking about pittsburgh? hmmmm yeah thats what I thought. Quiet down

Because you weren't involved in the conversation? .. I was talking to @ChiHawk about Chicago because all he does is non stop troll Leafs fans. It was a little pay back and for whatever reason you decided to step in

Pay back? lmao for what? Leafs have been a laughing stock for years now while the blackhawks have won cups. End of it. Theres nothing you can say

Again, you had literally no reason to step in. LOL
