How would adding a true top pairing RHD make Toronto's big four learn how to play playoff hockey?
I literally over explained it as far as i could to avoid jokes like this.
I dont care Which Canadian team wins , one of us gotta or Bettman era is him beating Canadian Teams into the Ground with us not Resisting Once.
So if its my rival TML or OTT that do it, well it sucks cause their fans will being annoying
But an Annoying Canadian Fan is better then the American on that comes at you with them winning Every Cup since Bettmans 1st full Season in Charge.
Im so beyond tired of that lol
So if pointing out that the last serious run TML was ever on was when they had a RHD who got tired of their **** helps their fans get mad about it, Great.
Why? TML doesnt Prioritize Defensive play especially when it comes to stick positioning and covering lanes.
All any team has to do is Bully their way down the Right Side and they force TML to compensate often exposing the point in doing so.
There's a reason there's a Premium on RHD especially True #1 RD (Not just top pairing Top Player)
Its also why even at his age LAK refuses to even think about moving Doughty or doing anything but having him Retire there.
Or why Burns was still sought after at his Age or Karlsson at his age or Weber when he played for that matter.
TML has a great team
Thats literally their biggest and only real hole i'd say disqualifies them from being able to be a True Playoff team
