Gotta love SENs fans 😂. Let’s check back after another missed playoffs - Kleenex gonna be in short supply in the capital come April

Gotta love leafs fans


Gotta love leafs fans , always so excited in March but disappointed in April

You’ve missed the playoffs seven straight years, soon to be 8… and you’re pumping your team like they are the 70’s Habs or 80’s Oilers. You’re my hero 😂

It’s 6 years actually moron . And they started a rebuild in 2018 and tore it down . So you’re a fool

Hang that banner 😂 - only 6 years (not 7) since playoffs. And the rebuild continues howie meeker. Maybe you make the playoffs in time for the new arena

1967

Stutzle plays a very different game from Draisaitl though, I'm not seeing the link.

I’ll try to make it down for another Leafs home game in the Kanata barn this year 😂. 2nd (or 3rd, Habs?) most popular team in your home arena but keep chirping 🤫

Norris/McCann seems right. I don’t think Brady really has a comparable although I guess his brother would have to be the closest lol Stutzle reminds me a bit of J. Hughes in the way they play rather than Drai. Sanderson/Slavin comparable is okay but I think Sanderson will offer more offensively while Slavin would be the superior defensive player. Both excellent transition players that don’t take many penalties. Batherson to me is more of a Toffoli than Bratt, Bratt plays a quicker game than Batherson. Toffoli is the better goal scorer though. That’s a tough one. Greig reminds me of Marchand although I don’t think he’ll get to the highs Marchand has, could be just a lesser version of him, or something like a Gallagher. Basically a pest with enough skill to be useful lol Pinto to me is hard because he’s a good two way guy, just not really sure how high his offensive/defensive game can go. Will he be more a Danault or a Nelson? Could be more like Coyle as well.

Sanderson would need to be as good defensively as he is offensive and as mediocre offensively as he is defensively to be a Slavin comparable... he's almost the Anti-Slavin. I thought Chicago Nick Leddy is a much more reasonable comparison. Not what he is now in St Louis, but what he was when he was... good.

It’s not even my team, dude. Just can’t resist the low-hanging fruit

"Pumping your team"

Did you read the post? Its a question of potential. If they hit. Not a prescription of likelihood of hitting.

Gimme a break 😂. If I post “ if the Leafs all hit their potential, back to back cups potential” …like you & every other leaf hater wouldn’t call me out 😂. Every bad team with years of high picks could post the same drivel but when you’ve missed the playoffs six (soon to be 7) straight years, might want to lay off the ‘how good could we be’ posts 🙄

while i'll agree I think you are saying if they absolutely hit on their development. But you've also just compared three players to arguably the best winger in the league, a undeniable top 5 centre in the league, and one of the top 3-5 defensive defenseman in the league.

While brady timmy and sanderson could get there, it's not very easy to be a top 5 player in your league. And there is also a big step from being a 60 point player like batherson up to a 70 point player like Bratt.

Bratt was 47th in points for forwards last year and batherson was 79th. Theres still a big difference there

Dude... OP is a Devils/Rangers fan


You can't figure simple things out and you also can't count?

Damn, don't quit school

Some of my projections/evaluations :

Josh Norris --> Ryan Kesler (prime Kesler)
Drake Batherson --> Bobby Ryan (younger and healthier version)
Shane Pinto --> David Backes (less physical, more like a Phillip Danault level player)
Ridly Greig --> Jaden Schwartz
Erik Brannstrom --> Tobias Enstrom


What? Sanderson will be a beast defensively, much more than offensively.


Batherson before stupid Aaron Dell was over PPG and having a major breakout season. He had a down year last season but let's see if he can bounce back

I’ll re post earlier statement; keep on fighting the good fight and maybe read entire thread (do it in shifts if needed 😉) before spouting off:

“Hang that banner 😂 - only 6 years (not 7) since playoffs. And the rebuild continues howie meeker. Maybe you make the playoffs in time for the new arena”

He actually isn't, OP is an alt account of a VERY prominent Sens user of CapFriendly.
The account 'AlTintin1122' is basically an in-joke that went a little far.

And what a great "statement" that was.


I see, well can't be aware of everything! I'm here for the hockey discussions so not very attentive to the rest
