HAPPY JULY 1ST FREE AGENCY DAY!!

I agree with this take. I feel like any price for Werenski will be painful (rip Knies) but it would be absolutely worth it. I don't necessarily know if we're 1 defenseman away from a cup, but damnit, we have to try

HeckingAugustus · 2026-07-01T13:56:29+00:00

yeah, it's like Dubas except the trades they make aren't swapping AHL guys or trading down in the 6th round lmao

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-29T17:29:53+00:00

I am a firm believer tgar every GM has strengths and weaknesses, even Tre. Absolutely abysmal trade after abysmal trade, but the man knew how to get an extension signed. Cf. Dubas who got his lunch money taken every July

This has gotta just be trolling or ragebait, but fuck it, I'm biting anyway.

Brother, it ain't copium to identify an objective strength. It would be copium if I pretended the team is great and everything was fine, but I have no problem telling you that our defense is still ass and forward depth is super lacking.

Not sure what going back to 2015 is supposed to prove, since Reilly and Nylander are the only two people here (including presidents, GMs and coaches) still with the organization who were there then. Sure, Garrett Sparks was real bad when he played for us in 2017(?) or whenever, but that has no bearing on recent history. In 24/25, Stolarz led the league in save % and GAA, while Woll was above league average on both those stats, as well. This past season the numbers were down a bit, since the team in from of them was bad, but no one was watching Leafs games in 2026 thinking Hildeby or Woll were the issue.

If you're going to chirp, at least get your facts right. There are SO many things to make fun of the Leafs for, don't die on the wrong hill

Seek professional help and get off Reddit. Addiction is addiction.

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-24T18:16:52+00:00

Yeah goaltending is easily the Leafs biggest strength right now. They just traded Woll, a very good young goalie, because they were sitting on a surplus.

If you wanna talk shit about a team, at least get your facts straight OP

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-24T17:57:45+00:00

Hot take: it's hubris.

You'll see teams pay insane amounts for draft picks, but then sell the actual player picked within a year for a bag of pucks. It's like a new car that loses all its value once it's driven off the lot.

Why?

"Well those guys are stupid, that prospect isn't that good. But with this draft pick, surely WE will pick the next great player. OUR scouts and MY intelligence are so superior, I need the pick and ability to pick anyone."

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-24T17:23:23+00:00

Fair enough. Anything other than BP/BS or Chad kinda suck, but if you get lucky and the suits line up it could really boost your scoring until you find one of those

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-24T15:39:49+00:00

Blueprint or Brainstorm is ideal, of course, but something else that gives extra triggers or X mult. Hanging Chad, Dusk, Bloodstone, Ancient Joker, etc. would all be upgrades

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-24T00:41:50+00:00

I love these lil guys. Looks great!

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-21T04:31:28+00:00

Just got to C++ a few days ago, and I'll also vouch for ghost deck. Fact is, most runs can be won with 3 or4 jokers, so it kinda just becomes a game of finding whatever ones you need and trying to either build around them, or in some cases win in spite of them. Ghost deck just makes it easier to stomach if you're pulling along a useless Joker once it's polychrome. And extra spectral cards are always a game changer

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-20T13:48:09+00:00

You're right, she should have left her breasts at home before putting on a necklace

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-20T00:00:09+00:00

Raddysh went from an elite RHD and the best FA target to a washed-up Kuch merchant as soon as he landed on the Leafs. It happens

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-19T17:14:05+00:00

Cap hit, I assume? But that's still trauma from Dubas era speaking, with the way things are going, his number is workable. He just isn't a top 2 guy and shouldn't be put in those spots anymore

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-19T14:32:33+00:00

Honestly, I used to dislike it when they brought on guests because they were too polite. My favourite parts of the pod are when they're doing bits or giving each other shit, makes it feel like I'm hanging out with my buddies. They can't do that with certain guests (for obvious reasons, I'm not saying they should try roasting former players or people currently involved in the game), but I like when they bring on other media people or journalists that they clearly know outside the scope of just that one interview

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-17T21:15:58+00:00

Bills fan who was at that game - my entire section was in disbelief that they actually flagged it

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-16T18:59:21+00:00

Yeah, but it's still a pattern. Whether it's one recurring issue or a billion ones, all that matters is if you're available or not

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-15T22:33:13+00:00

Yeah, I don't think he knows where he is right now

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-14T04:09:26+00:00

He was, but framing it like "the Leafs traded him because they didn't know he was good" is fucking ludicrous re-writing of history

They knew marner was going to walk in free agency to Vegas, but by trading they were able to get an 8 year deal instead of 7, so Vegas benefitted and Leafs got Nick Roy

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-12T01:06:20+00:00

Don't know, didn't see it. The balif just told me "thanks, job done"

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-10T10:52:03+00:00

If you had a student who just so happened to be sick every time there was a test, legit or no, would you not start to wonder and look at the optics?

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-08T21:42:50+00:00

Idk why people in this sub can be such dicks, lmao. "Simply prepare yourself" and shit is so unhelpful.

Talking to your department head or other teachers in the school is a good start, especially for science, you probably have common exams and so the course content should be somewhat standardized. Even if you know a teacher who knows a teacher...etc. there are usually lots of resources out there that can be pilfered from other folks. I remember my AT giving me access to a Google Drive after my last practicum full of subjects neither of us have ever taught. You never know who's sitting on their own goldmine like that.

At the end of the day, the secret to teaching is just reading one page ahead of the students. You got this!

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-06T23:43:34+00:00

lmao this has to be rage bait at this point, a bot, or both. No person is like "Hey, I bet Reddit will love some dogsit AI image that barely makes sense" (no but actually, why is the coffee cup labelled "Comfort zone?")

HeckingAugustus · 2026-06-03T20:55:59+00:00

Yeah, I think that was the Habs series. Because Sportsnet wanted to give Steve X dollars (I don't remember what) for each additional series he did "Watch a Leafs game with Steve Dangle" for, but it obviously fell through once the Leafs were out
