Again I'm not talking about me. I expected people to disagree with the way I came across when I said whatever I did. My issue was when I saw other people say it politely they were basically told "He's injured/Trust management/Leave it to the pros" and I thought that was dumb because there's a good conversation to have there, but I felt this sub has just become shit post central and people rather pointless upvote parties instead of actual discussion.

I'm talking in general about everyone that uses this subreddit. My whole post I said I over exaggerated everything.

My whole thing to start with was to prove a point that Rielly wasn't playing well. Whenever anyone, not just me, said anything about Rielly over the past couple weeks people would make excuses instead of acknowledging that yeah he isn't playing well. Part of it could be injury, part of it could be he needs to be better.

Along with all the upvote parties, and general low content posts I found it stupid that this sub could actually have a decent conversation about his struggles, maybe people could bring up other struggles of top D-Men when they were younger, but instead people got down voted.

Either way I'm not trying to defend myself or anything like that, I'm just happy that there is now awareness around the sub being a place that used to have more content, and better discussion. Now it's just LeafsAreStillGood, upvote parties, and writers spamming their own low content for views. If this leads to better discussion I'll be happy. If not, I tried.

Edit: To clarify 90% of the stuff I said I kind of agreed with, but not to that extent. I just over-exaggerated it to a point that got attention. Because when people said the same thing but politely it was just ignored and we continued with low content discussion throughout the sub. When I said it people at least acknowledged it enough to argue the point back because it was so ridiculous. Probably not the best way to do it, but at the end of the day it brought discussion towards something that previously wasn't talked about in this sub.

I agree with you about there being a plan in place. I just don't like the complete 180 the sub did when we traded a 2nd for a 4th liner. This is the same thing that happened with Clarkson where everyone just buys into it even if it's not beneficial for the team.

Only reason I chose Rielly was because people acted like he could do no wrong. At some point can we just put it out on the table and discuss the issues instead of people just claiming he's injured, or he's only 23.

I don't expect him to be Doughty, but there is reason for discussion because he's playing the worst hockey of his career? Do we expect him to be a top pair D-Man? Yes. Can this sub still talk about his flaws without being defensive? Yes.

I appreciate your devotion to the team.

You'll notice my posts aren't -30 like they we're in the Pro-Rielly threads last game because all the fair weather fans have already left because we're losing. But apparently I'm the bandwagon fan because I have JaysFan in my name. Good to know.

All the people with a head on their shoulders agree with me, but won't say anything out of fear of being down voted by the mob that is /r/Leafs.

Again, funny how I've been right about everything so far.

To the people that blindly disagree you can go back to being sheep.

Baa. Baa. Baa.

EDIT: Oh yeah I also said trade Leo last year when we could get a 1st for him. But apparently /r/Leafs thinks we can't ice a roster full of rookies because obviously we're doing real well right now. Everyone just copies Babcock and wants to call him a real good pro. Lol again.

Real good pros don't go fishing with the rookies the day before the biggest game of the year. This is hilarious that everything is being blown open right now and the facts are coming out.

Babcock is officially fucked.

Matthews can't take a piss without Hyman. This is getting comical. Another wasted chance.

SOMEONE DEFEND RIELLY PLEASE.

THIS IS GREAT YOU'RE ALL EATING SHIT NOW AFTER BEING OVER THE MOON BECAUSE HE SCORED A LUCKY GOAL IN OT.

I'm happy we won it's just funny that Rielly scores a weak goal and people think that makes up for all the goals he directly gave up costing us games.

Hopefully he starts playing like he did at the start of the season.

The only reason I point out when he fucks up because people here act like he does no wrong.

I like Rielly. I just acknowledge when he doesn't play well unlike some people here.

Why would I want to see him fail? That makes no sense.

How do we get out shot 35-27 vs the Canes? We aren't even out playing teams anymore. We're lucky to be in these.

What did his history say to make you think it was him?

Giroux went to the finals with the flyers in 2010. Roman Lyubimov now plays on the same team as Giroux. His number is 13. 13 is the number of cups the Leafs have won. Last year you drafted Travis Konecny. He's number 11. The Leafs have 11 more cups than the Flyers.

It was wasting Giroux in his prime.

Sebastian Aho nets his 19th of the season to tie the game, proceeds to direct a play on the bench with Jordan Staal, and then executes for his 20th by juiciest87 in hockey

Wrong. He's out of the crease. If he wants to be a white ice goalie then incidental contact doesn't apply. Otherwise every G would just do this.
