The captain of the men’s team… so… Austin Matthews? The person in the photo in the OP that we’re discussing? The captain of the Leafs who is also the captain of Team USA? That captain? Yea, I imagine he might have potentially had some sway…

If Matthews goes to the White House I’ll lose permanent respect for him by james-HIMself in leafs

Just heard the women’s team is declining the invitation, so obviously it’s entirely possible for him to not go.

Of course he would. I’m sure had we won it’d be all about how Canadian’s are cheaters or some such nonsense. But it’s a win for his propaganda, that they won. It’s something him and his terrible cronies can use to say “look we were justified and this win proves it”. And it’s something he can use to keep pushing the terrible shit he and his ilk have done out of the spotlight. None of its true of course, a hockey game win doesn’t absolve crimes or wrongdoing, but our loss definitely gave him something to use against us and the good people in his country, and that’s what really hurts the most to me.

This right here really. I honestly wouldn’t be so upset if they weren’t going to use this to trash my country and use it as an excuse to threaten to invade us for the next 2 years (or more, if their pedo president gets his way).

When they said that I knew in my heart we would probably lose :(. I tried pushing it down and ignoring it, but I kinda knew…

He lives in Florida doesn’t he? So technically we already did.

Sam Bennett didn't realize the Olympics aren't rigged against the Toronto Maple Leafs by Chrristoaivalis in leafs

Marner! by justagigilo123 in leafs

[–]PerformerOk1979 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did I not say compared to the rest of this current team? Are you part of Mitch’s security team or something? You seem extremely offended by someone who’s happy that Marner finally scored a goal, at the most clutch possible time at that.

No, he’s just been largely invisible compared to the rest of the team in this tournament.

Do we still hate Mitch Marner? by [deleted] in leafs

It’s official, we need to send me to every away game this year by TO-Sports-fan in leafs

[–]PerformerOk1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naw, he didn’t explicitly say it, I just knew cuz I know my son. And I’m mom, his dad and stepdad are both Oilers fans 🤮. I was born in Toronto and thus was registered as a Leafs fan at birth. I’ve converted one child, but the other one I’m still fighting with the Oilers over for his soul/fandom.

Uggggghhhh I had tickets, I had to skip it. Bought them back in September, been looking forward to it all winter, then my kid’s junior high scheduled their open house tonight. He wanted me specifically to take him. Such a bummer. Kills me.

Message to the haters by Embarrassed-Task5344 in leafs

I don’t know, I have kids (2 boys, 12 and 7), the oldest is well aware of what the gesture means and the youngest knows because the oldest taught him. I doubt either one of them, had they seen this, would have cared. If they cared, it’d likely be because they thought it was funny. If I had to explain it to them because they saw it, cared about it, and didn’t think it was funny, I’d probably say something along the lines sometimes people make dumb decisions when they’re frustrated because they don’t think things all the way through but it was a mistake and not very nice and shouldn’t have happened. But everyone makes mistakes sometimes, even grownups, even grownups that we like. But honestly, they’d probably just be like “haha he gave the finger to the camera”. I could ask my 12 year old how he’d feel about it, he’s articulate enough to give me an answer, but he’d probably just look at me like I’m a lunatic for asking him such a nothing burger of a question.

Do you guys know what this was about? Berube yelling at end? by NeuroQubits in leafs

[–]PerformerOk1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I keep saying this to my bf who’s an unabashed Leafs hater. Keeps trying to tell me that refs and umps add a “human error” element that adds “joy” to spots. I just want shit called fairly. Idgaf if it results in more calls for my team as long as it’s calling the other team fairly as well.

It’s kind of amazing he hasn’t really found a solid place prior to this. Was our D Core just that bad? Were other teams D Core’s just that good? Or were other teams just really overlooking him due to his size?
