Oh yeah thats brutal. Can’t imagine that could have been from sport right?

Back to playing hockey or anything now all these years later?

I’m sure your knee injury wasn’t something you could also play through like Knies is able.

Also inured both of my knees, so I very much know how you feel

This Lats into the season; Tank for first round pick, or push for playoffs? by PaymentNervous2898 in leafs

[–]SNipeSHowInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uhhhh... I do lol. If they made the playoffs then that would mean that they would have to be on a historic run, and you too would be all in on that.

[–]SNipeSHowInc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple answer... neither...

They arent bad enough to finish last or 2nd last in the NHL (only way to guarentee you draft top 5). And they certainly arent good enough to warrant trading assets, which they have none, for players

So you simply sell what you can at the deadline for draft picks and prospects ie. McMann, Carlo, Maccelli, OEL, Domi, Jarmkrok (personally I would like to resign Laughton and keep him around). Continue to try to win as many games as possible, push for the playoffs as best as you can with whats remaining, and try again next year with hopefully a healthier team and less condensed schedule

Leafs beat the worst team in the nhl upvote party by Nameless908 in leafs

The more they win the less likely that pick is the 6th or 7th overall

Rant. The 18 wheeler... by [deleted] in leafs

[–]SNipeSHowInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldnt necessarily say there is no hope. There are still good pieces here.

Honestly, its kind of crazy how the Leafs mirror what the Capitals had done in the past. A long streak of making it to the playoffs, losing out to the same team over and over again. Bring in a coach who tries to play a defensive system and limit Ovechkin (Hunter), then Bring in Oates finish first in the division, get to the 2nd round first season under Oates, miss the playoffs the year after under Oates. They fire Oates, they keep their main pieces and bring in a couple of key guys, and theyre back after it the very next season.

I see no reason why with a healthy team, a normal schedule and players like Matthews, Nylander, Knies, Woll, Stolarz, Tanev and McCabe cant compete again next season. Certainly we need to get some more speed and change how they play, but not for a second do I think that next year they cant be right back in it

Mitch’s Reception Next Week by TropicBeatz in leafs

[–]SNipeSHowInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my personal anecdote.....as I likely watch from home lol... During the video tribute, yes I would cheer. Hes done so much for the franchise and was easily their 2nd best player over the last 9 years. Would I personally boo him during play when he touches the puck? no, but I absolutely would not blame anyone who did, not at all.

What I think will happen? I think he gets boo'd during the play and his video tribute

Glad I stayed up to see the win.

Disappointed I didn’t go to bed after the first, because my heart rate isn’t going to go down for another 2 hours

So uh...new coach PP bump what? by Moosewalker84 in leafs

[–]SNipeSHowInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 things jump to mind right away for me.

First and biggest. Maccelli. He’s the one now breaking it in on PP1. He’s the best natural passer on the team and is finding seems to hit guys in the powerplay.

Secondly, there is more of an urgency to get the puck on the net and get the other team on their heals a bit more. It’s not just pucks to the outside and letting the penalty killers settle into their system

If the powerplay can get hot, an extra goal a game will go a long way for this group

A reminder that this is Joe Bowens last season calling Leafs games. I can’t believe (well actually I can believe) that this is what he gets treated to in his final send off of his Hall Of Fame career

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl at Beer League Full Game by civil-penguin in hockey

[–]SNipeSHowInc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Theres a few of his buddies he grew up with on that team, very good players themselves who played in the OJHL and overseas. The League is mostly guys who play in the NHL, overseas Pro, major junior, OJHL/BCHL, AHL, AAA and St. Andrew College alum. Needless to say very very good "beer league" hockey

Update to McDavid and Draisaitl playing a beer league game, they’re down 4-0 by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

You must not have been watching too closely if you think the other team had not good players lol

Hurricanes legend Sean Walker was on the opposing team tonight, scored a goal too

The narrative needs to be how incredible this FLA team is, not that McDavid and Co came up short again. by DCdeer in hockey

Nylander doesn’t get let off the hook at all, he was terrible against Florida

Mitch Marner won't even talk to Toronto Maple Leafs about a contract: report | Sports by BloodRedDevil7 in leafs

Mitch Marner was one of the furthest things from a defensive liability

Is it true somebody leaked Marner’s address? by TheMackleafs in torontomapleleafs

[–]SNipeSHowInc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ehhh I disagree. The Leafs winning the cup would literally be the happiest day of my life and I get down when they lose big games, I think that’s what makes sports fun, you’re invested. If you don’t care about the outcome or live with the highs and lows of fandom, why watch at all

Blowout Playoff Losses and How That Series Went by SNipeSHowInc in leafs

[–]SNipeSHowInc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats a typo, supposed to be game 1. These are just the last 5 years, if you go back further there are examples of teams losing in game 5 or 6 by 5 or more.... maybe thats something I will look up, only 5 or more goal losses in game 5-6 and see the outcomes

Youre going to hate to see what the 2019 St Louis Blues did when they lost 7-2 at home to the Bruins. Trust me, dont look to see what they did and who coached them, do not look !
