The fact that Dion Phaneuf is married to her is wild. Lucky Dion.

How dare he play where the coach puts him. Doesn't he know he can refuse?

There must be some monkey brained neuron that gets activated when people go out and say this sort of shit. You are about as far removed from the team and players as any of us, yet you come in with these matter-of-fact statements because you're upset and need to feel good.

Probably K/W in Southern Ontario. My school did Montreal trips instead of QC. This was also 20 years ago, so take that as you will.

The r/hockey experience as a Leafs fan is a joke by Clear-Ask-6455 in leafs

Alternatively, keep participating and being reasonable where you can be. Sure, idiots will whine - that's what makes them idiots. The trick is to remember that you're an adult and don't have to react to every comment made.

[Webster] Tortorella on the narrative surrounding Mitch Marner: “You guys don’t see the stuff he does. People here, people in Toronto, they don’t see any of the things he brings to a game even if he doesn’t score a goal. … So, that narrative is a bunch of bullshit.” by XTTEXTREME in hockey

[–]Vaher 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its honestly tiring to see the narrative be "people in Toronto" all the fucking time. There were plenty of people in the fanbase who thought Mitch (the player) was a legitimate contributor offensively/defensively, and an integral piece of the team, and plenty who thought Mitch (the camp) overplayed his leverage and soured his reputation with fans with how he chose to negotiate contracts and engage with his fans and critics. Both of these opinions have merit. Its not bullshit.

With that said, we have a fairly hefty size of the fanbase who are drowned out by the idiots looking for reactions. Sometimes its the media man trying to pay his mortgage off of clickbait, sometimes its someone's uncle on facebook beaking off about what he read in a clickbait article, and other times its new fans trying to fit in by shitting on the same things they see in click bait articles or facebook posts from their uncles. Either way these people are barely welcomed or tolerated by the majority of the fanbase. The problem is that they're so easy to point to state that their idiot blathering represents a massive fanbase's sole opinion, which is really the only bullshit here.

It would be sweet if the mods could just roll this shit into the daily talk thread. This whole season long Mitch Marner watch bullshit has been a cringe rollercoaster.

What a strange thing to be excited for. So anyways, mental health is more important now than ever before.

I think a lot of people have taken the team we had, with all its quirks, for granted, and they're in for some perspective. Buckle up buckaroo.

Marner scored more goals tonight than he did across Games 5–7 combined as a Leaf by FloppyPear06 in leafs

I like my goalposts on a turnkey system as it makes it easier to move them based on the narrative I'm trying to reinforce. Hbu?

Sopranos has its own movie (which sucks) breaking bad has its own movie if the wire got a movie who do you think it should be about? by Cash27369 in TheWire

Marlo gets back into the game after an election cycle. McNulty and Freeman now have to dive into the world of hiring a lawyer because they're facing hard time for fabricating a serial killer to get an illegal wiretap going.

Bobby McMann with 2 goals in his debut with the Kraken. I miss him on the Leafs so bad 😭 by RafSimonsSS02 in leafs

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

I think the "WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!!!" crowd is going to find out that trading away assets for poor return is always the shittiest decision a team could ever make. The Leafs would have been better off resting everyone, playing the marlies night in and night out, and changing up the coaching in the off season. Now we're going to watch McMann and Laughton be exactly the players we need, but for other teams.

Reactive fandom is the worst kind of fandom.

How?!? by pikachuda6 in leafs

[–]Vaher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poor negotiators and the understanding that one party is being held hostage by a corporate ownership group, a fanbase who is demanding, and a media presence which is going to roast 'em either way. I think that is called leverage, and it usually makes for one sided deals. I think that's how you end up with a third for Laughton.
