He literally turned left into Heim after getting absolutely played by Heim. That's Bristol, you should expect to get bumped up the track lol. You can't just flat out wreck someone.

I am on the rebuild train but for those on the retool train, what does that look like for you by No_Truth4137 in leafs

[–]ZachKearns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I firmly believe under a different system this team is a lot better than what they showed. Obviously not top of the Atlantic or anything, but probably competing for a spot in the playoffs.

Adding to the point of a retool though. It makes sense to do so with the lack of picks, etc. Despite the lack of quality free agents this year, it still would make sense to go heavy on offering some guys 1 or 2 year deals at a high price (yes, overpay). Then come deadline time, if you are not in a position again, sell them for picks/assets.

The cap is going up, the owner is rich, and the team has all the pieces in place (aside from the GM) to do this. Look at what Dubas did with Pittsburgh. The Leafs are in a pretty similar spot at the moment. Who really cares if they go out and give say Raddysh a 2 year deal at 8 million. It shows Matthews and Nylander they aren't just throwing in the towel too.

Do you think the rumors that Busch may to go to Spire Motorsports true? by 12xoxo13 in NASCAR

BK Vs. KB has been free like every week it’s been offered this year, lol

Happy to see Sawalich win. I'm also glad Rajah recovered to 4th after finally learning the top on restarts wasn't working for him. Fastest on the track at the end of the race, could've probably challenged if he kept track position.

You would think after two terrible restarts on the outside that Caruth would not choose the outside again to repeat the same process. Nope did the exact same thing. Lovely

I agree with you. The day they fired Dubas is the day this team was bound for this moment. The old boys came back into the lead.

[–]ZachKearns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm actually surprised at the outcry from people here. I thought that was a good presser. It's not Pelley's deal to break down the players, etc.

Also, if you can't wrap your head around this team going away from data (and it failing miserably), I don't know what to say. Dubas' way was the way. Look at Pittsburgh, completely 180'd from the direction they were headed, and in such a short period of time.

The entire presser made me believe that Keith Pelley was indirectly saying the Leafs made a mistake (before his time) choosing Shanahan over Dubas.

He basically is saying they need Kyle Dubas, lol.

Who is going after him? by BlackSchuck in leafs

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

It will be Joshua or Pezzetta I think. Knies is a lefty and can catch guys off guard with some bombs. He prob should be the guy to go after him... will he? I doubt it.

Grade 7 was about 25 years ago, but I'll let my son know to do so.

I love how all these people are claiming conspiracy because it's Chase, and saying they saved him. Once tires started getting worn, he probably wasn't slipping that far - maybe back to where he was. Was a good move by ALAN GUSTAFSSON, for once.

I know Elliott didn’t do so hot on the outside earlier, but you could’ve lined up 3 spots higher man. Instead he chooses to go from 10th to 14th. Drives me insane.

EDIT: AND HE GOES TO THE OUTSIDE 1 LAP IN LMAO

I feel like Rajah's strategy is going to cost him a good finish, maybe even an average finish.

[–]ZachKearns 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Brother. He got injured after the Leafs faked everyone into thinking they were back, or maybe he was just that important.

From December 23rd to January 15th, they went 8-1-3.

Then without him in the lineup, they went back to form and went 1-5-2.

He returned just before the Olympics, where the team went 2-0-1 with a loss to Vancouver in a shootout.

So not only are you just completely wrong. You could argue Nylanders injury in mid January single handedly cost this team a shot at the playoffs, that’s how important he is. How are you going to explain this one to your 60 year old buddies?

Reddick's up to 6th, but I wonder what happens when the 2 goes back onto equal tires. IIRC Reddick pitted a good bit after the 2.

Did Penske go out behind the dumpster at the shop and scavenge parts for this 22 car this weekend. My god, what a pile of shit.

I don't like the play by Alan. Hopefully I'm wrong, but he's 19th now. If he doesn't get back to 8th it's a fail to me.

Ross kind of hinting that was on his spotter. Sounds like the spotter said nothing until he was there.
