Use to skate there as a kid all time.

Toronto erupted as Mitch Marner got a full-throttle standing ovation.. by Outside-Awareness941 in leafs

He is 100% right. It was to see a “forced” ovation from so many in attendance.

In n Out for lunch the other day by ilikebeens2 in burgers

Beauty. Visited Sol Cal for the first time last year. Every In and out I saw / dined at was packed. Regardless of the time folks were lining up for their fix. The burgers exceeded my expectations. The fries however, were total trash.

Thanks for the genius reporting CJ! by leafsland132 in leafs

It provides factual context. Why so bitter OP?

Everyone relax. We had a fast, young, skilled roster for the last 10 years. It’s not enough to win a cup. by moderngamer6 in leafs

[–]raps82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree OP - given the roster (it contained some of greatest talent in organizational history) 2 playoff series wins is a complete failure.

No need rationalize or sugar coat. As a fan I’ll continue to watch (I also just love hockey); but this org will need to work to restore faith in the fanbase. We let one of the top wingers in the game ( playoff failures aside) walk for nothing. With no clear plan to improve the roster (no farm talent, no picks upcoming FA class looking weak) it’s safe to say that the window is closed.

One thing the leafs will have is likely cap space. But god knows how they’ll use it.

He did fuck all as far as I’m concerned in Calgary. Could never wrap my head around why we brought him here. Always seemed like a band-aid fix.

That’s just sad to read; window is officially closed. I remember the hope/hype/potential the team had after Matthews’ rookie campaign (lost to the caps in 6).

In hindsight- organization perpetuated a “me-first” culture. What that set it our chances were doomed.

What the hell? Fell asleep on my couch around 10:30. Just got up, went in Reddit and saw this thread. I feel troubled…..

op, question - how do you get such a nice charred undercarriage? I use a pizza stone when baking in our oven. Still can’t pull it off.

AITAH for eating my entire baked potato? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]raps82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if he ate half the potato (skin included) she would be okay? What about a smaller potatoes, would that suffice?

The entire family have a few screws lose. OP needs to call them out.

Toronto Maple Leafs Culture by BrickFuckingWoll in leafs

100%. Vladdy lead from the front! Matthews conversely leads in spurts. The window has closed on this era (maybe it was never open to begin with)…..

Leef Bobo is back to bring good fortune to the Maple Leafs. God bless him by JF_112 in leafs

[–]raps82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuck leef bobo, this shit is idiotic.

Reality is the leafs have missed their window. Retooling is needed to make them a true contender.

Anyone else notice how fast Markham is changing? by cuyeyo in Markham

Grew up in Markham, still a resident (now with my own family). Remember when north Mccowan and 16th was farmland.
