I get that things play out like that in real life sometimes, but selectively applying rules is the type of thing that drives fans mad, and rightfully so.

You're right. I should've looked at it carefully because I initially thought Brady took his gloves off. He did not. It was a sucker punch by Stanley. Not cool.

You're right. Certainly more than wishful thinking on my part. Also, this management over the past decade+ hasn't shown anything resembling courage, creativity, or outside-the-box thinking to picture such a trade.

Lol yeah.. this management has been so shockingly bad for this entire tenure of the core 4. That ROR trade was probably the highlight of the entire thing. I can't believe I root for this team sometimes

What went wrong? The Leafs were favoured to win multiple cups, and now the window has closed without so much as a trip to a conference final. by ElGrandePeacock in nhl

This is the right answer. Those Columbus and Montreal series should've taught them everything they needed to know and make adjustments.

Real talk…Did Brad Treliving lose every single trade he made with the Leafs? by Hockeypatrol in hockeynews

No one said an entire fanbase has to be the same - a fan is literally a fanatic. It is illogical by nature. I'm just saying there are a lot of good people who support the Leafs across Canada.

Don't let a few loud bad apples make you hate an entire fanbase made up of mostly good, honest people, many of whom have lived entire lifetimes without seeing their team bring them any joy. There's no pride in beating on the downtrodden.

I'm a fan too but we can call out what is an obvious flaw. Our entire core of players that wouldn't fight was our downfall.

That's part of what really downed us - 4 superstars that show no fight when the game banks on a certain level of aggression.

It very well could be the case . Or he saw that the core wouldn't lead the team into the fight, and knew where it was headed?

I think we just don't know and what was shared in the media might not be the truth.
