This explains a lot and the will and pushback of two 11m players, and why they are going to be hard pressed to Win a Cup. I've never seen a more listless, passionless, soft af Captain. And Nylander instinctively jumping off the ice and instead of into the fray.🤮
#LeafsForever
This is what happens when you act like a clown, and entire league is sick of it...mainly the refs, who he tries to embarrass on a nightly basis. How's it working? He thinks he runs the NHL. Yet only thing he runs is his mouth,and away from ppl and can't back it up.
#LeafsForever
Interesting now that it comes out that the
#LeafsForever
wanted ROR and it wasn't about 💰. Just ROR didn't want nothing to do with the greedy, self centered, soft Core 4. After seeing it first hand. Probably throw in Acciari and Schenn as well. It doesn't surprise me one bit.
And a big fat fk you to all the ppl who shoved this down ppl's throats, and berated many. Just like this here, over their personal choice. Now all that pandering and over the top woke bs backfired and they lost their own choice, and the thing they wanted/had! Stay in your lane.
a big fat fuck you to ivan provorov, ilya samsonov, eric staal, marc staal, ilya lyubushkin and james reiner for ruining what was once a really good thing all because you wouldn’t wear a rainbow on your jerseys for 20 minutes.
This is for all the Dubasites who never played the game and don't think this kind of stuff goes on and the
#LeafsForever
don't get laughed at around the league for how soft they are. Like a bunch of Peewee kids scared to get suspended if they drop their gloves or throw a punch.🤨
What a unit Wendel was. Fearless. Here's a minute of why people liked this guy and his heart so much, and get turned off from this

team and it's identity, and leadership. They are polar opposite. They all can't be like Clark, but even 5% would do.

Give me a M. Foligno on my team anyday. A throwback gamer with presence, who will fight anyone, and can play a regular shift. The exact type of guy the
#LeafsForever
are missing up front. No Tik Tok, earrings, paper stats, or hanging with Beiber from this guy. All business.
Who would have thought? I wonder why there ever was such a thing as an Enforcer to begin with? Don Cherry had no problem telling us this would eventually happen. No deterrent or repercussions.
Just because you are a big man, still have to dot the I's and cross the T's! Talk is cheap. He learned the hard way!😏 And it apparently wasn't Bruce Campbell, but broken jaw probably correct.
Someone has to have a stern meeting with guys like Andrew and the rest Cancel Culture,who get offended so easy. Who said they aren't welcome,can't buy a ticket, a pair of skates, sign up to play, or turn on TV and watch? Who? Did Reimer say that? I'll say it again. Grow up.
Someone in the NHL needs to have a stern meeting with players & inform them that wearing pride gear doesn’t make you gay
All it does is make a statement that people in the LGBT+ community are welcome in the sport
So don’t say there’s no hate in your heart if you can’t do that
Who’s the prototype perfect hockey player? I mean can score and assist at an elite level, fighting and hitting was a regular part of their game?
@MarcelAndRogie
Mark sounds like a whiner, who is a little high on himself, and maybe forgot he was a 6th Rd pick himself. And if he doesn't want to get hit in pre-season, keep your head up or don't play at all lol. And if I was this kid, or the Kings, I would be running him every chance I got.
“That’s probably the last time I’ll ever play against that guy. Not really much of a player, so I’ll leave it at that.”
Mark Stone was on demon time in his post game interview.
Now Provorov in the targets of the new woke/cancel culture NHL fans, and SOCIAL MEDIA personalities lol. Just give it up already, worry about yourself, be better. It's his decision for his reasons. And aren't reporters supposed to report, not be judge, jury and executioner?🤔
Short story, KD got embarrassed (why the social media and no presser) when his manipulative ways and ego got in his way, and we lost the most overrated GM in NHL History (look at facts/results) and one of the least experienced "hockey minds" around. Fixed it😆.
#LeafsForever
You should delete your account. This is an embarrassment to Darcy Tucker, and those who watched him play, you can't convince me otherwise. This clip and post tells you a lot about today's NHL and today's
#LeafsForever
new age fanboys.
@CamJanssen25
what are your thoughts?😆🤭
This wouldn't have been called a penalty at all in Bantam 15yrs ago, stick taps instead. Keep your head up and don't be admiring your shot or pass and put yourself in that position, clean imo, led with shoulder, no elbow and never left his feet, Caufield wont be doing that again.
Good time to post this classic. The good old days when the
#LeafsForever
had each other's backs and brought some balls to the rink. Tucker fights up a class and an actual Enforcer in Cam Janssen for touching 13. Yet these guys are scared of Marchand.🤦
Bookmarked this for a reason lol. Told us then all about this Team/Culture built by KD, MM (Paul) AM etc, and what they are are all about. Look at the date, and rmbr what they are celebrating, and then how they performed in PO's over yrs, with no accountability.
#LeafsForever
Where did the Biebs get this getup from....the blanket section at Walmart? What a an embarrassment, and sideshow. This is part of why they aren't winning nothing, this kind of stuff is more important.
#LeafsForever
Stay classy Greg. Way to use this to push for your views and agendas, ahead of the simple respect of someone passing away. Who does this clown work for anyways? They should be embarrassed. Only hear whining and cancel culture bandwagoning from this guy.
If you choose to celebrate Bobby Hull "the player" today without mentioning everything that led to his legacy becoming forever tarnished, you need to reprioritize.
@CodifyBaseball
No way this should be 70/30, he hasn't played long enough to put it simple. What if he had injuries or decline quickly from here on out, and or doesn't pitch that long? Let's give it a few more years.
Imagine getting this upset over someone else's decision, one they have right to make? How about u get fucked Rick, u seem nothing more than an arrogant, Cancel Culture front runner. Everyone liked Reimer, kind of hard not to, now scum bc he doesn't share Ricky's views. Grow up.
I've always said this guy was one of, or the best ever at shooting the puck with some authority while in full stride. Throw in that Jersey flapping in the wind. Classic Modano.
Simmons not afraid to tell the truth, why I'm coming around on him. And I also like the fact he is calling out all this fabricated bs/sob story that some of his fellow media members spewing out, it's an embarrassing look.

I wish someone would ask Dubas at presser "What was the reasoning and what made him suddenly change in his philosophy in 2 weeks, and risk shaking up the roster/chemistry this late, when you have had 4yrs to maybe lean this way in your roster"?
#LeafsForever
Wtf is this? So when is Amateur Night and Blondes in Bikinis? Same difference no? We know it would be sexist and misogynistic though right? Kid: "Dad why are there men dressing up as women on the ice before...THE HOCKEY GAME"? Kind of weird isn't it?? They weren't at my game"?
Comical now it's Klingberg, RR, Tre's fault. Maybe look at the overpaid, over coddled, soft Core 4 who play the EXACT SAME game (throw in 44/78). Who eat up Cap so they can't have balance, and a

If 88 wants 10m with talks being quiet per Frank S, you trade him. Already played you once, and he's not BT's type of player idt. Idc how many pts he put up, he would have been benched in Cgy under Tree/Sutter for effort. And this HUGE playoff performer is a myth.
#LeafsForever
Since there is no more bodychecking or open ice hits to see or talk about anymore, who is your top 10 bodycheckers? Here is mine.
Lindros

Clark

Kasparaitis
L. Richardson
Tootoo

This can't be serious? This is prime ex. of a Dubasite. They are enamored with this guy and everything he does/says😂. Get a grip. He won ONE playoff Rd in 5yrs, after taking over a 105pt team on the rise, while throwing away the future, and terrible drafting.
#LeafsForever
Now Dubas is being commended for trading a contact that he signed that was part of why they lost again, and think it's just about only dropping a few picks. It's also showing how brutal of a GM he is and wasting time, money and assets....
#LeafsForever
Classic for sure, and Hextall definitely didn't foresee it, the way he was skating down the ice shedding gloves and gear like he was going to end one of the Cats 9 lives!
#LeafsForever
There are few goalie fights more memorable than the bought between Felix Potvin and Ron Hextall back in 1996. No one could have foreseen at the time Potvin holding his own against a tough opponent.
#LeafsForever
Got to love all the latest Dubas praise from the Dubasites, ironically by KD going heavier and the type of players that they said they didn't need for 5ys. And ripped on everyone who stated they did, childish name calling, attacks, burners, try to bully etc.👍😆.

Core 4 should be "taking notes on taking exception" on how to lead and set an example as a star player, and from a 3 time Cup Champ. Not smirking like prima donnas with zero track record. Eye test.
Crazy how some don't get this. He assembled the team. It's like a Contractor blaming his Sub Contractors for poor quality work/experience and missing deadlines🤦. "Not sure, ask them...I just hired them"😂. Don't work that way.
#LeafsForever
This guy gets it, and he's definitely not a Dubasite or fanboy of the Core 5 😆. Quote of the year: "I spent my hard earned money to watch..what, a bunch of fkn clowns play....I can go to the CNE for that"!🤣
#LeafsForever
There have been harder slashes in Co-Ed floor hockey in Public school ffs. And to fill you in, Benn is one of the only "Stand Up" guys left around, and not too many are willing to step up and try him on it.
Now Trouba gives us a Rob Blake specialty! This guy knows how to throw an open ice hit, seen flashes in Winnipeg and now he is gaining confidence with 3 classics in a week.
#NYR
Unreal, the NHL is becoming a joke. Mickey Mouse would be proud, what's next kicking guys out for swearing, or offending someone or their feelings on the ice🙄? If he's that bad,

wouldn't have hired him, and whatever he did in between wasn't worth this. He got cancelled.

left no path for Babcock to continue as coach. Much of last 24-48 hours was spent negotiating his exit.
Strong message sent: Treat all players with respect, as you would in any proper workplace.

Prime example why this guy is a fkn idiot. And why I never liked this prima donna, front running, arrogant pos and want to see him lose. He should be embarrassed of himself.
#SuperBowl2024
Condolences to the Snow family. Being here in Calgary over the years and continuing to see how big of a heart this guy had, and how much of a fighter he was, is truly inspirational.
#Flames
Crazy the amount of ppl who are consumed with the idea that the
#LeafsForever
are going to do a nosedive because Dubas is gone, and it's the worst thing they could have done. Have you scrolled through the facts, and think the NHL never existed before him? Both will be fine lol.
Good scrap. Classic Draw imo. I thought coming in that this is what Rempe would have to do to Reaves and use that reach and string him out a bit, and he did (he must have took dome advice), and RR was a bit frustrated early looked like. Lots of punches, not sure how many landed.
@RapsLeafsJays
I caught this as well a bit with Chapman, he was looking down at his helmet or hat and looked like it was the end of the inning and he was getting ready to take the field. They maybe feeling the pressure here a bit and lack of big hits.
Trouba says take that to all the Snowflakes that were looking for a suspension on the hit last night...another beauty hit, and Mac should no better especially in that area of the ice.

@KavasStephen
What a fucking disgrace and I live here and not a one off...doesn't surprise me one bit! Like the amount of fucking let's say less than stellar ppl around this city walking free and at ease, and to see this makes me puke!
Did Luke Hughes play body contact growing up or? How is this boarding? Looks like Hughes lunging for the puck and put himself in a bad spot, and got hit. I mean, where are we going here? Lots of local shinny games to attend if that's your Cup of Tea.
#SoftAF
These guys agree, this was the perfect time for Domi or Bertuzzi to step up, as RR isn't going to beat on a turtling Marchand. Plus, these guys are grown men including Core 4, grab someone and get after it, what can happen, you get a punch in the mouth? Big deal.

Watched some clips last night. Found Treliving to be opposite of Dubas. Comes of natural and everything rolls out as it seems, no pausing, looking away, or thinking like KD before he speaks (we know why). Seems confident, has the keys now, and has a plan already.
#LeafsForever
The crowd is embarrassing tonight..."chanting ref you suck" when AM toe picked and fell himself😄. And now that 100% was a bonehead play by AHL Bunting and clear 5 mins. Maybe he should try to hit someone legal first lol, it's allowed. Get Knies in for him.
#LeafsForever
Trouba is climbing the ranks on the All time open ice hitters list. He knows how to do it, and clean as Kadri just found out. Man who doesn't like that kid. Wearing the C and MSG chanting his name. Quick goal right after.
#NYR
#Flames
Ruthless. This checks all the boxes on the dirty/cheap checklist lol. The snowflakes would lose their minds and be calling for Bure to be deported to Russia after this one.
This is EXACTLY what the Core 4 need. A dose of truth and reality. Nothing is a given, and snap out of it. Mitch and Wally would be asking for a trades as soon as he left the room...oh wait Dubas is gone, might not work lol. Would have to suck it up.
#LeafsForever
I’m sorry, but this speech is the exact thing the
#NYR
have needed at times over the last 2 years, and it’s something Gallant is known not to do.
Drury goes from a players coach to a barker. Let’s see how it works out…
This is embarrassing..but if you aren't going to do anything, this is what is going to happen. I think some kids in Peewee wouldn't put up with this, and show some pushback. Last time I checked you are allowed to stand up for yourself in the NHL.
#LeafsForever
Man do I ever miss this guy and what he brought to the table every night. That clear focus, and that intense glare when he was on edge. He was one of a kind.
#LeafsForever
There is a guy Gregor who skates around in the bottom 6 and serves a purpose, not like a Malgin, Kerfoot or Jarnkrok, or flopping like a Bunting. Good speed and a good shot. It's called determination.
#LeafsForever
Nice tidbit here. Explains why the
#Flames
didn't sign Brodie, self explanatory under Sutter. And like game winner when Brodie played the puck instead of the man...is why if the
#LeafsForever
had a Gudbranson or Zadorov in that spot. Paul is on his ass and rebound cleared. 1-1.
This plays right to my point. So this was perfectly executed, raved about. Yet if kid doesn't move head at last second, or its down and that's what he hits... it is then quickly deemed a headshot and 2 games?🤔
Hot take..Kyle Dubas will be fired (2 years late). And will never see another GM position in his life...and will go down as the biggest blunder in Leafs GM/NHL history after what he was handed....and squandered.
#LeafsForever
Hot take
Dubas becomes the longest tenured general manager in leafs and NHL history
I don't envision a situation he's fired or leaves willingly, the players love him, and I have full trust in him running a team during competitive and rebuilding seasons
Love it...
@SNKenReid

about some Twitter minions coming after him because he enjoys the odd dust up and hockey fight. Atta boy Ken, stand your ground buddy, like what you want to like and don't take no BS.👍
Is this officially the end of KD, SK, Core 4? 2yrs in making? And Dubasites on Twitter? Good riddance to all and the arrogant wannabes who came after all the ppl who stated facts and eye test!🤓 Go back into your holes and take the L, you Fake Fans!🧐 New chapter.
#LeafsForever
Mason Marchment... the guy with no skill and couldn't skate says hello Dubas. How he look tonight lol..was he one of the best players on the ice? Yes and two goals directly from him and his "skill"...yep!🤓
#LeafsForever
Nothing crazy except Chara, he should be far from this list lol. Robinson, Park, Konstantinov, Jovanovski, Marchment, among MANY other Dman that are ahead of him. Blake and Wendel could be higher. Not sure Dion did it long enough. D. Gauthier, G. Exelby and Tootoo underrated.
DOUBLE MASTERCLASS MOVE! 🤓 Traded that dud contract and signing that was picked apart by non Dubasites from Day 1. Now he trades another 1st and because he has the next "steal coming up"...just like all his others....? And wasn't Mrazek supposed to be a steal?😭
#LeafsForever
Taylor Hall throwing bombs with Mayfield?👀 And team culture don't matter. He never would have done that on Sabres or
#LeafsForever
, not a chance.
#Bruins
Now Martin and Tinordi, glad I tuned in to this series tonight for my first good glance.
This isn't dirty, just a hard play, and this is what they do now. You can see Hughes is aware of him from the hash marks in, and shows him his numbers instead of bracing, and preparing for hit or a battle for puck. And the pop up look at the ref, then back down tells you lots.
But the new age kids said it was the "Era"..?🤔 Seems to be nobody else was taking advantage of this same "Era" kind of thing...as much as Gretzky did? How come?🧐🤓
For those saying that is dirty...please quit watching, and go watch tennis or golf with no contact, leave this great sport alone, and continue to drive it further downhill!
Pretty good tilt here. Boulton can go like the old man. Eric was an underrated scrapper and was a bit undersized throwing with the super HW's. Always hung in there in his scraps, and didn't lose big too often.
