The tears of non Leaf fans are delicious.

Watch how Gavin McKenna’s “comp” has gone from Nikita Kucherov to Bates Battaglia in 12 hours.

Matthews, Nylander, Knies, Cowan, Tavares, McKenna are a pretty sick group of forwards. BUT you CANNOT play that horseshit system of Berube's. Matthews needs to be used like the stud goal scorer he is.

I'm loving the conapiracy theories and bitching and crying today about the draft lottery. My personal favourite? "They cut away to cmmercial to replace the balls all with 12." Close 2nd is: "they used heavier paint on all the balls not 7, 2, 11, 12 so that only those would rise"

A nice little piece here in the Leafs Morning Take for leafs nation this morning. David Pagnotta says he spoke to both McKennas and Matthews camp. McKennas camp is excited and jacked about the opportunity to play in Toronto. Matthews side is excited. Take a listen. #LeafsForever

So what's up with all the Paul Bissonnette drama crap?

Me: TGIF! Coworker: Bro it's Thursday. Me: Worst Friday ever!

I only get one?! Ugh. 1. Blue Jays-LAD game 7 2. Leafs-Habs game 7 3. Leafs-Bruins game 7 4. Leafs-Panthers game 5 (2023) 5. Leafs-Panthers game 7 6. Leafs 4-1 game 7 7. Leafs-Bruins other game 7 8. Blue Jays-Royals game 6 9. Blue Jays 8-1 wildcard game 10. Leafs-TB game 7

To be fair in the context, it has to be the World Series though. As bad as all the other ones were, that was the only loss that has ever made me cry real tears. FU IKF and Jeff Hoffman!

You know what would go well with a playmaking franchise forward? A 23 year old power forward that hits, fights and has already scored 29 goals and had 66 points on one leg all year Don’t trade Knies

They have the assets to get him but there's no chance they make them available. You're not getting him for 2nd tier prospects and a prospect. The talks START at guys like Levshunov, 4th overall, Frondell, Nazar, Moore, Rinzel. But they won't and probably shouldn't move them

Before Matthews left in the Summer, he mentioned the Bruins one-off season, he mentioned Tampa Bays one-off season before they finally won. Then said he wants to be part of the solution in Toronto but he can’t predict the future. I bet he wants to know what the Leafs plan to do

*turns on Ducks-Vegas game. Nope! Absolutely TF NOT! *turns off game We live in sports hell

Tired: everybody yakking about Mitch the Bitch Marner being so good in the playoffs with 3 EN goals. Wired: people talking about noted ex- #LeafsForever Freddie Andersen being 8-0 with a 950 sv% and 1.1GAA. Go get em Freddie! That's my boy!

I saw a cat out for a walk on a leash today. Everyone was confused: the cat, curious onlookers, dogs, birds, the cat, everyone

What exactly does Olivia Chow do besides appearing at every possible photo op?

Bennett (with history) runs over and injures Stolarz intentionally for the playoffs. Craig Simpson: "that's just a good hard drive to the net by Bennett. You love to see it" Doan runs over Dobes who skates away CS: "that's egregious and should be a game misconduct!"
