I was fans of both of them (the Leafs' situation is honestly probably worse because the expectations are/were higher than the Chiefs with Alex Smith), but at least there is Mahomes now.

Also the 2019 Raptors was a good run.
The leafs went years with zero hope because the team was run poorly but they have drafted well lately and the last few years have had a really good team there is no reason they should have lost , can’t blame the goalie this time , I don’t think the coach did enough to get the match ups he wanted marner/Matthews were still getting chances but would have destroyed any other line than the danault line.
When Price is hot like he was shots from the perimeter and slot still are not enough I guarantee Winnipeg will be crashing the net [Reply]

From what I saw, it was a combination of a bunch of shit (injuries mid-series to their #2 C and #2 D, bad puck luck, and general soft play/bad mistakes at the worst times). So it goes with the Leafs. [Reply]

No idea why the NHL wouldn't want to do what it could to get rid one of the last completely useless goons.
It's hard to understand for sure. The only sense I can make of it is that the NHL just doesn't think that "extracurricular activities" that go too far are a major deal. They're developing a track record of letting guys off pretty easy for that stuff. [Reply]

That was trying to injure someone, wasn’t even trying to stop the goal , that how I got my subdural hematoma on a similar hit in a non contact beer league game. [Reply]

Yeah, he actually moved his stick away from the puck at the last second... that was fucking brutal. [Reply]

Yeah, that was straight head hunting. Really ugly. I love physical hockey, but that's bullshit... [Reply]
