Leafs suck

Kawuma Male we really do!!!

why exactly?

Kawuma Male no u fucking dont

Kawuma Male no u dont

Deserve?

This class act used the isles to his advantage...."the kid who won the calder"....His name is Barzal and he has more skill than you do....

As a Rangers fan to be honest I think he was jealous of barzel..how can he call him kid and not by his name, very disrespectful

Michael Joseph there was rumors during the year that he was jealous that he was no longer THE guy and I now believe they are true!!! And it will be interesting to see how he does with the media and with how slow he is. When you watch 95% of barzals highlights, Tavares is nowhere to be seen until after the goal is scored, he couldn't keep up. He is slow and he had a major slump this season. He chose Toronto bc his wife wanted to live close to her mom. I feel he is going to end up regretting his decision because he is sooo private! His teammates are just as pissed off as the fans. If you wanna leave, fine but don't bullshit your fans, teammates, and organization. If he thinks he's gonna get a nice video tribute and cheering when he comes to Barclays he is sadly mistaken. It's gonna be brutal! And when he goes through his slumps every year and his constant turnovers, the Toronto fans and media are gonna be even more brutal!

I’m an Islanders fan and I can’t help but disagree with your point of view. I’m upset that he left but I understand why. He made promises to the old coach and the old GM. Now he’s supposed to start over again and make a promise to a team that’s kind of in disarray? We’ve been screwed ever since they shut down the Lighthouse Project. The Islanders will not be competitive until they have an arena to call home. He gave everything to our organization and after a while we let him down time and time again. I hope he honestly wins the cup because he deserves it. He joined the team that he grew up as a kid rooting for, and if things do go south over there, I’m sure the only place he’ll want to be traded is to the Islanders. You can tell that he wasn’t gutted over his decision and that he was really torn. I wish we had gotten something for him when we had the chance, but that flew out the window when we fired the coach and GM that he asked not to be traded. If he got traded he would have ended up on the Maple Leafs anyway, and he didn’t want to have to play for another organization for a year. You really can’t expect him to make those kinds of promises to a new staff. I for one will be cheering when he comes back.

melissa totino pretty sure tavares lead the team in points and plus let me get this straight he's jealous of barzal but he's gunna go play with 4 kids that are better then barzal I'm confused I'm pretty sure Tavares not jealous of barzal lol but if that makes you isles fans sleep better all the power to you. by the way TAVARES IS A LEAF GO LEAFS GO

somethings gotta give

Until they’re run out of town.

Dghvd hfhhb thank you! Lol I'm a Canadian, & a Torontonian, & I could never understand why there was even the slightest undercurrent of the whole "Austin Matthews is US Born". Trust me, the vast majority of us Leafs fans don't care if they're Canadian, American, from Mars or are luminescent green lol we win with them, they're a Toronto Maple Leaf, period. Birthplace doesn't matter to me & none of my fellow Leafs fans.

Dghvd hfhhb Auston is probably better tbh

Remember that time everyone loved Swedish man Mats Sundin?

not wanted! we got JT

Shahabuddin Khan lol :| 😁

extrasauce63 I feel like everyone trying there hardest to not fuck up

no like its actually called ScotiaBank Arena now :(

Call it The Bank.

Like the Rogers Centre will always be SkyDome, Scotiabank Arena will always be the ACC.

SuperStrik9 there's actually fewer people calling it the skydome, (as badass as the name is) I'm seeing far less of skydome, and more of Rogers Centre in the recent times

How he forgets fast

Ya but we won't remember that in a few years

You don't know how players talk, do you? That's how they speak. Especially when, you know, THEY'RE A KID!

Michael brindisi Tell that to the Islander fans that he abandoned, saying he’d re-sign, insisted on not being traded because he wanted to re-sign, so the Islanders get nothing. He turned his back on the team and gave them nothing.

Michael brindisi wow a douchebag ranger comment what a surprise

yeah cause the islanders are trash lol

You are 100% wrong. Garth told him he wasn't being traded and Tavares was fine with that. Don't be salty. Isles had many years to put him in a position to win and never even tried. Now you can rebuild with lying Lou the dinosaur and that clown Trotz for the next 20 years.

Graeme Eade , never said he’d resign. Y’all just hoped he would

stevie Y had fedorov and shanahan. tavares had some kid who might be a one hit wonder

The Bank.

#BringbackACC

corporate assholes buying up the world, gotta put their names on everything

They could have made it Scotiabank Gardens, too many arenas these fuckers own with basically the same name lmao 😂😂

Austin Howie gardens would have been great. Nice homage to mlg

Michael Ayres he's a snake

PennyHardaway24 need to get the D-line shored up.

PennyHardaway24 except on Defense lol score all the goals but cant play defense and wont win championships lol but congrats on JT maybe he will attract a high level dman or two

Justin Zlotky cough cough Salty

R C not salty bro JT is the shit and matthews and nylander and kadri and on and on and on but they could use a couple stud d men and then be really scary man

Justin Zlotky yes TO really need another good D-man.

Justin Trudeau?

Laughable you really think you will dominate in todays NHl with so much parity..Youll be lucky to get a shot at it and no way will you be a shoe in...way to much talent wake up and im not a piles fan and can tell you JT is not a generational player and in four years hell start to become slugo, ok maybe five but four seems about reasonable..Good luck with him but get real if you think your a shoe in for anything, not in this league today i dont care how loaded your lineup appears

Yeah at 21:33 he doesn't remember his old teammates name, that's a great class act, that's and asshole who is jealous of the attention barzal received this year

Dylan Rivers I suppose you think he'll be jealous of Matthews, Nylander and Marner too?

Dylan Rivers prolly hasnt slept much for past few days as his heart was swinging back and forth between staying in nyi or signing with the leafs

Peace out snake. Have fun not winning a cup. karma is a bitch.

TavaresBlows sss was not going to win one in nyi anyways, at least he home now closer to fiance, family, friends and have an arena to call home and get to play with Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Kadri and have Anderson in net. Sucks nyi lost their franchise player but at least nyi have Lou, Trotz, Barzel, Lee, Eberle, Hosang

Just got subban on D

onesufi not the right one Looks more like a ahl depth piece to me. That's if his numbers on the defensive side are average

Hofer See the games changed man. Team's dont employ guys like Martin anymore, that takes up a place for a player with skill. Fighting in hky is dying away

STONE I'd say one more player maybe if we trade Matt Martin that's tough on the wing, and a stay at home Defensemen (Defensive Defenseman)

Tyler P definitely, now that they made this move, they should excelerate the rebuild

nobody wants lucic lmao

Jesse M if Lucic could skate he would be perfect for the leafs, they really need some toughness esspecialy on the back end, im sure they trying to make something happen, you watched the finals all the checking almost perfect defence lots to do yet.

loll nice choice of players to bring in :D please dooo it , don't forget to trade nylander too vancouver

Bwaka 67 pretty slow life so far, hope you're like, five years old or something.

lmfao halarious response

lol honestly think these 2 are gonna work out>? strips his "C" , takes his shine,... predicting Mathews to Arizona soon

This is from auston matthews' twitter dumbass.... "Welcome aboard @91Tavares ! Pumped to have you in the blue and white and now call you a teammate #goleafs" This narrative is fucking dumb

I don't understand why people say this. Centre Depth is a THNG. Crosby/Malkin and now Tavares/Matthews. Matthews is also only 21, He will end up being way better than Tavares in the next 2-3 years.

seeeLAH1 boy you done lost your mind

I wouldn’t expect a star player from a team to berate or openly disagree with a signing of a player with JT’s talent. However this was Matthews team and he’s one of the players who dragged this franchise from the bottom of the league to where it is now. Now all of a sudden a homegrown boy is going to come back and steal all of the spotlight and steal the captaincy? If I was in the position I would be pretty pissed and feel kind of betrayed if they gave him all of the credit. Look at what happened to Kyrie and LeBron. A star player took over a franchise while another star player was there fixing the damage from before, and then got no credit after the fact. What’s to stop Matthews from going out and joining the team he rooted for and being a legend/retired number there? Granted I am an Islanders fan and I’m absolutely gutted to JT go, and he did leave in a prettt bad fashion. I do however see that he’s joined the team that he’s wanted since he was a kid and you could tell that he meant everything he said, so I do hope he wins the cup with the Leafs, I really do. But I can’t help but comment on the fact that Matthew and Tavares will clash if things don’t go smoothly and the media starts pointing fingers. Who are they going to blame? The brand new generational talent signing or the young draft pick? It’s not hard to guess where it’s going to fall.

He could not remember it because it was a passive aggressive display of jealousy..learn Psychology and Im not an Isnalders fan but that is easy to see. The kid is awesome and won the calder..yeah jealousy is more like it

Sign De Haan if he's still available so that they can have a stable defender

Subban

You could also trade for Justin faulk

DEFENCE! As good of a signing as this is, we need a solid 1 or 2 defence man.... Dubas pulls that off, we’re looking pretty good....

how bout defence LOL

NHL you can’t be a leafs and sens fan ...

Anthony Hardie He's more of a battlefield guy! Lol

Samuel Kim Salty Islander fans LOL

David McCalla LOL

Maybe because he's a pos? I'm sorry, lying pos. good riddance snake

TavaresBlows sss LOL salty isles fan go cry some more 😂😂😂

David McCalla enjoy the pos while not winning any cups. I'm sorry, while continuing to not win any cups.

me too in another 50 years

I envision the team falling aprt.. no joke.

Skankhunt42 - Matthews for Tavares? Are you really that stupid or are you just trolling?

Dummy, who says they have to resign Gardiner and keep Kadri after this season?

Gardiner - the guy who gives the puck away more than any regular in the league - THAT Gardiner?!?! Yeah, to idiots. I can't take you serious after that Gardiner comment. The only quality guy they lost is JVR, and he was unidimensional. Bozak, Komorov, Gardiner represent a ton of salary and they are all garbage. Kadri is now expendable with Matthews and Tavares down the middle. Go learn hockey and then come back to debate.

This is now a legit question: Do you mean Marner or JT?

Mrsushi1011 obv not idiot both centers

PP line can work. PP Line is still a line.

Both are centers...so they'll be split up. Think of it as Line 1A and Line 1B...that's how strong our top 6 forwards will be!
