best since the sixties cup teams

The 60s Cup team would have a hard time making the playoffs playing in this era

Our team is way too soft, it doesnt matter if you have the best players in the world on your team, hockey in playoffs is a completely different thing and our team has not been tough enough in the last couple of years and probably wont be this year either. Best we can do is hope for a really easy opponent to get past the first round.

@@6ixsupaneat674 lol get out of here, fake ass fan

It is the best of all time by far. Even if they don’t win one I can’t be mad

He's worth every penny he makes.

Damn dude how tight are the two of you?! Send me one of his sticks! 😁

69th like :)

Yeah he’s unbelievably talented. Sometimes when you watch him it’s like watching a London knights game, he’s that good! Worth what he makes for sure, he’s only gonna get better!

I agree. I also don't blame Marner for how the negotiations played out either. I tend to believe his pops and agent were the primary drivers of that bus. You can tell how much Mitch loves this team and being a Maple Leaf. It wouldn't surprise me if the way the process went made him uncomfortable. The contracts would have looked better for the team each passing year as the cap went up. Hopefully it does go up a bit given the new US TV deals to get some wiggle room. I know everyone has been saying the cap will stay flat for a few years, but I'm crossing my fingers that the new deals bump it up a bit. During the Quinn era the Leafs did have some pretty good teams. They did tend to rely on the Hall of Fame goalies they had in Curtis Joseph and Ed Belfour though. I do remember thinking they could get by Buffalo in the '99 ECF, especially given the Sabres were missing Hasek to start the series. However I didnt think they would be able to beat Dallas in the SCF. I thought they would beat Carolina in the 2002 ECF as well, but I also didn't think they had a snowball's chance in hell to beat that Detroit Red Wings team. Let's hope for a memorable run here. I have to say this version of our Maple Leafs feels different from years past. It's like I can see the growth from the playoff disappointments of the last 4 years in the core guys who have experienced it. The two things that worry me are the goaltending situation and the lack of exposure to any team outside the division. It's really hard to judge and measure how the Leafs will stack up against the Lightning or Bruins for example. GO LEAFS GO

Same.

WHen you consider McDavid went first in that same year and we lost out by one ping pong balll or whatever it was. We lucked out that Arizona when in on Strome. A local boy playing for his local team, and he loves it.

This comment sounds a little fake...

@@Matt-by3ydI mean Idk why. I'm still relatively a new fan of the game and ESL.

@@nationalhamleague5352 doesn't sound fake at all. couldn't even tell you were ESL. and yeah, hopefully. He's a Toronto kid and he did turn down a couple offer sheets to stay in Toronto, so I hope him and Matthews are Leafs for life!

@@CaptainCanada14 haha thank you I was a little taken aback. Big hopes for the guy but just watching them play is a reward in itself!

4 life

I can’t see it lol can you time stamp???

@@AJ-fp1mw thank you!! And now I’m questioning how I fricken missed that 😂😂😂

It's to remind himself hockey is supposed to be fun at the end of the day. I think Matthews started doing it too. Marner is not only the backbone of the scoring for the Leafs, he's the heart and soul. Just a great kid, with crazy vision.

Same

Same

One reason is that Matthews and Marner are just straight up better. On another level. And they are a near-perfect duo with their skill matchup.

@@MrMnlkn I don't expect them to be as good but they should be much better than they've been. Tavares is on pace for 55ish points and Nylander for 50ish. But they should both be point a game players. I'd like to see them with Hyman consistently. Their line has been a dog's dinner all season.

Same.

Lifer.....

no question

*AUSTON ;)

They didn't respond oh well

No.

@@ajiboy1919 gotta spread the love around, Tavares is honestly suffering playing with Nylander.

NO

@@DoBap_ they’re just going through a slump. With how matty and Mitch are playing there is no reason to split them up they are insanely sick together.
