I gotta admit I didn't really believe they had it in them to be this loving pathetic right out of the gate. I should have had more faith.

You can conceivably outscore that issue, but not with the penalties

The same thing keeps happening even after you changed the GM and shuffled some bodies

either you fire the coach or you get rid of one of the big boys

Hand Knit was the biggest “coaching doesn’t matter actually” person out there because he bought in hard to 2008 analytics that asserted there were no other factors than raw shot count in hockey, but also fans of other teams took it as an opportunity to dunk on Leafs fans being reactionary

5th longest tenured coach in the NHL! Three guys that have won Cups in their current spots, Rod Brind'Amour, then Keefe.
