yes the Leafs fucked it up bla bla bla (mostly because he should have been traded for a boatload) but the guy was a repeat loser here. nothing he does anywhere else on a much deeper team is going to change that.
I don't really get the "uh oh, what if Mitch does well in Vegas" thing. I don't...
we'll never know I guess but I never believed the "Leafs winning the lottery didn't make any difference to Matthews' thinking" reporting, which appeared awfully rapidly after said lottery win, if you ask me..
McKenna has franchise player ceiling. that is what the numbers tell us, and they would have told us it even more had he elected to return to junior instead of going to college.
we played teams that punished us for the type of effort Montreal just gave in game 6 and 7 of that Sabre series. and game 7 of the Lightning series, frankly.
