The ****ing Season Thread 2018-19

Wow, KT you kow about bioshields... Cool...

You are definitely government.

What do I love about this Nylander development? Its going to accelerate the firing of Boobcock.

Mike Walton says hello Boobcock. Shakey? No, he aint that shakey.

Mike Walton, Stanley Cup winner says hello Mikey.

Boobcock has to go.... This team goes nowhere with this goof in charge.

Wondering if there's any possibility of the Leafs making a move on Parinin. Saw something on twitter today suggesting the Leafs take a rental stab at him. Not too keen on giving up futures for a one time run with a guy.

Thinking though with Marleau coming off the books in two years, there may be a way to swing it. It would likely, however, require putting one of the big three on a bridge deal.
 
And of course McBackup stands on his head and wins a game for Carolina. I am not starting something here, but I DID predict, this would be an odd season for the Leafs. And that we might miss the playoffs. Because we do, have the worst coach in the NHl, behind the bench. Things change fast in this quick paced world and yeah, Boobcock, is the worst coach in the NHl.

Willy, I love ya. keep hanging out in Sweden, no rush kid, the lousy coach is still there.

I love McBaCKUP. How do you run a guy like that, who did what he did for us, out of town? How?

I may have to do something I haven't done since Doug Gilmour and get a McBackup sweater. Jeez, losing that guy might start another 50 year curse. I mean, seriously? Putting him on waivers? Who does that? Asset management? Buzz off.

Asset management? Trade JVR and Bozak at the trade deadline then. Still ridiculous management. Its all on Tanenbaum btw. Greedy pig.

Congratulations btw to everyone who like me, sat nervously with six figure option put positions and made historic gains.

Its tough being a bear in this bullish crap world. We did it. And we will do it again, when the opp provides itself.

You are almost hinting you are right. They are 1-0-0 after 1 game in an 82 games season.
This team has no chance of missing the playoffs.
 
Or followed his contract negotiation history

The Oilers/Caps debacle was enough to tell you what kind of guy he is

Matthews has a weird/slow release

I stand by him having an odd release. He has turned that into an incredible strength which I did not anticipate. I just expected it to not hold him back, wasn't confident it would be a strength. And he works at changing that release every off-season.

Impressive.

His next step (and it's something we haven't seen since early last year really) is to be a dominant possession guy. Too many games where you wonder where he is. The good news is he'll still pop a couple goals even when he's invisible because he's such a one shot threat. But he can and will be better. He has an anchor on his line in Ennis and an aging vet.. so he's really not getting much help there.

Based on playing styles and how they match with the leafs centers I'd go with:

Marleau-matty-kap
Leivo-tavares-marner (Leivo and tavares will work great together much like tavares worked great with vanek. Leivo is a poor man's vanek)
Hyman-kadri-brown (there's your shutdown line Babs)
Johnny-lindy-ennis

When nylander is back, throw him with Matty and kappy with nazzy. Drop brown to the fourth line, replacing Ennis.

Now that's a near flawless forward group.
 
it's impressive that Matthews was able to overcome an odd release that didn't exist except in your head.

you still can't admit you're wrong, it's adorable.

You're calling it an odd release, when it's a technically perfect release. Hands out in front, incredible weight transfer onto the stick. What you're not getting is that because of the flex in the new sticks, the Wendel Clark/Mark Messier wrist shot with the long load period (to flex a heavy wood stick, or even the early aluminums, you needed your hands deeper into your body, at the hips to generate enough force to get good whip) is long gone man.

Matthews shot is incredible, his release is otherworldly.
