Leafs are looking terrible so far, but I hope no snap decisions are made with players/personnel.

It will be interesting to see if the team can show some character, come together and pull out of this tail spin. Everything has been "peaches" the last while, right. Every guy putting up big numbers, getting paid etc etc. Now they have to find their balls, maybe it will be good for the team in the long run


I feel like the leafs lack the balls to do this at the moment. Especially with our injuries right now.
Freddy can carry us in some games, but it doesnt look good.

We dont have any true power forwards or toughness.

Its a one dimensional team and a boring culture, we need spark plugs and some character

We have skill no doubt, but it feels like a team of boy playing in a league of men

and all of dubas' analytics wont fix that.

I 100% agree. The team is soft. But whether or not you go out and make a trade, the guys they have now need to play with more "balls", more heart. Can't trade the whole team

So in a way it's good we don't have a lot of "heart and soul" type guys now. You can lose games, get pushed around all season, or you can grow a pair, develop some character.

I honestly think if you go out and get a Michael Ferland, or whoever, for the guys we have now to "pass the buck" on to, it would be a disservice in the long run.

Kadri was undisciplined at times but he brought the spark and played with balls.

Not sure if it was a good idea for the Leafs to trade him away. Watching him play yesterday it is clear that in his short time with the Avs he has become a popular team mate.

The guys on that bench were thrilled when he scored vs the Canucks yesterday.

Yeah Kadri was the perfect third line centre. Only problem was he'd throw a big hit, and the rest of the guys would watch him get beat up for it haha. Zero back up, kinda like Muzzin now
