Don't start threads often, but read daily. So excited what the leafs and their management have achieved is such a short time. Since shanny has arrived there has been constant improvement, wasn't so long ago leafs were losing 40 games a season. I see posts that criticize Babcock, being stubborn and so on. Some say one of the reasons Green wouldn't come. I think too bad for Green, the sense of entitlement was rampant before he came, players like Kadri, Bozak, Reily and others benefited by being asked to be accountable. Mike gets them to live right and work hard, the team believes this and the results are obvious. If 3 years ago someone told me the leafs would easily make the playoff and be serious contenders for a cup I would have said yeah right. But here we are. Trade deadline came and went, Lou stood pact and did not give up any assets for a quick fix, I like that. Other teams now are hording picks and statements like we want to get younger and faster, sound familiar? Guess leaf rebuild is the blueprint now. Old enough to have seen the last cup in 67, since then as a fan did not have much to get excited about. Right now just damn happy. Go Leafs Go!!
