I’ve been reading here for the first time about Malgin .
Excellent points from everyone and especially from his backers .., that’s cool
That’s not my take as you know .
But I do want to clarify my position and opinion on our new fluffy little toy poodle out there
…
It’s not about him or his talents ( that he has ) in some offensive skills for sure , you can tell he was probably that rink rat friend or the new kid that we all knew with his crazy ability to stuck handle and the best shifty skater , you all know the one , could even been you ? Certainly not me
My gripes about him and or 47 and players like that , the tall and beautiful with long necks or tiny and cute buttons that they are , aren’t actually directed to them as talents , look they are in the freakin NHL , they are good ok .
But it’s that , here it is agsin and again … yawn
We don’t need these types of players !!!!!!
That’s why are always doing “ Leafy things “!!!!!
It’s not our talent and skill , enough already , we don’t need any more , especially tiny ones or tall ones that obviously haven’t added anything to our journey and “ passion “ .
How many more times do we as a fan base have to endure any more with the AM and Mm and J T and on and on and on get their faces slapped and punched and hit hard and giving no respect what so ever !
It’s sickening, you were all fans of the Leafs teams that were at least dogged on the puck , hitters , taking the body always , defenders of each other , some fighters , but always always tough !!! Always having pride in each other ( for those of you that don’t have a clue about “ dressing room “ shiiiit then you just won’t get this .
I’m tired of defending our super super soft team overall ! And I call out for the first time Shanny and Dubas !! What the hell is going on , why can’t we have , young , tough , awesome skating hungry a bit crazy at times line ?? It’s crazy .
So when you see 62 and 47 and 19 and 15 skating around majestically and gracefully and on the odd game they come up with a good one , yayyyyy . In the playoffs , you all know we haven’t gone past the 1st friken round in friken forever with an amazing 5 players of super skill !!!!!
We need to change our philosophy and get some balance and different ingredients.
Enough !!
So to you Mr Malgin and Mr Engvall , you’re good and beautiful.
But we need Real good and ugly in the bottom .
Oh by the way this Will also add points to our superstars as they won’t have to defend themselves anymore and worry about getting rocked so hard that it’s over .
They will play a more relaxed head high game .
I don’t want Simmonds players either , they are over the hill .
But bring back at least one line of nasty young ones that are actually players as well .
So please look at the hits every game , think back to the playoffs .
I love my Leafs just as much as all you old die hards and new ones as well .
But I hate hate hate that we might have the softest , most passive , non stickup for your teammates team in the league and definitely in our history .
I don’t like it and I confident that the number 1 reason why we haven’t been successful when it counts and it’s on the line is our makeup this important ingredient .
You guys and gals and respectfully anyone else that know the score here and why we are where we are .
Fun to watch
Great players
Excellent coach
Fast
Skilled
Great stats
Team records
But
0 success where it counts
Playoffs !!!
I’ll never give up on them ever !
But I dislike our weakness and every other team knows it !
Yuk !
Go freakin Leafs Go
We ain’t the Shabs !!
