I low-key wouldn't mind TOR winning the cup if ROR won another Conn Smyth. He would start to move into fringe HoFer talk, especially having done it with Toronto. He's getting his due praise in hockey Mecca that he simply wouldn't have gotten in St. Louis.
Also, I'm curious if Dubas's analytics and spreadsheets favored ROR or if he broke his own mold and said F it.
Some of us wanted this player the whole time
I would say he broke the mold this year.
He has before but not to the level he went this past trade deadline.
ROR has been a treat to watch. Accari is no slouch either

No it wasn't. It did start in Colorado but it had nothing to do with the show.

If he wins a Conn Smythe for the Leafs, he is definitely going to the HHOF.
Most of you trashed orielly very few defenders of him.
There are so many bad takes on oreilly. In this thread too. First couple pages

You see what you want to see. There were plenty of us that wanted him well before the trade was made.

Like you do realize Leaf fans aren't some giant single entity right? We don't have a weekly meeting to all come to a decision on what our opinions are going to be for the week
There were people that didn't want to trade for him and people that did. That is just facts.that's why when I generalized the group, I did so by there collective response to the rumors of orielly to tor and then when the trade actually happened. Most did not like it. But all in all leafs fans seem to be bi polar. One moment they are claiming a player is the greatest ot all time then the following week ready to throw them away (under the bus).Like you do realize Leaf fans aren't some giant single entity right? We don't have a weekly meeting to all come to a decision on what our opinions are going to be for the week
You can't really argue it. Just check the tor board or any other threads . Lol

No the responses against it just stood out more to you then the ones in favour of the move. You are generalizing the reactions of an entire massive fan base because you saw some people not want to trade for him like there weren’t people that felt the opposite. Like you honestly think there weren’t Leaf fans in favour of trading for him? You can’t honestly believe that.
Not to mention the negative comments on the first couple pages of this thread are almost exclusively fans of other teams making fun of the Leafs for overpaying...

That guy is weird interacting with Leaf fans lol. He had mad beef with some cause of Knies vs Snuggerud. He didn't like some were saying Knies was a more impact player on minny this year.
I would just ignore him lol. Man cries about shit that isnt even really there.
Like he pointed to the front page of this thread as evidence that Leaf fans didnt want him... But the only people I see ripping on the trade were non-leaf fans.
Hey now, if I recall correctly there is a 49 page thread, created on December 1st all about how great it would be if ROR became a Leaf.
So far he's been everything Toronto could want.

Are St Louis fans done with this? Jesus, how long are you going to drag this point out.
Anyways, hoping we sign ROR back. He's got a nice little lucrative endorsement with a big chain here so I am hoping that means he's sticking around.
Him and Knies make quite an opposing duo out there. Couple of big fellas.
No not quite yet everytime he does well and puts points up we will let you all know how wrong most of you where

Not the moral victory you think it is, I am sure many have already put you on Ignore.
Meanwhile, we will keep fawning over our boy. You guys could have been one of those awesome supportive fanbases for a legend like ROR but instead it's just whining and griefing.
It's all about how he feels, he has literally no substance to his claims. I think he just feels bad that his team had to trade a fan fav and their captain, and this odd narrative makes him feel a bit better about it.

Join every Blues fan on this site by ignoring him. Person doesn't even post on the Blues forum, just trolls on the main boards. Although once every person on the site puts him on ignore, he just creates a new account and starts over. This is his third one already.
Also, is there a single other Blues fan doing the bolded?
Might as well use a frequently recycled statement on these boards: "It's just one or two of the vocal minority, don't lump all
I defended him and wanted him. The only thing that scared me was the foot injury. Glad I was wrong about that.

The Factor with 7 points in 4 games, not the biggest factor tonight that's probably Auston Matthews with his 2 goals tonight but ROR with 2 more assists.
ROR, and Acciari have been EVERYTHING the Leafs could possibly have wanted and more.
And you know what we can't forget about Acciari because while ROR gets all the headlines, and rightly so, Acciari has 2 goals himself it's not like he's not contributing because he absolutely is.
