It's technically the second Mitch. The first one was put up for adoption after his team lost 2-1 in the finals of a very important Mini Mite tournament.

I think some of us might need a refresher on simulation theory...

You're thinking too hard. The key to 'truth' and understanding is learning to 'let go.' Forest for the trees my man. Namaste
:Edit - Pls move to OT no 'delete'. Interesting topic

It is great to see them Implode.
That is a team that is guilty of too many players that are similar. A team that never built out from the goaltender and the defense. I think we should really take a lesson on how not to build a team and Dorian kind of screwed us by putting us in the same situation.
When you lack a quality goaltender and quality defense, you end up with a roster like the Maple leafs. It is scary that this could realistically be us if we don't change things.
I hope Staios is watching, paying attention and taking notes cuz this is a master class in how not to build a roster. I also would be speed dialing Berube because it's going to be Keith's head is going to be the sacrificial lamb here in a few days even though it's roster construction issue. Leafs are going to put Berube as their number one son to bring them to the promised land. Better get that contract. Sign sealed and delivered tomorrow. I have a feeling that mlse is probably going over Shanahan's head and hiring Berube and going to oust everybody in between.

Imagine….. In 2006, the Sens selected Nick Folino in the first round, no second round pick, and in the third round they selected Eric Gryba.
Three picks later, the Bruins selected Brad Marchand

Yeah but did the Bruins try any funny stuff while Reaves was out there?
No. Case closed.
hard to tell till we actually see these guys in the playoffs
It’s incredible watching this leafs team implode. I’ve never seen such a strong indicator of the existence of Karma.
As hard as Toronto sports media rode and derided the sens for being soft chokers against the leafs, they at least had a lot of success against other teams and even managed to win some key games against the leafs. These leafs fold in any elimination game.
The sens players also never had the crybaby stuff you see from Marner. It’s great theatre.
You could do that with almost any draft pick.
Foligno was a good choice only one guy picked after him as more GP.
Gryba was fine. Only about a 10 guys picked in the next four rounds played more games than him. Solid for a third rounder.

No team will succeed if they cant rely on depth in the playoffs.
Dangle sucks so hard. He's only successful because he speaks to the grandiose narcissism of that fanbase. He gets to throw the tantrum on their behalf.
We would have been better served giving $5m to Foligno than to Tarasenko imo. Not a knock on Tarasenko at all, he was a good acquisition, but Foligno is the definition of an all-around pro.
Brady is a hell of a piece for a playoff series, but 1 player can't do it all. The surrounding core is questionable (excluding Sanderson) from a playoff performing perspective, and depth. We lack reliable top end skill guys that other contenders have. I'll blame Dorion for trading countless high end picks on that one.
People have been blaming depth for the leafs failures for years. The truth is that GMs for those teams have still given the Leafs enough depth to win in the playoffs. Their failure to consistently advance is very clearly a result of having their best players not show up when the hockey gets more physical and defensive.

Yup, 100%. My critique was of Dangle, not of the Leafs depth. Although I don't think their team is very well built in general

Could you imagine what Matthews would be like if he had a playoff warrior on his wing - not necessarily your Cam Neely/Brendan Shannhan type but even a dude like Brayden Point, Justin Williams a player who can be there in the big moments with him and always be in on every play waiting for that crack of daylight to impact the game.
Matthews just doesn’t have that wing man in Toronto right now. Time for Toronto to make their Matthew Tkachuk trade and get Matthews and Reilly some dudes who have that playoff magic

TO just need to drop Tavares and Marner and invest the savings in depth. But I'm ok if they keep doing what they are doing.
The fact that this clown was hired by Sportsnet still amazes me.
They couldn't be more in the tank for the Leafs if they tried.
Condolences to the Toronto sports media during this trying time.
