The Leafs problem today is the owners embraced analytics but stats do not show emotion.
Nobody on the Leafs bench showed any emotion in that third period and for a team that needs to bank every point possible to even make the playoffs is simply appalling.

Lack of truculence coming back to bite them.
Probably an argument can be made about how a modicum of intangibles are necessary.

Anyway to like this a million times. Dubas and his advanced stats should be looking for a job soon. Want to build a fantasy hockey team this is what happens, the Bruins dance perilously close to this at times.

I don't disagree. I will note however, that the Leafs brought in Clifford, the same type of player that many here are clamoring for. And has it changed one darn thing about the Leafs? Not from what I can see.
I guess my point is, it takes more than just one or two tough guys to build that emotional take-on-all-comers, one-for-all, all-for-one, mentality and culture.

Sheer lunacy. If that's gonna be the going rate over this trade deadline, I'll roll with our current roster.
Thank you very much....

yep yet many here will lose their minds if DS decides it`s simply too rich to go and fetch a Kreider or whomever
The Sens have literally loaded up on draft picks adding to an already nice looking roster of talent who are going to be good in a few years

He's breaking his new line of men's cologne called November. He and Quenneville are partners on this.

not sure emotion is the issue as I`d put my money on lack of any urgency and still a total and complete disregard to commit even a bit to defensive play.
They all play like their natural skill is more than enough to get the W`s

Was watching the History of the Boston Bruins tonight for the one hundredth time on NESN and something that had been bugging me all year long just flashed before my eyes and jolted my memory back in time. As we all know,the real reason for the Leafs problems this year stem from the hideous Matthews mustache. But I knew I had seen this movie before and there it was tonight. Video clip circa mid seventies and there it was. Our own Carol Vadnais sporting that same lame stache! No wonder Harry had to deal him to the Rangers.

David Ayres on the Late Show with Colbert right now
Hard not to love this guy. Certainly helps he beat the Leafs and he’s a Bruins fan

I suck at gifs but someone in the photoshop thread requested combining Ayres and the zamboni kill from Deadpool.
I'm so excited to read toronto's relative corsi numbers and why they are actually one of the best teams in the playoffs come april. Best time of the year

Why it was surprising Sharks didn't trade Jumbo at deadline
Joe Thornton had multiple chances to leave San Jose in the past if really wanted to win a cup he should have pushed for a one year deal with a team like the capitals,blues or bruins at the beginning of this season.
