Anyone taking a shot at the posts on the Leafs board needs to seriously take a look at some of the shit that's gotten posted on this forum over the past 48hrs........

Let me guess they planning the parade route again. I think they did that when they got riley nash too. Very normal.

Had more fights than any other Bruin from the time he was acquired until the time he departed.
Only because Miller was mostly injured and Frederick was rarely dressed, otherwise those 2 would have easily been in more scraps then Ritchie.

Some of the proposed line combinations they have on the Laffs board have Ritchie on the top line. Lolololol best of luck with him as your top LW Laffs fans!

what will likely happen is Ritchie will put up solid numbers playing on a team who need a GPS to find it own zone and fans here will be screaming at DS for letting him go.
I have 0 issues with not seeing him ever again in a Spoked B. Thought some here over rated his game, while he did, from time to time have a nice game, he was often MIA, moreso IMO than Bjork was while he was still here and he literally disappeared at playoff time and clearly couldn`t keep up to the pace of playoff hockey
Lucky for him, Leaf fans only have to worry about the playoffs for one round
Stop it. At zero point did Frederic “hold his own” in that tilt. He ate a bunch of jabs, caught the tip of a bomb, and luckily ducked a bomb just as Wilson was starting to rag him. Had Wilson not basically flipped himself off balance, Frederic was in serious trouble.
The homerism has got to stop on this board…
Freddy deserves credit for his willingness to fight a bigger, older man. Period.
Now, that being said, I’m excited to see how he’s filled out after another off-season. Nothing says he can’t be ready to take Wilson this year.

Im not high on Frederic at all, but that fight wasn’t anywhere close to as lopsided as you’re making it out to be. “Holding your own” doesn’t mean you won the fight, it just means you weren’t beaten decisively (ie TKO or KO) and pushed back on the other guy with a little offense of your own. I’d say it’s a pretty accurate assessment of that tilt.

Trent Frederic is bad at fighting, let’s just not try to label him as something he isn’t.
Foligno is even a much better fighter than Frederic, like much better.

Random pet peeve: people on the main board (in this case certain Toronto fans) who paint anyone who dares say anything not glowing about a newly acquired player as somehow unreasonable. I know I rag on Ritchie obnoxiously, but I feel like I’m being pretty reasonable and it just gets bombarded with “can we relax? He hasn’t even played a game for this team yet!” as if he’s some unknown asset who may be the next Gretzky and doesn’t have a history.

Seeing Leaf fans hype this and say we will eat crow is funny.

That one was more even. I’m sorry, I forgot they went twice. I was referencing the other bout.

Will the Leafs be supplying the piano he skates around with on his back or is he responsible for providing his own?

It’s only a matter of time before Fred either gets KO’d or KO’s someone else. One of the most reckless fighting “styles” I’ve ever seen.

He is a bit on a loose cannon that’s for sure. I kinda like it tho. I’m hoping he can also play hockey at the nhl level. That’s more what I care about. But having a guy throw down is nice too

How is there a narrative that the bruins don’t fight much? They were 9th in the NHL last season in fighting majors.

Hey, hey, hey!
These two may work out in TO, and may even come back to haunt Boston, but I am beside myself with joy that they are no longer Bruins.
I won't trash them on the way out, as I did unstintingly while they were here.
I wish them both well, but the Bruins have removed two nebulous, hazy clouds from their roster, and the picture is clearer.
Now get rid of Jake.
Sorry. Not sorry
