YEEES!! STANLEY CUP CHAMPION 2019!!!!!!!!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Rebuild is officially over... out are big parts of the old regime, and they bring in Tavares.

I’ll take some time to not think about the cap implications but this is a huge signing.

Well done Dubas and company

 

[Willy Stylez]

Wow! Thats awesome

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

I can't even get to the main board lmao

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Won’t win anything with the group of dmen the Leafs have. It’s an exciting signing but really after losing Bozak/JVR and not upgrading the defense... this signing is smoke and mirrors.

amen ignore list

 

[56 Years No Cup]

Yes. Gotta be Cup favourites now.

 

[Pookie]

Dubas pulled it off though. I'm not sure Lou could have

This was likely a full on Shanahan and Bell/Rogers thing.

Not trying to take it away from him but when MLSE does something big like this, they go big.

Tom Anselmi and Drake and CEOs... have been the way we’ve gone after the big fish before.

 

[The Beyonder]

I still can't believe this... even with all the build up and hype... I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!

WE HAVE MATTHEWS AND TAVARES! HOLY SHIT!

 

[TimeZone]

I f***ing love you all.

 

[TimPeel]

My crow just finished cooking in the oven. Ready to dig in. Two summers in a row and two of the most prized free agents selected us... Marleau and today Tavares. Things are turning around.

 

[LeafSadist]

"John Tavares is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League."

Feels ****ing good man, who needs JVR and Bozak

 

[dubey]

Unreal. Didn't think we had a chance prior to yesterday.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Someone find gramps and give him a hug

 

[LeafsFan89]

$11m is a discount and it's going to win us a goddamn cup

Is 11M a discount though? McD got 12.5, and I don't think he was going to get more than him lol.

 

[Antropovsky]

Biggest losers out of this this is air Canada
Biggest early winner is Scotiabank

Haha

Islanders fans should be ashamed of their fan base. Johns Twitter is as toxic as anything I’ve seen.

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

i love that the Islanders fans who have brutally turned on him are talking about how Leafs fans are bad because we'll turn on him. Doubt it. Let's get our boy some cups

Add to that we have Marleau and Nylander as guys that can move to C and I'm thrilled.
