What's interesting is that Toronto finally has a tougher team than the Bruins (If Kurtis Gabriel plays)
I was thinking this too lolAnd yet, if Philadelphia was in the North Division, they still would have missed the playoffs.
what? no "sires" or "twerks" or whatever bs you usually say?This is mega huge get by the maple leafs! Thank you TO THE WHOLE ORGANIZATION! At last a thuggish ruggish bone, who hast they weight of heavy. He really does have that body. Still scoring on the powerplay, what!!! WE DID IT!! : :maple leafs: :maple leaf: Our team is set and ready!
No, you’re definitely right. That I remember clearly.Crazy thing is i recall wheeler had pretty low value while in Boston ... If I remember correctly people scoffed at him possibly being a big piece in the Kaberle trade. Remember people seemingly bring happier to get Colborne at the time. Could be wrong though it's a long time now.

Do they? Ritchie isn't really tough, just big. Part of the reason the Bruins were fine letting him walk is because he doesn't actually bring much toughness to the table. Just stands in front of the net, and for every tip in goal he scores he'll also get called for a goalie interference.What's interesting is that Toronto finally has a tougher team than the Bruins (If Kurtis Gabriel plays)
Ritchie isn’t tough he could rag doll any player on your roster. As could Gabriel.Do they? Ritchie isn't really tough, just big.

Yes he is and he's a dangerous fighterDo they? Ritchie isn't really tough, just big.

As could Simmonds. Far cry from the big bad BruinsRitchie isn’t tough he could rag doll any player on your roster. As could Gabriel.
The Bruins are a soft team now.
I'm fine with it. I've watched Ritchie enough to know he's not a threat. And teams ebb and flow, if the Bruins have a down year, so be it. At least they've won a Cup in my lifetime, that's all I needed to see. The rest is gravy.Yes he is and he's a dangerous fighter
Take a look at your roster wow is it soft especially for a Bruins team
The defense might be among the softest in the league. Sad what's happening to your franchise
The guy is a bruins fan, or something.And yet, if Philadelphia was in the North Division, they still would have missed the playoffs.
While Ritchie certainly has his faults, I think a lot of people in this thread may be underrating just how good of a fit he might be in Toronto.
Toronto should have what is consistently one of the best powerplays in the league with the talent they have up front. It struggles immensely because it's 1-dimensional. There's nobody to screen the goalie, nobody to pick up the trash, nobody to make scoring from within 10 feet of the net a concern for other teams.
That's a big part of Ritchie's game. If the Leafs use him right, it could/should create a powerplay that is nearly impossible to defend. To me, that powerplay time alone should give him the confidence and help him work into a top 6 role with the Leafs.

Could, but won't lol. That's the biggest issue with him. His best asset is his size and strength and he never uses it cause he's lazy.Ritchie isn’t tough he could rag doll any player on your roster. As could Gabriel.

They jettisoned Wheeler that year and then won the Cup a few months laterCrazy thing is i recall wheeler had pretty low value while in Boston ...

The Bruins haven't been "tough" for a while now. I don't think Toronto's issues with Boston are because Boston was tougher than them.What's interesting is that Toronto finally has a tougher team than the Bruins (If Kurtis Gabriel plays)

The difference is that Boston’s star players all play tougher than Toronto’s stars. And those are the guys who get most of the ice time and also set the example for the other players.What's interesting is that Toronto finally has a tougher team than the Bruins (If Kurtis Gabriel plays)
