Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] Leafs sign Tyler Ennis (1 year, $650K)

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Leafs could sign Tavares to a discount and people would still be here bashing it.

Leafs did get a discount for Tavares. I am certain there are many many teams that would have ponied up more than 11 x 7. JT chose Toronto for more reasons that money alone.

No. Plenty of Leaf fans have said Matthews sucked pucks in the playoffs. And Anderesen was terrible in the series as well. He had some magnificent saves but that does not change the fact he gave up bad goals. He was horrific in game 7.

He was really bad in game 7 but without him we would never have got to game 6 let alone 7. Boston absolutely dominated the series and the better team won.

Matthews didn’t suck but we really needed more from him - he wasn’t good

Matthews was concussed multiple times and separated his shoulder last year. Quite frankly he shouldn’t have even played in the series.

Boston did not absolutely dominate the series, they dominated the first 2 games.

Multiple times? I believe it was only once.

Is this the Jack Johnson thread?

Haha he sucks too but at least I acknowledge that and don’t try to say otherwise.

 

[BagHead]

Disagree with this. He got every opportunity to be a top line C/RW for Buffalo. One could argue that he didn't have enough around him to be successful, but the opportunity was his for the taking.

It's a good low risk signing for Toronto, though I suspect his bakery-level amount of turnovers will get him into Babcock's doghouse sooner rather than later.

I was referring to his playing for a rebuilding team for his entire career until last season, and his severe concussion which has turned him into a shell of what he was.

Must be Marlies bound. There is really no roster spot on the big club for him. This signing not making much sense.

This is the part the Leaf haters can't handle. Think about it: Best free agent movement since probably Chara, finally a hometown player proving there really are players out there looking to live out the childhood fantasy to play for the Leafs *and* he took a discount to do it. That combined package is a Leaf hater's nightmare.

Literally happened last summer with Shattenkirk.

I'm talking about the Leafs and how our fans are mocked because we (rightfully imo) think there may just be a few stars out there that would love to play here because they grew up as fans of the team. It's an on-going debate.

I would disagree whole hartedly. I found it so hard to watch. It seems like the leafs only tried to flip the puck out of their zone and wait for another onslaught.

I am a diehard Leafs fan FYI and felt they were completely outclassed.

I think the Leafs were worried they’d get penalties if they got too close to a Bruin player.

 

[glucker]

Literally happened last summer with Shattenkirk.

He was talking about the longstanding meme of top players not picking the Leafs- even if they’re from Toronto- and the mocking Leafs fans got from the haters.

He’s not saying that a free agent has never signed with the team he grew up cheering for.

Oh, I know, lol

for the most part unfortunately true and same with the washington series last year

Well, the difference of Course that Ennis is a relatively speaking, a meaningless depth signing on a 1 year league minimum..../

While Johnson had perhaps the worst contract signed this free agency period

Sure there is. On our 4th line. What are you on about?

I think you may be remembering incorrectly, they were not dominated after the first two games and really started to take it to them with their speed after that, and Boston's physical play died down by a longshot. Overall they lost to the better team for sure don't get me wrong, but your entire description here were how the first two games went only.

Every game in the Washington series last year was decided by one goal (except for one maybe?), a few in OT too. Either you guys have short memories or you're not giving your team enough credit for how well they played.

 

[Holymakinaw]

He is terrible.

LOL. No he's not. Jesus. He only cost 650K. If he works out, GREAT. If not, he's a Marlie. There's literally zero risk.
