TUNE IN TO FIND OUT
When they move out of Detoilet and to the palace of Auburn hills next year sure they will.
Too bad it will only be for a few years, then back to the shithole.

Ummm the Leafs have no brains, period
Someone must have put a curse on them after the 67 cup
Useless idiots trade McDonald away, Courtnall for Kordic, Kurvers for should have been Lindros but then traded EVERYONE so was Neidemeyer, Kessell for 1st round (2nd lottery pick)
Put no skill Gill at defense even though he played juniors at wing, put Kaberle on defense when he scores a ton but sucks at defense and really should be wing.
Once they get rid of Wilson they might have a chance but until then it is status quo for my hockey team
Oh yeah and they really need to trade Beauchemin, that useless excuse of a defender has no concept of player positioning at all, let alone how to clear the front of the net
I still stand by the fact the Leafs have one of the better D cores in the league. The numbers dont show it this year, but I blame Toskalol for most of that. Not only did his number sucks ass, you could tell the team had no confidence in front of him.
Toskala's performance was particularly damaging. He entered the year as the No. 1 goaltender and was ominously pulled in the second game after allowing three goals to Washington in just 20 minutes. It didn't get much better after that.
"Yeah, I did lose a little bit of confidence in Vesa at the beginning and he probably felt it," said Wilson. "He probably felt it from his teammates because he was continuing where he left off."

Yeah we made potvin, cujo, and belfour look awful.
Most leaf fans will blame Toskala. The guy is FUCKING TERRIBLE. His first year he was decent. Last year I still defended him based on his first year (ask Pagy, he probably still thinks I am moron for defending the guy all year).
This year was enough - the guy is a wreck. You were assured two goals a game that a 12 year old could stop. How do you play D in front of a goalie that cant stop a beach ball?
That, and the constant flow of fucking bums trying to sell you pins for 5 dollars, and if you refuse they follow you to the entrance.

as much as id like to see washington goto the stanly cup, their team is cursed. No way they make it past quarter finals. As is typical.
This post reminds me of a few phrases: "there's always hope" or "hope everlasting." Or maybe "there's always an excuse."Are you seriously suggesting they put Kabby on the wing?

As for the Kessel trade, if he continues to play like he did at the end of the season I can see him putting up 35+ goals/75 pts next year. The guy is 22 years old, it's not like they traded for some 35 year old vet. Obviously losing a top 3 pick is brutal, but I expect the leafs to be a lot better next year - I don't think the pick will be nearly as high next year.
Sorry for derailing.
oshit you are right
ninja EDIT!
Also, why are so many people picking the flyers over NJ?
Is it because NJ always chokes in the first round?
NJ has not looked great in the last few playoffs. Brodeur sometimes can look average and at age 37 may not be the lock he once was. Playing him back to back to end the season makes me wonder if he has another deep run in him? He's looked great lately though.
Philly's goalie situation is a nightmare, but if they can get a hot goalie between the pipes, they have the talent everywhere else to upset.
The problem with the Leafs is and has always been they are completely against just sucking it up and going on a 3+ year rebuilding cycle.
Burke comes in and cleans house, then suddenly makes a strong play for Kessel and gives up valuable picks in the process. That's bass-ackwards. Good teams give up picks to make a run while bad teams dump players and stockpile picks. Not that the Kessel deal was horrible on its own, but it is the kind of thing where winning sooner becomes key and you end up going nowhere fast.
Keep those picks and draft your own Kessel.
The Leafs do both/neither in a half-assed sort of way. Kessel was great for them and will probably get better, but they take one step forward and two steps back. Now what do they have to build around him?
