Can someone explain to me why this is good sportsmanship and doesn’t deserve a cross check to the head during his celly? How is this any better than Grieg shooting a puck into an empty net?
@tddt_5115
I’m pretty sure in that scenario, Hart could file a grievance with the union or sue the flyers/league. You can’t just suspend someone with a guaranteed contract because they might be accused of a crime. It’ll be very interesting to see what happens next with charges formally laid
I would like to thank every single leafs fan in this thread for their input. If I ever need proof of how fragile and full of crybabies your fan base is, now I have this thread as proof. Thank you all.
@BestOfZay
So would the Leafs playoff opponents ;)
Who needs defense right? Scoring their way out of trouble has worked so well in the playoffs the last 7 years.
@MogilnysVisor89
@MinorMidgetGTHL
If the stats were completely reversed, you’d be saying the exact opposite and you know it, lmao.
Just enjoy your generational goal scorer.
@AnnaSova17
An excellent thread. Well done. I would love to vote for fiscal conservatism, but I can never support their hateful exclusionary rhetoric their base openly shares with heavily implied and executed support from the party itself.
@BestOfZay
So it's been that their $40 million top 4 forwards disappear? No money left for goaltending because no one took a team friendly deal to build around? Too much pressure on the market?
@DamoSpin
The media bias towards the leafs has truly hit a new low with this story. Grieg did a little slow boating, Rielly assaulted him during a goal celebration with 5 seconds left with a head shot. This would be black and white, cut and dry if Rielly played for any other team.
I can see why
#LeafsForever
fans like to invade Ottawa’s building. That was fun tonight getting some revenge for a lifetime of leafs fans invading our house.

@tmlfaninvan
I’d be embarrassed to be a leafs fan.
Fewest post first round playoff game wins among all 32 teams in the 20 year salary cap era.
So much unearned hardcore loyalty among the fanbase. This franchise doesn’t deserve it.
@RadioBaloney
I wonder how many of that %81 would still rather have Trudeau in power instead of bringing in Poilievre if those are the only two options. The two numbers are likely not remotely close.
@BringBackLee
The only “code” with empty netters is leaf fans being salty that they lost the game to a last place team and are deflecting that emotion into supporting cross checks to the head after the play instead of accepting a loss like a normal person would.
@jackrichrdson
@DarrenDreger
Even if Travis Green has improved as a coach, the priority this season should have been to inspire confidence and excitement this off season, especially with how long they took to hire. What part of hiring a coach with 141 wins in 335 games accomplishes that?
@MarcMethot3
@BarDown
What was extra incredible is when the TSN cameras picked up the photo I got with Pierre Dorion at the end of the game, and then showed that clip all season long when the talking heads were discussing a move or anything to do with Pierre. My phone would blow up every time.
@tavmarnythews
Watching Leaf fans convince themselves that a goalie who won 5 of 20 games and hasn't had a good season in 4 years for both good and bad teams is hysterical to me. He gets hurt anytime he puts together a decent stretch, lets in deflating weak goals all the time. Enjoy!
Hey
@SensCentral
, I was listening to your Tarasenko episode, and you started talking about how SOME listener is doing Toronto to Ottawa drive. T'was me. Heard you mention Ottawa pop sign and the CTC as I was hitting Renfrew. nailed it. Thanks for the laugh on a long drive.
@sensfan9116
@kudrinko97
Fine, compare to what Pettersson, Dahlin, Svechnikov, and even Batherson got then. $8.5 is a disgusting overpayment. Just bridge him and make him actually earn that amount.
@MarcMethot3
We're one game away from saying that the Leafs have not won a single game past the first round of the playoffs in 20 years. Come on Florida! We're counting on you!
@stewonstroke
From the fan base that brought you “rent free” as an all purpose retort, comes continuous whining about empty net goals and Radko Gudas playoff winning celebrations.
@Nealerrr
So many fond memories in that time. From “it was 3-1” to “we want Florida” you can always count on the leafs for legendary early post season entertainment.
It’s almost as if leaf fans don’t hold their own players to some mysterious standard of “the code”. Maybe if they just admit they like seeing a rival get cross checked in the head because they lost…

@TOSportsAdam
And when I do, I'm told Leafs live rent free despite the fact that I live in Toronto. See how stupid that 'rent free' comment sounds?
Also, if you're trying to make Sandy look bad, don't share a video of him shaking off two attackers and then getting the puck out of his zone.

A trivia question for you:
How many teams in the NHL have won more second round playoff games than the leafs in the salary cap era?
A: All 31 of them. Even Arizona, Buffalo, Ottawa and Seattle. Look it up, I’ll wait.
Seems like your team has the market cornered there
@TheOakLeafs
1993 - get Dave Andreychuk off this team
1997 - get Larry Murphy off this team
2009 - Get Alex steen off this team
2013 - get kessel off this team
2018 - get kadri off this team
2021 - get Hyman off this team

Watching
#Leaf
fans spend all summer talking themselves into
#MattMurray
as their starter just to panic after one (but I assure you, not his last) sub par game is a wonderful way to kick off the new NHL season.
@SensFanNL
The other teams fired good coaches who have had success in the past. We fired a bad coach who prioritized being a friend and one of the guys instead of strategy and accountability. Martin is starting from much further back.
@Jenna_TMLFan84
I agree! Matthews acting like a showboat has been showing up on everyone’s feed since 2016, and no one has ever head shotted him during one. It’s been a lot longer than 4 days of that.
@TOSportsAdam
I have a trivia question. How many teams have won more second round playoff games in the salary cap era than the Leafs?
A: All of them. All 31.
Matthews has been on the Leafs for 7 of those years. What's going to be different this time?
@moxx1981
The guy did a little showboating, now leaf fans support cross checks to the head and knee on knee hits. You’d be crying in your corn flakes if a leafs player was taking this kind of abuse.
@R3vampDev
Ottawa has a great arena. Comfy seats, wide concourse, quality audio, reasonably priced concessions, excellent sight lines. Is the location that sucks.

Take my mom out for Lunch, stop by a dispensary, see a movie at the theatre, Take my GF out for a nice dinner, hit up the pub with my buddies. You really miss the little things and social contacts.

Plane.
A no nonsense, mid budget, 90s style throwback action thriller for adults. Just the right balance of silly and serious. A very pleasant surprise.
@SensCentral
@Sportsnet
Leafs have won every game since mean ol Ridly shot a puck into an empty net too hard, Matthews is running away with the goal scoring lead, and leaf fans are still stuck on Ridly more than a week later. It’s hilarious how fragile the leafs fanbase is.
@HeyStripesVideo
It’s truly amazing how there’s an excuse for everything when the leafs do it, but these fragile fans can’t take it when it happens to them.
@studydynastyFF
@BestOfZay
Avs and caps aren't shoved down my throat like the Leafs are. Also, both those guys have won a cup.
Also, for their salaries, almost a PPG and one series win in five years isn't good enough.
@walsha
I missed the part in the clip skinner hit an unsuspecting and vulnerable player who wasn’t involved after the play was blown dead and was waving for medical attention for his opponent.
@WatchMyReview
I have a trivia question for you. Can you name all the teams that have won more second round playoff games than the Leafs in the salary cap era?
*Bzzt Time's up*
A: All of them. All 31. Even Buffalo, Arizona, and expansion Seattle in their 3rd season.
Your flex is hilarious.
@LalimesMartian
I know that Travis green has 141 wins in 335 games coached. That’s roughly DJ’s record and far far faaaaaaaar from “best in class.”
Please no.

Trolling a Sens fan jersey tweet by a stranger, but sure, I’m the pathetic one.
Do I know you? Why are you even here? I didn’t ask your opinion. Look in the mirror homie, and find better things to do with your time.
@Nealerrr
Was the crowd of 65 percent leaf fans not mocking the Sens in their own building all night? Mocking the crowd is good sportsmanship?
If you move the goal posts any further they’ll end up in Saskatchewan.

@CTVNews
From the article:
“Johnstone says their message is crucial now because "far-right groups and cynical politicians" have spread misinformation about the LGBTQ2S+ community to "fuel anger and division.”
Like countless tweets on this platform.
@MarcMethot3
@alihockey10
I must agree. I fully support their right to exist, live, have rights, identify how they wish and pursue happiness. That didn’t give them to right to take over someone else’s space.
@FriedgeHNIC
Sens Pick up Brown from Philly before the deadline. It's not a Sens team without a Brown on the roster.
In terms of Sens Brown Hierarchy, I think this Brown will be better than Brown, the other Brown, but probably not as good as Brown.
Probably the most fun I’ve ever had at a Sens loss, solely due to the great company.
@lynchonsports
Picked up a new Luongo jersey (Love the retirement patch!) at the game, but kept the Sens jersey on until we left the arena, and then had to honor our bet.

They're talking about important stuff and great initiatives. However, he doesn't need to own the Sens in order to execute that vision.
@BlkCrownAuthor
Imagine watching Starship Troopers and thinking “what a utopia, this isn’t a satire on facism at all!” Maybe the original tweet was satirical, but the comments… yikes.
@joeyferg
I'm sure you'd call out Matthews if he did the exact same thing yes? Don't be mad that your team has lost twice to the 27th place team this season. :)
HOFer of ugly jerseys. The Senagoth logo gets funnier the longer you look at it. gold laurels beat Vegas at their own game nearly 20 yrs earlier for (hopefully) self aware gaudiness. shoulder patches add class. era where all black on the ice was intimidating instead of overdone.
