It’s funny, ‘the Leafs never play a full 60 minutes’ but the reality is that we’re 2nd in the league in regulation wins behind some team named the Blawkhawks?

Some fans just won’t be happy until the Leafs trade the players they don’t like no matter how the Leafs play.

The intangibles are certainly a factor. By that I mean that the teams seems less prone to giving up on games, or getting completely out of it after that second goal of a two goal lead against. I feel like that Ottawa game is exactly the type of game the Buds would have lost last week. Had Ottawa come back within one twice in multiple times in the third last year, I feel like they would have stopped playing and lost before OT.

I’m sure a part of that is coaching, but I have to credit it equally to a team with an extra year of maturity and having more wins under their belt, expecially wins after guys like Reimer, Lupul, Frattin, and Gardner go down to injuries.

Either way, things are looking up, and my advise to people born in 1991, for example, is to enjoy it. It may last and it may come crashing, but for the time, we may as well enjoy watching out team collect a few Ws.

We’ll see tonight, I suppose.

If Montreal is considered a serious threat, I have to think the leafs are. Beyond having as better keeper, the Habs are in a somewhat similar position as the Leafs. Teams getting better, and with this weird short season, who knows what can happen.

So anyone who’s genuinely honest about the Leafs play wants them to lose?

Only immature children think that way.

I don’t think the Leafs have played well since that win against Florida…

Even the wins vs. New Jersey, Philly, NYR, and Ottawa were ugly.

They were outshot 41-27 without Spezza, arguably the best player in the league Karlsson, and their #1 goalie. Also, Coewen

Burke did lots of good here no doubt. However, as you and everyone else pointed out his biggest asset which is his fierce loyalty was also his biggest downfall. Wilson should never have made it out of season two let alone three, IMO. You can how many teams have him on the short list of coaching candidates, lol, oh wait they don’t….why? Bacuse the guy is a TOOL!!!!.

His legacy many will point to the Kessel deal. But that to me wasn’t the problem.

I think his biggest and unforgiveable fault is keeping Wilson.
