the big K

@LeftCoastLeafs All teams have holes but JT is fine; dude is clockwork consistent - he just potted 31. Play him with Nylander & Cowan and they’ll produce - give up a lot, but score a lot too. Bigger issues on the back end to address

Let's assume 34 stays and the Leafs take McKenna. Take a run at Raddysh as a UFA. There's still a massive hole at 2C. It can't be stated strongly enough JT is not the answer if they want to turn this around quickly. Any ideas to address this?

@JeffVeillette Who knows 🤷🏻, too early to comment - gotta give Chayka time; we’ll see how the presser goes. I like Sundin being involved - one of the greatest leafs ever and a class act. But need clarity on the structure; what exactly is Mats’ role and how involved will Pelley be?

Now that it’s official: What’s everyone’s first impression reaction here? Don’t worry about being right or wrong later, just what you’re feeling in the moment.

@StugatzInOtown @Nealerrr

@Nealerrr The Laffs taking shots at non performance in the thr playoffs is peak irony. Oooffff. Even the sad sacked Sens have made it to a couple of conference finals and the Stanley Cup final in the colour TV era.

They call him 007: 0 goals 0 assists 7 PIM's per game

@shayo_samw World class (when healthy), that treble season - he was incredible. Only thing that held him back was injuries

John Stones set to leave this summer… where do you rank him, City fans? A — GOAT B — WORLD-CLASS C— EXCELLENT D— GOOD E— DECENT F— AVERAGE G — OVERRATED

@Cityzen_Jnr All of them, only Kante & Cassemiro deserve to be at that table in the first place

Who should stand up for RODRI to sit down? Don't be bias

@Footballtweet Bernardo is class, but El Mago is the best City player ever (along with KdB)

🇵🇹 Bernardo Silva or David Silva 🇪🇸 Who will leave the greatest legacy at Manchester City?

@Joshua_MCI No true Man City fan would leave out El Mago; David Silva, KdB & Sergio are no brainers - #4 up for debate. Kompany, Ferna & YaYa all worthy

City fans, I think we can all agree on this right?

@TOSportsAdam Everything is always about the Leafs; and it’s muppets like this that keep it that way - rentfree

Was it too difficult to just write Easton Cowan?

@_abochie Gerrard, so over rated

Without being bais, who should stand for Kevin De Bruyne to sit?

@nascarfanbw23 @MathNeron @DrakeMT 👌

@MathNeron @Kenster34 @DrakeMT It’s not a major when someone turns their back last minute like an idiot

That's a bad hit, definitely a penalty. There's no earthly way you can call this a major and be taken seriously as a league with the other shit that gets let go with less or nothing.

@thegoldenmuzzy #rentfree

Today is yet another prime example of the entire hockey world’s obsession with the Toronto Maple Leafs. It just doesn't stop.

@AK50_5 Stfu. The Leafs seem to be the centre of attention for everyone, all the time. Even rival misfit fans feel they have to chime in. We truly run this league

Leafs are just embarrassing themselves. The guy is crippled he answered the bell multiple times and is getting cheap shotted at every turn, they had their chance during the last game and NOBODY took it. The first fight fine, but after is just embarrassing.

@tom_canadien @LepageConnor What a champ - another obsessed non Leaf fan

@LepageConnor Nope, could care less about the Leafs. Just enjoy the Leaf fans and media eat their team alive after over hyping their team’s abilities every year.

The Leafs will conduct a formal GM search. Hugely important off-season for the Leafs, to say the least. Getting going on GM search asap deemed important rather than wait another two-plus weeks for regular season to end before making the GM change. Treliving had one more year on his contract next season.

@lukestanley03 Will go down as an absolute club legend, not sure he gets a statue but he’s right on the bubble. Similar to Gundogan & Ferna imo; Stones too, he was just hobbled by the injuries

I think we all knew that Bernardo news was coming, but still very painful.

Name one album that’s perfect from start to finish. No skips. No filler. Just pure greatness...🎶🎸

@SNKenReid How disingenuous, be better; Leafs crowd (overwhelmingly) gave him polite applause. The right response given the situation.

Matthews just got booed at home during the Olympic shoutout. #wow #Leafs

@Wtf_kobby I will always back el Mago, but this list seems right. Bernardo will replace YaYa (for me) whenever he leaves

@CannonOfArsenal @TottenhamTiers @FA_PGMOL The EPL & PGMOL continue to remain a total joke. Exact same plays in back to back weeks, one given and one not. Both benefit Assenal but they’ll bottle it none the less

@TottenhamTiers @FA_PGMOL Like you all cried last week "it's never a foul" now all of a sudden you want it as a foul ? 😂😂😂😂

Absolutely comical consistency as ever from the @FA_PGMOL. I suppose if his name was Gabriel Magalhães and he played in red this would be given as a foul?

@gerrydee Come on Gerry, 🇨🇦 carried the play for majority of game and vastly outplayed the 🇺🇸 . Just couldn’t capitalize on the many chances created, including empty netter from 3 feet. Nothing to do with team construction; congrats to the US, but canada wins that game 90+% of the time.

If this doesn’t tell NHL GM’s to build your team around defensemen and goalies, I don’t know what does.
