@the_habitant At least he's not French.

With a 3 point game last night, Nick Suzuki now has 2 career playoff runs with at least 12 points Auston Matthews has 0 😭💀

@ryanwhitney6 Let's be honest, his current success doesn't erase what he didn't do in Toronto.

Conn Smythe Mitch Marner hahahaha Toronto never change

@islanders_takes Did you even watch a single Leaf playoff game or are you still grieving over Tavres leaving?

Here's why I don't take it personally that Leafs fans are acting like absolute mutants over Marner. The TOR organization was handed one of the most talented cores in modern NHL history and failed to put a team together around it. They scapegoated coaches, GMs, and finally their own players to hide it. They used the fan's frustrations as much as they could, often using media heads to spread talking points, in order to keep the attention anywhere but on the ownership and decision making of the franchise. Marner became a scapegoat. Berube just became a scapegoat. Matthews is becoming a scapegoat. This will go on and on and on. Marner's success with the VGK has less to do with the level of competition he's facing and more to do with the fact he's got a better team, overall, around him. He doesn't have to carry so much. And that's allowing him to excel. That's not a knock on Marner. Every single star in the game does better when they can trust their teammates to actually contribute. Every Leaf fan slurring their words and slobbering over how Marner was a pussy and a problem in TOR is doing so because they've been conditioned to be that way by an ownership group that's become absolutely elite at avoiding accountability for their boneheaded decision making with the franchise.

@SensMoggerr I will leave this here

Leafs fans really made the leading playoff scorer leave their team. Worst fan base in the league?

@MapleLeaves34 Horrible idea. He is clearly not built for hockey markets.

Call me crazy, get Vancouver to eat $2M of Elias Pettersson's contract, and they take Morgan Rielly, bring EP40 to Toronto! There's no other 2C we are acquiring. No assets to trade for one and none in the free agency market. Maybe Mats Sundin can help unlock the potential 🇸🇪

@ImtiazMadmood @CNToWest Great, so how do you plan on reestablishing your strategic positioning in Europe? And what are you going to do if China becomes aggressive after you lost your most powerful military alliance? What a massive strategic blunder. All because an ignorant old asshole got offended.

Rubio just announced the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Europe. Every year, 100,000 U.S. troops and $60 billion are spent defending Europe, yet zero aid on the Hormuz issue—it's time to bring our troops home. NATO's dissolution is a done deal - @CNToWest

@_JordanDecker Agreed!

Man. If your overpaid, injury-prone, heartless captain is giving you an ultimatum like “you got until July to convince me to stay”, pack his fucking bags for him. You want a captain who bleeds for your team. Not a primadonna who needs to be convinced to

@NHLRumourReport A team should never have to convince anybody to come back, especially their captain. If he does come back, he should be stripped of his captaincy.

Elliotte Friedman: I believe Matthews is going to ask the Leafs to sit down...what is your plan; how are you actually going to execute the plan; if they can do that...I think everything works out; if he's not actually convinced...that's where the problem is - 32 Thoughts (5/6)

@LeafsEast Although I agree with you, I'm having a hard time finding a team with a projected 1C or a top pair dman they would be willing to trade. Misa perhaps, but it's not clear if he's a center or not.

I’m not worried about Auston staying in Toronto, I’m more worried about him infecting Mckenna with his mentality. I’m on board with a rebuild but it’s terrifying thinking about Chayka trying to make those trades in a short time frame. However it’s a massive opportunity to gut out the culture problem the Leafs have. If they can turn Matthews, Nylander and a goalie into 5 or 6 high end prospects to go with Knies, Cowan and Danford they should do it. Return would have to include at least 1 projected top 6 center and at least 1 projected top pair D man +++

@islanders_takes "When games mattered the most." Who's the mutant?

@fin_target82 Marner is a PPG playoff performer, with the 4th highest PPG in playoffs All-Time for the Leafs. He also has 31 hits in 13 Playoff Games, good for 5th highest on your roster during that time. You're an absolute mutant for blaming him.

Hilarious that Mitch Marner is proving outright that he was never the problem in Toronto in real time.

@islanders_takes @Vxril_7 You need to work on your reading comprehension before calling us mutants. "Games that mattered the most."

@Vxril_7 @fin_target82 He's the 4th highest PPG in the Playoffs of all Maple Leafs, All-Time. Had 31 hits, HITS, in 13 Playoff games. You are all absolute mutants and can never admit you were wrong about anyone. It's hilarious.

@islanders_takes Austin, Tavres, and Nylander all out performed Marner in games 4,5,6.

@fin_target82 Name 3 players with his postseason experience on TOR, during those runs, that produced more.

@Alex_Oloyede2 Then to compensate for their good gesture, bombed innocent Ukrainian civilians.

🇷🇺 The Russian Army dropped a flower at the Ukrainian controlled WW2 memorial in Kherson.

@BigHeadLeafs_ Not a single Leafs fan thought he was the ONLY problem. However, he demanded a huge paycheque which made it difficult to build around the core, and then failed to deliver in every big game. Instead of taking responsibly, he blamed the fans. That's on him, not them.

Can we finally say Mitch Marner wasn’t the problem as he’s now leading the league in points this playoffs. Whoever thought he was the problem was flat out wrong.

@OverDrive1050 It's too late to ask Austin if his head is in it. It clearly isn't. Go down there, look him in the eye and ask for a list of teams.

"There has been communication from both sides." Darren Dreger on Auston Matthews' camp staying in contact with the Maple Leafs ahead of the meeting with John Chayka #LeafsForever

@EricDeSilvestr1 Becuase he behaves like one

Ne jamais oublier que le siège de Leningrad fut un véritable génocide commis par l'armée allemande. 1 million de civils sont morts pendant le siège de Leningrad (septembre 1941 – janvier 1944), principalement de famine. Vladimir Poutine rend hommage à son frère ainé Viktor, en déposant des fleurs sur sa tombe. Viktor mourut pendant le siège de Leningrad. Comment cet homme pourrait il être nazi, comme le prétendent certains propagandistes?

@MaiettaSports Not a single Leafs fan thinks 1st overall will solve our problems. Not one.

Leafs fans think the 1st pick will solve their problems: Matthews: $13.25 mill AAV (until 2028) Suzuki: $7.875 mill AAV (until 2030) Nylander: $11.5 mill AAV (until 2032) Caufield: $7.850 mill AAV (until 2031) Knies: $7.750 mill AAV (until 2031) Slafkovský: $7.6 mill AAV (until 2033) Rielly: $7.5 milll AAV (until 2030) Hutson: $8.850 mill AAV (starts next season/until 2034) Leafs have a management problem…

@ExtendNylander Back when Austin actually cared.

Gavin McKenna’s NHL debut

@MikeGrinnell_ The least deserving team to ever win the lottery was the Oilers when they got McDavid. Nothing will ever come close to that, EVER.

I cant believe the Leafs won the lottery. I barely slept. What a sham. Never seen a team deserve it less.
