So they’re tanking on purpose to get Babs fired, right?

Mer on Twitter

““Mama, are there girls in hockey?” - Amelia, 3. So where‘s #womenshockey twitter to show her that there most definitely are? #hockey @NWHL

I tweeted about my three year old asking if girls play hockey. And the response has been AMAZING. Women are incredible.

I know the game hasn’t started yet but I’m already mad at the leafs for losing

↳ toronto maple leafs: 09.24.2019 | “what’s been the biggest adjustment for you coming to a new team?”

steve dangle had a real good point when he pointed out that there’s no real player vs player beef left on the leafs. like, yeah, sure there’s the rivalries but where’s the excitement of knowing a player is absolutely gonna get into it with a specific player from an opposing team? someone start something right now

[thepassionthatunitesusall]

The highlight of TOR-BUF games was seeing what Kadri and Ristolainen were going to do to each other (then again feels like Kadri had beef with a player on every team 😂 love u Naz).

I feel like Muzzin is going to start something with someone. He plays a physical game, and that's usually when other players start to dislike you

[codyglass-archived]

i’m gonna miss naz v everyone

honestly, yeah, i can see it with muzz

[meroutloud]

If harpur makes the roster I could see him being one of the fighters and getting a bit of a rep. Honestly. I think we need one or two of those.

someone just referred to jordie benn as jordan and honestly just realized that’s his actual name.. as if someone names their child jordie but my brain never thought twice about the fact his name isn’t actually jordie. i’m having an existential crisis. 

[jakeoettinger]

holy shit i KNOW his first name is Phillip. that is NOT what this post is about. Jordie isn’t a fucking nickname for Phillip. Consider: i did not realize jordie was short for JORDAN not fucking phillip.

[meroutloud]

I also just had to stop and be like...jordan.jordie.jordanjordie jordie jordan.

his first name could be icabod and i’d still be like

jordiejordanjordiejordan jordan benn ?!?!?!?!???!?

What does Willy know that the rest of us don’t?

Tyson is part of the Leafs core now and I don’t know what to do with my feelings. 

[codyglass-archived]

idk man i’m still kinda annoyed that it took all summer for this contract and all the stuff we had to hear but yesterday watching mitch be so happy on the ice and watching the way the rest of the leafs were around him and the fact that he ignored security to sign whatever he could really made me think that he does want to be here

[meroutloud]

Hope I’m not hijacking...

I feel the same. Except then he tells the press that he didn’t entertain offer sheets and “really pushed” Kyle to get a deal done last week and I’m like “then....why did it take all summer? Why did you turn down some of the other really reasonable offers the Leafs made? Why was this a fight over a few hundred thousand when we’re talking multi millions?” 

I am HAPPY he’s a Leaf and I think he’s a good person, but I think he let his agent (and possible dad) control this process way too much. 

[meroutloud]

!!!!!!!!

[codyglass-archived]

Wait that’s a C? What if it ends up not being a C

can i please just enjoy this for the time being

[meroutloud]

Even if it turns out that this particular image isn’t a C (it really looks like a C) the reality is it is very, very, very likely Auston is getting a C on there before the regular season starts

And since people love to question Kait on this - I don’t even think he’s the best candidate (MY opinion). I still think he’s gonna get it.

Congrats to John Tavares and his wife on the birth of their baby boy.

Did Kyle not talk with the media today and has he mentioned in these past few weeks like who he sees as Captain or who he is like comfortable with etc? But did he speak with media today unless did I pass by it?

i don’t think he did! there’s just been a lot of chatter from the leafs as well as media members about it, there’s a sense that they seem to be getting close to a decision if one hasn’t already been made!

[meroutloud]

Kyle did speak with media. or at least with Bob McKenzie. He addressed the captaincy by acknowledging that he knows fans and the media are invested, he thinks they have multiple great potential captains, and they’ll do it when the time is right. All very vague. 

[codyglass-archived]

yes! i knew he had spoke with them recently but i couldn’t quite remember. he definitely addressed it with bob mckenzie but, in typical leafs fashion, it was very vague and non-commital. thanks!
