Was reading on Twitter something about a Team Tank Crew.

Isn't that like hoping for a new Redd Foxx revival series? It is not gonna happen. It's dead.

We should've kept the Isles pick and traded ours.

Coaches aren't actually apart of a tank are they? I thought they always did their best and its the GM who does any kind of tank. Coaches just know if their team is good or not.

I don't think you're here to talk hockey if you're suggesting either the playoffs or a top 5 pick.

It seems like soft trolling since they don't really ever accomplish either one.

I guess I should clarify my point. That i would bet tocchet wasn't trying to tank when hired. Especially once they traded for Hronek and decided to "retool" and not rebuild.

Ah so playoffs or middling pick next year answers my questions from earlier then. Well, wild card is likely within reach and 3rd in the division might be but I think it'll be a dog fight.

The amount of time the leafs live in other fans heads rent free is amazing. I could buy up the GTA real estate with those kind of savings.

It's in the code of conduct that everyone is welcome. That's the rules of the site. The problem is, people low key troll and that's not welcome. I had to delete such a post earlier in this blog talking poop about the canucks.

- Aaron_85

Usually more Leafs jerserys in the Stands when TO is in VAN. It's a thing.

I think Beauvillier has played pretty well for a guy I considered a cap dump in the original trade. Whoever pro scouted him did a good job.

Plus they are currently beating one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now.

- Aaron_85

It's weird we are getting team chemistry with Horvat gone. Might say something? Maybe Don could comment lol

Beaulivier has been fine.

Just had to get rid of Horvat, Boudreau and add Tocchet. They should challenge for the coveted Presidents Trophy next season.
- LeftCoaster

Full season under Tocchet?

Good night for betting the underdogs.
- VANTEL

I had a good pick 4 layed out but good thing I didn't bet. Had Van, NYR, CAR and CGY all to win in regulation and the Flames lose in OT to ARZ...

Markstrom>Tanev>Stecher.

Poor KY.

Usually it's the GM's that manipulate rosters but a good example of a coach that was 'in on it' was the coach of the Leafs when they tanked for Matthews.
