Nous sommes définitivement au point où l’organisation doit dénoncer cela et essayer de montrer ses muscles en tant qu’équipe la plus génératrice de revenus de la ligue. Assez, c’est assez.

I hope we see multiple players challenge and fight Gudas when the leafs play the ducks on the 30th
How the fuck can you still ask this question after 9 years of proof that they won’t.
How many times do you need to see “they never stand up for each other” until you guys realize it’s a culture issue.
Wait until March 30th for you answer.
Habs fan coming in to say that this shit is so fucking enraging and I feel for you folks. I hope the Leafs dig up every Ogie Ogilthorpe-level knuckle-dragger they can find for March 30th. NHL/DOPS is a joke. And a bad one at that.
Do the players on the team even care about Mathews ? Is he shitty in the locker room ?
One year into the « Matthews era » the Leafs management should have begun building a physical puck moving D with a physical, angry supporting cast at forward. Management is the reason we are where we are with this uber soft weird fucking team!
No. Why do they keep writing about this? It’s not gonna happen man.
Bring the Rosehill-Orr-McLaren line out of retirement.
Saw a comment in another thread that made a good point. If you play with intent to injure, your suspension should be as long as the injury. I don’t mean like, you made a big hit, or you accidentally high stick someone and fuck their nose up, or even one of those freak accidents where you trip and your skate messes up someone’s wrist.
Making an illegal move with the intent to harm, you can’t play until they can play again.
Nothing will change until MLSE is no longer in the picture. It’s almost like guys come here and get neutered. Take Carlo for example, something like that happens in Boston and he’s probably all over it.
We saw Cowan in a fight last game, I wouldn’t be suprised if after a year or 2 he also simmers down cause there’s a call from up top
no they will not
I can almost guarantee that Domi will be the one to drop the gloves with Goudas.
What will be interesting is what happens after that. Will that settle the score or will there be multiple other fights throughout the game and bone crunching hits and perhaps other cheap shots.
I’d hope that the whole team comes ready to rumble if things go that way.
Who can you realistically bring up from the AHL who will drop the gloves? Genuine ask, I don’t watch the Marlies enough.
I see Blake Smith with 104 PIMs lol
Pezzetta would

duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, AM is our GOOSE.
I will personally eat all the ducks in Chinatown, the night before Anaheim is in town again. ~~Motherfucker~~ MIA (Gudas) would feel the devastation and detestation caused by me (*Jin243; The Ghost of Toronto*).
My callsign is actually *Hedgehog*, and I will babyrage if I get assigned nothing more than the, one and only, powerful yet modest, one and only, you know it, I am repeating myself again, none other than my favourite actors’ favourites, but the F-22 Raptor.
F35 Lightning II; overrated!? B-2 Spirit; I am a hog not a hawk!?
If the Leafs’ brass can’t be bothered to call out the dirty hit and extremely suspect rulings from DPS, why should we bother about the Leafs? Ditto the team itself who didn’t stand up for one of their own. If they don’t care, why should we? I think I’m done with this iteration of the team.
nucks fan checking in. this feels quite a bit like Naslund –> Moore –> Bertuzzi
difference being that Gudas is a National League player and won’t run away from fights all night
Hopefully the silver lining is we tank even harder and get that sweet sweet draft pick.
Problem is any time the Leafs do anything they get suspended. This team is soft af, but also somehow the MOST suspended team in the league since Parros took over the Department of Panther Safety.
Do anything TO a Maple Leafs player and you’ll get a slap on the wrist from George.
I want Knies to drop Gudas headfirst so hard he becomes the next VP of player safety.
The Leafs and their organization talk a lot about “the passion.” At this point, it’s a marketing slogan, not a truthful description of anyone in the organization. They clearly have none.
They’re the most *dispassionate* team in professional sports, and they demonstrate that every time they step on the ice.
I haven’t watched since the Olympic break. I’m out for the rest of the season. If they can’t care enough to show up, why should I?
Leafs play Anaheim again on 30th March, I guess we’ll see then what the players will do about it
There are flickers of the culture trying to change with certain players, Bunting, Gio, Spezza, Schenn, etc. Even the odd time of Rielly. But notice how nearly all of those are all players brought in and have left or retired. OEL and Laughton have the kinda team mentality but 1/2 of that is gone now too.
IMO it starts with the leaders of the team.
That’s not even a question worth asking. Everyone in the league knows the answer and so does every fan. Why do you think it happened in the first place?
The core is rotten. No one wants to admit that but we saw it on full display. Let’s be honest – if Tavares was on the ice for that hit he wouldn’t have done anything either.
Even when toronto cycles in new talent no matter what the line or where they came from something happens to them, they soften and lose their grit.
Feet to the fire, culture wise I think Matthews and Nylander are the biggest poison.
When Stolie called out the team, he was speaking directly to Nylander. It has to be pretty bad for a goalie to do that with media. Who knows what these guys are like behind the scenes but I suspect the celebrity of those two eclipses the team often and may impact their ability to gel.
This team is as gutless as they come. And there is ZERO camaraderie. Someone close to me is friends with the Laughton family and told me how utterly shocked Scott was when he came to Toronto because nobody did anything together as a team. In Philly, they’d go out for dinners together and do all kinds of things as a team. He said there were a couple guys on the leafs that spent time off the ice together but that was it. Nobody wants to go to war for each other and that made so much sense to me.
