Tank Nation UNITE!!!

Groot?

 

[AvroArrow]

Part of me is wondering what the hell the past five years were if not a rebuild?

A complete and utter failure?

mirtle: Leafs started the 1990-91 season with a 4-21-1 record. This is their worst sustained stretch of hockey since then, record wise.

I honestly didn't believe we'd see such a spectacular collapse from this team. I really thought it was going to be more of a gradual thing didn't really bottom out until mid/late February. I felt this road heavy stretch could be a killer, but, I'm honestly surprised it's been this definitive.

I never expected the offense to struggle so badly, especially when you watched the games and they were still getting chances.  Not like they were having 13 shots a game and getting no zone time or something.

EDIT:  What's actually amazing about this - not a single OT/SO loss.

You guys are acting as if you are surprised at the fact that this team is garbage.

Its the FOURTH year in a row with this team.  At some point, you have to admit that this team is what it is and that significant additions/deletions are needed.

Last years collapse coincided with a western road trip too. They picked up wins in the first 2 games and slip from there.

 

[Highlander]

Solution: no more road trips west of the Mississippi.

I'm blaming the deflated puck analogy

I don't know, deflated balls might work for this group too.

I can't believe this thread doesn't have 50 pages already.  You guys are slackers.

We're not HFBoards. We actually try to limit the useless posts.

 

[Highlander]

Ok delated pucks, deflated balls, and no trips west of Nashville. Got it.

I guess everyone's joined Dion on the beach at Cancun.  Well, TANK NATION NEVER SLEEPS.

If you're looking to kill time prior to the draft, try out the draft simulator.  The Leafs won the top pick on my second try!  http://nhllotterysimulator.com/#/

Let's call it good and just skip the real thing.

McDavid is very special player, wonder what would happen if Toronto did win the draft lottery? How would city react?

They'd trade him for Ben Scrivens

It would be the best thing that happened to the Leafs since they won the cup, or maybe ever. It has the potential to turn the team around in short order.

I have to think Shanahan and the front office see this.

 

[Redleaf]

If the Leafs somehow managed to get McDavid, he'd probably turn out to be a dissapointment. A half century of failure would be hoisted upon his shoulders and who can really live up to all the hype and expectation that would be placed on him if he came to Toronto?

Of course, I hope they get him and I'm proven wrong, but man...that would be an awful lot of pressure for a kid who just wants to play hockey.

Would Crosby have failed here, Stamoks? Tavares?
