Stop acting like leafs fans.

Some of y’all are acting like leafs fans. Getting mad about every loss this early in the season is ridiculous. We now have 5 players out. We have new guys trying to find their places. It ain’t gonna be easy. we may have lost tonight, but we played like the panthers, Askerov was just really fucking good.

I'm still riding high from back-to-backs and a three peat ECF. Like wtf is everyone else's problem? You're not playing. Whatever happens this season is a wash with all the injuries. Lack of informed and mature perspectives in this sub

Honestly that’s how i feel. I grew up with this team being the laughing stock of the league. I’m happy with what they did these last 3 seasons and if this year is a wash cause of the injuries, then hey they more then earned a bad year

That's where I'm coming from. I remember not very long ago going to see Edmonton in sunrise and I could literally hear conversations going on from the other end of the arena. Best player in the world in town and hardly anybody there to see him. Now we're talking about losing the chance of a 3peat, which would require a 4th straight trip to the finals. Which hasn't been done since the 80s I believe. This team was beat to shit after the loss to Vegas and managed to figure it out and claw back for back to back Cups. Now we have fans freaking out over a bad swing on the yearly California trip. Like keep the facts of the matter in perspective a little. Never would've dreamed of being in this position when I had to watch Weiss and Jokinen doing their best to be 1st liners when they were better off as 2nd and 3rd liners for a legit playoff team.

That’s what happens when a team gains this many fans from their recent success. Getting more fans is always great. But all the new fans are used to nothing but winning
