Basically exactly the type of attitude the Leafs need

1. ya but that might make ’em uncomfortable, ‘Tone

   edit: RIP r/CirclejerkSopranos — just a kid, sad when they go young like that

2. Never gunna happen unfortunately but this is what we need

3. Yeah I have a feeling none of them get in each other’s faces about anything

4. I will never not cringe at the “tHiS tEaM nEeDs tO bE mEaNeR tHeY’rE nOt mEaN eNoUgH”.

   As if being mean would’ve magically made 6 more pucks go past Bobrovsky last season.

   As if we don’t have one of the highest hit counts in the league.

5. Stolie was giving this vibe Saturday.

6. Btw this is a 41 year old free agent signing. Leafs have tried this.

7. I don’t speak baseball. Can anyone provide context?

8. We had this in 2019, and the league threw the book at him

9. It’s been 5 out of 82 games. Fucking chill.

10. LOL Mitch Marner was yelling at his team like this and everyone called him a baby…..

11. He kind of looks like Tavares.

12. this would be called toxic in the leafs dressing room, they wouldnt have it.

13. Maybe if we paid our star players MLB money they’d care more about winning?

14. If anybody hasn’t figured it out already the core guys on this club are who they are and nothing will change them.

15. MLSE will never allow it, bad for the anti-controversy image that they feel the need to uphold. Goes with the organizational “walk it back” motto.

    Bench a player? Better coddle him in the media before anybody thinks there’s an issue. Say something remotely critical of a teammate? Better get out there and go out of your way to downplay it the next day. Player says something with even a modicum of personality? Better media train that right out of them.

16. Unfortunately this just isn’t in their DNA. After 8 years, this is just who the leafs are.

17. The Blue Jays, and the 2019 Raptors, were extremely likeable. The stadiums are/were loud, absolutely rocking. So far, we just don’t have much of that. However you can see bits of it coming, and it starts with the organization. I don’t think it is a coincidence that the MLSE president talked about how they need to change their relationship with the fans and suddenly the players speak out a bit more. Knies saying he loves being here, Stolarz getting angry and calling the team out. It ain’t that hard. Just show some fucking passion and we eat it up.

18. This is essentially Tavaras, or will be LOL

19. The Jays are the anti Leafs, and that’s a core reason for their success this season…

    Jays have dawgs up and down the lineup that do the little things to win. Even their star player (Vladdy) has insane instincts / IQ and will do anything to help the team squeeze a win. Also: star player actually showing up and dominating in the playoffs.

20. 👍👌👏

21. Chill it’s too early for this for real

22. They don’t have it in them. They won’t with this core. They had the Core 4, and they never made it to the Conference Finals once. They crumbled like a deck of cards at the first sign of adversity.

    Thankfully, the blue jays are the complete opposite. Clutch, never say die attitude, and they thrive under the spotlight. I hope they win it all.
