1. I did this trick when I was in debt years ago, didn’t end well for me 😭

2. I mean, I appreciate the enthusiasm I guess.

3. Kniesy is one of the best young pieces we have, but you can’t beat math.

4. Yeah…I mean…you might want to have a peak there Matthew

5. “I don’t get paid to do math”

6. Bro look at the standings

7. I wish I was always this optimistic in life when things are going bad…

8. Precious, precious Kniesy.

9. “Haven’t really looked”. Well, maybe you should take it more seriously

10. Lol what

11. I have never looked at how much I gamble…. That’s how confident I am that I’ll get it back

12. He just needs to pretend that the rest of their games are in Amalie Arena.

13. I mean, is it possible that what he’s actually saying is that he has no confidence so there’s no point in checking?

14. Bless him.

15. sweet summer child

17. I haven’t looked either. I can’t bring myself to do it.

18. Better start lookin bub.

19. I mean…what’s he supposed to say?

20. maybe he should take just a little peek

21. Honestly. Confidence is what they need, if anyone watches the leafs of late they don’t look confident. Yes, blind confidence can also be dangerous but at this point we’ll take it. Knies has been amazing for us since coming into the league, he’s one player on this roster I haven’t doubted

22. When you make more than six sheets a year you don’t have to read anything, you get paid regardless so what’s the point

    What is with this fake confidence they always try to project? It’s obvious he knows and they spend more energy trying to throw off the media than actually win games

23. ROFL. About what I’d expect from the guy.

24. Lol… sure man…. Whatever works for yeah

25. I failed math too knies

26. Kniesy just do hockey. Kniesy not interested in silly numbers.

27. 

28. After last game of season:

    Leaf player, ” Well, that’s it. So what are you doing next week, Kniesy? Golf, going on vacation?”

    Knies,” Uh, the playoffs are starting. Who are we playing?’

    Leaf player,” We didn’t make the playoffs. Don’t you look at the standings?”

    Knies, ” No way! How did that happen?”

    Leaf player: ” ( Sigh ) We all contributed.”

29. This team needs to care more

    These “im not even paying attention to it” interview responses are cool when the teams competitive, but when youre getting shelled every game it really makes it look like maybe the guys should start paying some more attention to the standings and other teams

30. I guess if you close your eyes nothing bad can happen?

31. Maybe the team lacks urgency cause they’re so sheltered lol

32. Brick wasn’t much of a math guy in school

33. This quote is funny because it can be taken two ways lmfao

34. One of the worst parts of hockey is how disconnected their media training is from what the fans actually want to hear. It almost always feels very out of touch and borderline lying.

35. These guys care, it’s that the pieces available don’t slot in well, and the pieces injured would make a huge difference in the lineup.

    They had a great run and were streaky. Nothing says that cant happen again.

    My hopium is good today!
