Leafs Could Really Use #16 Right Now

  1. I get being frustrated and I get being nostalgic, but look, The Leafs didn’t win back then either. Sometimes, a little perspective is needed.

  2. If anyone had even 10% of his hustle we would still be in the playoff race, they don’t make em like him anymore.

  3. No, we really need to keep losing. Rest Matthews, Knies or other top players if they have nagging injuries and let the young guys play. Get as low as possible in the standings.

    Fire Pelley, Treliving and Berube. NOW.

    Rinse off the stench of this season. Replenish what you can in the off season. Retool for next season or Rebuild from the ground up if necessary.

    Just please stop running it back season after season when it’s broken. This current collective clearly isn’t working

    Tucker was awesome, he’s intensity was infectious but he wouldn’t be able to turn the current iteration of this team around. Not even Mad Max either

  4. An over priced 3rd liner with a temper who tripped over the blue line at least twice a game?? I’m as nostalgic a leaf fan as the next guy, but let’s get Roberts back before Tucker

  5. Loved Tucker, but a healthy Knies is much better.

    Leafs could use much more than a healthy Knies 😁

    Now throw in a prime Mogilny, Gary Roberts and Robert Svehla and now we’re talking 😊

  6. Our recent closest Tucker was kadri and they shipped him out. One of the worst moves.

  7. Loved him. My favourite Leaf for that era, possibly in my top ten all timers.
    Complete lunatic, could score, and hit about ten grades above his weight, never backed down. That Kappinen hit vs Philly was a thing of beauty, taking on the entire Senators bench etc etc.
    Dude had the passion and the fury required.

  8. Well he’s about to turn 51 so I’m not sure that I’d expect too much out of him. Although he’s probably right around the average for this team’s speed.

  9. This is why they suck. They don’t need a #16 they need a #15, and a #13, and maybe an #89. Grit is s**t without the skill to back it up. Leafs are just old, slow, and bad, effort isn’t the issue.

  10. They don’t make ‘em like Darcy Tucker or Wendel Clark anymore…this team doesn’t have any grit at all…only one willing to fight or backup his teammates is Max Domi!

  11. Could really use #93 and number…21!

    Damn it’s been a long time since they’ve had an elite Damn. RIP Salming.
