MLSE President Keith Pelley: “We definitely didn’t see the train coming which was the Buffalo Sabres and the Montreal Canadiens, and how strong those two teams are…Buffalo and Montreal have shown that they’re young, energetic teams who are gonna be here for a long time.”

  1. Rebuild Toronto…. You have no shot for the next decade.
    Trade Matthews to an American team for 2 first rounders, and 2 top prospects.

    * I can be Toronto’s GM today. 300,000 a year and I’ll take the job

  2. They could have won every game against the Habs and Sabres and they’d **still** be outside the wildcard slots

  3. See nobody could have predicted that other teams in the NHL would sometimes be good, so there’s really no need to say that all the people who put Treliving in charge should all be fired for incompetence. This was an entirely unforeseeable outcome. We’re only bad because buffalo played good hockey for 3 months.

    Also, as the sun has come up again today, which I did not predict, I am declaring force mejure on my credit card balance and refusing to pay it.

  4. Toronto was never a contender because they played a soft and skill oriented game.

    The physical game, goalies and defense were average at best any given year.

    That won’t do it in the playoffs.

  5. “We couldn’t figure out how to win so we’re just going to blame two other teams instead.”

    Anyone with half a brain saw this shit show coming 3 years ago.
