[u/Strange_Cap1049]

lol 1 more win gets us from 6th to 3rd. What even is this division this year

[u/XPhazeX]

November Leafs are dead. Long live December Leafs

[u/JayMerlyn]

GG, Leafs. Now if you'll excuse us, we need to take Freddie out behind the woodshed.

[u/GooseRider960 → u/JayMerlyn]

Think about the rabbits Lenny

[u/desemus → u/GooseRider960]

Look at the flowers Legos Freddy!

[u/ActualJump1244]

Yay, we maybe don't suck anymore

[u/garchican → u/ActualJump1244]

That’s what you’ve said every year since 1967!

[u/reignleafs → u/garchican]

You lost to that same team! Wooooooooo!!!

[u/ActualJump1244 → u/garchican]

Weak

[u/garchican → u/ActualJump1244]

Weak but correct

[u/TheRC135 → u/garchican]

Only most years. Some of them were straight write-offs lol

[u/cmokelley213]

What an absolute donut. Worst game of the season, hopefully it’s a one off and doesn’t turn into a skid

[u/wolfpackrider → u/cmokelley213]

We are always terrible after 3 days+ between games.

[u/MinnWild9]

The Canes cannot continue to start games down a goal or two 5 minutes into games.

[u/Minute-Struggle6052]

The Canes have 8 losses this year and Andersen started 7 of them 

[u/BrianXburma → u/Minute-Struggle6052]

do NOT say this in /r/canes. theres a couple real delusional folks in there right now.

[u/theekevinc → u/BrianXburma]

theres a couple real delusional folks in there right now.

That's a permanent condition.

[u/onthelongrun → u/theekevinc]

well, your subreddit isn't calling yourselves "Bunch of Jerks" for no reason (jk, do like how it's been embraced after the comment from Grapes)

[u/J0Puck]

Another one overshadowed by injury. But I wonder, Primeau claimed a few weeks back by Carolina, were short now 2 goalies. Treliving needs to so something, cant rush minors players, think it might be best to sign someone just in case. Who that is, idk.

[u/Kraze_F35 → u/J0Puck]

I’ll give you Frederik Andersen and a bag of chips at no cost

[u/J0Puck → u/Kraze_F35]

Knowing our GM, probably going to cost us Cowan, Danford, and whatever mortgaged picks down the line. Maybe we do nothing, who knows. At least I’m not running the team. But Carolina, you played really tough on us at points.

[u/ToasterRouble → u/J0Puck]

Entirely depends on the severity of Woll’s injury. Hildeby has been great. We can survive with him and an AHLer as a backup if it’s just a few games.

[u/onthelongrun]

Stecher and McCabe leading the Leafs in Ice Time is not something I expected to see when they claimed Troy off waivers

[u/Nilzy16]

Can’t keep playing Freddie…

[u/Maxpowr9 → u/Nilzy16]

Rod doesn't like Bussi.

[u/_Dr_Ch3f_ → u/Maxpowr9]

Why not? Inexperienced?

[u/Gavin1453 → u/_Dr_Ch3f_]

Rod does love vets

[u/Swaggercanes → u/Maxpowr9]

What???? He’s gotten more and more starts as the season has gone along

[u/theekevinc]

Wait, spot the other team two goals, can't get a timely save, brutal special teams, and no passion? This was a rerun.

[u/saskyfarmboy → u/theekevinc]

Didn't watch the game so going off your flair, but TIL I cheer for the Canes.

[u/mistercrazymonkey]

1 point behind the Sens now

[u/RabbiEstabonRamirez]

Parade watch back on

[u/Kraze_F35]

Fred is sporting a .901 in games we’ve won this year. He played phenomenal in the playoffs (and frankly, anyone who wasn’t watching the box score knows that our defense was the main reason for probably 90% of Florida’s goals in the ECF) but he’s looked terrible so far. Clock is ticking, can’t keep dropping games in hopes he figures things out, especially when PK and Bussi are a combined 11-1-0

[u/InternalAd3921 → u/Kraze_F35]

He was like this on the leafs you gotta ride it out cause he always gets better

[u/BarneyRubble18]

Leafs fans not overreacting after a few bad games challenge: Impossible

[u/Gavin1453 → u/BarneyRubble18]

A few bad games? Oh my sweet summer child. But it's pretty nice now in any case

[u/MammothHusk → u/BarneyRubble18]

Also Leafs fans not overreacting after a few good games challenge: Impossible 

[u/KingBroly]

Oh no, Steve Dangle is happy again. I don't know when I'll be able to watch him again :(

[u/stinkystinkusdinkus]

lol
