It would have been cooler if he were a Crinja

I just find it funny how the Leafs fans are holier than thou based entirely on luck of winning the lottery. They tank for one year, win the lottery and get Matthews right there in their lap.

OMG! Why didn't these other teams think of winning the lottery!? Their GMs are so dumb!

I root(cheer) for neither team or fanbase. Just saying the leafs fans in here come across as total smacked asses that really add nothing of value

shame because i'd like to see some actual competition against the sens fans in here. not a fan of them so much either, but they pretty much coast through unscathed while the leafs fans make fools of themselves. it's almost comical.

anyway, this is just an outsider's perception of what goes on in here. take it for what it's worth.

Pretty much this.

so you agree with me?

If you're saying that Leafs fans finally have a reason to troll other teams after years of being trolled by them. 100%

Pretty much this.

It's the irony of the post that gets me. Do you ever recall reading one of thousands of posts that sound something like this?

Other fanbase: Leafs will never be any good until they rebuild. You have to build through the draft. It's the only way. You'll never win with Phil and Dion. You can't win with these guys. You need to rebuild. MLSE doesn't care about winning. Why would they? They sell out every game because the sheep keep following.

Leafs fans: We'd like them to rebuild but what can we do?

Other fanbase: Stop going to games, stop buying merchandise.

Leafs fans: It's all corporate tickets. We don't go to many games

Other fanbase: 1967, plan the parade, Tom Kurvers, Kessel is a one-dimensional, fat, lazy player

Why would you wanna do that though? If it upset you so much, why inflict the same pain on others?

It's a lot that goes unseen. Like in the actual Leaf thread for example. It's mostly all just shots at one guy, Spatso, who has constantly trolled everything Leafs in a condescending and arrogant way. The Leafs have finally gone in the right direction and you're seeing years of abuse from him finally biting him in the ass. It's gone on so long there is little effort on our part to soften the tone of trolling him back. It's quite satisfYing really.

To be fair, I think these are all arguments Leafs fans had with each other

Why would you wanna do that though? If it upset you so much, why inflict the same pain on others?

It never upset me. It's just sports. But it was annoying. And yes I would like to be a bit of a pain in the ass about it. No denying that.

For sure. No one's ever trolled the Leafs. Everyone loves the Leafs.

What? No one has said that the Leafs rebuilding was a bad decision, it's been great actually. He's simply stating that there has been a good amount of luck with it as well. ARZ picking Strome over Marner and winning Matthews helped big time. Canucks being idiots as usual and picking Virtanen over Ehlers/Nylander helped as well.

same reason child abusers are often abuse victims themselves. because it's fun. wait what

I wish you were as fair as you said you'd be at the beginning of your post. But you just totally made something up..which happens to also be an absurd statement.

A lottery is all about luck. Not skiLloyd or brilliance. But it doesn't start and end with Matthews. It's more than that. Like getting a good goalie. A good coach. Making very good trades. Thing guys like Marner and Matthews. Players like Brown and Zaitsev stepping up. Etc.

It's a whole shift in the organization. Matthews is just the centerpiece but by no means the sole reason for the turn around of the franchise.

That's just insecurity. Your satisfaction should be tied to the Leafs success; not others' pain
