You guys make me laugh. All season long you cut the shit out of the Leafs because you say most, if not all their players are shitty. Then they trade half of the bums away and you go on to say that the trades were horrible and what was Burke thinking ect.
Lets just think for a minute, Blake and Toskela for Giguere. An absolute steal for the Leafs. We get rid of Blake's huge contract and Toskela who really never cared about shit as a Leaf, for a guy who is a great in the dressing room, will instill confidence throughout the team and has been through it all before.
I no it was is only 1 game but Phaneuf is a beast and by far was the best player involved in the Calgary trade. He was underachieving this year because he fucking hates the Sutter's with a passion. Leaf haters here were actually saying that Phaneuf is finished at the age of 24...that is friggin funny shit. It looks like Sjostrom will help the PK and he is a very fast skater and brings lots of enthusiasm. The young dman they picked up has a chance to become a pretty good NHL player.
The Leafs gave up Mayers (bum) Stajan (wasn't returning next year anyways) and Hagman and White who are decent players but nothing special. Hagman has a bigtime reputation of having a good week and then he disappearing for a month.
To me both these trades were well done by Burke and if he can pluck a couple of goal scorers in the offseason, this team might not be to far off.
You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

So we are winning the Stanley cup now. Go Leafs baby lol. As a leaf fans I still think we miss the playoffs next year since we don't have the cap space to sign anyone. We have one, 7 milllion for 6 players needed? So really no point of Giguere trade in my opinion, rather just have cap space this summer.

Not even close but they are better off today than they were Saturday. I was at the game last night and by far one of the best efforts I have seen live all year.

Same old crap. Leafs win a game and now the parade is back on again.
If you watched the game you would have seen Phaneuf is a defensive liability.
And Giguere wasn't tested once...I'm not labelling Giguere a bad pickup...just saying don't make him out to be a #1 goalie again just yet.
As a matter of fact I was at the game and Phaneuf looked fine to me. I'm not stupid enough to talk abouts parades, playoffs ect. My point is that you Leaf haters think the trades by Burke were horrible and I disagree. All I am saying is that they are better off now than they were on Saturday.

Time for the Leafs and their fans (me included) to shut up and let the product on the ice speak for itself
I not holding my breath though, if history repeats itself, we should have a competitive team sometime between 2020-25 ... you do the math
Oh, and Burke is a GENIUS
Are they better off now than they were before the trades???...That is all I am saying. They still are not a very good team but to say Phaneuf is finished and that the trades were horrible is wrong by the Leaf haters.

Think about this before you answer....
Were they a better team with Brian McCabe in thier lineup?

You're doing the same thing, except in favour of the trade.
Your bias is as strong as mine.
Until he proves he's worth 6.25 million a season, don't go spouting off how they won the trade. The Leafs are spending now over 20mil a season just on 5 d-men...and they have the worst defensive game in the league.
They picked up a monster contract for one player, and Ian White had similar stats (albeit not as good as Dion) for 1/8 the price.

I'm not really sure you can call what I am saying spouting off. DID YOU READ WHAT I SAID...LEAF HATERS SAID THE TRADES WERE HORRIBLE FOR THE LEAFS AND I DISAGREE.... Whether they won or lost the trade will be decided in years to come. All I know is that we got rid of some shit and got one of the best dmen in the league along with a couple of decent players who have potential. White is a good dman and I hated to see him go but the other 3 are really nothing more than 3rd and 4th line players as time will tell.
Toskala had alot to do with our shitty goals against as well. I'm not sure how much you watch hockey but there is alot more to a defensive game than the dmen themselves.

How is he one of the best D-men in the league? He was #4 or 5 on Cgy's Depth chart, didn't make team Canada, was a minus rating on a good team last year.
That is laughable and why nobody takes the Leafs seriously.
Toskala has a 2.5 GAA in first season with the Leafs with crappy D.
Gustavsson hasn't been any better. Or any goalie since Belfour? Maybe its not the goalie but the fact their D is slow and make poor decisions.

Bro read any article about Giguere yesterday....the headlines were "ZZZZZZZZ's"
He could have slept and made all 30 of those saves....not a single one was high quality.
And just because Dion had turnovers doesn't mean they all resulted in shots against Giguere...only one or two did...the rest were just harmless giveaways.

Bottom line is the Leaf haters were saying these deals were horrible for the Leafs and I just happen to disagree.
Well according to all the so called media experts, Phaneuf is a younger version of a Brian McCabe and if you're familliar with McCabe, I can see many simularities between the two ...
