We'll see, right?`Mitch and JT don't always compliment each other, as we've seen. Conversely, they've had some extremely successful runs as linemates, and the prospect of Cowan is super exciting! I love it, but I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic!
@@Fenrisulv987-nl8kh Cowan is trying to earn a spot.... very motivated I watched him for 2 years in London.... he is the best player since Marner to be a London Knight.... by far. Mitch and JT both want to stay in the GTA and are on contract years..... they will both have near-record years. You wait JT will get a 2-3 year deal... Mitch will get 12 for 4... the core 4 will die or at least retire here....lol
It was time to pass the torch. Leafs are hoping that wearing the C will amp up Austin to the point where he actually gives a sht whether they win or not. Time will tell... I did see some brief flashes of intensity and hatred of losing from him last season, but not much in the playoffs. Tough situation for JT, but he's a big boy, he can handle it.
I think Marner should not wear an A and the reason is he doesn’t handle the media well. He was stirring up some unnecessary combative quotes last season and it didn’t look good on him. I hope it’s not a distraction that is impacting his play on the ice, but it could well be. The fanbase clearly is turning on him a lot on top of that. The Leafs fanbase always have to find one player they just turn on and it’s really annoying to me. Marner should focus on playing well and be appearing less in front of the media. I am tired of the dumb questions he has to give non-answers to every single time as well. Tavares was really not good with his media answers either. Rielly gives the best media answers on the team. Matthews has a very laid back personality but he does not always like every question from the media, but I’m hoping he handles it well as Captain and I am sure he will do a good job as captain.
With the changes on the back end, the addition of Stolarz (who doesn't get hurt, is a big man, and is very athletic), Marc Savard who will enforce change on the powerplay, all this points to an essential make over. Marner will have the best year of his career. Tavares will play well. They are in a contract years. Marner was not 100% last playoff and was doing what Keefe wanted him to. We will see a different player in the playoffs. He will resemble what he looked like when under Babcock without the secretive coercion. This is a different team with the same star power. This star power with a better power play record and better goaltending will be unarguably way more successful.
JD said "the Leafs need to take the regular season more SERIOUSLY", when in fact both of these guys have said a million times that the regular season DOES NOT MATTER. Just ridiculous.
Yo some of the people in these comments are bugging out, no wonder why they bring you creatures up now n then. I thought it was a good show ngl. Have belief people!!
25:56 Sammy. Still negative about the lesser guys like the new goalie without him even having a chance to maybe play 40 games instead of a career high of 24. Good thing Sammy isn’t the new coach
JD Recording after every time the LEAFS got knocked out of the Playoffs " We Were Right There " 6 years and continues ..1 more year LEAF Fans wouldn't have to listen to that BS
The team can't win in the playoffs with their core. There is no more wait and see, call me in spring, etc. They can't start the season with marner on the roster
JD, why do you keep looking up. It's very distracting!!!!! If Sammy is going to keep using the name of Jesus disrespectfully. I will stop watching. ❤ the show, but there is a limit.
McDavid got it from Matthews ...McDavid thought he hit a BRICK WALL and bounced right off Matthews like a golf ball hitting the cement wall.... TRUE FACT 100%
Lol "prepared statement". Treliving also had one. He goes into sweat mode immediately during public speaking. At least he makes jokes to break the tension like the lighting joke to open here today. John can't quite pull off those jokes
JD and Sam you 2 gentleman hit the nail on the head 100% about John Tavares
Ugh I miss hockey talk. Great show guys
Both in studio, wow
Berube hasn't smiled in decades....cold as ice gotta love it
it's easy to see Tavares moving into a management role with the Leafs when he retires
JT, Mitch and Cowan will have an epic year on the second line.

JT will not be on the 2nd line within 1 month into the season with the Chief behind the bench as the NEW coach ...JD 3rd line

Matthews wearing the C changes nothing..

Matthews had a big hit opening face off against Canadiens in the playoffs, game 6 or 7
The only question is does he handle the presser after loosing in the first round differently having the C. 😂😂
Different Captain but the same heartless team that only work in regular season so to secure their next contracts.
nice argos hat there sammy
Trivia: the Leafs have had no Captain for 8 of the last 30 seasons. They have had 6 Assistant Captains multiple times. Politics is everywhere.
Yo some of the people in these comments are bugging out, no wonder why they bring you creatures up now n then. I thought it was a good show ngl. Have belief people!!
Tavares was STRIPPED. That is the story.
The rest of the league must watch this and roll their eyes.
Absolutely. This is hilarious.
not really goofy boy move on
I'm a longtime Leafs fan (45 plus years) and I kind of agree! LOL.
Yup. New captain, same titanic and probably the same black and yellow iceberg lmao.
100%
Leafs need to get a 2C replacement for Tavares. They should draft one.
I have a million dollars of Elon musk's money that says they won't get past the first round for the next 5 years that he's captain
Ill take that stupid bet 😂
25:56 Sammy. Still negative about the lesser guys like the new goalie without him even having a chance to maybe play 40 games instead of a career high of 24. Good thing Sammy isn’t the new coach
Just a new Captain for the golf team 😅😅😅😅😅
What would Reilly do without the A, turn over even more pucks? Not even possible

“A huge forward who doesn’t hit anyone”? Sounds like Sundin all over again.
Remember this is the same guy that missed two games in the playoffs with tummy aches
Food poisoning isn't a tummy ache 🤡
Dude had the flu and lost like 20 pounds, don't need to be a knob about it
@@andrewdockrillbergeron played with a punctured lung
@@andrewdockrill I like how you just made stuff up
@RG-lr4pk I didn't make stuff up, that is what happened haha. Great for Bergeron haha.
JD, why do you keep looking up. It's very distracting!!!!! If Sammy is going to keep using the name of Jesus disrespectfully. I will stop watching. ❤ the show, but there is a limit.
Sammy please stop using the Lords name in vain … thank you…or I’m sending a bar of soap
How do you srill have a job in sports broadcasting???? 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Tavares has the personality of a door knob.
