gonna literally throw virtual knives at the next person who says 34 & 16 need to step up in playoffs as if half the problem in previous years wasn’t management not surrounding them with complimentary players. like there is only so much two players can do. a team wins a cup, not individual players. like there’s a reason people you wouldn’t assume have a cup, have a cup, and that’s because they were part of a team that was built to support the name players.
i don’t need flashy deadline adds because a lot of the time it ruins team chemistry and things fall apart after a round. i just want a team that will go to war for each other, a team where people know what role they’re there to play and do it well, a team that has depth players they can call on when injury happens, because those are the kind of teams that win cups.
like yeah some of the greatest players have cups. but so do a bunch of guys you’ve probably never heard of. because it takes a whole team.
#the rhetoric from pundits and some twitter fans is just Annoying#literally HOW MANY YEARS did they do the big name splashy deadline add#and it’s never worked out#like literally never#people can talk about ror last playoffs but look at who was actually winning games for them#he wasn’t the one putting the team on his back and scoring goals to tie the games to drag them to overtime#he was good but the revisionist history about him making all the difference is exhausting#also no one ever wants to admit that a good chunk of winning a cup is luck#because it is#sometimes it’s just dumb fucking luck#because that’s sports in all its heartbreaking reality#you can do everything right and still lose#a goalie can go on a heater#players can get injured#everything adds up#so anyway i’m fine with the adds the leafs made and i’m fine with it being a quieter deadline#cards are set and we’ll see what happens#toronto maple leafs
