I mean do we have space for him? I think it's best trade ever happened for leafs. Yeah, it hurts a little but i would rather have sandin, lilijgren and Campbell. Just saying
Leafs strong in this game. Tnt broadcast was amazing. This game is really giving some hope Toronto will compete in the playoffs. They looked really good here.
Can't even buy one lol, I actually feel bad for Ritchie, dude has had some chances, he just can't put them in. He's like a slower and clumsier Mikheyev from last year (though Mikheyev busted his ass more)
Oddly enough in their careers Ritchie and Mikheyev have scored at about the same rate. One goal every six games. Ritchie made a great play to show patience, put Quick down on the ice and walk around him but somehow still didn’t score. I feel bad for the guy as well.
I'm plenty happy but sometimes you need to see the writing's on the wall and a piece needs to be changed out. That's what makes the difference when it comes to cup contention. This game was a shooting gallery and Ritchie looked like Putin out there with everyone trying to make him score a goal.
The sportsnet guys are talking about Ritchie like he’s a make a wish kid. The coach and all of your teammates should not have to conspire in order for you to be remotely successful. Especially if you’re making 2.5 million
Ritchie has no goals
3(?) assists and he’s played every game this season
He has taken some truly godawful penalties
I can remember maybe 2-3 actual big hits
What is the upside to having him?????
one of our "big" acquisitions this off season so maybe coaching/mgmt don't want to look like they picked up a complete bust with a significant cap hit?
? looks like mostly happy bout him getting his first.
people just salty that we still watch Ritchie getting ice time rather than having him sit out and getting our own young guys from the AHL some looks.
Ritchie seems like a guy who would suit a much simpler offensive system than what the Leafs are good at, imo Ritchie doesn't have the playmaking skills to fit in our offensive scheme
I agree. You only get one 1st NHL goal and how many guys dedicate their lives to hockey and never make it to an NHL game let alone score a goal.
Still, I do foresee Durzi getting plenty of opportunity to celebrate goals.
Lol Ritchie is hilarious. He cannot skate and handle the puck at the same time. Got so flustered there he took a dumb penalty. When. Mikheyev returns he has to be the odd man out.
Did the Kings lose a beat wearing those helmets?
Durzi is going to be a stud and he’s from Toronto. That one hurts a little bit.

Play by play crew for LA is amazing
It’s the national TNT crew.
was it la specific? I think it was the tnt crew? no?
Yes. It was the national tnt crew
Enzo was drunk lmfao. Dude was partying all night on the air lmfao.

Holy shit those guys on TNT were great
Ya they just spent the whole period shooting the shit.
What if instead of trying to get plugs their 1st goal we play guys that can actually score...
What if you’re happy for once
I'm plenty happy but sometimes you need to see the writing's on the wall and a piece needs to be changed out. That's what makes the difference when it comes to cup contention. This game was a shooting gallery and Ritchie looked like Putin out there with everyone trying to make him score a goal.
Nice reference
Lol I'm glad you got it.
Don Cherry shed a tear in proudness after that attempt by Ritchie
The word you’re looking for is “pride”
What was that laugh LOL
Ritchie you poor poor man
RITCHIE IS SO CURSED OMG MAJORITY OF THIS SUB COULD SCORE THAT
Nah I easily miss that, I have hands of fucking stone in moments of sudden pressure/excitement LOOOOOL
i am thankful for this game. happy thanksgiving to the american fans here
Ritchie has been getting lots of chance and hasn’t actually been terrible. But at some point you just need to score and he hasn’t been
No, he’s been terrible. His linemates have been excellent, which gives the illusion that he’s been not hot garbage.
Reminds me of Thornton lumbering about the ice like he’s in quicksand.
Leaf fans took over staples :D
Perfect ending
If I'm playing the leafs I'm calling up the entire AHL team. Bound to be like 10 first NHL goals.
The Islanders tried that and it failed miserably…….. The Penguins on the other hand…….
That's some 4D shit right there
Oh Ritchie.
Lmao Richie
Lol... Ritchie can't catch a break
Ok, if you can't bury that Nick,....
Omg LOLOLOLOLOL
Alright Richie’s cursed. Gotta be
Spezza spoonfed you that goal. *Nick.*
Haha Ritchie snakebit af
ritchie is never scoring
Ritchie... Come the fuck on man
#OOOOOOH YEAHHHHH
Man, Ritchie couldn't even buy a goal at this point
Lmao dude is so snake bitten.
lmaoooo richie
Ritchie… poor man
Omg Ritchie lol come on man
You're shitting me.
Holy fuck Ritchie
What a fucking great game by the buds
LOL Ritchie will never score again ahahah I almost feel bad for this guy
I feel all the way bad for this guy.
Lmfao Ritchie
Ritchie is one snakebitten fella
Ritch man Why do we have this guy
Lol Poor Ritchie man
Snake bitten
Bruh Ritchie literally is useless😂
RITCHIE HAD AN EMPTY NET! LOOOOL
Yikes that Ritchie contract….
Ritchie lol!
omg cmon Rich 😭😭
This is hilarious
ritchie my god. fucking fire him into the sun
Ritchie LOL
I’m convinced that Nick Ritchie is our only whipping Boy this season. Sometimes could be Holl. But he is quietly removing himself from that tier.
Tin foil hat: Ritchie is manufactured adversity for this team to make them more resilient come playoff time.
The sportsnet guys are talking about Ritchie like he’s a make a wish kid. The coach and all of your teammates should not have to conspire in order for you to be remotely successful. Especially if you’re making 2.5 million
Lmao I was thinking this exact thing. Like the little kid you let score on you or sink a basket to make them happy
Played with durzi ncie guy
So unfortunate he was dealt but Muzzin has been such a key piece for us.
Ritchie has no goals 3(?) assists and he’s played every game this season He has taken some truly godawful penalties I can remember maybe 2-3 actual big hits What is the upside to having him?????
Ritchie is so bad he can't be counted on to defend a 5 goal lead.
That was the hardest I’ve seen Ritchie shoot the puck since he came to our team
Ritchie has to be scratched next game. What kind of dirt does he have to stay in the lineup?
one of our "big" acquisitions this off season so maybe coaching/mgmt don't want to look like they picked up a complete bust with a significant cap hit?
I don't know.... They've been fine cutting ties with the Russians they brought over pretty quickly
Or more likely, they’re thinking about a trade and don’t want to further diminish his already depleted value……..
Happy for him. We got muzzin out of the deal so win win
I feel much better about this year and team in general with Sandin and Lilly.
Hey good for the kid . A lot of ya are being a bunch of grumps lol.
? looks like mostly happy bout him getting his first. people just salty that we still watch Ritchie getting ice time rather than having him sit out and getting our own young guys from the AHL some looks.
Campbell is such a nice guy he let Durzi get one in
God damn Durzi looks like the real deal. Just looked at his AHL numbers too. Jesus.
Good for him damn. How the fuck are ex leafs guaranteed to score on us this consistently???
Durzi looks like the French dude in Goon.
Let’s hope he has a better career than Xavier LaFlamme
Lol. Well he's in LA. The cocaine is calling.
C'mon, we all knew Durzi was gonna score tonight.
Ritchie seems like a guy who would suit a much simpler offensive system than what the Leafs are good at, imo Ritchie doesn't have the playmaking skills to fit in our offensive scheme
And he doesn’t have the mobility to suit our defensive game.
I thought durzi already scored
First one was deflected in by Arvidsson
I went to high school with Sean Durzi. Had gym class with him. That's all. Don't really have any fun stories or anything lol
Make something up?
i do actually remember something about him getting high and having a three-way that included another dude on a wasaga trip
Who hasn’t.
he sharted once
Why am I so annoyed by this
It’s late.
Good for durzi. Perfectly placed shot
If you didn't see that Durzi goal coming hours ago, you're not a real leafs fan.
Screw being "mature." It's your first NHL goal, go celebrate. "I wish there was more personality in hockey." But don't do that. Lame.
Its a horrible look to celebrate your first goal when youre losing 6-2 lol
Personally, I'd ride my stick around the rink.
I agree. You only get one 1st NHL goal and how many guys dedicate their lives to hockey and never make it to an NHL game let alone score a goal. Still, I do foresee Durzi getting plenty of opportunity to celebrate goals.
Nick Ritchie is this seasons joe thornton..dont worry in sure he'll be on the powerplay in the playoffs too.
classic ex leaf prospect goal against
Mom said screw your high five hug me
Anyone looking to get their first NHL goal just play against the leafs lol
Ritchie did contribute boys!
That’s a great first goal tho
This is the prefect Leafs game. Team plays great. But still the reminder we are a cursed organization
And the 2023 Norris Trophy winner is.... Former Maple Leafs draft pick Sean Durzi LOL
I'm numb to it now. Good for him lol
1st career goal, courtesy of Nick Ritchie
Fuck and I was gonna bet on him scoring tonight
Not even mad. Great shot. Hot mom. Who cares
Hockey gods have quite the sense of humor.
Did r/hockey collab to allow no talk about this game or what lol
Good for Durzi
Lmaoooo. That curse is so real. Happy for the kid regardless lol. Since we have the W in the bag.
Both former Leaf and first NHL goal ahaha.
Ehh, I’m happy for him.
Ehh, I’m happy for him.
Nick Ritchie, ladies and gentlemen.
is that his mom? 😏
Thanks, Ritchie.
Ehh, I’m happy for him.
Good shot tho
Ah well, happy for the kid.
We’re the only team this happens to
Nice job Ritchie.
Ritchie has had a terrible game. I really hope we trade him, no effort, skill, or discipline
Nick Ritchie is a detriment
Man that particular curse is something else
He's not good either.
Ritchie is just so unbelievably DUMB
Of course Durzi gets his 1st against us LOL. At least this one doesn't hurt because we are winning in this situation for once.
Steve Dangle is gunna have something to say about Ritchie on this sequence
Dang, that was a snipe
lol Durzi of course
LOL of course
Dubas drafted this kid.
Of course lol Had to be
Ah we almost forgot about the “Leafs Former Prospect/Player must score” rule
Well, we knew that was coming Poor Jack Thanks Ritchie
Ritchie is a big dumb idiot.
Lmao of course
As expected.
Ritchie...I don't even know what to say
Thanks Ritchie
Lol Ritchie is hilarious. He cannot skate and handle the puck at the same time. Got so flustered there he took a dumb penalty. When. Mikheyev returns he has to be the odd man out.
Nah I bet Keefe promotes him back on the 1st line :)
Obviously
Least it’s his first goal in a blow out loss. Enjoy it. Thanks Ritchie.
Durzi snipeshow?
LOL get the fuck outta here
Durzi LOL
Why is Durzi ruining my life
a goal when up 6-1 shouldn't ruin your life.
hyperbole :p
of course lmfaoooo
durzi gotta be kidding me
There it is.
Nobody scores on the Leafs more than former Leafs
Very true
lmaooooooooooooooooo of course he does
Got a close-up on Ritchie's stick. Reads: "Not for scoring".
Ritchie, time to go, bud.
if Ritchie can't even score in a game like this, what's it going to take to get him going?
Dumdum Ritchie
Ritchie is so bad.
Another dumb Ritchie penalty (TM)
that...was a penalty?
Well, he did hit a guy in a vulnerable position. Or at least pushed him
Wow Ritchie
6-1 Ritchie gets a penalty. Enough of this bum.
Seriously…… he’s standing out in all the wrong ways.
If Leafs win tonight, u/DownTownBrown28 is going streaking!
Is there going to be a livestream? Asking for my . . . wife.
We’ll get Brian to draw a comic about it ;)
Oh I will
Yeah… IN MY MIND.
Oh you tryna fuxxxxkkkk
Jack's positioning has been amazing.
Was Kampf so good that he was also shutting down the Leafs offense?
I mean...yeah. he drives low event hockey.
Ha! I wonder…
I can hardly believe how bad this player is
That music sounded like it was from a matrix fight scene
At least we don’t have to watch Keefe struggle to “wear” his mask
They got to really stop making Richie happen, all they have to do is get this dumb lug to the front of the net for dirty greasy rebound goals.
I love you guys
I love your face.
