Toronto Maple Leafs Rebuild Begins

[GiantsHky]

The Toronto Maple Leafs rebuilding since 1967.

[Alienpimp33]

Fire Ron wilson's a great start...

[Alienpimp33]

And it never happened... Brian burk screwed us by getting slow and dumb Phanuf and J.s.gigare... We're the second worst in the league... Rebuild what...? With what...?

[morpheusofgreece]

jussi rynnas, mikhail stefanovich, nazem kadri, jimmy hayes, hanson, bozak, the monster, cant wait fro july 1st

[pooleboy66]

I was pumped for a rebuild....now its all gone thanx to Kessel

[briandolce]

@pooleboy66 i feel ur pain bud haha, nah but to give you a little relief, on draft day the leafs are prolly gonna make a trade with the blue jackets involving kaberle and the 4th overall pick and i think burkes gonna use that pick as trading bait to get his second overall pick back, it sounds unrealistic right now haha but it really isnt, its possible that is going to happen

[BARLES1]

So I wasn't really counting but I think atleast 6 of these guys are no longer even in the organization...not to mention the ones that still are but are busts...Once again there may even be more then 6 as I wasn't counting Guys like stralman, steen, tlusty, antropov, etc...

[garrettcollins9]

K apparently you guys are fucking blind the video says leafs rebuilding not leafs kick ass and are gonna win something this season dumb asses

[Goldman3040]

why the fuck do you watch these videos if youre just going to say the leafs suck a month into the season? get a fucking life

[mejw1]

OH YEA SURE NOW THEY HAVE 7 WHOLE POINTS with another loss/overtime point lmao, the fact of the matter is that they are dead last place, its safe to say that the leafs will miss the playoffs again lmao

[mejw1]

THE LEAFS SUCK lmao 3 FREAKIN POINTS SINCE THE START OF THE SEASON lol and leaf fans always say the SENS choke MHUAHAHAHAHAHA well there is one thing the leafs win at CHOOOOOCKING LMAO!!!!

[JamesMills13]

Actually they have more than 3, nice try.

[wendygillings]

In Pro sports, it's all about the position your are put in and I'm not talking about hockey position and the environment you are put in and your surrounding players. Not skill, no shot, not speed. Team work, strong friendships and guts and determination will decide who wins the cup.

ps this is my opinion not a fact but to me it is.

[angustus5]

you suck stevieboy

[stevieboy588]

the leafs suck

[PavelBure96109]

We dont have the same opinions. We'll see who turns out to be the better player in a few years...but right now it could go either way.

[PavelBure96109]

I know Grachev is a very good player...and I think he'll be a very good player in the NHL. If Grachev came back to the OHL nexy year he would be an overage player....of course he would rip it up.

[PavelBure96109]

I didnt say Stefanovich was better than Grachev. He can be a great penalty killer in the OHL with his speed 80% of speedsters are,you need more than speed to be a good PK'r in the NHL.

Stefanovich is a better goal scorer than Grachev and that's what the leafs are in need of,a sniper. Grachev had 40 goals in 60 games playing with Cody Hodgson. Stefanovich was playing in a lower scoring league..and put up over a goal per game since Christmas.

[PavelBure96109]

I have never met a rangers fan? what a pathetic excuse of an "argument". You're kidding yourself if you think you're prospect pool is as deep as ours.

Stefanoivch > Grachev in terms of skill.

and Kadri>>>Grachev easily.

[PavelBure96109]

No,instead they finnsh 7th and get bumped out in the first round...and get get a shitty draft pick. I have seen everyone of those prospects I mentioned play.

The leafs suck and will always suck? We have a better group of young prospects then the rangers that's for sure. Why are you even here...have nothing better to do than search up leaf video's and bash?

The majority of rangers fans are morons.

[PavelBure96109]

Keep the retarded statements coming...It's pretty funny seeing such an uneducated moron try to make fun of the leafs prospect pool when he/she is a ranger's fan.

[PavelBure96109]

Seriously? Have you seen Stralman play lately? Considering he's playing with the Marlies i highly doubt it. Tlusty is 21 years old...he cant cut it in the NHL? PPG player in the AHL at the age of 20 isnt impressive enough for you? Stalberg is "ok"? How many times have you seen Stalberg play? Considering he's in NCAA Im guess around zero......Gustavsson is overrated? 1.03 GAA 960 SV% In the playoffs...How's that for "overrated"? .

[PavelBure96109]

Are you retarded kid? How about Stralman?Tlusty? Stalberg? Bozak? Gustavsson? Im guessing you're new to the sport...or maybe you're 12 years old? either way stop spreading you're bullshit on leaf video's.

[galabrotix]

Fuck your dogs box queer

[masterbassplayer93]

dildo cheese? wtf

[hockeyfreak1799]

oh i was talking about the prospect group trying out for the team and not the prospects already on the rangers.

[hockeyfreak1799]

Ryan Bourque, Max Campbell, Chris Chappell, Paul Crowder, Craig Cunningham, Trent Daavettila, Evgeny Grachev, Chris Kreider, Matt Maccarone, Luke Pither, Justin Soryal, Derek Stepan, Ethan Werek, Luke Curadi, Mike Del Zotto, Tysen Dowzak, Mitch Gaulton, Matt Gilroy, Ilkka Heikkinen, Sammy Klassen, Tomas Kundratek, Daniel Maggio, Keith Kinkaid, Ben Scrivens, Scott Stajcer, Travis Yonkman ? hmm common you dont know shit about hockey, this isnt one of the best prospects group

[hockeyfreak1799]

kay seriously kid why do you stfu, that was the worst fucking comeback ive ever heard, like common, name me them

[hockeyfreak1799]

holly shit man your stupid, why dont you look at the rangers all they do is sign players for long term huge contracts and then then when there not doing good there a waste of money but they did get gaborik ill give em that, but seriously dont come up with another stupid comeback like that.

[adaki]

black diamond-stratovarius

[Miamirw2334]

what's he song???

[hockeyfreak1799]

wow kid, get a life

[hazen101]

kulemin will be great next season 09/10 because he will be used to the nhl.

[bdubbdub88]

LEAFS ALL DAY BABY!!!!!!!!!

[LeafsFanInOttawa]

Anybody know anything about Vorobiev's whereabouts, any chance he will join the Leafs/Marlies next year? Same question for Flaake.

And I assume D. Mitchell and Stefanovich will be with the Marlies next season?

[TMLFAN1989]

you did a great job with this video . thanks :)

[aussiepereira]

exactly. We have by far the best future. and the this years draft will prove that. We're the next Detroit!

[dotto12345]

lets add Christian Hanson and Tyler Bozak to those list of players...leafs are getting better..time will pay off

[pooleboy66]

BURKEY BRING US A CUP!!!

[syKkid]

TANK LEAFS TANK!

[flygaia]

hey maplefoliage, you forgot curtis joseph outta your mighty list in your description :)

[leafsgirl41]

hes old and terrible

[flygaia]

better than yr ass

[leafsgirl41]

umm? i would hope so hes playing in the nhl and getting payed 4 it DURRRRRR idiot

[canadaguy124]

1:55, i was there!

[canadaguy124]

Dmitri Vorobiev wont come over and play, hes really good but hes making to much money in Russia

[leafsgirl41]

hes fat 2

[londonpythons716]

ok, i found out that stralman was a fifth round pick so where the f*ck did theyt get the ideaq to bring him up? hes an awesome player tho, but he had a sh*t pre season, as i seen it, but the guys awesome either way ;)

[leafsgirl41]

bc he Developed well?

[londonpythons716]

what does everyone have against sundin, ya hes aged, but hes only 37, hes got 2-3 years left, hes the leafs best player (at least point getter), he's done so much over the years for us, we shouldnt treat him this way!

[leafsgirl41]

he declined a trade that would have helped the rebuild.

[riff73]

same line up? hagman, mayers, grabovski, schenn, kulemin, frogger, van ryn, hollweg, finger, etc etc

NO mccabe, tucker, sundin, wellwood

[Bmurs07]

I love my leafs n all but this is pretty much last years line up without sundin...sorry man, you shoulda focused on the players and not called it a rebuild, considering most of those players are in the minors and steen stajan ponikarovski and antropov are old aging slowly and wont have much impact for the time being

[leafsgirl41]

what the hell r u talking about? Poni and Antropov are both 28 and Steen and Stajan are 24,what r u talking about most of these players are in the minors!?

[Bmurs07]

Dude, Anto and Poni are technically past their prime considering they Fed off Sundin and hes gone all they got is each other and the rest of the team was last years AHL Toronto Marlies (with the exception of Luke Schenn, Kaberle Kubina) but seriously, they ripped detroit in their play tonight, but they still have developing to do and they need a Big offensive threat to benefit Poni/Antro.

[leafsgirl41]

what r u talking ABOUT? just bc sundin left and they wont put up as many points this season doesnt mean there past there prime >_>

what players are u talking about with the marlies shit? name 5 players on the roster who played with the marlies last year.

[Bmurs07]

its a fact they wont put up the same seasons, sit back n watch plus the AHL Marlies had like 6 or 7 players come up from their team last year. including Robbie Earl Jeremy Williams and the boys...

[leafsgirl41]

they arnt on the team this year tho... >_> barely any marlies from last year are

[Bmurs07]

they would be better off developing their youngins in the Minors 1 more year so they have a shit team n get a high pick possibly Hedman/Tavares.

[leafsgirl41]

Why would they put young nhl ready players in the AHL? thats just stupid

[Bmurs07]

Because you dont try n win in rebuild mode...their not the detroit red wings..

[leafsgirl41]

ur an idiotah

[Bmurs07]

your retarded...typical out of focus leaf fan...were in rebuild mode but lets try to win games and put people in the NHL as fast as possible...you have no idea what your talking about...

[leafsgirl41]

What?did i say they need 2 win as many games as possible?no....put people in the nhl as fast as possible? what r u talking about???? this is ALMOST as retarded as ur comment about about the AHL/NHL

[Bmurs07]

your stupid, read what im saying instead of just assuming im wrong...let people develope int he minors while your in rebuild mode...AHL is people who have part time NHL jobs and know what it takes the experience they can bring from that is alot more of an impact then having to worry about staying in the NHL. ESPECIALLY while your in rebuild mode, shit like that has an impact...

[leafsgirl41]

Btw Schenn cant play in the AHL....

[Bmurs07]

why not

[leafsgirl41]

He's not eligible............

[Bmurs07]

probably some gay age restriction

[leafsgirl41]

ya, who are they rushing tho besides Schenn?

[Bmurs07]

they Rushed Coliacavo and look what happened to him (O_o)

[leafsgirl41]

Injuries,ruined him.

[Bmurs07]

because they made him step in before he was physically ready

[leafsgirl41]

They didnt really rush Cola he had Injury Problems b4 that, i guess he's still not physically ready,lol guy's made of glass 0__0

[Kagunoshi]

there also rushing three other players grabvoski but hes had a lil experience, another kulemin hes had no experience but has a veteran along side his line plus another rookie russian and finnaly mitchel who has minium ice time but has made some goals and points

[leafsgirl41]

Grabovski is a beast

[Kagunoshi]

yup hes my favourite current player lol alttime fav player is tie DOMI!

[Bmurs07]

And to top it off your calling me retarded and an idiot but wanting your young stars to step in the NHL ASAP and get demolished by the stars in the game right now...be honest when you reply like an idiot..Would you have Schenn try n develope against malkin crosby ovechkin and so on, that kills self esteem. Look up Jose theodore for Results of Low Esteem and you will quickly notice that its not a brilliant idea to rush young guns

[leafsgirl41]

I would have sent Schenn back 2 Jr,but other then him who are they Rushing?

[galabrotix]

Crosby is a piece of shit so stfu

[londonpythons716]

I can understand habs and sens coming on here, cause allot of them are r-tards, but c'mon, Vancouver, your smarter than that, what did we do to you? allot of us leafers like the oilers, flames and canucks, we have no beef with you, so shut up, go write **** about the ottawa fagators.

[londonpythons716]

leafs are going to be a huge team within 5 years, maybe more, maybe less, more likely less than more. STARTOVARIUS! (i think lol), the leafs have a powerful young team, yes higher draft pics are better than lower, but look at zetterberg, stralman, datsyuk, and all those other guys lol

[sniperstar]

even Kaberle was drafted 8th round its not about when you draft someone its who and how u draft

[wrappindude]

At least our Stanley Cup photos are in colour

[paulin8er]

ok the leafs are the nhl buddy habs are so gayy they suck so bad!!!

[wrappindude]

If you follow history,you will notice the repetitive nonsensacle decisions the Leaf management make.This team is doomed,doomed to failure and will continue to do so year after year,by failure I mean not making the finals which they have not done in 41 years.This franchise plays and lives in a fishbowl,constantly chastised by their own media,the pressure to do well in a competive market,(Raptors and BlueJays)is too much for this talent depleted team.Also,high draft picks are way over-rated Gohabs

[leafsgirl41]

high draft picks are overrated? wow thats the nost retarded thing i have ever heard. tell me where all most all the Young star players rite now come from? HIGH DRAFT PICKS.fucking idiot >_>

[wrappindude]

leafsgirl41 you are such an ignorant and vulgar person,so angry,oh wait,you are a leafs fan after all.Anyways,I'm a Habs fan but I bet the Canucks will win the cup before the Leafs will.The Leafs are dysfunctional,have been for a long time.Your reasoning is clouded by a blind love for the Leafs,much like HNIC.

[vaneKfan2k]

ummmm what is this based on? the canuks arent much better then the leafs at all rite now(both will miss the playoffs) but the leafs will get a better draft pick(probly top 5) 2 add 2 there future which is already better then the canuks so umm....idk what ur talking about? r u slow?

[leafsgirl41]

ur just an idiot.......1993 wasnt exacly yesterday......

[pooper1305]

lol, youre not a 'better' person in any way either.. coming on to a rival's vid and posting crap. (o wait, youre a habs fan) like what the hell?

[wrappindude]

The Leafs rebuild begins.....again.God what a sorry-ass franchise this is..Go Habs Go!!

[leafsgirl41]

again? what r u tslking about faggot

[shrekiptc]

fuck the leafs youre nothing!!!!!!!!!!!

go habs go

[leafsgirl41]

and u lost 2 philly in 5games and r running ur mouth y? lol the price is wrong

[pocopilot]

Leafs fans are a sad pathetic bunch. Should switch over to the better side of the country and nicest place to live British Columbia. Go Canucks Go. 1967 was the last good year the leafs will ever have

[blaalbla]

ya well we are more vauable and worth more to the nhl so the canucks can go fuck themselves and so can u pussie fans in bc u guys cant support r team the way we do well see who sundin choose u cockmuncher Go leafs go

[pmmatt]

you mean the part of the country that no one in canada really gives a rats ass about.. yep. count your cups champ.. better pack a lunch

[leafsgirl41]

wow ur maken fun of the leafs yet ur a canuks fan ? XD u have no future....or present GTFO

[jadass]

You should of put Stefan Kronwall in your video, he's good.

[leafsgirl41]

he sux

[evguy19]

you missed sundin

[vaneKfan2k]

hes old

[evguy19]

lmao,I know dude, jks.

[vaneKfan2k]

okiee dokey

[goleafsgo0293]

we REALLY need to trade some dead weight for draft picks...

[vaneKfan2k]

god i agree 100%

[goleafsgo0293]

:P... people are quick to sa REBUILD...but nobody wants to lose. We have to do what the penguins did...lose for a while...get high picks...then come back with young, talent and go for a deep playoff run

[vaneKfan2k]

yep...they should trade kubina 4 a late 1st+ a decent prospect then get a top 5 pick next year and will surely have a top 7 future in the nhl

[goleafsgo0293]

yeah or they could play the guessing game...:P..pick a team that will flop ( maybe NYI..) AND Trade kubina there...so if they come in last..we get tavares ( yeah thats kinda desperate, but if youre toronto, you will do ANYTHING to get back on top)

[vaneKfan2k]

tavares FTW

[leafsgirl41]

lol

[vaneKfan2k]

they BETTER fuckn trade kubina for picks/prospects 2 what a joke if they dont....

[goleafsgo0293]

they have until the season starts back to trade him...if not , his no trade clause kicks back in

[vaneKfan2k]

we only have til aug 15th actually : ( what a retard cliff is I SEE NO POINT IN KEEPING A 33 YEAR OLD d-man WHO WILL BE IN HIS LATE 30'S BY TIME WE CONTEND AGAIN fuckn bs

[goleafsgo0293]

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!...cliff is a great gm...but in this nhl he needs to be WAYYY more agressive

[vaneKfan2k]

keeping kubina bc RW likes him.......

[goleafsgo0293]

WOW... and he was the one that told "the hockey news".." i dont have personal relationships with players, i do not prefer on over the other , either"

[vaneKfan2k]

awesome video 5/5

[rightlight17]

pocahontas is not my favourite but I guess he'll do for the team he knows how to score thats a plus for a team said to have a problem in the new season.

[wellwood494]

who?

[alrexrod198]

cool

what program did you use to make this?

[JordanStrople]

High hopes boys, high hopes.

[peepeepoopoo02]

and how about Jason Blake

He Is Giving 1 000 000% to this club even with cancer

[peepeepoopoo02]

but how bout cujo

and bryan McCabe

and leafs my possibly get mats ,sundin back if he wants to come back right????

and jeff finger

lol i can go on

[goleafsgo0293]

probably not mccabe...ownership AND management are trying to trade him, if not, they will probably buy him out at the end of next season

[domit10]

thank you very much for posting. great video. This actually did make me feel better. The only one who you missed that I am really high on personally is Jeff Finger. I got a feeling he will be very good for us and am not pessimistic towards him like other Leaf fans. Go Leafs Go!

[Derksmite]

You forgot Sundin...He will be returning

[vaneKfan2k]

no he wont + he wont be apart of the rebuild

[jn0003]

whers cujo?

[jakubplewa1]

name of the song?

[MapleFoliage]

Carl Orff - O Fortuna

Stratovarius - Black Diamond

[quivl]

It's a shame we aren't allowed to have Frogren ontop of that.

[anton1987]

says who? yes the nhl rejected the initial deal but fletcher has already said frogren will still be here. hes even allowed to play while they settle the debate.

[quivl]

Well, The Leafs built a $200,000 bonus into Frogren's original contract to go towards Farjestad for buying him out. So now Farjestad doesn't really have any reason to let him go.

[anton1987]

um no. they built in the bonus so FROGREN could buy himself out of the Farjestad contract....and he did.

Frogren is still gonna see all that money, they just need to rework the deal to fit under the nhls guidelines.

you might as well put frogren on your future lines because he will play...probably even before the contract issue gets settled.

[shaluman]

Fletcher and Don Meehan seem confident that Frogren will sign with the Leafs.

[MatsSundin1308]

Nice vid.

[mattstajan]

Very good , thx for this

[LeafsTube]

gotta love vesa.. can't w8 to see luke too. nice vid
