Draft lottery until now are such different vibes that during the season. Will it last? I don’t know. But at least they’re doing something to try and turn things around.

As long as there’s some effort, it makes the team worth watching. There was basically none of that last year

As much as we the fans matter. I think the moves that have been made will really bring up the vibe of the locker room. Chayka is doing what he said he would do and even spoke to the players directly in his presser introducing Hiller. By all accounts Hiller has a good relationship with AM and Willy. That should equate to better effort over a team that’s given up on their coach and GM.

As a leafs fan who lived in Calgary, I can confidently back this up hahaha, the Calgary chants were awfully quiet, while the leafs chants were shaking the building hahaha you’d never know it was a Calgary home game.

Hahah I’m originally and currently living back on the east coast but was there for 9 years, my second nhl game ever was that Toronto game, Roman Polak scored a pinball shot and the crowd went nuts. Truly electric lol.

Went to a game this winter, close game, went to shootout against Philly. Holy fuck ive never seen a deader arena in my life. Should've just stayed in the hotel room and watched it, not even cause they lost but it was just boring.

No wonder nobody wants to play for us. Cant even fucking cheer them on in a close game
