Great to here from Felix , my favorite Leaf's team full off heart , leadership and passion !!!!!!!

[@Tiglath-PileserXIX]

They threw him under the bus for Cujo.

[@YeahNadaSurf]

​​@@Tiglath-PileserXIX You're not being fair to Flair, nobody was thrown under a bus.

[@Tiglath-PileserXIX]

@@YeahNadaSurf I was around when Felix became the odd man out in favour of Cujo, the local boy made good. A year after Cujo was signed, Felix was out.

[@YeahNadaSurf]

@@Tiglath-PileserXIX I was there too, Felix Potvin was awesome and the Leafs still would have been playoff contenders with Potvin as starter. However, at that particular time in the NHL the best goalie was Curtis Joseph and he also wanted to play for the Leafs, and for no real cost because he was a free agent. So if you're the general manager do you actually say no to Cujo? Of course not, unless you're not familiar with how sports works, so why describe that normal logical decision as "they threw him under the bus?"

[@marcustait9017]

Felix The Legend!!!

[@user-cw4ph5se6p]

it is always interesting to listen to comments from a goaler

[@MikeDoba]

Felix my main man.. Nice to hear

[@user-cw4ph5se6p]

Marchand said it is fun to play against maple leafs

[@robertsimmons6374]

imagine Felix as goalie coach, dougie head coach.. if only :)

[@KingOrest]

It’d be interesting

[@mikematthews3409]

Wendle as the assistant

[@gdavies4]

Great players don't necessarily mean great coaches. Look at Roy 😅

[@KingOrest]

@@gdavies4 good point

[@GoodToBeGold08]

Leafs has no structure. Guys don’t go hard digging for the puck. Those corner battles is what makes playoff hockey that much more driven for some.

[@tomfilipiak3511]

Years ago in the 1940 s and 50 s there was Emil The Cat Francis ,coached the reangers in the 1970s!

[@jamesbruce8749]

Sign up the Cat for the rest of the series!! Remember when the Leafs could develop a Goalie?

[@leeham6230]

They needed to draft a top goaltender years ago. This team's offensive talent combined with a top goaltender could actually do something. That is, if they didn't already sign 4 forwards for over $10 million a year 😊 They are screwed. Need to rebuild.

[@SimRacingVeteran]

@@leeham6230 - they had Rask and let him go. They also gave up on Freddy Andersen. Andersen has the best leafs record as a goalie in a single season. The leafs had goalies.

[@shinobi7742]

My favorite Leaf goalie of all time!

[@minnierapos8693]

I ADMIRE FELIX HE IS SO HONEST AND KNOWS S9 MUCH ABOUT HOCKEY .ONE I F THE BEST LEAF GOALIES .❤

[@torontorox]

✌💙 cool cat! thanks for comin out.

[@jimlangdon1947]

Go Leafs Go! The Leafs Core 4 just finished another good regular season. 😀

[@sid7088]

The Cat, best Leafs goalie ever. 👍👍

[@Mattoilers97]

Curtis Jospeh

[@wilseph1]

Felix the Cat!

[@tplomonte]

Felix Potvin great goaltender and can throw them if he needed to !! Felix held his teams in a lot of games , deserved a better fate, and another player that should have been a long time leaf !

[@user-ts5qw6tr9b]

Yes when he gave hextall the smoke

[@biglemoncoke4095]

I thought Felix was going to stay with the Leafs for his career, but Cujo came aboard, and took over.

[@tomdixon1213]

Relentless intensity. Go Leafs.

[@officialnickelcitygrunge]

Will over skill, when skill wont will, 💯 of the time.

[@randycarolsmith1437]

Can we bring him back for next year!

[@wilseph1]

Today?

[@Mattoilers97]

Let’s go bruins

[@SimRacingVeteran]

Maybe the Leafs should sign Felix again.

[@nelsonarruda3272]

It doesn't matter what goalis Is in the net. It is not going to make a difference. It is not the goalie's fault.

[@SanchezKirby]

Last day of April so does the leafs season 😅

[@blakeley38]

As a leafs fan this team is a joke looks like they just want to go golfing

[@automatoncollectives7237]

I’m beginning to wonder if JD truly has an appreciation for how teams are historically built for success in the playoffs. I think his fanboy glasses distort his ability to firmly grasp the fact, that not team ever built like the Leafs, has ever won a Cup. This doesn’t seem to register with him. If it did, he v wouldn’t keep setting himself up for disappointment.

[@ericanderson735]

Have fun on the good greens nice and early leaf’s. A non stop disappointment.

[@kolasillers7776]

Bunkis is strange surname.

[@semmcstevenson]

THAT was a goalie. FELIX!!!!!!! Clark and Gilmour played with broken bones, sore everything, teeth knocked out….. now? Um…… soft.

[@odoaceroftheneoromanempire7178]

It's great watching the Leafs fail and Matthews not showing up(in the case of game 5 most likely LITERALLY) in the playoffs AGAIN. After all the fawning from the Toronto media complex all season about Matthews scoring 70 and then for him both not to do it and then become snake bitten AGAIN in the playoffs is just tooo funny hahahaha. Cope you Leafoids.

[@00bikeboy]

Toronto fans are such egomaniacs. It's not just about the Leafs, the Bruins have a damn good team and they're hungry.

[@Jusypoobowl6024]

Hungrier*

[@garymoore5005]

the cat could steal it !

[@anthonybarlow1767]

Got to get a hot one from your goalie. I'm a Ranger fan and we play hyperactive hockey, but we also stuck to the structure against the Caps. Your guys are running around, trying too hard. Look at the Stars, they were getting picked off the the n-zone and countered on. But last night , they got it in deep and went to cycle. It's all about structure and adjustments. The Leafs are fighting against themselves.🏒❤️🥂
