Okay, with that horrible loss yesterday (courtesy of Vesa Toskala, I hope he dies in a fire), we can all agree that Vesa should never ever EVER play a single game as a Maple Leaf again. As of now dumb fairweather Leafs fans are now hopping onto the bandwagons of top teams in the NHL. Apparently they don't understand the concept of "going down with the ship" (TWSS to get it out of the way). With that aside, I've wanted to single out a specific group of these tools. Not the Vesa lovers, everyone's given up hope on Vesa (that piece of S**T). Obviously with yesterday's game Pierre Mcguire has been drooling over the Sabres' defenseman Tyler Myers, to an extent that Pierre could care less that Luke Schenn is on the ice. NHL pundits are now going "Tyler Myers for Calder" (even though Tavares will most likely win, and I want a certain swede to win the calder) and saying he was a steal.  For a guy who was ranked highly by scouts, the fact that he dipped all the way down to 12th overall is odd. I won't deny that he's a good player.

Now for the Stupidity: People are already coming to a conclusion that Luke Schenn is a bust. Dumb analysts, stupid fans and soon enough Nick Kypreos will be going "oh he can't score AND play defense like Tyler Myers. He'll never have the same offensive upside Myers has." To put their stupidity in perspective: They're comparing two completely different players. It's like comparing Mike Green and his offensive skill to Robyn Regehr and his shutdown game. Comparing Schenn and Myers is the same thing: Two different defensemen, two different games. Schenn is a shutdown, Myers is a [very] big two-way defenseman. While the common ground is shutting down players, everything else isn't there. Myers isn't a guy who'll throw a big hit. Schenn will. Myers can play on the Powerplay. Schenn's on the ice against the top players. Which will lead me to ask the question (which should never, ever under any circumstances be asked again): What would the Leafs be like if they hadn't drafted Luke Schenn?

If you're wondering, i'm not anti-Schenn, he's a great player. I just wanna give a perspective of what could've happened if the Leafs had drafted someone else instead of Schenn. This means someone aside from Schenn or the top 3 players in the Draft (Stamkos, Doughty and Bogosian), and a notable player who's ranked high in the Draft standings

If the Leafs Drafted Alex Pietrangelo (as in the Blues took someone other than Pietrangelo), the Leafs would've had a solid two way defenseman. However he's not very comfortable playing at the NHL level yet (3 points, -9 and 8 PIMs in 17 NHL GP) and hasn't been great this season (he's a -9 this season).

If the Leafs Drafted Nikita Filatov, The Leafs would've hit the jackpot with a talented player. Also, Ron Wilson might not be as hard on Filatov as Ken Hitchcock was to Filatov. However Filatov might not have liked Ron Wilson's system and if he slipped up he might have wanted out to the KHL.

If the Leafs Drafted Colin Wilson, The Leafs would've had a guy with point-per-game talent, though a groin injury this season has slowed down Wilson (2 points in 10 NHL games, 4 points in 11 AHL games). This one is abit to hard to judge

If the Leafs Drafted Cody Hodgson, they could've had a francise center, though maybe not on the same level that Mats Sundin had reached. He was the OHL's MVP and the CHL player of the Year, as well as the Red Tilson Trophy, the OHL's version of the Lady Byng. However he's missed all of this season with a  back injury and has kept him out for a while, and for all we know he could miss Two years like Steve Sullivan (though Hodgson's injury is nerve related apparently, while Sullivan had a fragmented disc)

If the Leafs Drafted Tyler Myers, they would have Pierre Mcguire's boycrush, a guy who's won and can win (WHL playoff MVP with 20 points). Though how good would Myers look in front of a sieve instead of an Elite Goalie? My sentiments exactly

Now lets compare that to Luke Schenn. He made the team as an 18 year old. The Leafs used him to shut down top players (Heck Evgeni Malkin is still scared of him). He can throw a big hit. He was named to the NHL's All-Rookie team. None of those guys made the team in their Rookie year. A bad sophomore year means nothing. Point being: You can hate on Schenn as much as you want to, but you can't call him a bust after only 1 and a quarter of a season. If after 3 or 4 seasons he doesn't pan out to be a good player, you can call him a bust. In conclusion, the Leafs could (and would) be worse off if they didn't draft Schenn.

And a couple of words for any Leafs fans hopping on another team's bandwagon: YOU'RE NOT A LEAFS FAN
