Everything is happening so let’s do a live stream! PREORDER MY BOOK: https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/this-team-is-ruining-my/9781770414440-item.html
It's to bad he fit in well on 4th line. But they gave him a good go. Hopefully he can succeed. The 4th line has seemed to win a lot of battles this year
I realize this is a minor deal in the big picture. But I do NOT like this deal. Leivo brings more of what the Leafs need than Ennis. We already have 3 better versions on Tyler Ennis on the squad. Leivo was an absolute pro through everything tho. Hope he kills it in BC
That tweet about Sprong was BRUTAL đ now he gets to go hang out with Randy âGood oneâ Carlyle. Poor guy, he just couldnât find a groove with the Pens but as a Penguins fan I can honestly say that almost no Penguin has found any kind of groove or swagger this season (save for Crosby these past couple weeks). So maybe it wasnât his fault. And for Leivo, I donât love that move. The Leafs are not exactly loaded with grit and size and guys that can dig pucks out of the trenches, Josh would not have been the player Iâd have moved but then again Iâm not a GM and never will be. Just always liked Leivoâs play and he really was pushing the play on the 4th line
Leivo was an awesome pro for the past 3 years. I think this was a trade to give Leivo his chance on a team that will hopefully use him and let him have a chance to show what he can really do. Hey Steve, love the impression of Babcock. Great job.
One downside for losing Leivo is that the leafs lose some grit that could have been beneficial during the playoffs, the skill for the leafs is obviously there but a rental like Simmonds could really add some pure toughness
So, @SteveDangle ……21 teams are out of it. To be honest, ~ half the teams are in trouble. I've recently started thinking fewer teams would make a better game and better players. In fact, lets make two leagues! One skilled, fast and dainty (No hitting or fighting of course); and the other, skilled, fast and gladiators. Naturally, we will pay one more than the other because it makes sense. Further more, I know which league I'm watching.
A player from Ontario playing in the Q isnât uncommon, itâs actually very common. Also Sprong has been known to be a cancer to be around. A coworkers brother who I used to play with, played on his wing in the Q and he wasnât well liked there
If Leivo was given the same opportunity that Ennis did playing Mathews at the beginning of the season, he would have done so much better then Ennis who failed terribly!!
Sorry to see Leivo leave, because he is 5 inches and 31 lbs bigger the Ennis and he has some grit/sandpaper, something this team needs!!

Wasn't there a 2nd trade? Losing Levo sucks, but what's the other trade?

Give me your hoodie
Where did you live stream this on??
Maybe loose brown to gain cap space for next season!?
Leivo had some real size and grit. REAALLLY woulda rathered see someone else go. I thought Marincin would be gone.
If he has any Italian in his blood he will be a good player. Go Leafs Go!!! and Welcome Carcone.
watch him get glued to horvat and have a 15-20 goal season.
Josh Leivo = healthy Joffrey Lupul = A very good player. I am very surprised. 2008 – 2013 is Brian Burke draft pick in 2011 (86th overall).
"Minors?"
"No, Miners."
Hey Steve I have that same sweater!

Should have waived the goat if that was an option

Daniel Sprong shouldâve been the one that went to Toronto in the Kessel deal. Not Kapanen

Josh Leivin for a Boeser Life
Cap hit form Lebo
"…really tal'ted pl'yers"
Say whatever you want, Steve. You're a good boy đ
I am sad Josh was traded also………wish him the BEST!

Canât wait to see what he can do. Good player but weâll see how much of a good player he is now
Leivo scores in his first game with Vancouver!!
If Leivo was given the same opportunity that Ennis did playing Mathews at the beginning of the season, he would have done so much better then Ennis who failed terribly!!

Thanks for Leivo he has been a beast so far
