GDT: 11/30/24 - 7:00PM EDT - Toronto vs Tampa Bay

There's an element of that, for sure. But why not try to shake things up in a big way in the meantime rather than going on with one step forward and one step back?

What's your solution?

 

[Point21]

Vasy has to have that one

 

[Todd1a]

Vasy blows can we get woll ?

 

[Bartleby]

What's your solution?

I think I've been pretty clear. Fire Coop. Bring in a ball buster and see if some cages get rattled. What's the downside if this is the trajectory we're on anyway?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

The first game against Toronto was embarrassing and this one's not looking any better.

 

[The Gongshow]

Vasy, you are cheeks

Vasy has to have that one

Should have had the other 3, too

 

[Stammertime91]

4GAA-ilevskiy!

I'm convinced my nephew has a shot at scoring on our goalies right now.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Guentzel with some strong play on the puck there

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Bro...... Vasy what the f***

 

[Todd1a]

Imagine if our 9.5 mill Goalie did the same as *checks notes* A Goalie paid 3.66mill

That’s why you don’t over pay goalies

 

[DaBolts]

Ugh.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

There's been way too many "(insert opposing teams cheap avv goaltender) outplayed Vasy" for my liking these last 2 years. You don't win em all but Vasy isn't a game changer anymore

I mean.... Yeah but at the same time there is truth there.

 

[Ducati Boy]

So why was Tomcat sent back down?

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

So why was Tomcat sent back down?

Because he sucks

 

[ccman68]

Leafs figured out Vasy years ago. Feels like we should have a goalie coach or something that can fix this shit but I guess not.

 

[Bob and 200 others]

Because he sucks

So does Vasy

 

[Powerplay17]

Stammer and Serge both needed to go and now I feel the same about Vazy. $9.5 for this shit? Time to find a taker (good luck btw) for that salary that could certainly be used better than this nonsense.

 

[Bob and 200 others]

Leafs figured out Vasy years ago.

So did the rest of the nhl

 

[Rschmitz]

No way to sugarcoat it, Vasy hasn't had a great couple of games now.

If the league has truly figured him out, that means there is tape and he can fix whatever the hole is. Used to be his size alone and being in the right position would stop pucks, but my god he's been swiss cheese.

 

[Bob and 200 others]

No way to sugarcoat it, Vasy hasn't had a great couple of seasons now.

Ftfy

 

[Felonious Python]

Too much turkey

 

[Tampa22]

Hard to watch this team and even more without enforcers, seems like everyone is doing fine, nobody with heart trying to send a message. Lack of passion from the players and the fans who paid a ticket to see your team losing and nobody cares. The Captain is inexistent...

 

[Stammertime91]

I think I've been pretty clear. Fire Coop. Bring in a ball buster and see if some cages get rattled. What's the downside if this is the trajectory we're on anyway?

Bring in a ball buster... who?

I'm not on the fire Cooper train at all. I dont know what you want him to do when half his forward group is allergic to scoring and are redundant pieces. Nothing in half the forward group moves the needle. The reunion of McD and Cernak isn't panning out the way we had hoped. Our goaltending is underwhelming and that's probably being kind.

Cooper knows how to win and in the end that's what is important. Of course messages go stale but we've also depleted too many winners from this roster that were leaders in unique ways. It's a lousy, mediocre team that has no identity whatsoever apart from "Nikita Kucherov." Our special teams aren't even a strong point anymore. That's not Cooper, that's the reality of the salary cap and JBB taking fliers on low risk guys that aren't providing shit.

Girgensons, Atkinson, Sheary, Eyssimont, Glendening, Goncalves, and Chaffee aren't going to help you get over the top. These guys aren't leaders and apart from Eyssimonts heart (which doesn't equal goals), Glendenings faceoffs and Chaffee's potential, that group is ass.

 

[Rschmitz]

Ftfy

Before his last two games he was top 3 in GAA and top 5 in save%

It was looking like things had turned around for him.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Acknowledge Me!

Man I acknowledge you all day. But I refuse to acknowledge Roman as anything but a draw. He is mid at best skill wise. Boring as shit kicking out of everything and spamming finishers. With safety and work he's an A. I'll give him that
