Post-Game Talk: At least we got a point

[Papi 4 Hart]

People get upset because Rangers are one of teams we are gonna be battling against for 1 of 2 wildcard spots .. Sens and Habs are non playoff teams .. we have easiest 9 game Oct start to season and already gave up 3 points to field

We will have 100+ points and be far out of any playoff race. Sit back, relax and enjoy the season.

 

[VanW27]

Its 4 games and 3 of the goalies were NHL caliber, Shestyorkin is a likely Vezina candidate sooner than later. Take a deep breath bud, 4 games into a new season with a ton of roster turnover.

Not arguing the general point, but we've only played 3 goalies

Shestyorkin
Forsberg x2
Allen

And you could make a pretty strong case that Forsberg is not a NHL caliber goalie, waived multiple times just last year, career 3.19GAA and .904sv%, has never had a winning record, career record of 16W - 35L

 

[Bluelines]

The score and stats(FOW and SOG) does not tell story of that game. Rangers could have easily been ahead 4-0 at the first buzzer, a couple of posts and fluky plays kept the puck out.

The team has been generally garbage every game this year. they look disorganized .. you'd think a vet team like ours would be able to carry over systems year over year. I get that it takes 3 to 4 weeks to establish systems but the guys who were on other teams last year have been generally the best players. Bunting, Sandin, Kampf all better than Tavares, Marner, Holl.

Lilly in one game has as many points as Marner after 4 games... WTF is that? I was not part of the lynch mob that was following Marner last summer but dang this guy has been horrid this year. Tavares useless absolutely horrible. Play hockey forget the noise.

You're seriously worried? WTF is the matter with you people?

Completely irrelevant and doesn't change the fact that Forsberg played great against us.

Even though as I stated I don't see Leafs making playoffs this year although I think it will be very very close .. I can still hope for da best

Dubas made smart pre covid moves.

He was counting on a semi honest global economy..

Well, he and many others, didn't read my book on corona viruses, in 2008.

Honest mistake, backfired on him.

I think he has done an incredible job in recovering...

He acquired Muzzin and JOHNNY jack Campbell...

For Jack shit..

He supposedly made one mistake, paying three super star hockey talents, the salaries of a guy sitting on the bench in the NBA..

Dubas will do...put that in your prayers.. takes about three seconds... Till he does it,the team is more entertaining than any team in the NHL..

Tanenbaum ain't lettng go of this talent any time soon...

Edit: You're right, we played Forsberg twice, my bad I thought Gustavsson was in net for game 2 against Sens. He had the game of his career in the first, we potted 3 in the second. Meh.

I wouldn’t be so sure of that. Lol.

 

[Nineteen67]

I think the only way the Leafs are not in a playoff battle is if they completely avoid injuries.

It’s a long season and theyll have guys like Kase, Kampf , Mrazek and maybe Campbell that could be joining Mathews and Nylander at the Olympics rather than resting.

 

[therealkoho]

I especially liked the comment about how Matthews was angry at Marner in the OT. Such perceptive fans in LeaFland, what I truly find amazing is that with that level of perception there aren't more gazillionaires, because betting Leafs game outcomes on Proline can be a lucrative business, especially with that level of awareness.

 

[therealkoho]

I think most do that. Ignore list just makes things confusing, IMO.

I wouldn't necessarily say that, reading some of the takes that are so ridulously poor I think actually diminishes my already low IQ.

[justloveleafs]

Zeke who is the best in the social media at seeing the grey in the black and white.. seems to see what I see..

A team that can steal the STANLEY CUP, when no one expects it....

 

[justloveleafs]

The book, expected all of this to come to dark sorry light, three years ago so in a cents, lol, sense, we were very wrong.

I see what DUBAS sees...Signing this bunting guy....Well, I will let my goodie zeke go on and on about that one.

DRESSING ROOM DRESSING ROOM DRESSING

location location

Sorry for swearing or cursoing, this is a serious TEAM in the making

As usual while the whining and complaining is at a max..

Place your bet...yer welcomed

Almost every nhl player knows how lucky he is, to come out of what we oldsters saw, a meat grinder nothing kind to it, it was make or DIE...

STILL is....its still make it or die. are these the best players in the world, no, not by a long shot, the best players in the world, could only handle keefe, dubas, rogers, tanenbaum for about 20 games

I CAN assure you, there are thousands of better hockey players than mitch marner...

THOUSANDS, but his dad built him for 140 games in a calendar year.

Break him down no shot, nothing vaive there at all...

I could go on and on, why bother, we have JACK the johnny Campbell...

Build around that..

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Thank god matthews is back. He is the true captain and engine to this team.

The entertainment factor our two $11 million centres provide could not be more different.

I would be surprised if we weren't in the top 3 for the Atlantic.

 

[Apex Predator]

Even though as I stated I don't see Leafs making playoffs this year although I think it will be very very close .. I can still hope for da best

if you don’t see the leafs making the playoffs this year do you think there will be turnover next season in the big 4 or management?

 

[Apex Predator]

LOL.

I don’t get why that’s an LoL.

it’s not crazy that they finish behind Tampa, Florida and Boston. Now your in a wild card spot fighting with some good teams from the Metropolitan.

 

[Nineteen67]

if you don’t see the leafs making the playoffs this year do you think there will be turnover next season in the big 4 or management?

Assuming there are no catastrophic events muddying the water, any result less than making the second round of the playoffs and Dubas is gone.

 

[Nineteen67]

I would be surprised if we weren't in the top 3 for the Atlantic.

Depth is my concern.

 

[Jojalu]

Why can't he finish for once?

He was on pace for over 30 goals last year.

Playoffs, preseason,, and so far 4 games this season he certainly is snakebit.

The narrative that Nylander is a better goalscorer(he is, but not as much as people think) is overblown. Marner has 2 less goals in less games played.

Nylander has a better shot and I believe he will pull away, but recency bias aside, Marner has scored at a pretty good clip for his career

 

[Apex Predator]

I don’t think Leaf fans has ever been this divided on a team.
