If we could get a f***ing save we'd be fine. But our goaltending has shit the bed in the most egregious way to coincide with a bit of an offensive slump. The guys were hungry as all hell coming out of Edmonton to prove that they were the real deal and then our goalies just HURRR DUUURRRRRR and after enough of that it broke the team's spirit. Now they've lost confidence and are spiraling. It'll be a short spiral, the goalies aren't this bad, but f***'s sakes Dubas has to be sweating right now. We need to see some results and goaltending is this team's gigantic sore spot right now. I don't think he wants to hinge his career on Andersen bouncing back. I barely want to hinge my f***ing Friday or Saturday evening on Andersen bouncing back.
This isn't the mainboards where you'll get 5 likes for disagreeing with the Leafs fans. Don't tell us our .900 starting goalie is solid for us this year. He's sucking dirty pond water.
No worries if you want to come in here and browse around to drink salty Leafs fans tears. We all do it to you guys when you're losing too. But commenting is not cool.
Hello to the 25 Oiler fans (and other fanbases too!) reading this but not commenting. Keep on enjoying hockey and thanks for not being "that guy".

If a goalie has to steal a game, it means the 20 guys in front of him are sucking ass. I'd rather the skaters steal us a game and the goalie be a non factor. There is no team in the North that can man for man stand up against the Leafs in terms of talent. It's matter if our talent will out work the other team.
If a team loses the goalie is always the problem, in every league, in every city. It's easy and convenient to pin the goat horns on the goalie when the team plays like shit.

Dude didn't say anything off base, in fact I think he was dead on with the fatigue thing.

It looks like we won the Cup in that three game sweep of Edmonton, and now the players are relaxing until next season.

When it's that time in the season where things tighten up, the Leafs show who they are. BUT I'm still optimistic

I'm hear to Bitch about Mo Rielly not being able to clear the puck on that 4th goal and using that muffin shot to completely miss the net with under a minute to go.

Im here to bitch that Keefe needs to put the lines together that were successful instead of juggling them all the time.
Thornton-Matthews-Marner
Simmonds-Tavares-Nylander
Hyman-Engvall-Micheyev
Kerfoot- Boyd-Spezza
The 3rd line should remain in place for the rest of the season. Hyman boosts the overall lineup playing there.

It's easy to be lazy and not realize the fact that Fred has had only 9 quality starts all year and start a commotion that everyone else is wrong.

I’m so glad they have 5 days until the next game. I’m sure it will work wonders for them. There was a degree of frustration in their game the last few that was not there the entire season to that point. The break will be good for them. They need to calm down

Hello fellow downers,
When I saw Tkachuk dance and Batherson and Stutzle blow kisses, it reminded me of simpler times when Marner and Matthews sang "Living on a Prayer" and I thought we were entering the legendary years. That was four and a half years ago.
Another miserable thought.....imagine we get hit with COVID?
Thank you and have a miserable day,

just a little perspective for those of you that think this is a deeper rooted problem than just a 6 game slide.
also here is a snap shot of a 6 game stretch last year of the Tampa Bay Lighting schedule. A similar stretch like this also happened at the end of October/start of November for them. Just in case you are not aware, they ended up winning the Stanley Cup
Good teams go through bad stretches. Good teams get foiled by great goaltending. Good teams lose to teams they should beat. Lets take a deep breath and reserve panic for if this slide ends up putting us out of the playoff picture. the team is 19-8-2. They can afford to lose a handful of games. This regular season is meaningless, I literally couldn't care less where we finish in the standings as long as we get through the Canadian div in playoffs
Team is fine really except Jumbo who is quite frankly an anchor on either top line ... and our tending is not adequate
We got slightly outplayed last 2 games but only slightly ... both games solid tending would have got us a tie in each game but we did not get it ...
I think we will bring in a bid bad fast no 7 forechecking winger and another vet defender to help for playoff push ... Soupy will be fine to get us through north division if he can stay healthy

Will Liljegren and Sandin ever get to play in Toronto. If not, why not trade them?
We can't afford to bring in raw rooks in a year we are going for it ... it is really that simple

Why not wait until they are ready?
Missed shot wasn’t he on the ice for like almost the last 5 minutes of the game give him break

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
We've hit a low point in our season. That being said, of the 5 losses in our last 6 games, we really only played poorly the last 2 games.
Our number one priority moving forward has to be addressing the goaltending situation. Having Campbell available after the break should help, but he may not stay healthy down the stretch.

Some technical discussion with things that Andersen is struggling with. Also worth noting that Andersen’s expected post-save stick taps to defenders are way lower than Campbell's.

Defeat does not rest lightly on their shoulders
I’m going to bitch to all of you who tore me apart and shunned me and cancelled me and you all made me cry

I've honestly lost the will to watch this team as long as the goaltending is not addressed. The games vs Vancouver and first 2 against Winnipeg the effort was great, I loved the system we were playing and the guys worked hard. The last 2 not so much. The Winnipeg game was pretty bad, they played decent..but not great. And despite the shitty 3 calls at the end I felt we still deserved to lose that one. This one against Ottawa was just pathetic again, you gotta find a way to win and to make a save. I don't fault Freddy on the 1 timer goal, Muzzin had more than enough time to clear it and doesn't. The second one though, gives a huge rebound off a weak point shot. It's not just the goals against it's his play that's pissing me off. Always out of position, slides completely out of the net, just beyond frustrated. Will not watch a game until Dubas gets off his ass and does something. Or maybe until I'm done being emotional 
what are they 21? Sandin should make the top 6 next season, I dunno if Liljegren is nhl ready yet and he maybe packaged iff in a deal for a forward
