[Beyonder91]

Slew foot on Kappy. No call of course.

 

[Gallagbi]

Boy there's an awful lot of holding going on

 

[Maplebeasts]

not this game. But he never should've been signed after the **** he pulled. The results speak for themselves. We've been worse with him. We lose tonight....we're sub .500 with him back

Imagine being silly enough to think the fourth most talented forward on this team not signing is a better option.

 

[mcleex]

Matthews tripped behind the net

 

[thewave]

You can criticize Nylander's December and January all you want but he's been terrific in February.

Outside of the goals he looks more like the 11.6m player. Matthews looks freaking lazy, he just gets the feed and scores.

 

[PromisedLand]

Dude, stop. He's been our best player during this stretch. Let it go ffs.

This is a lie! Production matters. goals and points win you gamesl not corsi or zone entries

naz and patty have dropped their pace a bit; but marner, johnsson, kappy have picked it up significantly. furthermore, tavares has already potted 64 pts (compared to 97 pts from bozo+jvr); now you add the production of kappy/or/ johnsson to tavares 64+37 or 32 thats easily matched bozak+jvr (almost) with still 22 games to go. basically tavares and inclusion of johnsson and emergence of kappy has significantly imrpved scoring even though marleau and kadri have slowed a bit; but marner beasting (already matching his last season) and matthews projected to exclipse his last season's production we are already much better in terms of offense.

Nylander on the other hand stands out like a sore thumb; he needs to start producing numbers-> corsi+zone entries are not going to win games; things that influence outcome of the games i.e. goals and assists will provide a lot of help.

Willy has seem to be getting better now he needs to produce points -> production matters!!

 

[LastOne2100]

I recognize the effort, but have to say Nylander has been looking good while actually accomplishing very little.

He needs to be with players that aren't Brown and Marleau.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Down 2 goals we either have to give him one of Johnsson/Kappy or Matthews right now.

It's asinine that he's playing with 2 anchors when he's been so dominant. The only bigger insult would be to put Lindholm on his line.

 

[Trapper]

We truly need players like brown nylander lindholm and others. Who do nothing special for the team. No hits, no talk, no forecheck, nothing. Team wrongfully built. Not for tha playoffs. Mcquaid, glendeling and clifford are coming in. Or we lose. MARK MY WISE WORDS I've seen it all. I ****ed it all. Everything. I know LIFE:

We got rid of to many hard suckas too fast with no replacement coach. Guys who play full out up and down.

 

[Tlo1]

Take a man Reilly! Wtf!

 

[Kamiccolo]

Just think if we are saying all these things about the coaches, what are the players saying? I am sure there are some uber video's behind the scenes.

 

[garce]

Leafs do not draw penalties, only serve penalties

 

[Coachcorner]

Andersen is REAL.

This team is not. NO HARDNESS. at all. NO PLAYOFFS spirit or energy. Not enough. Need different players learn about life.

 

[Coachcorner]

Andersen is REAL.

[Brock Radunske]

DJ Smith needs to be fired

 

[Leafblooded]

The quick strike cherry picking offensive mentality and the soft as butter 'active' stick waving and fly bys instead of taking the body is why we functionally suck.

 

[Superstar]

No sustain pressure...stretch pass turnovers killing momentum.

 

[ryno23]

Tatar grabs kappy pulls him down no call.i wonder if the NHL told refs earlier this year to notcall many toronto power playeds after they went 50 % to start the year lol

 

[Chief keefe]

27 shots.... half way though the game

 

[yubbers]

Imagine being silly enough to think the fourth most talented forward on this team not signing is a better option.

Imagine ignoring reality. Sorry the facts support my position and not yours We've been worse with him. And his production is laughable

We have enough soft wingers. I would've let him sit and targeted Simmonds. Everyone laughed at me. Not looking so crazy now

 

[Leaf4Life]

Down 2 goals we either have to give him one of Johnsson/Kappy or Matthews right now.

Not until he becomes a real gud pro

 

[Throw More Waffles]

What's he on pace for this last month? Because that'd be the relevant point to his comment.

In the month of Februrary, he's on pace for 37 points over 82, and 14 goals. Our "best player" in February.

 

[Cor]

We should get Ennis working on face offs, and waive Lindholm, bring up Moore.

When Kadri comes back, a 4th of Moore-Ennis-Brown would be interesting to watch. Quick, all have high motors.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Matthews leading the forwards in TOI.

Yeah, let's just ignore the fact that he didn't play a single NHL game for EIGHT MONTHS on top of no practice in that time with the team.

 

[tt77]

can muzzin make himself useful please?

 

[Throw More Waffles]

How can he perform up to his level when you put that nasty, pathetic, disgraceful plug Marleau plus Brown with him? Two of the worst anchors in the league. Marleau can't even keep up in an alumni game. Sad sack of ****.

Oh, so you're saying Nylander can't carry a line and had padded stats due to playing with Matthews? Fully agree.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Zach Hyman has a very unique skill of making every pass he receives hop up onto its edge. It's Jedi-like.
