GDT: Dallas @ Toronto - Tuesday - 7PM - TSN

Honestly who would rather have:

Muskoka Five

Or

TikTok 5

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Thank god they put the 5 forward PP back together so someone could feed Marner for a weak unscreened clapper from the point.

 

[HockeyMad68]

Too bad we do not have a power play

 

[MoreMogilny]

Do they even pay attention when the coach is drawing shit up or just think they know better and ignore it?

No they just can't read

 

[Stephen]

I thought this is why Reaves is dressed?

Reaves has no role on this team.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Reaves should have done something long ago to be useful

The only thing I remember him doing this year was his hit on Nurse. Zero fights this year is ridiculous for someone like him.

 

[rdogg]

NO chance this team wins the Atlantic. Hell, they look like an 18 wheeler with some busted up wheels.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Auston get real, what are you going to do about Jamie Benn?

Him snapping and punching him in the face might actually be the spark that gets this team where it needs to. Doesn't have it in him sadly

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Need to go all in by the deadline!!!!

 

[Racer88]

Eye test AND statistics say the Leafs are (one of) the worst passing team(s) in the league.

I think it was Bournie the other day had a stat where the Leafs are ranked 28th in the league in scoring changes resulting from a pass.

That is an incredible stat.

Even with Marner the god passer

I believe it. That’s the biggest issue with the PP. You saw Matthews teed up Marner and he got two shots, for some reason tgey can’t put it on a tee for Matthews or Nylander.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Hindsight is always unfair, but Dubas was an absolute disaster... absolute!

f*** I wish we made some serious changes after the Columbus series. You could see it unfolding this way all the way back then.

 

[wingman75]

Don’t forget Shanny was ready with an extension offer for Dubie.

It's become crystal clear where this mess originates. He does not own it all, but his part in the mess is under-credited.

Imagine it taking 9 seasons and 8 first round losses for a guy to get canned.

That management group wasted three top talents... that is hard to do.

Not surprised. Been like this for a while

that's something mackinnon or draisaitl would do

f***ing hell be dirty like kucherov and do something

the p***y 4 are so annoying to watch

 

[yubbers]

Time to waive him honestly

 

[Mugzy97]

Someone needs to attack Benn. Game is over and he’s taking cheap shots at our captain. I’ll be disappointed if he gets away with that

 

[wingman75]

f*** I wish we made some serious changes after the Columbus series. You could see it unfolding this way all the way back then.

Didn't want to believe it, but yes, it clearly was. Ugh.

 

[Evilhomer]

Oops our contenders are now down 3-1

4-1. Sellers at the deadline. It's over.

 

[PromisedLand]

More proof you can't go all in this year.

I really doubt we can go "all in" if we stay status quo and so to speak run it back again with resigning both tavares and marner overpaying

I really hope they see their playoff output before even thinking of discussing extensions

 

[HockeyVirus]

This is what our coaches are like rn

 

[Stephen]

Povitol season point upcoming. Do they turn around or continue suck. It is entirely possible they are not that good.

We have 4x guys basically making $11 million each and zero superstar impact, and our cheap superstar goaltending has just turned into cheap goaltending. Between those two ends of the ice, everything is okay. Except Rielly. He sucks too.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Or Malkin. I've even seen McDavid get more fired up than Matthews.

 

[MSZ]

NO chance this team wins the Atlantic. Hell, they look like an 18 wheeler with some busted up wheels.

Division title is meaningless. They faced Montreal, Columbus and the 17th seed Florida(Calgary actually had more points than them but missed the playoffs) and lost all 3 series.

 

[wingman75]

Not surprised. Been like this for a while

It has, I find it is just underreported as a key factor as to why this team cannot generate scoring chances in tight games. It's because when the puck carrier generates the scoring chances and the other team is closing that down, we are unable to create any quick chances off passes.

It's not going to change... :-(
