GDT: Florida @ Toronto - Tuesday 7pm

Yes. A meaningless Jan game has as much impact on our playoffs as our bad October did. But let's ignore the 90% of the season we've played elite hockey

They played Elite hockey 90% of the time last year too.

Boston just doesn't do that. They came out after the hard fought Saturday game and destroyed the Flyers.

That’s why they’re the class of the league this year. No let up.

A couple of observations from an outsider:

1-You can tell when Murray is tracking the puck well and when he's not. When he's not, he's off his angle and too deep in the net because he doesn't have confidence of where the shot is going.

2-Why does Rielly go deep into the offensive zone so much? It's like he's decided he's a forward now. I understand that offensive defensemen jump into the play from time to time, but it seems like Rielly's way too often going behind the opposition red line and vacating his D position.

Go back to the mains troll

Bo Horvat will channel is inner Bergereon if he ends up in Boston

Horvat should be a Leafs

yea that happens I can see them winning a cup lol

I know the game is not over but this is shaping up to be 3 in a row and the worst part is how bad Murray is

Horvat will never come to Toronto.

Knowing Dubas he will find some useless 4th line slugs and Keefe probably won't play those guys come playoff times.

Reilly has always played like a forward

Don’t think he’s in game shape

Toronto goal by Ellis. Assisted by Ullman and Henderson.

Never judge a team at their best or their worst. Right now we're at our worst stretch of the season which isn't even that bad. Relax.

that team you can see the culture is way different they give no f***s, they go out there and play 60 mins, also they have a very good duo with Ullmark, and Swayman, but honestly f*** Boston lol

 

[GQS]

Interesting to see some Leafs fans wanting to trade for Gudas and other Leafs fans glad that he isn't on this team.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Not good numbers

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Tavares and marner are going to do better in the second. And in the dirty third. They are minus 2 and still standing. What!!!

 

[KPower]

How’s everybody this evening?

Exactl, no lame excuse that it is meaningless January games. They act like winners, us not so much

How’s everybody this evening?

Losing

For people who are skeptical of the Leafs as championship contenders, it just comes down to the underlying human factor - a lack of trust in the key players. High ceiling, low floor and let downs at very predictable times. Under estimate weak opponents, no show to gimmie games, melt under pressure. When you see similar trends it doesn’t give you a lot of confidence a Game 7 won’t produce the same results.

Miss that

 

[fahad203]

Rogers actually has a SVP role for Sustainability?

 

[Burnie97]

They cave against physical teams and play scascared

We'll see what happens in the second. I think that was more leafs just playing like shit then anything. Murray let in a brutal softy and their powerplay... sure they got one but it sucked. The coverage on D isn't great and some forwards are not back checking very well. Alot of self inflicted shit that period.

[Ianturnedbull]

Hey TOR,

FLA is trailing you in the standings. Time to wake up a tad...

 

[ACC1224]

I am fine with being upset at losing or bad play. The toxic part is people just go over the top. Murray could have 10 shutouts in a row and then a start like tonight and half the posts are like "you are never winning with this AHL goalie! Fire Dubas!!!"

Exhausting

Yeah we remember that one guy wanting Dubas fired for trading Douglas. Talk about hot takes

Sure. Meanwhile I've been consistently defending teh team the past few years. I'm the last person to be calling out for this

Such a welcoming response.
