It use to be the Leafs could find ways to get points out of games where they weren't playing their best, but now they're finding ways lose points even when they're leading in games.

I disagree, the Leafs showed up and played hard against a very good team
They're just not good enough
If Tre didn’t extend him he may well have fired him by now. How bad would that be, new GM extends you for 2 years and then cans you before it even starts. Lol
Shanny , Keefe and Treliving should be gone. Enough is enough
To be fair Bertuzzi and Domi are much leas of a worry than Marner, Tavares, Giordano, Brodie and Samsonov. They've all lost the ability to play hockey.

I'd actually file tonight under "pretty good road effort" but there's a lot of gross stuff that this team won't be able to overcome.
Blueline is either too old, too dumb. Transition game is completely broken. Brodie and Gio are so cooked. McCabe is a real adventure but you appreciate his snarl.
Nylander has just stopped skating. Not nearly as assertive skating hard and with the puck.
JT was trying but he looks like a crash and bang third liner.
Matthews and Marner came out so dominant but when the heat got turned up, I dunno.
Rielly was a beast.
Jarnkrok, Domi, Bertuzzi, Knies. They all just seem to be fading into 4th liners who can't make plays, though Bert was unlucky in the first with that stuffed post.
Jones, pretty solid, but just leaky enough.
Bad team is bad. They are going to struggle picking up points on this road trip and I think heads will roll and we'll accept this team is not making the playoffs.

Where is the team spirit in that. I am sure we can find a 1st the throw away on some rental.

They said we've scored 8 goals this season after pulling our goalie, that's incredible. Maybe that's a record?
The Oilers haven't lost a game since we had warm weather in Toronto, the fact that we almost got a point from them in their house is yet another sign of how great this team is. And let's not forget, @Evilhomer guaranteed we'd be taking over 1st place in the Atlantic in January, I can't be bothered to do the math ATM but I'm guessing this means we're guaranteed to win the rest of our games in January.
Fun times just around the corner, the rest of the league must be shaking in their boots right about now, especially Calgary.

Didn't matter with Babcock and Keefe ain't making as much as him.
The new GM sucks. Laughable that anyone thought he was better than Dubas.

Actually it’s smart to not fire Keefe right now from his POV. The longer he can keep Keefe the longer his own leash becomes. He will likely only get one more coach before his head is next on the chopping block.
Mentally weak
Poorly coached
Zero leadership
No fight
Gutless unlikable boys

There was a point in the third when it was great to hear both fan bases chanting for their respective team. That was fun.

we scored 2 f***ing goals
your excuses for the team gets real tiring when you blame the goalie every single game.
Unless it is a 4 on 0 with gretzky, lemieux, howe, and orr coming, it must be a bad goal
we scored 2 goals, both from the top line. 2nd line has been so awful the last 4 games, should've dealt nylander when we had the chance, he's returned to his lazy shit play. tavares cannot play top 6 hockey anymore, knies is in over his head
defence was pathetic on goal 2 and 3.

They collected a lot of points they didn’t deserve earlier. Now they’re blowing leads before they get to extra time. Karma or something for playing such ass hockey to close out gamesIt use to be the Leafs could find ways to get points out of games where they weren't playing their best, but now they're finding ways lose points even when they're leading in games.

im pretty sure willy can be traded up until his new contract kicks in, just saying.
contract was a mistake from the jump.

I can almost guarantee he’s not calling the shots. Shanahan is
