Why the f*** did he take Campbell out. Hasn't been great but the game wasn't on him.

So stupid... Keefe is starting to piss me off.
 
I'm disappointed in many players. Ritchie was brought in to replace Hyman. He doesn't skate. Has he even throw one check this year? Kerfoot is useless. Marner is useless. Nylanders last 3 games are crappy. Holl is...is...not as good as Marincin.

Keefe has made a huge mistake last night that cost us 2 points. Campbell should have played and give this game to Hutch. Keefe is one of the worst coaches in the league. He is afraid to sit players and hurt their feelings.

People say look at his record. Really? With that firepower anyone on these boards could coach this team by standing back and let them play. He has them playing under this structure that holds the skill back. Its a simple game. They have to outwork the opponent every night and the skill will show itself. Keefe needs to go, Dubas is a total idiot and got bent over at the negotiation table. Shanny went with Dubas instead of Hunter. Big mistake there.

I'm sick and tired of that greedy little suck Marner. Trade him.
 
The thing is when Dubas signed the players to those deals, they were looking great. Marner was coming off a career high season, Matthews is still worth his contract even if he's off to a slow start and Tavares was great when he signed. Conversely Nylander's contract was roundly criticised when he was signed and now almost everyone thinks he's a bargain. See how quickly things can change in a season or two? Everyone wanted Willy gone keep Marner and now everyone wants to trade Marner and keep Willy.

Who knows maybe by the end of the season people will like Marner again and if he shows up big in the playoffs assuming the Leafs make it there, then people will definitely be back on the love train for him.

As for Dubas I don't see many moves he's done that I really hate like I have with previous Leafs GMs.

It doesn't matter what fans think, it's not our job to weigh the pro's and con's of any contract or player. If my job was to run a team and build a competitive roaster you can bet your life that I would think very long and hard before tying up 40 million into 4 forwards and it would basically have to be a 110% sure bet, like 4 McDavids or something. Any 1 contract doesn't kill the team, it's the sum of them all that becomes impossible to overcome.
 
Blame the coach and GM all you want, the players, the guys making the big bucks, are showing zero effort. Being beat by 4 by a gutted Pens roster. Blaming the coach or GM is letting the players off easy.

My Pappy always said blame the guy that hired the incompetents. Why blame the players they clearly are losers that conned a know nothing GM that they had talent. I actually applaud the guys that could steal the shorts of MLSE. It looks good on them.
 
Keefe must've been read HF during the intermission. Finally seeing Bunting with Matthew's and Nylander. And he splits up Muzzin and Holl.
