GDT: Leafs @ Caps - 7:30 - SN

[TonsofPuppies]

Calling this team cheeks would be a compliment.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

We look terrible these past two games.

We need Matthews back and healthy or we have no shot.

Matthews ain't fixing this. He'll help but there's a lot more wrong than just missing him.

 

[wingman75]

They virtually are getting no depth through 17 games, it's a huge issue right now.. Stellar goaltending and quality d-zone play has kept them alive so far.

Our entire bottom 6 right now provides us nothing. We are legit a two line team right now, Treliving needs to find a way to acquire some scoring and quickly. It's been 17 games with the results below, "figuring out stage" passed us 7 games ago.

Holmberg = 1 point
Robertson = 1 point
Reaves = 1 point
Domi = 0 goals, 6 points
Loretnz = 3goals, 4 points.
McMann = 4 goals, 5points
Kampf = 3 assist, 3 points.

Yea, can't win like that.

They're more like the taint after a long hot sweaty day

 

[ULF_55]

Sundin, Kaberle, Darcy Tucker, Bryan McCabe and Pavel Kubina were entertaining.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Leafs, blue jays, and raptors.
We are cursed.

I just think they make terrible decisions. Go back to 2018 in Leafland and it was pretty much universally accepted that the Leafs would be reaching multiple finals very shortly.

Then Brendan made one decision and boom, damage done.

We all thought we were going to be the next dynasty.

It's a joke just how little we've accomplished when we started with such a great base.

Our offence is so dry

Needs a little oil

 

[Ports]

Slow of foot and not being very good at passing the puck is a bad combination. This team is not up to playing the heavy style of game that wins in the playoffs and has no offense outside of 5 players. They’re goaltending and defense has improved but all the money going to four skilled but soft forwards doesn’t fit with their overall plan. It’s going to take some balls and creativity for Treliving to make the necessary changes because it has to be obvious by now that this core group will never get it done.

Time for knies to pot one.

Fans of other teams did as well. In their Out of Town Threads they were all sitting themselves about what the Leafs were about to become.

It's crazy things went the way they did.

It actually takes some real work to mess up where we were after the Caps series loss.

 

[Goose]

I didn't realize how bad Canada's goaltending situation was until I heard that list, yikes.

 

[Ports]

McCabe fumbled the puck twice on consecutive shifts

That’s the problem with the team. Or one of them. NO puck talent on the back end. An ancient OEL and an overplayed Rielly are nothing compared to contending teams who have actual talent on the back end.

OEL is hardly ancient. If they had another 3 like him they’d be way better off.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Time for knies to pot one.

Guess he's not due for $7 million a year now.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Sundin, Kaberle, Darcy Tucker, Bryan McCabe and Pavel Kubina were entertaining.

Roberts was entertaining

 

[Racer88]

Yup it’s seems like so long ago that we thought this build was going to be a good one then boom Dubas happened.

 

[torontoblood]

I'd like to see them reel off a huge 12-16 game run after struggling a bit early, but I don't think that's happening this year.

Its going to be win 2, lose 3, win 4, lose 2.

Forever.

1993-94 was actually the Last season that the leafs had a long consecutive winning streak. They won the first 10 games of that season (oct 7-oct 28 1993)

It was also the longest winning streak of their entire history

Don’t expect them to go on a 15-game winning run anytime soon unfortunately

it's impressive how invisible nylander and marner look

$11 million for what?

 

[3blizzard4]

it's impressive how invisible nylander and marner look

They just need a 12 million dollar guy to get them going. No biggie.

 

[fahad203]

it's impressive how invisible nylander and marner look

This team is a phenomena. When one player is hot everyone is hot. When they are cold everyone is cold

We are the ultimate team team

 

[Racer88]

it's impressive how invisible nylander and marner look

They are like hockey ninja’s

 

[Aashir Mallik]

we look so f***ing washed

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

We don't even have a high volume of shots. FFS.
