GDT: Leafs @ Chicago - Wednesday 7:30

[BrannigansLaw]

This is going to be a blowout if they don’t start playing soon enough.

 

[Morgs]

It's insane to me this team's defense went from a top 1/3rd team last season to almost an unplayable top-4

 

[NightTrain1]

The season is young.

Yeah they really seeming to be outdoing themselves which each passing game eh.

 

[Kurtz]

Remember when Dubas protected Justin Holl at the expansion draft?

That was justifiable - everyone on here was on board with it.

But protecting Kerfoot over Mccann was crazy.

 

[Anthrax442]

Can we stop. with the f***IN. drop passes. into nowhere

 

[egd27]

This is so embarrassing as a leafs fan.

Just another day in Leafland

 

[MarnerElite]

Don't be fooled into thinking that this is simply a work ethic issue. It's only small part of it. Just isn't a good team and it's gotten progressively worse since we traded away useful players for very shitty ones...I'm also shocked how bad Keefe is(even though he's trying different things). For example, why not try a guy like Spezza on the top line? Bunting doesn't seem to be doing anything except getting in the way and basically ruining plays. With Spezza you actually get a guy who can make plays...Now you basically have a guy on the 4th line who has to carry the other 2 incompetent ones(Simmonds very similar to Bunting...pucks just keep bouncing off him...work ethic basically not doing shit and Spezza is just wasted there)...Unreal...

 

[TakeTheBody]

You bring back the same team. You bring back the same ghosts. These guys are talented but I question them above the shoulders. They play to the opposition. Proving you aren't mentally tough enough. If you aren't mentally tough enough then you can't handle the ghosts of present past and future. Especially at Halloween.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Just play Bunting the rest of the game.

 

[hamzarocks]

Matthews starting to use his shot, which is good to see at least

 

[Cameraguy]

It's ok Ed Rogers is going to fire Dubas tonight lol.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Please remind me once again why we protected Holl and not McCann ??

Every one of our D is worse than last year so far. Bogo > Dermott and Lily and last year Dermott > Sandin.

Because if they didn't, people would be saying Dubas was an idiot for losing a top 4 D and our top 4 is downgraded after how good they were

 

[ottomaddox]

Leafs have no answer for the hawks?

 

[DopeyFish]

That was justifiable - everyone on here was on board with it.

But protecting Kerfoot over Mccann was crazy.

he didn't protect kerfoot

seattle chose mccann over kerfoot. mccann was brought in to hedge.

 

[supermann_98]

Matthews wrist isn't even healthy yet, you see that wrister of his in the slot right there? Made Marner's shot look like Brett Hull

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Lol no. Marner still getting chances and playing fine defensively. Long way before he gets on Jones' level.

Jones is simply incapable of being on the ice without his team getting caved.

You're living in an alternate reality, aren't you?

 

[Canadian Finn]

Just another day in Leafland

Everyday is groundhog day

 

[Kiwi]

Yup but it doesn't help when the goalie is shaky

It doesn't help when your "shutdown" pair turn into turnips either

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It's insane to me this team's defense went from a top 1/3rd team last season to almost an unplayable top-4

Hakstol must have been a genius

 

[D00bis]

Who would take him at this rate?

Someone equally as stupid as the leafs

 

[definedMF]

Watched the Holl bluff, thats the last bit of leafs hockey I am watching in some time. Unless they win the next 74 I'm so sick of this garbage.

 

[Nylander88]

That was justifiable - everyone on here was on board with it.

But protecting Kerfoot over Mccann was crazy.

He didn't protect Kerfoot

 

[Coachcorner]

Simmonds and bunting kinda twerkin that thang and pesting it out.... but where the hell is our SCESORING sire???? We ain't scoring with our 40 f***in million.

 

[mikeyz]

It's insane to me this team's defense went from a top 1/3rd team last season to almost an unplayable top-4

You can't count last year when you consider that every Canadian team was a dumpster fire.

 

[horner]

Its getting tougher and tougher waiting for my original timeline of 30 games before deciding what this team really is

2-5-1 record, we are falling heavily behind in the playoffs race. At least we have our 1st round pick this year, but missing the playoffs will be almost as embarrassing as the 3-1 habs choke

We need 99 pts to get to 96pts by the end of the season .
Blow it up

 

[keonsbitterness]

@Dekes For Days, comments on this disaster?

All our players are underpaid, something something something.
