Bingo. When they beat Boston on Thursday, no one will remember this game.

NOT TRUE. I will still be pissed at the lack of effort fully on display by our Leafs tonight.

Out-worked, out-coached, and out-classed the entire game !!! Coming home off of a n extended road trip is NO EXCUSE to not match the intensity of the visiting team.

If our core 4 doesn't dominate and score, our bottom six forwards are NOT GOOD ENOUGH because we lack the cap room to hire better players. Our core 4 are overpaid and overrated IMHO.

Our D-group is not nearly good enough either. Again, that is due to our GREEDY core 4 IMHO.

Domi is a useless tool and is as stupid as his father. He needs to go, and soon. I don't care, put him on waivers. Addition by subtraction IMHO. ( I know I'm overreacting, but let's see if his stupidity continues. )

Boston should be plenty motivated to show once again how overrated our team is. I expect a very strong game from them. Maybe a spanking is in order.

Same crap from this team once again. Sure, they can't win every game, however they need to be more competitive, especially in front of home fans that pay some of the highest seat prices in the NHL.

I'm disgusted once again with my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs.

That was a game That happened, not a single player played well.

Not one.

That said I'm not overly upset.

For whatever reason teams never play well the first home game after a road trip.

I think this sums it up well.

"If our core 4 doesn't dominate and score, our bottom six forwards are NOT GOOD ENOUGH because we lack the cap room to hire better players....Our D-group is not nearly good enough either."

I have low expectations for this season. Life is easier that way.

Fire Keefe?

Yes, PLEASE, before he ruins anothe couple ofr promising rookies. Because one thing has become VERY clear over the last 5 years: Keefe hates playing rookies in any serious role, and he WILL continue to underplay Knies as long as he's the coach. If Knies ever gets a chance higher in the lineup, it'll be after everyone (likely including Gregor and Reaves) have been given a shot at it. Keefe has never played any rookie other than Bunting higher than the 3rd line of any team he's coached, and even Bunting had to earn his way up there after half a year of complete failures.

Getting tired of Keefe juggling the lines when we're losing in the third period. Why? Has this ever worked? I'm getting tired of Keefe period.

Should he just stay with the lines that weren't working? At least he tries to change things up.

So, are you all still enjoying Keefe? Anyone finally going to admit that the concerns many of us posted from his first year here have never improved?

Most of the issues that have plagued this team arent coaching related. Im fine if they make a change, but it doesnt feel like any coach will be destined for success

Didnt he have Knies in the top 6 last playoff? And take a bunch of shit for overplaying Sandin in his first playoff?

Evilhomer said:
Pretty damn sure. It's about as Toronto as it gets to walk into Boston and beat an undefeated (in regulation) team after laying a stinker a couple of nights earlier. It is exactly the kind of thing the Leafs do. This group has a tendency to bounce back really well from poor games.

This isn't a coaching issue. The additions just haven't worked and thats on the GM for bringing them in. Keefe also has limited options on the PK. Another coach isn't going to make Reaves into an NHL player
