Post-Game Talk: Leafs embarrass Berube again

[Blanka]

Weird what they’re trying to turn hockey into lol.

Doesn’t have to be an eye for and eye? We also don’t need you on the panel aside from a corporate DEI check mark

"The game is changing. That's not necessary." She's absolutely clueless.

...if your solution to fixing power play problems is removing your best offensive player from the top unit, it's no wonder it's struggling.

 

[Burnie97]

1st period... we're f***ing giving it.

2nd and 3rd... we're taking it.

Figure it the f*** out.

 

[SprDaVE]

They will lose way too many games with a bottom 5 PP. It's just inexcusable. It'll probably improve since they are bound to get lucky/hot but... way too many times they look straight terrible. It's pretty crazy because 5 on 5 they look pretty good for the most part.

North of $11M+ players are not showing up often enough.

Sure, Marner scored, however both Matthews and Nylander were no shows !!!

Perhaps the other teams are demonstrating that our Leafs are overrated and overpaid.

What's with the Blues playing above their heads against our Leafs and getting shellacked by Ottawa.

Playoffs this season might exclude our Leafs unless our PP, PK, and >$11M paid players start showing up.

 

[Racer88]

Another crappy loss. Good job boys

 

[Suntouchable13]

Would be nice to actually win the division. But I guess they don't want it. Florida is already way ahead.

Agreed. That won't fix anything.

Berube is quickly figuring it out that we don’t have the attitude or players to play his game

Holmberg kampf Robertson jarnkrok all vanilla players
Not physical enough and no hockey IQ among them

Nylander was invisible tn with the exception of one rush where he got a PP call.

 

[Orfieus]

Can we just fast forward to the early playoff exit already?

Toronto is struggling to stay out of the wildcard spot even though the Atlantic division is probably the weakest division right now. Making the playoffs this year is going to be a lot harder

PP is total trash, its been 12 gms can't wait to see absolutely no changes tomorrow!

That's surprising considering the goaltending has been somewhat decent with the exception the Cokumbus game.

 

[Enniskillen]

And now Blues will return to their miserable hockey and no one will care including Blues players.

 

[Blanka]

I really like Bieksa, but overall I like pretty much everyone on the panel and think they're probably the best group of people in covering and analysing the teams, players and the league these days.

I disagree. MacLean should have been replaced by Amber years ago. He has more than proven myself to be an exceptional host. Botterhill? Out of place tbh. Her comments on the Habs-Pens game were laughable.

Gave up on a bunch of plays as well which is concerning

 

[Nineteen67]

Not much space tonight. It’s always tough for this group to win that type of game.

Guess you didn’t actually watch the game

I dunno this goes back to last year like February, its been bad since. Cant all be Savvy's fault.

I know people like to say this after every loss, but making the playoffs will not be harder this season. If anything, it will be easier because of the downgrades in the Atlantic teams. The Leafs could sleepwalk their way to top 3 in this division. That is no great accomplishment.

You're not serious

 

[GoonieFace]

You're not serious

Another Marner fanboy

Don't know what you were watching but his name was barely mantioned until the third.

 

[wingman75]

Berube is trying to implement a playoff, heavy, hard on the puck forecheck style. Which if we are being honst this team does play in the playoffs.

The concerning part is that this looks exactly like a Leafs playoff team. Nothing from the PP and sporatic star contributions.

History has told us that this core is a losing team playing that way.

 

[ACC1224]

There are some that have this weird obsession that everything is Marner vs Nylander. Really weird.
