GDT: Leafs @ Flames - 9pm TSN

[ULF_55]

Seen some promising efforts from the bottom 6.

Some speed added to the line-up.

Step by step.

 

[therealkoho]

I bet he gets hurt walking off the team plane, guy is done, also a huge fan of his. but... lol

He'll get hurt buckling up before take off

 

[LeafsFan89]

We look like we have a new identity -- slow.

I don't think we are.

But to play devil's advocate... Did being faster help us win any playoff series?

 

[Menzinger]

Nice to hear from Schenn in the interview

 

[MoreMogilny]

Dubas shows faith by going all jn

Team responds by looking like absolute turds on ice

Culture in this franchise stinks

 

[rocketman588]

Seems that way

Keefe is probably telling them if you don't want to play together than nobody will playe together

It's an old Scotty Bowman thing, that came from the old timers

Keefe is too busy trying to workout how to get Holl 24 mins of ice to care about line combos

 

[yubbers]

I wonder how much EI would Dubas be able to get? isnt it like 80% of the salary you got fired from or something

It caps out thankfully. LOL. don't give the government any ideas.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

7 Dman in angled Holls getting WAYYYYY too much ice time.

If he isn't being showcased and stays after TDL. Ill be strongly considering joining the fire Keefe train.

He’ll do it to himself if he plays Holl like this against Tampa.

 

[Geeve]

It's not just his shot, Matthews seems to have zero acceleration, it looks like Tavares can get a better jump from a stop than Matthews right now.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Schenn is a class act.

 

[Burnie97]

f***ING HOLL IS A MORON

Willy passes him and he just watches the puck slide.

ABSOLUTE MORON

Nothing new... he has something on the coach lol

 

[Menzinger]

It will take a while for this group to mesh. Well we look rough again tonight, it'll take time.

A point that I think it's over it way too much. There's a ton of new bodies in the dressing room, and on the ice, it will take a couple weeks for chemistry to start to build for guys to learn the systems etc

 

[ULF_55]

We look rusty and just seem like we're off positionally. Also, structurally I think we're getting back to taking boneheaded risks in the offensive zone to try to keep the puck in.

Both Tavares and marner with brutal giveways in their own zone.

Between the ears problem.

 

[rocketman588]

Dubas shows faith by going all jn

Team responds by looking like absolute turds on ice

Culture in this franchise stinks

He created this culture by letting them be p***yes during the babs era

 

[9Iron]

Most teams make trades knowing exactly where they fit in. The Leafs? Let's just try them out with everybody and see what happens... predictably...

 

[Confucius]

I wonder how much EI would Dubas be able to get? isnt it like 80% of the salary you got fired from or something

I think there is some ridiculously low cap though, something around 500 a week.

 

[MarnerElite]

Who was the person that said getting too many players at once is problematic?...I do agree with that because i think it takes time to build chemistry and some players(due to different styles) may never gel together...We have a coach who is experimenting now(which is fine) but God knows if he'll ever figure it out.

 

[Leafblooded]

You'd think after all these years Schenn would find a helmet that fits

 

[centipede2233]

I think dubas should be dusting off his resume and cover letter….

 

[JKG33]

That Schenn interview was heartwarming

 

[frizzer1]

Dubas had to go for it , but with Matthews obviously hurt and Tavares being Tavares, there is no chance of competing for a cup this year.

 

[PromisedLand]

Why? All these moves and they've been utter shite two games since.

the way I see it...

When other teams add; they are not looking for the 'new additions' to do more than the core

In Leafs nation; it seems the core is being excused while the new guys are already called out.

I don't know man.... Core should be called out more IMO

 

[therealkoho]

7 Dman in angled Holls getting WAYYYYY too much ice time.

Not sure but I think you forgot a Y.

 

[BTP]

6 new players in FEBURARY is unprecedented.. Lets not overreact. Team hasnt even had a practice yet. Let em cook.

 

[Stephen]

That started the downward spiral.

He's just trying to keep his ask lower in the off-season.

I hope he’s not asking for what’s been reported.
