Post-Game Talk: Leafs give one away to the Wings - Lose 4-2

Nylander and Matthews together have terrible stats, and Marner and Matthews have good stats together.

I said put him with Knies and Domi and Nylander on L3. JT and MM works great anyways.
Domi needs to work through whatever issues he currently has and get going, but I am not against this.
If they are going to run a top heavy team though, best lines are MM/AM and JT/WN

His disinterest there was the ‘TSN Turning Point’ in this one.

He is not the answer, he shouldn’t even be on this team. If that what it takes to get this team up trade the core.

We could have played better, but I thought we still generated enough chances to win the game but couldn't convert. The refs also missed a couple of blatant Detroit penalties.

Tavares needs to lend him an amulet
It's pretty bad when the best line is your fourth line, and the fourth line wasn't that good

He got rocked last night, but never backed down from anyone after that. A big hit can really change your demeanor either because of what it takes out of you mentally or physically. Minten might of had some of his reserves drained prematurely, but he was strong mentally. He's going to be alright no worries.
As of December 15th and 2024, the team is 1st place in the Atlantic.
You need to be willing to do that to get the pieces necessary.
They keep getting this level of goaltending they can win a cup.
That was an embarrassing play and he should be ashamed. Especially given his status as the Captain and highest paid player in the league.
Not if they don’t score any goals

It worked in the past with AM. Why not try it. Oh because you think AM and MM are married and it's the only way even though the team has been shitting the bed since the reunion. Makes sense. Great take aways.
Answer to fixing bad results is do more of the same thing and hope for better result. Einsteinian level thinking

Disinterested, hmm don't know about that, I was thinking he looked more "unable."

Leafs have 4 of the top 12 highest paid players in the league.
So how can they struggle to score more than 2 goals a game?
Last 5 games results
Goaltending and system is keeping them in games but Leafs offense is broken and their top heavy spending on just 4 forwards is not delivering a decent bang for their cap buck and its hurting bottom 6 depth.
If this were the playoffs now Leafs would be struggling to stay alive,

Leafs spend the same on depth and D as Florida, please tell me why they have depth.
You won't.

Yes we add but so far the adds of 2 different GM have accomplished nothing. Maybe if we had more money to add a bit higher quality thruout the entire line things might be different

Simple short answer……Dubas sucks. Long answer, it’s the wrong mix and the whole doesn’t equal the sum of the parts
Truly great players convert…….the rest create chances………and fancy stats
