GDT: Leafs @ Habs Mon Feb 21 7pm | SN (National)

This is not the way to go........................................................................ Check y
allselves, before you wreck......

We ain't gangsta sire. This gezame showed we a rich organization but we ain't rich with thugness and heart. This team a bunch of daisies, soft as ja rule's lyrics to Ashanti in that one song

 

[m1ker]

We can pickup the best defenceman possible but means nothing if we can’t get goaltending

 

[Aashir]

It's going to be really fun watching Dubas hoist the cup in under a decade with a different team.

Well it’ll take the failure he built in the leafs for him to recognize and learn from before he’d do that

 

[PromisedLand]

Same here. Put pressure on the team to make a big trade for Chychrun.

Even with Chychrun this team aint good enough to compete with the likes of Florida or Tampa IMO

Our core4 is way too f***ing soft. I look at Florida and Tampa's core. THey are not face punchers but they know how to play nasty hockey; both taking it and giving it

 

[Racer88]

What's the f***ing point? They lost to Ayres
That's the lowest of lows

Agreed it can’t get much more embarrassing then that

 

[francis246]

They have been getting ragdolled by other teams and don’t seem to have the will to fight back.
Touch another team’s goalie and all hell breaks loose.’but this team?
Nada.
I think it’s a leadership problem.

i do agree that is a problem, but I also still think they will probably win a series this year. I’m not going to lose my shit over a bad game. But yes the lack of response in general is concerning

 

[Nylanderthal]

so he's injured then? Great lol

Callous as it sounds might be for the best. LTIR him for the reg season and let him get right. Open up cap space and roster spot for chychrun or another top D

 

[Stephen]

Being blown out by a random team isn't anything, if this was 5-0 against Seattle it's not a big deal and you move on.

But this is against MTL. You got embarrassed by them last year and this is the performance they have? Pride alone should have them playing better than this

You’d think any group with pride would want to show up a rival that caused so many months of offseason pain. But apparently not.

 

[zeke]

Time to pull a kucherov with Muzzin and use his caphit at the deadline.

See you in game 1, Jake.

 

[Once]

"It's okay, we're getting goalied"
"This is a learning opportunity"
"Let's list the moral victories..."

“I’m really happy with how we’re playing” - keefe, probably

 

[Teeder Keon]

Big time win here for the coach after tonight’s game
A very very needed loss in this fashion
Humiliating and embarrassing, we need this , weather we like it or not !
Wake up call

 

[Confucius]

Which ones do you have on him?

Where he pointed meanwhile let his man have an open shot and infront e failed to tie up the hab that scored.

 

[keonsbitterness]

I'm contemplating why I'm watching and where I am in life... thanks leafs

Did you know that 'if' is the middle word in 'life'?

 

[Torontonian]

Hopefully coach rips them a new one after tonight, this was a disgrace to get smashed.

Practically everyone has been dogshit this game, Muzzin and Holl and Mrazek have been some sort of bad, 2nd line has been trash, 3rd line has been non existent and Keefe has had to play the 4th line due to everyone else being bad.

Hopefully Muzz will be okay, hit his head hard on the ice.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

I just don't understand how one of the best teams this season has to shit the bed when they play THE WORST team in the league this year... why? WHY.... so embarrassing.

 

[Scion]

I don’t think Muzzin is going to be a contributing factor this season. They might just want to LTIR that guy and hopefully he gets healthy.

This is where I'm at too.

again lmao, it’s the NHL. Shit happens! Teams lose, shitty teams win. We’ll forget about this game in 2 weeks. Who cares baud.

we got blown against a depleted Pittsburgh and responded well for a bit

 

[Dave92]

LOL they are going to lose games. They are going to have pathetic efforts over the course of an 82 game season. I watch a lot of NHL games, not just the Leafs. There is not one team in the NHL that consistently every night has their best “effort”. Yet leafs fans lose their shit when the team gets pumped. It’s bound to happen some nights, get over it

Bad losses happen but it's how you lose and how you react in game, the way this team loses and their soft pushover core is a problem. Every year this same group folds completely come playoff time but next season people like you will be talking about them as if they're the 2x defending champs having an off night.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

He needs to be sent a message.

yes, probably by Buffalo, Thursday night. sigh

 

[themilosh]

The Teams not good, and it was always gonna be the same result because management decided to keep the big 4.
This Season was a right off before it even started after they didn't move 2 of them.

problem with the "big 4" is actually that it is only 3. Marner (and his salary) should be a 1D. I'm not sure why TML spent so much on a small winger.

 

[LastOne2100]

Time to pull a kucherov with Muzzin and use his caphit at the deadline.

See you in game 1, Jake.

Yes, let's trade more draft picks for another first round exit. We are not a few pieces away from beating Tampa.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Time to pull some hair in the dressing room as we used to say way back when in the room after games like this

 

[Racer88]

Not callous at all. It would probably be better for his health

 

[wingman75]

One of those games that should have been marked on calendar for entire team especially with how Habs eliminated team last year. Obviously Habs have been disgraceful this year but they always get up for Leafs.

This core after all the shit they've been through should have had enough by now, but seems only Spezza cares.

It would seem this group is above embarrassment. Because I know for me, if I was playing a team that just embarrassed me in the playoffs, there is no way in hell.id let that happen again. Lose to CLB tomorrow all you want, but I'd be doing whatever I could to not lose this one.

They came out with zero intensity or intent. I find it amazing this group can continue to do that... Couple that with poor goaltending and you get this embarrassment... But I guess to them it's nothing, move on to the next game.

I love the Leafs but I just don't see any way they get out of the first round... Just the fact they can play like this is enough to dissuade me.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Good thing we won't play the habs in the playoffs.

True. The tone for this game was set when Mrazek got steamrolled at the start. A free smackdown - no Leafs reply.
