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

[LastOne2100]

The team seems all too willing to check out if things don't go their way early on. I know not every leader needs to be "rah rah" but this group apparently needs one of those.

This has really been the case for years. If you can get our forwards frustrated early, they just fall apart.

The Columbus series was probably the best example of that.

not delusional lol, I sound like someone who knows how to set healthy boundaries for myself and knows how to regulate my emotions. Stop watching if they piss you off so much? Idk man

You're the one who keeps bringing up anger? Who is angry lmao. Maybe you should stop reading comments on a 5-0 blowout loss if they upset you.

 

[Gallagbi]

Ironic eh?

But not all that surpring really

Looks like I picked a good game to miss..how the f##k are leafs getting destroyed by the habs..it’s why it’s so difficult to not approach this team with doubt

 

[Tak7]

Put down a cool $90 on the Habs to win this morning, at +230.

This Leafs team is pathetically predictable.

The only silver lining to this - it showcases to Dubas that the blueline he's built is awful. Been exposed regularly the past month now.

to the habs fans watching this post.

KISS MY BLUE AND WHITE ASS

That's some strong dedication. Congrats!

There you go Cuthbert. Let's cheer them on to the worst loss of the season.

 

[Leafidelity]

This embarrassment feels different. I feel no anger.

It's more disappointment for me. Just confirming this group is not really going anywhere in the playoffs... certainly not playing like this. So much to correct and so much consistency missing.

Agreed. Really feels like they are missing a passionate leader who can also contribute on the ice. If they don't have the 2nd part of that equation, I don't think they have what they need.

I think Tavares’ style of lead by example or whatever he supposedly does would be best served wearing an A. If he had good habits and is a guy to quiet lead he shouldn’t have a prominent role in the leadership but just a veteran guy in the room. His game isn’t anything to marvel at so I don’t know if you could use that to inspire the troops. If the team needs emotion and a leader to turn it up to 11, Tavares’ style seems to have the opposite effect.

You know there is like no chance that happens right? It is probably a low scoring boring bounce fest that ends in OT.

CBJ are 7-2 in their last 9 games. Chances are they will be the ones who destroy the Leafs tomorrow.

 

[Griffin76]

That's gotta top the list.

Too old for the internet too, no?

 

[LastOne2100]

I am honestly not sure if Holl can do literally anything right at this point.

Except maybe warm an AHL bench.

 

[wingman75]

What NHL team could ever watch this and think, "you know, that Holl guy is exactly what we need... I should give Kyle a call"?

 

[joeyjojojrshabadoo]

My god Holl is just the worst. He couldn't make slower worse decisions

 

[Recipe Unlimited]

That's some strong dedication. Congrats!

Thank you. It's fun watching you youngins complain about the leafs/the world. You guys don't know hard times if it hit you in the back of the head.

 

[Gabriel426]

I guess we got goalied this game. As long as some of the boys are great in their advanced stats, this is nothing to worry about, lol.

I hope the boys just had an off night.

 

[Confucius]

Highlights (lowlights?) Are easily available. Goals are as I described with him not anywhere near the goal crease beside a scorer

Yeah i searched them I couldn't find it. Maybe im in an alternate universe. lol

 

[BertCorbeau]

Let the Habs have their parade tonight. They’re in for some tough years ahead

 

[McSnypsky]

Matthew with that fat lip, probably on drugs...

 

[Aashir]

No they don't that is such BS. I've watched plenty games where the star skates away and somebody comes in for him.

Well all the cup winners haven’t had scaredy-cats as their top guys is all I’ll say
Tampa - Kucherov, Point, hedman, stamkos are not as soft as our guys
St. Louis - Oreilly Schenn Tarasenko Pietro
Washington - Ovi Kuznetsov Backstrom aren’t soft either
Pittsburgh - Crosby Letand Guentzel Malkin aren’t exactly soft either

most of the time they aren’t as soft as our guys

 

[TMLeafer]

Really Mikheyev?
