Robertson needs to go to an expansion team. For a guy so low on the pecking order he shouldn’t even have been point on PP2 but his hero dangles, fire drill shit on every play and coughing up the game winner like a chicken with his head cut off
it was bad.
get sent down bad.

Bottom of the chart again.
Second game in a row where the stats and eye test match up!!

Timmy hitting his stride. We need that big time.

Tavares has looked good since the all-star break. He can tone it back a bit and save it for the playoffs.

Brodie is as Brodie does. Woof.

Robertson can only play every other game?

The negative defensive stats on some of these guys is gross. Max, Mo, TJ, Nicky.

Deserved to lose. Expected result for me, though they could have won even with that terrible 40 minute effort to start; just says how bad the Flyers are.

The fact that almost everyone knew this particular game would play out like this confirms this is more of the same.

So for anyone looking for something different to happen in the playoffs, enjoy.

Depth wasn't very deep. Sammy was not sharp. Posts sure, but were they really playing well? No.

Some silver lining here (yea I know :laugh:)

Good thing they lost. This way at least they won't crap the bed for the first 2 periods in playoffs (hopefully :crossfing ) in the hopes of making it work in just 20 mins. Other team isn't out there to give Leafs the win LOL

That kind of stuff is not worth the few goals he manages to score.

? You don’t think thar was on domi? That was a terrible pass
 
Its almost like when there is tight checking the "all star" players on the team don't feel like playing. They are just running through the motions running out the clock :laugh:

It's like they're just waiting to play their favorite 6 on 5, all-star-game-half-court-hero-drill instead of just participating in a normal game and winning 3-2 on an honest day's effort. That would be too much work, but 2 minutes of effort is fine.
 
A team with this kind of consistent low floor game means you can never trust their ceiling when things are going well.

How can you not be ready to play an NHL game like once a week minimum?
I really believe it’s a coaching issue. For the first half of the game I thought more of our players just weren’t feeling well, but then we woke up in the 3rd. We weren’t ready to play, and it’s because Philly came out aggressive taking our space. We still don’t know how to effectively adjust our game when they do this. It’s why our record against the west is good and our division is crap. The teams in our division know how to play us and Keefe hasnt made effective adjustments.

Expected goals:

4.11 Toronto - 1.77 Philadelphia

A combination between hitting posts and a bad game by Samsonov.

Other players have had that happen to them.
So not completely on Robertson.
Trouble is Robertson doesn't really have game beyond a shot.
Maybe in time he will.
He can still be sent to the minors, and perhaps playing 1st. line minutes, if they trust him enough, in the minors would be better than a part-time player in the NHL.

Effort and attention to detail has always been a problem IMO. Just recall game 2 against panthers. Leafs have 2-0 lead and Matthews-Marner play fancy crap give up the puck and panthers score, gain momentum.

I mean you've been in the league for 5+ years now, ffs grow up LOL

It’s why our record against the west is good and easy is crap. The teams in our division know how to play us and Keefe has t made effective adjustments.

If we had a different coach, I think they should construct a Zezel-Osborne-Berg checking line and just have them start an up-tempo game, forecheck it hard for the first shift and just set a tone. Like these 3 guys will be responsible for setting the pace, getting the blood going and that will be their whole identity, role to start every game and period.

Don't start the skill guys who give you something random to start every game depending on how they feel. Have a purpose.

That's on coaching. And Keefe is not smart.

I thought Philly was the better team overall. That surprises me. Even with the posts I thought Philly deserved to win

If Robertson ever succeeds as an NHLer, it's going to be on another team that sends a different message to him, with a wake up call. His buzzy, flashy stuff doesn't work when it's devoid of details.
 
Seriously how lazy do you have to be to not go out there and give it 100% for 15 f***ing minutes of ice time 3 times a week for 6 months a year for at minimum a million dollars?

Professional athletes my ass. f***ing joke

The game wasn't close in terms of chances.

did you mean are never ready TO START ?

Keefe isn't an NHL coach.
It hasn't worked out.
He embarrassed himself last playoffs.
and history will repeat itself.
Ridiculous. The mark of a great team with great coaching is a team that is never out of any game and is always a threat to come back. That's the Leafs

Embarrassed himself last playoffs? You mean in winning a playoff series??? Forgot about that? And they lost to the team that went to the Finals to a red hot goalie. Them the breaks. But Keefe certainly didn't embarrass himself by winning a playoff round. Only in the deluded minds of the Sky is Falling fans that are determined to make themselves miserable
