So if you know the opposition is going to elevate their game even though they're not very talented and riddled with injuries shouldn't you be ready to squash them with your significantly superior line up?

Nah, that would take character.
Exactly, if Habs are playing Tampa we know we lose for sure because they are the better team and, most importantly, they always take us seriously specially since we swept them ages ago in the playoffs.
 
I think some of you think the Leafs are the only team that underperforms against weak teams. It's pretty common, and outside of the 2nd the Leafs were pretty dominant.
Leafs were dominant in the first but I don't think they were that great in the third

They were largely kept to the outside and the Habs blocked a ton of shots
 
I mean if the fans are going to act like this after a loss in January, I'm not sure fans deserve a better team.
Whats more upsetting is fans who I trust to not get irrational, are part of it.
The chicken or the egg?

Perhaps years of mismanagement, disappointment, playing down to weaker opponents, blown leads, embarrassing losses, playoff failures, etc. are what have a lot of this fan base at their wits end. After so many years it blends together. It's not just a game in October or January anymore. It's compounded so much. Especially for the long time fans.

Agreed. Every year you can see the ending coming a mile off.

bruh certain someone* (;)) was blaming the fans when leafs traded for foligno; gm was not even questioned. it is pretty obvious....
Yeah it's obvious. There have been multiple threads started blaming the fans when things go south over the last few years.

Always the fan's fault.

The crazy part is that some here think this team is a contender. Lol
The thing with the Leafs is that we have no identity. We play up or down to the team we are facing. Hence why we can one game win against the best in the league and the next get blown out by Arizona.

We need an identity. That is us. We are just a team of players that Jekyll and Hyde our way throughout the season.

It's extremely frustrating to watch.
 
I f***ing knew it I knew that this useless bunch of so called hockey players would lose man i love the leafs but this bunch of losers that wears the jersey of a great team ought to be ashamed to wear that great hockey team jersey
 
Pretty rich coming from the "Dubas has passed all the tests guy"
Dubas will be the first one punted when the Leafs get swept in the first round. I really believe that Shanahan is the one that needs to be fired as well. This loser team will be rebuilding after this season. It is nothing but an epic failure. It’s over.
 
so blaming the fans is ok? I mean this is a total loser mentality, Fans can react however they want no?, I mean this team has not won a playoff round since 2004, they keep playing down to their opponent, I see why they are mad, you simply don't get it, its been the same for awhile now.... blaming the fans is the worst take ive ever heard, what do they deserve than tell me?

its the same BS mentality that is afflicts this team culture

"think like me or you are cancelled/you are garbage/you are nothing/you are xyz (fill in the blanks)"

opposing/difference of opinion, different ideas; different expectations, wanting different things, etc... is apparently not ok.

Don't have to look too far man. Just look at Dubas' interview at the start of the season when he was asked about his contract extension. Instead of taking responsibility, he did what he always does "deflection" like he did after every playoff series.
 
Man this place is embarassing when they arent dominating.
While you aren't going to dominate 82 games and even the best teams have nights off, we are year 9 into the Shanaplan with nothing to show for it.

Sometimes it feels the standard of what's accepted is far too low in this market.

Or the infamous referendum about Justin Holl.
 
Hey so it's safe to say that Tavares has been pretty shit over the last 20 games or so. He just isn't very good.
He can score if the puck is put on his stick within 15 feet of the net.

He can win faceoffs (except on the PP).
 
They'll think "lets play like how our fanbase reacts"
Yet the team that is most well known for playing hard edge hockey during the past decade over in Boston has by far the most psycho fan base.

They don't accept this shit at all and their players know that and play with an edge

It's like when we lost you the bruins everyone was excited because we "played them though"

Bruins fans would be shitting down their teams throats for that loss
 
Poor Sammy…but not really upset lol I know what this team is.

Please just don’t trade any big assets this year and just let the dice roll with Dubas’ vision. If we lose again early get rid of him.
