[leafsfan5]

Thought we played a solid game, AM34 had a dominant third period

Put Knies on PP1 for Tavares please

The Leafs weren't bad, but just weren't good enough.

We just watched the level of goaltending that's needed to win the cup, and we haven't had it for decades.

Good battle. My God was Shesterkin fantastic.

Tavares is a realllll Liability at this point, dude is beyond slow.

His Hands are still there, but the skating and reaction time looks to be gone. Shouldn't be out there in crunch time anymore imo.

 

[fahad203]

Shes was on different level. We owened them
That's how it goes

We played exceptionally well. PP still needs some work though but we had some good looks

Good game overall but Shesterkin is just an amazing goalie.
The biggest issue, that keeps coming up in big spots, is that we cannot count on our PP to come through with big goals when it matters most.
It has failed us in the playoffs and tonight's another time where you just need to go 1-3 on the PP and get at least a point.
We spend all this money and when all the chips are down, more often then not we can't score and many times it's just a disastrous PP.

To be fair most teams don’t have this level of goaltending. You also don’t need a Shesterkin to win in the playoffs

 

[TMLAM34]

Would like to see Knies, Matthews and Domi on a line together for a game or two!

You don't - but you definitely need better than what we've had..

It's stupidly obvious JT is PP2 material.

JT is now the greatest hockey player in the world *WHO CANNOT SKATE*.

It’s not only that he’s slow, he gives the puck up and kills every single play.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Tavares sucks

 

[Blanka]

Tavares just doesn't have it anymore. Too slow both in his skating and playmaking, not to mention his inability to win the battles along the boards. Just not strong enough.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

reduce JT's icetime and move him down to PP2

Nylander - brain-dead at the end there

Tanev should be load managed and never dressed for a B2B - hoping they sit him on Tuesday

Need Robertson to show up

Marner good and frustrating tonight

 

[Schennanigans]

They played well but their goalie is another level.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

we have to 100% move on from him.

Only reason to look for a 3C 4C role for him is if we don't re-up Marner.

Just spilt 34 and 16 up.

The issue is, though, that there are not enough centers with Domi on the wing.

 

[3blizzard4]

Good game. Shesterkin played lights out. Leafs played well. PP sucked though.

Tough week coming up. Four games.

 

[All Mod Cons]

We played really well tonight. Shesterkin was outstanding.

I just can't with John Tavares any more.

 

[1specter]

Please figure out the f***ing PP

 

[leafsfan5]

To be fair most teams don’t have this level of goaltending. You also don’t need a Shesterkin to win in the playoffs

Other than the Rangers, 0 teams in the league have this kind of goaltending. He's the best in the game for a reason

Hey guys, Leafs looked like they are still caught between the old and new styles.

It'll get ironed out.

Hope you are all doing well.

Good hearing from you

 

[Mr_Fun]

Five games with a new coach and system and five games with good effort. It's early so I won't worry too, too much about getting goalies a couple times.

 

[bax]

JT off pp1 for knies please.

Shesterkin’s gonna get paid
