I mean when he is healthy. I would like to see him get a chance.

I agree. It hasn't really cost us a lot lately but passes are getting picked off more often because other teams are anticipating it. It's more frustrating than costly. We've just been lucky that guys like Brodie and Muzzin are on the back end to make up for it.

Are we really that flawed...
That said, I fully get why people get upset. This team hasn't made a cup final in 55 years. Everyone's always waiting for the other shoe to drop...

Leafs with the most points in the league, 4th or 5th I think in points percentage. "Good to see what this teams made of", "going to lose 5 games in a row".
The top goal scorer, two guys in top 6 in scoring. "Our best players suck", "need to be immensely better".
Solid takes bud.
Given his production and the number of players who are producing less but making more $$$ than he is, his contract is a steal.
The Tavares line wasn't the problem tonight. Nylander has been excellent these past couple of weeks. Preconceived notions don't trump facts.
Precisely. Happens to everyone... Including better teams than Toronto. Our opponents have paid professionals as well and the circumstances of a season like this means that your team is going to run into some tired, rough stretches, where there isn't much time to practice or fix team issues.

They do , good point , but honestly they’ve won the cup and have been a top 2team for a long timeTampa also loses some games every so often
We don’t have that cache

There's a reason it's never been done before
In case you were unaware, the Leafs are an innovative organization with an innovative GM in a sport that is allergic to innovation.
Again, your opinion makes no sense because Thornton has played extremely well on the whole. You have just made up your mind that Thornton can't work there, and despite quantitative and qualitative evidence refuse to believe what's right in front of you.

I've gotten the impression that Matthews has been hurting for a while now. That snap he has in his shot just isnt there. I think that's why we've seen him playing bumper a lot on the PP. Given the standings and the time off coming up, it's time to sit him for a week. We're going to make the playoffs barring a major collapse. Sit your franchise player to get ready for the post-season.
For a team that has a history of losing... you'd think this fanbase could handle it. Even after a loss in which they didn't look terrible either.
Guess not.
Guess not.

We're flawed relative to the expectations of many that this team be a Cup favourite.
No prime goalie that will steal games. No 26+ minute per night monster on the back end... It's not like the team has 20 flaws, but where it does, they're obvious and the kind that make it hard to have high playoff expectations. When the whistles go away and the scoring is tight in the playoffs, some of the same flaws will emerge.
I'm just enjoying the season for what it is. Hoping we upgrade a little bit at the deadline and can get to the final 4. That would be fun.

I might be the Minority here , don’t know ?
Fred’s not perfect , but he’s one of the better ones in my opinion ..
But I don’t think tonight was on him , sorry folks , we played poorly everywhere

Fair point. Just frustrating and disappointing. When we see how good they can be... and then see two games (well really this one was the bad one) like this. We all want this to be the team that ends the drought so when we get performances like this, 54 years of failure bubbles to the top of mind.
I think consistency is what will get it done in the end, and games like this remind us all that this team still has a ways to go... and lets be honest, 31 games still to go to accomplish that.
It was just such a high coming off those three EDM games... clearly not only for us fans ;-)

Now that I agree with , but apparently we don’t need toughness
They need to be a team that fights through the struggles and out of grooves. Even in a shortened season we'll have a few losing streaks, every team does

Right. And that has nothing to do with wins and losses, but rather has everything to do with the moment and playing the way you need to give yourself the best chance at a win even if its a shit game. Tonight, once down 3-2 they completely threw all structure to the wind and pulled out the non-sense-hope-and-a-prayer game plan. They were not playing well to begin with, but they still had a chance until they went all 'junior'.
Did they look terrible? Or did Demko play great, again, Vancouver play a tight checking, patient game in front of him, and Toronto miss some high scoring chances that it usually doesn't?
I thought the goaltending played like our goaltending usually does...
I thought the D-core was pretty much the D-core...
I thought 2 of our lines were pretty dominant and simply struggled to finish...
