Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-2

[arso40]

How bout garbage no defence willy

 

[TheDoldrums]

Not good enough again.

Is it too early to say Berube is basically Keefe with all his negatives but without all of his positives?

This isn’t it. They have structure and identity, it’s just a terrible chip and chase strategy that was outdated a decade ago. It destroys offense and yet they continue to play this way every night.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

When Matthews and Marner leave this team I hope they never even come close to a cup, especially Matthews.

 

[Confucius]

No first rnd pick for 3 yrs

MSLE have refused to build around the core 4 since we got them. I won't single out any player but we are as a team are going in the wrong direction.

Not big enough, not good enough, not tough enough, not fast enough, and not enough heart

Impatient, had to trade away picks to go for it. Rather than just cruise with the 4 and hope to augment them with their future picks. Team would have been better with prospects playing their arse off to make it instead of old hired guns looking for a victory lap.

that snake oil salesman ruined the leafs by first anointing the absolute JOKE in dubas and then telling the core4 none of them are going to be traded its like WTAF!

The only good news this season has been Tre growing some balls and asking Marner to waive the NTC/NMC

Relax, don't forget what the fan base was told this offseason "it's not about selling jerseys".

Heheh. Leaf fans bought that hook line and sinker.

 

[DuncanMacpherson]

Why can’t the Leafs beat the Sens?

 

[stickty111]

Wasn't Scott C. Wheeler celebrating while Dubas slowly destroyed the team? And then was mourning when he got fired? Yes he was.

His only reasoning for not liking Berube is that Berube is a meanie pants poopy head.

Don't remember that. Still this team has regressed in all aspects and thats on the coach

 

[Smif]

This team is probably the worst of the core 4 era. The Vezina caliber goaltending we got in the first half will be what carries us to the playoffs.

Elite goaltending early in the season is what makes good teams lazy by the end of the season. We relied so much on the tendy's we forgot how to put in a hard effort because we didn't need to.

 

[trellaine201]

Matthews is disappointing. If your hurt DONT PLAY!

We play like we're the Florida Panthers. We're not, we cannot forecheck anywhere close to the level they can

The amount of times we dump it in for the opposing defenseman to easily clear is infuriating

Nylander deserves to be on a better team.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Marner had the worst game I can remember seeing from him

 

[shaner8989]

Glad we threw away Minten Grebenkin and a 1st for another first round exit

Joke of an organization

 

[ToneDog]

WC1 would give us Florida or Tampa. We'd have to fall to WC2

Looking like all roads lead to the first tee.

 

[1specter]

Matthews is from Arizona

Homegrown and hometown are two different things.

 

[Apex Predator]

Not good enough again.

3 coaches and same issues. If you can’t see it’s the cores fault I don’t know what to say.

Scott Wheeler is an absolute hack with no clue about the game of hockey so there is that

 

[Ports]

Why would he be the pariah? Mathews and Nylander are by far the weakest of the Core 4.

Marner has been the best of the bunch then followed by Tavares

Who cares who’s better or worse ? They’re a bunch of individuals who don’t lead the team like they’re paid to do. They care more about getting paid than the crest on the front of their sweaters. They’re soft and huge chokers who are way too used to losing and just accept it. No pride.

That looks like a coaching issue. I was on the Woodcroft train and still am.

 

[likecheese]

We need to get Marleau back in town to mentor these guys.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I’d add a few years. And what do you mean by again?

Well at one point in history during my lifetime this franchise was contending. It wasn't with this group but at one point they were.

 

[Confucius]

what I said after tonight's loss I will catch fire If I go anywhere close to one lol

My dad would always say that

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Not good enough again.

It's not dissimilar to the last few playoffs. Long stretches of nothing happening offensively, and then allowing the opponent to cycle at will in the D zone

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Why can’t the Leafs beat the Sens?

The Leafs can't beat anyone when it matters, the Sens aren't special beating the Leafs in that regard.

yep guess we are around the same age lol
