The biggest issue last night was not nylanders turnover….. it was the fact he laid on the f***ing ice watching the play go down the other end and the trailer scores the goal. You lazy f***ing pos. Get the f*** up and get back. If he does maybe we win in the SO. That’s loser hockey

F*ck cancer - RIP Fugu and Buffaloed
Willy earned the flak last night but I won’t go too hard on him given how he carried the team in multiple games earlier in the year including OT winners

No coach worth his weight in salt game plans to get to OT skills competition.
The leafs are who they are. The proof is in your eyes and in the standings:
Cannot grab leads and cannot hold leads.

Yup, that was one of our better efforts so far this season for sure. No payback for Liljegren but then, I wasn't expecting any anyway. Wasn't thrilled to see Marchand get the winner but whatever, 3on3 is nothing but a gimmicky variance fest (fun to watch though).
LOL wut?
I think something went wrong with you quoting my post as you only quoted one word and as a result, I don't understand your question.

He took the player out of the play too. He was the 3rd worst player of the 4 Leafs on the ice for that goal.

Is Woll the answer?
I've been pretty impressed with him so far this year but can he keep it up? Despite the loss tonight, I still came away impressed.
The other of our goalies (and last years #1) has maybe been the worst starter in hockey, our D core has been decimated by injuries (Liljegren and Gio still out) and our top guys have been somewhat inconsistent so far this year....and the Leafs are sitting in 8th place overall in the league (by pts %), one spot behind the current golden child of Canadian sports media, the Canucks.
Scoring is still up this season and if the team had Woll's .915 on the year, they would rank top 5ish for team save %, despite team defensive numbers cratering(partly due to injuries).
What do you guys think has gone right for the team this year to find themselves currently 8th overall? Thats a fun question to ask.

Well, I disagree. There was nothing dirty about it at all. Nylander saw the hit coming and bowed out.

Woll has been pretty great. The phrase "the answer" is a bit of a cliche so can't really answer that.
What's gone right for us to be 8th overall is pretty obvious IMO - we've done well in the gimmicky 3on3 OT and shootouts which is a massive variance fest so pretty meaningless when it comes to assessing how good a team is at playing hockey. Our regulation PTS% is below .500 and puts us 11th in the East so overall, the season so far has been terrible as far as playing regulation hockey goes.
Losers. The whole lot of them.
This team will never win anything ever as currently composed.

Nylander was an arse.
Getting a point with that defense was amazing.
Treliving is not doing a great job.

That's true but calling it pathetic seems weird. It's a point in the standings, it's also relatively meaningless when it comes to assessing how well a team plays hockey but calling it pathetic seems ... weird.
I agree the team has been very inconsistent and probably in a better spot than they deserve but thats what good teams tend to do. I think what I mean by the "answer" is that have we found a guy who looks like he can rise to the occasion and battle in the playoffs.
For all the threads and discussion on playoff hockey and the team in front of the goaltenders, the facts remain that this Leafs core has had the following goalkeeper matchups in the playoffs:
Possible HOF Rask, Kopisalo(for one of the craziest record-breaking playoff goaltending runs ever), HOFer Price (in maybe the best playoff run of his career), HOFer Vasy, possible HOFer Bobrovsky (during the best playoff run of his career)
vs.
Andersen (one of the worst clutch goalies of all time), Campbell (lol) , Samsonov (meh), rookie Woll
Is there a more glaring example of why this team cant get on a good run? Woll looks like he wants to take the reins and looks like a battler out there too which I like. We need a goaltender that can do what guys like Potvin, Cujo and Belfour did for us back in the day. They saved our bacon in crucial moments and made everyone in front of them look like heroes. Goaltending is literally the most important position in the playoffs and my memory is now littered with bad goals and not big stops while our team has to run into walls.
I want to know what it feels like on the other end......to get clutch goaltending in the playoffs ....and if I did feel that, we are going on a huge run IMO.

I'm just talking in cold hard facts like regulation points percentage, the true measure of a team's quality, except when the Bruins beat the Leafs in OT which proves that EvilHomer is wrong about the Leafs being superior to the Bruins

Reading people discuss the merits of overtime points on HF has become tedious.

Excuses are for losers
He can't play in OT, can't PK, he has no emotion, he has no jam, not a vocal leader....that's Captain material right there.

He also has to play the PP with 4 All Stars or he won't produce.He can't play in OT, can't PK, he has no emotion, he has no jam, not a vocal leader....that's Captain material right there.
On another fun note to trigger folks out there:
