Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 5 -1

[All Mod Cons]

What exactly happened to Nylander?

Is he pulling a Freddie Andersen and just not feeling like playing?

Freddy looked really good today.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Everything that needs fixing has needed it for years.

Fixed.

I've had an issue with the team's attitude since they performed a mutiny on Babcock, who, granted, was a bit of an arsole. However, they can check out whenever they like and rarely show that they have an extra gear.

This year was supposed to be different....

 

[HamiltonNHL]

got the last post in the GDT.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Anything from Kyle Dubas needs to go... His softness has made this team soft and gutless.

Rielly - Horrible D, now cant make passes, and is afraid of going in the middle Lost his play for the 2nd goal - TRADE
Marner - Afraid of skating to the net, when he has the speed. He is afraid. cant get past big bodies either. TRADE
JT - Grenade stick and no speed - TRADE

Matthews... Lost hope after the 2nd you can tell by his play.


Keefe - Needs to be fired before midnight. Ruined our team mojo with the last few games and we keep looking worse LMAO

SHANNY - MAN UP YOU COWARD AND RESIGN YOU SUCK

 

[Divine]

Samsonov isn't the problem:

 

[pcruz]

Keefe might not be the best coach, Samsonov might not be a elite #1 and our defence isn't very strong but what does any of that matter if our high priced offensive stars cannot consistently produce offense when the stakes are the highest?

Those are the guys that are going to drive this team and too often they get shutdown when time and space gets reduced.

It's just one game, so still lots of time but our core players need to come thru scoring wise or we don't have much chance against the best teams.

If you have the most powerful engine in the world, but the connection between the transmission and the wheels is severed, it won't do you a lick of good now will it?

 

[Steven1562]

I can only blame myself for having hope

I can't believe they got us believing again. After all these years we should have known.

 

[socko]

Robertson looked fast, played pretty well IMO.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Not gonna cry after one game...waiting to see game 2...

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Anyone who thinks coaching isnt a big problem should give their heads a shake. That penalty kill system we use was abysmal all season. Unfortunately he doesn’t have a goalie to cover his mistakes.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I haven't been this disappointed since I found out

Onto game 2 need to get the split.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Everything that needs fixing has needed it for months years.

Fixed.

 

[TMLegend]

The big guys on this team play for regular season accolades, the last few weeks have made that painfully apparent.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Offering something somewhat constructive, having someone on each defensive pairing incapable of moving the puck (Boosh, Benoit, Edmonsson) makes it incredibly easy for a forecheck to know who to apply pressure to.

These guys can’t pass nor skate the puck out, so by covering their partners, you are basically guaranteeing a turnover

75% of our turnovers came from the forwards.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

He just ain't got that DAWG in him unfortunately.

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

The suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.

 

[Al14]

I think we need to consider a rebuild of sorts. Kyle has done irreparable damage as has been discussed previously.

Yep, it's time !!! No point hanging on to these overpaid LOSERS !!!

I think Nylander came up lame because he's just too scared to play the Bruins !!!

 

[Roo]

Game 1 last year was worse. I didn’t think we were as bad as the final score would indicate, but we certainly weren’t good. We can take game 2, long series ahead.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Cue JT's 'Lessons Learned'

He has a doctorate in losing.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Tavares is a $2 million player in the playoffs right now.

I honestly wouldn't take him back for league min. I really wouldn't.

 

[TMLegend]

Samsonov isn't the problem:

Lol, lmao even.

It was over the minute they let the kids run the daycare.

Many of us screamed about it for years.

 

[sxvnert]

Maybe keefe didn't want to lose 4-1.

 

[Racer88]

It wasn't the Bruins top guys potting goals either. But at least they were noticeable. JT and Marner were garbage. Really came down to special teams and goaltending again, and they were terrible, again.

Your right that it wasn’t the Bruins top guys scoring but the reason is that they didn’t spend 50% of their cap on 4 soft similar forwards and spread it around building a better balanced team.
