I said if they played like this when the coach gives them an extra day off.

They were allowed to stay back in Seattle without the coach and have a boys night basically... and then they come out and play like this.

My bad, read your post wrong. Eh even then I doubt they come out THIS bad. It’s actually hard for bad teams to do that.

I'll give 2 games before I reverse my opinion on dubas having done a good job at the deadline



It'll be a great job if Justin Holl is gone by friday

 

[Budz]

No wrong points made, but even with all that, you really think that’s the best they could do?

I’d understand a bit at least had they lost a 3-1 game, however not only was it 5-2, but it should have and could have been much worse were it not for Samsonov. At some point in this game, you had to either go for it completely and attempt a comeback, or try to turtle and just stop bleeding chances. We did neither of that

They played terrible.

It’s one effing game, if we lose like that in a couple weeks. Feel free to bathe with a toaster.

Tonight - chill out a bit.

Justin Holl over 20 minutes tonight. Liljegren 12:58.

Tell me again who Keefes scratching again when the time comes.

Liljegren was downright awful today, so it was somewhat deserved.

Not that Holl or Brodie were all that good either. Brodie handled the puck like a grenade all night.

At least I got a chuckle in watching Holl get fed.

 

[MSZ]

34 play tonight or just show up for cheque?

Latter

 

[RoadWarrior]

Haven't seem him this lackadaisical since he's been a Leaf.

Pretty sad when Zach Hyman is showing him up in all ends of the ice.

The bigger the game the smaller the effort. Very Leafy.

That's good entertainment value!

 

[Leafblooded]

It was an overall lack of opportunity IMO.

He was clearly already pissed about Gio coming in, the mini contract standoff demonstrated it as much, well they just did it again by adding McCabe...

Agreed, but replacing youth with aging vets... Now where have I seen this movie before?

 

[BallardEra]

The team came out flat and got overwhelmed by Edmonton's big guns.

We'll see if they can respond tomorrow. It's going to be tougher in a back to back.

Yep.

Flames are desperate to make the playoffs and threw 57 shots on Ullmark last night.

 

[TMLeafer]

Pretty lame effort by pretty much everyone. Even dependable guys like Brodie were poor tonight.

This wasn't a big game really.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I want to see way way different lines because this is not about partying, being tired, blah blah blah...This is just horrible knowledge of what he has...If he keeps going with this because he truly believes in these lines(like he believes in Holl), this team is done(which i guess is good in a way because Keefe and maybe even Dubas are done too).

Most of the trouble is in the top 2 lines...

Perhaps doing...

JT........Matthews.........Nylander
Kerf/Bunt....O'Reilly....Marner

Kerfoot did a decent job with JT and Marner before O'Reilly came plus he adds speed and some playmaking ability. If Bunting cannot do his main job of winning board battles(and he's certainly not that good at making plays either), then why not try something else?

No idea what to do about that D because it's awful right now(especially with Holl on the first unit).

Aren't we now supposed to be back to a 3 headed monster down the middle?

 

[Rude Dog]

Like driving through the Prairies. Flat. On to calgary

 

[sxvnert]

...........

Cant wait to see him tomorrow night.

 

[Aashir]

Don’t really have the wingers for that third line

Kerfoot - Oreilly - Lafferty?

You’d better not expect more than 40 point from oreilly then

 

[ACC1224]

McCabe sounds like an absolute beauty.

 

[RoadWarrior]

Cant wait to see him tomorrow night.

We know Schenn has heart… and can thump people.

 

[Brown Dog]

Possibly my least favouite loss of the season (and I paid to see them get blown out by Seattle at home).

 

[All Mod Cons]

Haven't seem him this lackadaisical since he's been a Leaf.

Pretty sad when Zach Hyman is showing him up in all ends of the ice.

I'd love to have Hyman on this team, regardless of whatever contract he had

 

[Morlu]

And some of you think we're beating Tampa?

LMFAO. Keep dreaming dreamers. They'll be lucky if they don't get swept.

Leafs have never been sweep in recent years. Team played like shit but they’ll still take Tampa too 7.

Seattle and Ottawa were the worse for me.
