Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 9-3 to a Team That Lost 9-4

[Nineteen67]

This is not a serious team. I know this will trigger people but Nylander should be on the trade block. They won't be able to afford to re-sign him and he's the only top player they have even a semblance of control over. Even if you think they can make a run in the playoffs, he isn't the difference anyway. Either trade him for a good defenseman, a good goalie or prospects/picks. I really like Nylander, this isn't some hate post. They have to cut their losses with this core at some point.

It’s tricky, but if they can get a good young top D man they‘d have to do it, but they don’t become available via trade very often.

They seemed serious when they trounced Pittsburgh 5 days ago. Crappy games happen. This was a crappy game. Goaltending let them down.

Zamboni driver
3-1 comeback by the Habs
Losing 7-3 during covid to the pens when Pens were missing their top 2 line

Take your pick

lets not forget getting blanked by the nobody CBJ in the "play-ins" or embarrassed by panthers in the 2nd round

 

[Stephen]

At least Matthews finally agrees

Good.

 

[Al14]

So Leafs need:
2 top 4 D
a G
A fourth line RW
possibly a 3rd line centre

And a NEW coach !!! I hear D J Smith is available.

 

[Enniskillen]

Keefe is a meek and sheepish coach that is incapable of motivating players. This core needs Torts. Pampering won’t cut it.

 

[Clark4Ever]

At least Matthews finally agrees

Accountability is good, especially from the core players.

I give him and the team a pass considering the tear he's been on and the team's record the last several weeks.

Hopefully they'll learn from this.

And JT's first trip back to Long Island.

The record was a bit of smoke and mirrors, though. With several shootout wins. Better than losing, sure, but they weren't playing like a top team.

Woll still unproven in my eyes. There's just nobody even in the market to even target

If Nashville falls off Saros could be

 

[Mr_Fun]

I don't mind if they get beat down once in a while. Usually after a beat down, they're good for about a month or so until they forget about the beat down.

Hard to say if they would have had a flattering result tonight with competent starting goaltending. I can't blame this entire night on Sammy, but he certainly was the main catalyst.

CBJ and the Leafs were about the same team that year.

 

[BallardEra]

The record was a bit of smoke and mirrors, though. With several shootout wins. Better than losing, sure, but they weren't playing great.

It’s become a parity league when you look at the standings this year. I don’t see one team in the East especially where I can confidently say will easily win in the first round.

 

[Al14]

This team was starting to actually win me over after the Pittsburgh game.

Then they rip out your heart and stomp on it.

 

[Nineteen67]

Preds are playing well, right now. Maybe the Leafs should give up some goal scoring for some picks and a prospect.

 

[Racer88]

so sick of Keefe and his mealy-mouth mumbling post-game, be a man FFS

That was a pathetic post game presser by Keefe

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Timmins + Samsonov = disappear
Niemela + Hildeby = call up

They can’t be worse.

 

[Racer88]

I turned off the game when sabres went up 7-3 did they really play hall and oates after the game?

They sure did

 

[PromisedLand]

I agree with you and its a shame we are at this point.

that serpent dubas put us in this position to begin with. somethings gotta give. can't keep status-quo and expect different results.

somethings gotta change here. personnel or coaching

 

[egd27]

Hutchinson-Toskala-Raycroft level goaltending.

Which is odd given Dubas' track record for acquiring quality goaltending.

 

[PromisedLand]

Need to upgrade the 3rd line . Robertson isnt working. He needs to work on his stuff in AHL. Sign Perry asap

Robertson isn't NHL material. he isn't producing and he is too small to play in the bottom 6. he can't ain't producing and is not cut out to be a grinder. our cap constraint is also kicking our ass

 

[ToneDog]

Keefe is a meek and sheepish coach that is incapable of motivating players. This core needs Torts. Pampering won’t cut it.

Torts is not available but Berube and Gallant are.

 

[Racer88]

Keefe is a meek and sheepish coach that is incapable of motivating players. This core needs Torts. Pampering won’t cut it.

They should be bag skated tomorrow at 6am

Robertson isn't NHL material. he isn't producing and he is too small to play in the bottom 6. he can't ain't producing and is not cut out to be a grinder. our cap constraint is also kicking our ass

The cap has been kicking our ass since the Dubas gave 50% of it to 4 similar soft not serious players

 

[Ace]

They played it between whistles. You can't blame them, they won their Stanley Cup tonight.

They’ve won an awful lot of Stanley Cups over the years.

Gibson is solid.
