Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose in OT 4-3

[Nineteen67]

Every season there’s a team that doesn’t meet expectations and implodes. Are the Leafs that team?

 

[Cleetus]

should of lost in regulation, this team sucks,

 

[Pebble live]

I get people want blood but it can't just be Keefe. Dubas HAS to go. This roster is f***ing awful. Trotz would struggle with this roster.

 

[Strangle]

The leafs really getting a lot of respect in the handshake line tonight

 

[egd27]

So badly out-coached in that OT from the opening faceoff.

Out coached by Dallas Eakins.........is that not enough to ditch this hack?

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Good job dubas! Stay the course!!

It's really worked out so far

 

[Sypher04]

Let's be honest, we had no business getting a point from this game. That goal they called off the first time we lost this game had no business being overturned.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

What is to be done? f*** if I know. But something must be done. Holl and Kerfoot still both stink and cost us more than help us.

Keefe is probably thinking the same thing.

Core guys have mostly been useless outside of the PP this year.

No real effort or intelligence shown since Winnipeg.

And I don't think Keefe has done anything "wrong"... he is just expected to resuscitate a team that is playing at like 10% of its capabilities right now. Is he supposed to bench a core player, because that seems to be what this team needs right now? When was the last time a high end team has had to do that because they flat out sucked?

Players need to take a long hard look in the mirror and I am not doing anything to protect or bail them out if I am Keefe, Shanny or Dubas. You give them 10 games to show they are better than a bottom feeder and at that point, it should be open tryouts.

 

[mcleafs]

I can’t wait for Dubas to continue with this same group.

 

[34]

Keefe is getting fired tonight or somebody from the core is getting traded. Some thing is going to give here. No way Shanahan sits back and does not do something!

This team is going to be a draft lottery team. They look like a bottom five team in the league for Pete’s sake. Like seriously, what the f***.

 

[Optimist]

The Toronto Maple Leafs could not hand the Ducks they're 8th consecutive loss. Did you read that right? THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS COULD NOT HAD THE DUCKS THEY'RE 8TH CONSECUTIVE LOSS.

 

[Aashir]

I get people want blood but it can't just be Keefe. Dubas HAS to go. This roster is f***ing awful. Trotz would struggle with this roster.

The team needs a major retool
No depth
Stars are overrated
No structure

It’s rotten top to bottom

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I'd love to blame Keefe but this team has already played the "blame the coach" card. Imagine paying money to watch this team? Shit is embarrassing.

Why do you only get to say one coach is bad?

 

[diceman934]

all i wanna say is:

FU Shanahan for ruining the best chance this franchise has had in decades for hiring a f***ing rookie to ruin the present and future. FU

I could not agree more.

 

[Racer88]

If Marner isn’t a healthy scratch next game then this team is lost.
Keefe has no control over this group

 

[Teeder Keon]

Never liked the term “ coach has lost the dressing room “
But I know through experience, unfortunately, this is where Keefe and the Leafs are …
He may be given the opportunity of one more chance at home , but other than that it looks bleak
I am a backer of Dubas and Keefe ..
But tonight I must agree and am on board with “ he’s got to be fired immediately “
It’s all over for him
Too bad , a good young coach , but it’s the end of the road here at least .

 

[Cleetus]

Out coached by Dallas Eakins.........is that not enough to ditch this hack?

he should be fired, along with the guy who hired him.... just awful!

 

[ChadBigly]

OT was a mess too.... Tons of bad decisions. This team has learned nothing over the past few years.

Was Matthews out there the entire time? I'm pretty sure he was

 

[leafsfan5]

Guys, guys, please stop the overreactions

It's one bad week and we were on a back to back, patience please. When has this team ever caused us to doubt?

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Firing Keefe won’t do anything. Need to make a trade, move dead weight in Holl, Engvall, Kerfoot, etc. and look to moving Marner. Dude is useless at that cap hit

 

[fahad203]

I agree with Poulin

If you are going to bench him, then bench him. Don't give him the superstar bench where he comes back next shift

 

[Stand Witness]

I think the Leafs team is literally having trauma problems. I genuinely think they are done as this group. They are so mentally destroyed it’s unbelievable. The sum of this teams part and the night to night performance is wild

 

[Funk21]

Fire Dubas tomorrow.

Apologize to the fan base for wasting such an amazing opportunity with poor decisions, overpaying rookies who haven’t proven anything and building a team with no heart.

Interim GM and sell everything with the exception of the core unless an overwhelming deal comes through.

Take your lumps and hope we get a top 10 pick. If AM won’t sign an 8 year deal, deal him, Marner and Nylander and JT. The fan base is done with this core. Nobody seems to care or willing to rise to the occasion.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Why do you only get to say one coach is bad?

It may be because it is the same players making the same stupid mistakes that coaches shouldn't have to deal with. Why would it be any different with a different coach? They haven't learned anything from two drastically different guys. Third time is the charm I guess?

 

[BallardEra]

Huge point. Let’s build off it against another easy opponent on Wednesday night.
