Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose to Sharks

[Gabriel426]

Question

So Matthews and Marner missing hyman more or the net?

I guess Hyman since they are used to missing the net esp in playoffs, lol.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Ba


Babcock is available.

Yo Babcock, I heard you like contracts.

So we’re gonna pay you a contract while we pay you a contract, so you can collect on a contract while you collect on a contract.

 

[Havoc]

Kid Kyle? Man I am younger then him, am I an infant?

Anyways, I doubt Dubas was happy about losing Hyman, just like we all were unhappy about it, its tough to get someone that played as well as Hyman for 2mil. Richie was a shot, definitely hasn't work out so far.

Even Nylander regresses when he's put there so what chance does Ritchie have. Matthews/Marner is a flop show. Split them up and the wins will roll in.

 

[Legion34]

He has a NMC in the final year of his contract, lol...nice work, Dubas.

???? if he wants out. He wants out. You trade him before that.


You think teams are willing to shell out assets for a 1 year? Teams will want an extension

 

[LaPlante94]

the scary part was so many people here wanted the Leafs to sign him.

Looked good in Boston. How come players look good on other teams then come here and aren't the same? Coaching? Players?

 

[TheGoldenJet]

...and what else was that, a first-rounder for Foligno?

The Dubas special.

 

[PromisedLand]

Holy Crap jersey tosses already

 

[myleafs]

The PP is still atrocious.

2nd pp got it to the net quite a bit and got some good looks

Other teams core players usually show up to the rink. Ours don’t give af.

Is it though? I kept hearing that guys like Hyman were plentiful at that price range. To replace a guy with a league wide rep as a hard worker with a guy who has a rep for lazy inconsistent play is the height of incompetence.

I was feeling pretty confident that Matthews would sign a new contract with Toronto. But Dubas has screwed up the team so much and killed the future, that I wouldn't be surprised if he bails now. If Matthews walks, it's back to the lottery and ping pong balls.

I never believed Matthews ever had any intentions of signing another contract in TO. Still don’t.

 

[PromisedLand]

Dubas goes home and plays Be A GM on NHL '22. Gets fired first game in.

LMAO

This is too good! LOL

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Can't remember from where but I heard that the mood around Leafs organization is pretty grim knowing that this year is their last chance. Including Shanahan.

I feel like if Dubas is let go, he's going to succeed with another NHL team. He clearly knows how to evaluate talent and finding value contracts, he's just been so awful at negotiations and far too soft with his stars.

After screwing up the best Leafs team in a generation, I doubt any NHL team employs Kyle Dubas as GM.

He will go back to where he belongs, which is the AHL.

AM will resigns with TO bc I think Yokes is moving, didn’t the city is not renewing their lease? Beside, AM knows TO us where he can make huge endorsements money. If anything, the sell pitch to AM will be, MCD will come home, he will and he can. Lol

 

[fahad203]

There's nothing likeable about this team

Funny enough the man I trashed the most, Simmonds has again a decent game. He looked better and better

We don't have forecheckers that finish their checks. Did you see the way Sharks played, their rookies were finishing their checks, causing turnovers

Same with Sens and Rangers did the same thing

We have bunch of skaters who do fly by. Some people here think you can just turn it on during playoffs. You are who you are at some point

 

[socko]

Auston Matthews is my favorite Leaf right now. But if he isn't the solution that drags this franchise up and up and the Leafs continue to face plant over the next couple of years, that's going to negatively impact his own brand and we'll probably be begging for another lottery and more ping pong balls.

I feel we'd be in a far better place with Lou Lam. And I cheered when the guy was let go. He plays boring hockey, he doesn't draft very well either, but damn he understands hockey, not just a kid with MS Excel.

Replaced your hardest working foreard with a lazy player who takes a stupid penalty almost ever game. Looking like the Bruins knew what they were doing when they cut bait.

He should go back to the Soo and take all the crap Soo players he’s brought in with him.

 

[egd27]

it would be a travesty if he walks for nothing.

If Matthews plays out all 5 here. He will stay. He has a whole marketing team at all times. In 5 years he should be about 70 goals from the leaf record. Being the all time best player for a global market would be massive. Way better for his brand than anything else. The leafs are global.

IF he decides he wants out and espn pushes him to a southern/Hispanic market. Or New York. Then you trade him. He cant walk for nothing.

NMC kicks in the day he can be re-signed. More brilliant planning by Kid Kyle.

 

[PromisedLand]

As someone who's looking more for process right now than racking up points in the regular season, the same issues plaguing the team are there. Things start to go wrong and mentally the team cracks. Things are going to go wrong in a hockey game sometimes and sometimes you'll lose because of it, but the Leafs don't push back. Bunting and Spezza were the only ones trying to generate any energy out there when the team was down. Our cores group looks completely disinterested.

Ritchie also just does not fit the make-up of this team at all, he's gonna be a fifth wheel all season unless there are adjustments soon.

Leafs have trouble playing against tight checking teams or the teams that force dump-ins. Before we had Hyman who would go recover the puck at tleast, now there is no one IMO

I think he actually did decent on the offseason signings. Richie has not been good no arguments here.

????? you trade him before? Kinda simple.

 

[rdogg]

This team is a joke. Hopefully they miss the playoffs this year so no one has to see their shit effort in round 1

 

[tokyoite]

holy s*it

McD could cure a lot of ills.
