Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose to the worst team in the league

[Gary Nylund]

Cut da guy some slack .. he hasn't played in forever .. and coming off an injury .. you can't expect any pro player to walk into a game cold .. it takes some time to get your timing back .. what Keefer should do is throw him back in there tomorrow night .. sorry i hate when someone gets thrown under da bus for lack of game time .. it is wrong and Keefer knows better shame on him

Completely agree. Mrazek's a known quantity who will have his ups and downs, not worried about him at all. I would also start him tomorrow, give Jack a rest, show Mrazek and the team that we have faith in him and we need him to play some anyway to make sure there is no question about his trade value in the summer. Jack's the number one guy but we will need our #2 a lot later on when we have a packed schedule because of the make up games. Mrazek should be playing a lot at that time so that Jack isn't burnt out when the playoffs start, may as well start playing him now. He's an important player for us, time to start making him feel like like he's a part of the team which he absolutely is.

Leafs played excellent. However with a goalie playing well, stopping every thing he can see, you have to adjust your game, coaching 101. You could sense it. needed slap passes, tip ins, big butt in the crease etc...
Mrazek played fine.
I stayed up and watched the whole game....

Belfour and cujo were definitely top end goalies much like Campbell is showing to be. They had both proven that tho.
Gilmour is in the hall as well… Burns’ top 4 was an oiled machine

Belfour was for sure.

Cujo was more in the Freddy Andersen category of good but not great.

Freddie’s 18 month peak? Yeah, that was about what cujo was for a solid decade, including 4 years with us. I still think my point stands that those line ups were pretty darn good.

Well cujo never had a year like this.

Gotta agree with @Bluelines in general though - this Leafs team has way more prime elite talent than those teams did.
