Very surprising result. /s At least I made some money on it.

Might be their worst effort performance of the year so far.

I'm done with Holmberg. Easily our worst forward every single game. Reaves as least can play a role time to time. Only thing Holmberg does successfully is take costly penalties.

Marner pathetic effort tonight.

Distinct losing motion...

Man, never go full Max Domi on HNIC with an equipment malfunction on a puck retrieval. Kind of says it all about what kind of night that was.

 

[hamzarocks]

We didnt play the Bruins /s

 

[13pacheco31]

That's about as leafy as it gets

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

that fan at the end lol

 

[MSZ]

5 game losing streak incoming.

 

[francis246]

Matthews was invisible tonight honestly

 

[mikeyz]

Yeah. I don't want to face Ottawa in the playoffs.

 

[Evilhomer]

If you can only score one goal against Anton Forsberg, you should probably lose. On to the next.

 

[ToneDog]

Yeah. I don't want to face Ottawa in the playoffs.

You'd rather face Shesterkin?

 

[LeafSteel]

Yuck.

That is all.

Just………. Yuck

 

[BraveCanadian]

Such a boring game.. Leafs have reverted into a slow, cutesy passing, perimeter team again and aren’t going to the net nearly enough.

When will Matthews be back? Didn’t see him tonight.

 

[BayStBullies]

You might think the Leafs continued their strategy of losing to bad teams, but you'd be wrong. You see, they want the Sens in a wild card spot so they can secure a first round BYE.

 

[Suntouchable13]

3-5 in the last 8 games. Hey, I get it we have some injuries.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Ottawa's a young up and coming team. We did a good job of hanging with them in their house, moral victory IMO.

 

[LaPlante94]

Need offence and we have to throw out Kampf and Holmberg as our next best options at C since Tavares is hurt. Holmberg line was the only one getting chances late when we needed a goal. Other 2 lines were brutal. Should be working the phones 24/7 to try and get another C so we aren't forced to play 4th line Cs as 2nd line centers.

 

[hamzarocks]

We need to either bite the bullet and give marner 12.5M-13M x 8 (yuck)

Or deal him ASAP for max value

No need to run the core 4 again in the playoffs. They cant beat defensive teams when the pressures on and the lanes are clogged.

Really low confidence this team can beat anyone but Tampa and maybe WSH in the playoffs

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Reaves and Holmberg cannot play another game for us. Replace them with literally any AHLer

 

[ToneDog]

Matthews was invisible tonight honestly

Saw him alot with McDavid eating McDonald burgers.

Matthews was invisible tonight honestly

Can you be considered one of the premier players in the league when you bring your A-game 2 or 3 times a month?

Max domi is paid 1.25 mil per goal.

If you can only score one goal against Anton Forsberg, you should probably lose. On to the next.

They always score one goal against Anton Forsberg. It's who they are and why I don't even bother watching games against Ottawa. As I said in the GDT, this was the most scheduled loss of the season (until we play Ottawa again).

We need to do exactly what the Avs did and trade him for a long term return signed to a reasonable cap. Unfortunately he won't waive his NMC.

Otherwise an actual cup contender would bite.
