Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose

[behemolari]

Who blocks shots like that in October? That's ridiculous.

Finns do

 

[All Mod Cons]

We've got to seriously look at this big four and make a decision. It is not going to work with them. It makes getting a supporting cast correct an extremely hard task.

There's something not right in the absolute core of what this team is. Take a look at a guy like Bertuzzi. Rolls into Boston and gets 36 points in 28 games. Turns up here and looks pretty much lost.

Something isn't right and it always comes back to the cap and building a team. Jarnkrok does nothing. Knies and Minten need more time. Domi isn't effective at all.

If the big 4 don't score, we're still f***ed. We need a complete reset. We finished last season with about 1/3 of a roster as UFAs. We're pretty bare bones to be honest.

 

[Buds17]

That was the type of game I wish they could have won, or at least extracted a point from. Still hoping and waiting for all of the necessary elements (offence/defence/goaltending) to appear at the same time.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

one thing we’ve really f***ed ourselves with is the 3C position, minten is no where near ready. Dude is not going to score at all at his current level. He needs to go down. However we have a glaring hole there and I don’t think holmberg fixes that.

 

[Mike4Leafs4ever]

The leafs always start the season like sh_t. No change here.

Bobrovosky did what he did to us in the playoffs. We cannot figure him out. Hopefully we dont see them in the playoffs again.

 

[LaPlante94]

Imagine getting mad at Reaves when our top 6 still can't score on Bobrovsky

 

[HellasLEAF]

Man teams truly act like they'd rather take a bullet than let the Leafs take a game from them in October.

This.

 

[Cleetus]

Funny these Dubas Lovers never post when we win a game, but as soon as we lose, they come out making fun of a guy who just got the Job, definitely not leaf fans odd flexes here

 

[Sniper99]

Keefe not finishing the road trip. It'll get that bad.

boy are you in for a surprise.

 

[mapleleaf979]

Domi no role, Bertuzzi no role, Minten out of place, Over playing 1st line, Marner played almost 24 mins. Who's fault is all of that? Keefe.

 

[centipede2233]

Keefe was just extended, he’s not getting fired, tleast not this year…

Reaves is supposed to be our prime lucic to some

Put Domi at 3c and call up Robertson

That's what's funny too since Pittsburghs bottom 6 might be worse than ours at 5v5 atm.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

So if we start 2-8 he isn’t getting canned?

I might be willing to sit through that for his job resignation

just like the team that was managed by someone else last season, that could never score more than 2 goals in a game in a 5 game series....

 

[Aashir Mallik]

True, but now you are either banking on kampf Reaves Gregor to play dzone starts or Matthews Marner placeholder to do it

I can’t believe I miss the 2021-2022 3rd line. Mikheyev Kase kampf engvall sometimes was a nice combo, too bad almost all of their offences evaporated in the playoffs

 

[BallardEra]

Keefe was just extended, he’s not getting fired, tleast not this year…

He could still get fired. That extension was done to remove the lame duck look that he’d have going into the season.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Oh no we suck again

 

[thewave]

Keefe was just extended, he’s not getting fired, tleast not this year…

They don't care about that. It was 2 years for peanuts compared to Babcock. He really needs to go and probably one of the biggest reasons we are not making meaningful gains in the PO

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Keefe will gone soon at this rate, so it's fine by me

 

[TIGERCOOL]

This.

For real though... People wonder why guys like Bert and Domi are a step behind. You think they were expecting game 7 intensity from 3/4 teams they played to start the season? This is a foreign experience for new Leafs.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Even if the Leafs are firing on all cylinders, the Golden Knights look way better. This team does not look or play like a real contender.

 

[mikeyz]

Exactly. Burke did the same thing with Wilson.

 

[Amadeus]

This team is showing signs of no chemistry. But the thing is that they played the same way to start the season last year too. They've given up the first goal in each of their games as well. Not looking good, especially Marner.
