Comments like this frustrate me, not just you, I have heard it a bunch of time, as if its some sort of a Toronto thing that permeates the air and water no matter who we get it can't be shaken.... talk like that is sad, and just shows how negative some of this fanbase really is.
Overall, the team played amazing!
4 Breakaway goals, just when the canes made a mistake, we made them pay for it.... so it seems to me like 42 minutes of greatness is being shadowed by 3 minutes of moments that are not only fixable, but we are missing the key guys in both special teams.
What happened here today, is easily fixed, there is no reason to act like this team has some sort of permanent cooties. I bet you they will come out stronger against Philly with this 1 point rather than if they got 2 points. Maybe its better to get 3 points out of 4 than being overconfident and only getting 2. You never know, what happened today is a teachable and easily fixable moment.
I'll take the 42 minutes of hard nosed play and call it a positive for the team. No need to doom and gloom, sure wish it turned out better, but I think in the long run the team will be better for it.
Thank you leafs, I had a good time watching today's game. I wish it ended better for the squad, it did feel like a gut punch, but the team we faced was no slouch, and our key guys were out. Thanks to the players for a great effort, especially Samsinov!.
