Game could’ve looked so different if Mitch had shot on that early 2 on 1. Instead we fell behind big early and that was that. Another typical Leafs loss against a shit opponent. The more things change eh?

Just a brutal team performance.
One of the worst games I have watched.
At least Knies scored and good to see Robertson get on the board.
Knies is becoming a real problem.

Sucks we dont have the options to be able to bench Rielly & Tabares down a few spots

Team needs to bounce back on Thursday. Could be 4-4 with a loss and competing in the toilet bowl rather than for the cup

I didn’t understand why they continued to run the stars up yesterday winning 5 1.

Made no sense. We don’t do well in these games anyway so might not have mattered but a definite tactical error.

should have just rolled 4 lines and 3 D

Honestly, Matthew's had one of his worst games I've seen from him in a while. Every play died on his stick and he was a turnover machine.

Feels like the same old Leafs, every year it's the same thing, always some really good stuff followed by some abhorrent stuff, it seems this team from it's core out can never put together elongated stretches of pure dominance. We'll see where they're at later on in the season, but so far so same as far as the team producing the same results no matter how much tinkering is done (defensive partners, gms, coaches, goalies etc).

The boys played like they went immediately to the bar and didnt get in until the sun was coming up. Columbus came out hard, skating and hitting and putting their will on the game and only let up for a few stretches in the second.

Hildeby got very little help but has to have goals 2, 3 and 5, two off the rush with better angles and better positioning on the Monahan goal.

No one on the D-side looked good, Benoit especially had a hard game.

They didn't look 'bad' on offense but it's kind of moot when you spot them 4 goals.

Nicky Bobby at least, the crucial 2nd goal in a 6-2 loss.

It's a long season and there are going to be games like this, move on.

Strange night. Florida got steamrolled by the Wild, Boston losing to Nashville, Dallas losing to Buffalo, Ottawa lighting up Utah. One of those early season nights.

Horrific effort from every player not named Knies. Shows the importance of a good goalie when the team is trying to find its legs. Hildebeast turned into Hildepuppy. He isn’t ready for the big show and if he’s not careful he’ll be surpassed by Akytmov.

It’s all about the response now. Berube has to show something otherwise he really isn’t an improvement on Keefe. Stacking the first line? That was very Keefian.

Btw, get the f*** rid of Holmberg, please.

Put themselves in a hole and couldn’t capitalize on the chances earlier to get back in it.

Not much puck luck, but they didn’t deserve it. Forgettable night.

Go to work Berube

Still early under Bérubé but same team so far. Crap against crap teams. Solid against solid teams in the reg season. Playoffs yet to be decided.

The core 4 led the way tonight. That was f***ing disgraceful top to bottom. Hildeby was putrid also which made this look worse.

Bag skate these f***s tomorrow
