lol this is not a big game for us. It’s another Saturday. Were comfortably I. First.

It’s a big game for the toilet seats, they need 2 points to get into the second wild card
We’ve said this for 8 years and then when we are sitting back looking at a game 7 loss with Dekes for days saying “we played the cup finalist/a top 3 team in the league”, then this game will matter.

Not showing up against a hot divisional rival at their building is embarassing, nothing gets these guys up. A game 7 winner takes all wont either.
 
jfc how many times do they need to hit rock bottom and be embarrassed? It doesn't do anything to them, they don't give a shit. They leave with their millions and OF models and the fans are the ones who deal with the pain

Seriously. These Leafs have been embarrassed many times. It’s just routine for them now. All the losses to Boston, the humiliating Tavares return game, the Zamboni Driver, 3-1 blown series lead to these same Canadiens, a blown 5-0 lead to Columbus and I think Ottawa (that might’ve been 5-1, big difference), etc. It doesn’t do anything. They’ve got no rage, they don’t hate to lose. They’re too cool for school.

I'll be honest, I just don't think the Leafs are a very good team. If you look at their under the hood stats they have been getting caved in regularly for over a month, and if you employ the eye test they lack speed throughout the lineup and dynamic ability from the defense. None of this is to mention the bottom 6 forward group which has been a problem for a few years now. The Leafs need to save their bullets and try to fill the holes in the offseason. There are too many holes to plug at the deadline.

If you told the fanbase what the future holds, after the Capitals series, you'd be labeled the biggest troll on the internet.

All the talent in the world and they’ve had fewer series wins than the Columbus Blue Jackets who don’t even usually make the playoffs. I don’t care what the year to year circumstances look like, there’s a massive character defect for that to happen.

Why can this group never get up for a big game? Complete no shows.


I was feeling great about the group earlier this season, Berube had them playing well, fighting through injury etc and then it's like....nope...back to reality. These are the players...
 
I’m sure we’ll see some juggling if the game keeps going this way. It won’t be Domi though with Tavares out.
I still think we should look into it, and put Marner nylander together

Nylander needs a better playmaker than Matthews and we could try minten/Holmberg in the middle.

For this game, we probably just see a typical line blender.

THANK YOU. Exactly. Not to mention, anyone with any winning DNA in them after 8 YEARS of being bounced early when supposedly being in the convo for best in the world and getting TWO coaches fired treat this season like there is no return and they are going to war.

They played hard for 2.5 months and then went right back to soft, listless, purposeless hockey. Keefe said it best 3 years ago almost to the day

 
Every Saturday is a big game. Keep giving these f***ers excuses
To the fans. Not the players.

It’s another Saturday game against a team that’s been a bottom feeder for a decade.

NJ was a big game against our old coach and we showed up.

Stop panicking in January. Mtl won’t even make the playoffs. Who gives a shit. Game 40 something
