Klingberg does not appear to have an NHL brain at this point in his career.

Last year American Thanksgiving the leafs were 11-5-5
If that is the so called "time to face the truth " let's see where we are
Surely domi will have a goal LOL

Put Klingberg on Waivers once McCabe, Timmins and Liljergren are back.

 

[hullsy47]

Maybe the worst since cliff fletcher got fingers by Jeff finger

Not sure why nobody told him wearing #3 was a bad idea in this city..

 

[Cor]

He makes me miss Justin Holl

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I thought Swedish Tyson Barrie at the time of the signing. Guess I set my expectations too high!

 

[Rare Jewel]

I had an open mind when they signed him, but deary me...

 

[KPower]

He’s dogshit, just the like all the other offseason signings.

This might be the worst leafs team of the Matthew’s era.

 

[stickty111]

Whoever in mangement suggested him should be given his termination letter now.

At least Bertuzzi and Domi contributed offensively tonight. Reaves is still a waste of a roster spot and Klingberg is just atrocious.

This is a must. Him and Reaves have to go

0% EV defense is hilarious

 

[Stephen]

This guy is somehow consistently worse on every puck touch than anyone could have imagined going into this season... just erratic, poor decisions and a constant negative on every shift he plays.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

0% EV defense is hilarious

Isn't that like, his main job? lmao

 

[Leafidelity]

Isn't that like, his main job? lmao

That's like what you'd expect from a forward taking a few reps on defense in spot duty lol

 

[Carltons Cup]

Larry Murphy: this city ran me out of town in a hurry!

Klitberg: Hold my beer.

 

[TMLAM34]

I tried defending this signing but man it just keeps getting worse and worse every game… He’s been out played by Lagesson and even Benoit for the fraction of the cost.

 

[leafsfan5]

I cannot wrap my mind around how we gave this guy 4.15 million and let EGus go for .800K

What a colossal waste of cap space

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Treliving's knack for finding talent appears to be as good as Klingberg's knack for playing defense

 

[Mr_Fun]

He's just a minus machine his entire career. And now at age 31, he's a little less fleet of foot and shows no signs of wisdom.

Until we get a Dman or two back, it's likely going to be a gong show with him most nights as we kind of have to play him right now.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Defense aside he does nothing offensively. His shot isn’t a threat and he makes unnecessary gambles as the last man back.

 

[sittler rules!!!]

This guy is somehow consistently worse on every puck touch than anyone could have imagined going into this season... just erratic, poor decisions and a constant negative on every shift he plays.

TJ was no gem out there tonight either

 

[Smif]

Hated the fit when we signed him, but, thought we'd have another weapon on the PP that we haven't had aince what seems to be Bryan McCabe. But he doesn't have any shred of anything positive in any way, he's terrible.
