We know who gets the belt tonight. Imagine some posters want to trade the guy who is playing with a busted face while giving 13 million to a guy who carries his man purse on the ice.
Let’s see matthews/marner. Marner plays like shit
Willy has great games
Change to matthews/nylander. Nylander plays like shit
There has to be a common denominator if I could only figure it out.
 
I’m far from thrilled that they go to the shootout every single game but they’re still stacking up points, and I trust over an 82 game season the ROW thing corrects itself.

Matthews needs to get his head together, we’ll see how he fares against Boston but if it’s same old same old I’d sit him for the next.

Sitting Matthews would be incredibly stupid
 
Woll really pulled that one out for them. He has to be the starter now. Happy for Mitch too obviously. I thought the team actually battled hard in this one but there are just too many miscues. Probably doesn't help that the ice looked like complete dogshit all game.
 
You know. For those in the past who complained the post-games threads were silent after wins (I'll admit to being someone who has done so), these wins are the perfect storm. Anger and negativity but the team won! We have found the recipe!
 
Thank God Marner's hat trick wasn't wasted.

Another night where they needed 4 to win

And you guys wonder why I'm concerned about the goaltending.

I know they have a great offense I wish they didn't need to rely on it so much.
Funny enough Grant Fuhr got himself to the HoF with a plethora of games with 3+ goals against
 
Tristan Jarry has more goals than Max Domi so far this year...

Hope he pots one soon and gets rolling
 
Great game for Marner, hopefully this gets him going. Nylander hasn't looked the same since coming back from Sweden. Matthews....... Ugly stuff.
At this point, the Leafs have two major problems:
1) Matthews is playing like dogshit and is dragging down everyone he plays with.
2) The team has no defensive structure whatsoever, leading to them hemorrhaging scoring chances when they try to lock things down.

The randomness of OT and the shootout is quite a thing. The Leafs used to have poor OT and shootout records, and now they are damn near a guarantee in extra time or the shootout. No rhyme or reason to it. I despise 3 on 3 and the shootout, no matter how many points the Leafs take from it.

The Leafs can't play in traffic. They just don't make their own room around the puck, and they can't get it back when they don't have it.

Total lack of jam. No one fears playing them -- they're like the Ice Capades.
Beating the Leafs is like winning the Stanley Cup for at least 22 teams
