GDT: Minnesota @ Toronto - Wednesday 7pm

[arthurcason]

I can't watch Reilly not shoot with three guys in front of the net anymore.

It drives me nuts too!

 

[Cleetus]

Berube is going to the nuclear option with Matthews Marner and Willy, they ice the puck lol

 

[LeafalCrusader]

No goals in 90 minutes.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Oh Christ, Berube is doing the “load up line” of Nylander-Matthews-Marner. A massive sign the coach has run out of ideas.

What would you do to motivate them? I am honestly completely baffled as to how someone is expected to get these guys to give 100%.

We all know they have another gear.

 

[34]

Berube’s coaching style is NOT working. It is too defensive and has neutered the offense.

That along with the garbage goaltending is a recipe for a lot of losses

I am thinking a prime Scotty Bowman would lose with these guys lol

Give them a chance. They've only failed every time we tried them together.

 

[wingman75]

the 4th line for Minnesota set the tone scoring the first goal.
Team sports everyone needs to be involved.

Irrelevant. Different team, difference leaders. We have seen for years now, the core sets the tone on the Leafs. Period. Sure, others could, but they do not. So we look to the leaders to do so.

 

[Confucius]

They will need to replace Tavares.
They need a 2nd. line center.

Well they would have to replace him with the best 2nd line center in hockey, tough assignment

Can only tell them to go to the net so many times before you run out of breath

 

[likecheese]

At least we're elite at icing the puck.

 

[wingman75]

Can't wait for Berube's post game presser where he proclaims how well the team played.

 

[glue]

We like to complain about Tavares but the drop off from him to Holmberg is massive.

True, but comes down to their team cap model, when 4-5 guys occupy all the cap, you won’t have the depth during injuries

I wonder if the core ever actually talk to each other and say, f*** me, we really took it all didn't we.

 

[MSZ]

Bowman didn't win a lot of games when he was in Buffalo. It has always been about the players.

 

[Cleetus]

f***ing Holmberg needs to just leave the organization what a failure

 

[LeafalCrusader]

We don't have primary scoring let alone secondary scoring

 

[LastOne2100]

Holmberg has to be waived.

 

[Stephen]

it was McMann 3.46 into the first period Saturday against Ottawa

It’s like we caught Ottawa’s cold streak.

 

[Aashir]

Nylander about to be sub ppg

Matthews about to be a sub 90 point player

 

[ACC1224]

Irrelevant. Different team, difference leaders. We have seen for years now, the core sets the tone on the Leafs. Period. Sure, others could, but they do not. So we look to the leaders to do so.

You don’t get it, all good.

 

[DarkKnight]

Robertson has been the most engaged Leaf.

 

[All Mod Cons]

He used to be used as an example of how good we were at drafting.

 

[LastOne2100]

Robertson has been the most engaged Leaf.

I'll give the guy credit - he tries hard, but positive outcomes are rare.
