[Canadian Finn]

The last 5 times Matthews touched the puck he just gave it away.

I've kept count.

but if we fire Babcock, magically he is going to start playing again.

dontcha know?

Yeah but how much money is he making?

 

[keonsbitterness]

The most lethal Terminator ever created.....until the next movie.

 

[Legendary]

Matthews looks ****

I think his shoulder is hurt. Took an awkward hit the other night

 

[Puckstuff]

Matthews needs to learn how to be a playmaker he keeps making terrible passes, 1 assist all year. All he has shown is that he is a world class shooter not that he’s a top 5 C in the world. Those that think he’s better then Barkov or Begeron are delusional!

 

[The Kessel Run]

I wasn't even excited on that 2-on-1. We all knew the outcome.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Hit the net Willy!

 

[hamzarocks]

Hope to see a 91-34-16/88 line to start the third. Down 2 goals we need to play the top guys together if we want to comeback.

Nylander misses the net too much.

That's the most frustrating thing about Nylander.

 

[MattySnipes]

Nylander shot hit Orlov stick. Relax.

 

[Dave92]

So Dubas was "bullish" on our defense last year and has supposedly improved on that already good core since then. Which included taking the worst Dman off the worst team in the league and putting him on your top pair.

And outside of a hot start to last season the team has looked terrible and played at an 85ish point pace. But we hand out contracts like we're the defending champs trying to keep together a super team.

Sounds like Tavares at the opposition blue line too.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Stick Matthews and Marner together already

Never understood why we didn't explore this more often. It doesn't have to be long-term decisions, just a go to thing when we need to switch things up a bit.

 

[JerseyMike34]

Can Nylander ever hit the net ?

Nope. Not off the rush.
He's a passer, with silky smooth hands, he also NEVER hits anyone, only stick checks. He won't even lay his own weight on a guy along the boards, and he's loves a slow backhand float pass to the point on the PP.

 

[Leafs87]

This team looks like it was built by some computer nerd who never played hockey

 

[SnizzMitch]

Matthews has looked like shit for 2 games now..

 

[razkaz]

Will we see the patented Babcock blender come out and maybe load up the top line and try and get one?

Tune in to find out!

 

[Beyonder91]

Can Nylander ever hit the net ?

These are the type of games where Nylanders low compete level sticks out like a sore thumb

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Let’s not start doing this again

Feels like this exact post was in every thread last year

 

[Ifittex il Verita]

Nobody seemed to be interested in answering me.
Why The hell does Matthews get such a free pass.?this is a f***ing embarrassment how much he’s avoiding contact

 

[Gallagbi]

Perfect time to do throw Matthews on the wing with JT and Marner for a few random shifts

 

[Stephen]

The Leafs look like they’re just making it in after that horrible sequence that led to the 2-2 goal. No indication they plan on mounting a come back.

 

[Al14]

Nylander misses the net too much.

Needs to be paid $11.0M AAV to actually hit the net!

Dubas short changed him and this is the results.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Why is the Toronto home broadcast spending so much time talking about the Washington baseball team?

 

[ULF_55]

How much do we attribute this to not having Hainsey this year?

Hainsey took his smarts with him to Ottawa.
