The Leafs looked completely lifeless. Outworked and outplayed all night.

Deserved, ugly, loss. Except Willy, he looked great.

On to the next one.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Domi better figure out quick what it is he does here, because right now it’s just cardio. Minten cannot flub two golden chances like he did. Knies cannot lose his man like he did on the PK. Don’t know how these jokers allowed Perry to get behind them all alone like he did on the 2nd goal but it tracks that in his lone visit here this season he scores.

Frustrating game and effort but not undeserved. Team has been shit defensively through all three games only this time Matthews and Nylander couldn’t save them. Hope Keefe bag skates the hell out of them.

 

[Divine]

They won the deserve to win/xGF battle though!

Team couldn't complete a pass all game

Bertuzzi/Domi have been a net negative so far

 

[A1LeafNation]

Stupid ass defence strikes again

 

[Americanadian]

People paid to watch that.

 

[dubey]

There's the team we know and love!

He gonna be Vesey'd

 

[thewave]

That's the way she goes, boys. Sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn't... She didn't !@#$ing go.

 

[6ix]

Woll solid

Marner horrible
Domi invisible
Defense terrible as a whole

 

[mikeyz]

What is it with this team struggling to get up against bottom feeding teams?

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Plan the Parade!!

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Our defense is literally bottom 10 maybe bottom 5 in the league

Willy and Matthews have it going, have chemistry, but can't get out our there regularly down two? Keefe gonna Keefe .

Can't win them all. On to the next.

 

[Gallagbi]

Felt like we were due for a game like that. 13 goals in the first 2 games on the number of chances we had wasnt goijf to keep up

Looks like Perry got the last laugh tonight

 

[weems]

Leafs barely showed up until late in the third and get a well deserved loss.

Even though we're 2-1 we've played some terrible overall hockey and our record is thanks to Matthews and Nylander playing out of their minds.

We really need to figure out the best line combinations because things definitely aren't clicking right now.

Tough 5 game road trip coming up.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

First 2 games was Guy Boucher…
3rd game was Keefe

Signature goofy plays by Keefe

 

[PromisedLand]

Team can't score and Matthews-Marner are not broken to get a different look. Same shit every freakin' year from the same coach.

one has to learn sometime right?

Complete JOKE!

habs series, bolts series (the one we lost) and the panthers series is still pretty fresh in my mind.

when the F is the coach going to effing learn?

 

[Mitch nylander]

Matthews and Nylander were both very good.

Tavares, Rielly, and Woll played well.

The rest were quite bad.

-----

On to the next. Talent is there. New pieces are settling in. We will be fine.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Doing nothing at 5v5 and putting up goals on the PP and with an empty net isn't the recipe for sustained success

 

[Dave92]

Knies, Minten, Domi, Lily, Samsanov, Keefe. Have provided nothing of value through 3 games.

The defence in general has been awful even by Leaf standards.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Looks like Perry got the last laugh tonight

That's the part I REALLY don't like.

 

[wingman75]

Outworked big time.

I have some concerns after three games. Namely:
- Marner, looks unfocused
- Knies, looks absolutely slow and lost out there for the majority of the time
- Domi, looks sloooooow
- Goaltending, in general

On the positive side, Matthews, Nylander, Tavares, Jarnkrok and most of the other forwards are working their asses off every shift with varying levels of success. The defence are as expected, good, bad, mysterious and hung out to dry so far by the forwards.

I feel good about the group, and feel once they all get their bearings and some more time together they will be fun to watch.

They beat Fat Moron on Saturday but not Rat Perry tonight. Can't beat'em all I guess.

 

[LaPlante94]

I think they need to break up that 1st line. Switch out Nylander and Marner and put Domi on Marners other wing and see if they still got that chemistry from London.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Games like that are the reason this team will never go undefeated in the regular season.
