GDT: Sens @ Leafs - 7pm - HNIC

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Defence on this team can’t move the puck which is a big reason for the lack of offense.
Example.. mccabe, as good as he is defensively,gets the puck,has time, and misses Marner with a pass.
Over and over again.
 
This team will forever be in purgatory, good enough to win a round or two but not close to good enough to go all the way. It's doesn't matter who is added or subtracted from the players to the coaches, the team is built to be mediocre.

Yeah, this team isn't making it out of a playoff round
And worse, we once again reflexively overpaid and burned not one, but TWO 1st Round picks.

The owners and the GM are pretending as if this is the first year of a nine year experiment without a body of work and track record to compare. At least they have SOME term on their pick ups, but the core have really handcuffed this team and cost them the natural development of a team through draft picks.

Avs lose Rantanen and everyone says "the sky is falling" and instead they are deeper and more dominant than ever, a legit Cup contender (who still might lose in the first round due to the match ups) where no one was saying they were such a threat when Rantanen was there.

I wonder how this team would have looked with some more prudent and honest decisions over the last few years when it was clear what the constitution of this core was.

Regardless, watch the team with an understanding of what they are. Any playoff round successes will be a surprise to me.

The league has us figured out. We keep getting rope-a-doped in our own zone. We're spending all our energy collasping and chasing the puck around our own zone around the perimeter. That's on Berube

Our break outs are putrid.

Hard to get offense when every time the puck leaves your zone you're desperate for f***ing change.
