Is Torts available?!!!

 

[A1LeafNation]

Why didn't he challenge last night? It was a kicking motion, worth a challenge.

Babcock? Lol

Or as Dj Smith says "the Leafs "'motivated, on a mission' "

Dj's been on the lash.

Agreed, DJ.

Well once the first 10 or so minutes have elapsed anyway.

Probably couldn't bring himself to watch the replay.
I thought it was fine myself.

I think it was a 50/50 call at best personally. Can’t blame Keefe for passing on challenging it. Not worth the chance of getting a penalty

It's the second game of the season and early in the game. If not then, when?

In a very important playoffs game on a goal that has no chance of being called back even based on the TV replay angle

 

[Sypher04]

Coaches challenges should be reserved for just the obvious calls. Definitely not for subjective plays like a borderline kick vs redirect off the skate.

I don’t see the relevance of it being early in the season or the game to whether it was the right call or not.

We had stunk the entire period before the goal happened. I wouldn’t have been in a rush to put us onto the pk either.

well it was the start of the game. I don’t think they would have overturned it but that is def the time you make that kind of 50/50 challenge.

If you don't think you'll win the challenge shouldn't you save it incase you need it later?

Yet another terrible Coaching display by this guy last night ... Continues to overplay Marner - Mathews ... Marner coming off a 1:30 shift is put out to kill a penalty( 2ND PERIOD ) .... Mathews - Marner line out for 1: 24 shift and draw a penalty then they go 0n to stay on the ice for the entire 2 minute + PP .... Common Keefe this is the NHL !!! Coaching like a Dad coaching his sons ffs.

Who do you think is running the ship?

Leafs' Babcock in Arizona to meet with Auston Matthews - Sportsnet.ca

True- Pretty sad way to run a NHL team .... You think anyone would come in and change the player rules for the NY Yankees?

Who's available?

well... in the season Babcock was fired they started 2-2-1.

whoops.

as an FYI, after the next two they were 4-2-1.

 

[Bomber0104]

Bad GM, bad coach, bad core...

How do you pick which to fire?

Maybe all of it?

 

[Gabriel426]

Amalio in the lineup 2-1
Not in the lineup-0-1-1

That’s my advanced stats for the night.

 

[sittler rules!!!]

This organization is a JOKE. The Curse of Harold lives on!!!

 

[sittler rules!!!]

Fantastic regular season performance 1 season in a 6 team division in a 56 game season, the other year it was a alright performance not fantastic

You could have gotten a 6th - 8th seed playoff team having kept secondary supporting pieces like Kadri, Kapanen, Brown, Hyman and letting the star talent go and become a boring defensive styled team

If the playoffs don't change, then the regular season is irrelevant, with the leafs being amongst the greatest disappointments in professional sports history. Don't think there are many teams who would have lost 6 times in the first round with the expectations and high-end talent the leafs have.

Keefe needs to deliver and not get embarassed again. He has to coach the team to a playoff series win

A playoff series win will be considered a success? With this so called elite core. My, my give me the 80's Leafs back where at least we knew they were bad, but they gave a sh&t. This crap makes me sick.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I am not involved in this back and forth, but have just found this debate interesting since I can see pros and cons for D playing their strong side.

How many is "many, many"? I think when there was that big thing about Babcock taking D with the proper handedness to the Olympics there were some statistics to back up that there is a slightly better performance for D playing on their strong side. Having said that, there are exceptions to the rule, but it is a general rule that D play better on their strong side.

Brodie for example I think has probably played his offside for so long he is more comfortable and effective there, and even then when constructing a team I'd obviously take a Muzzin playing RD over a Holl playing RD.

I think it just comes down to giving and receiving passes and potentially board play, and I remember some D talking about how it is easier to defend the rush on their offside, which I am assuming just has to do with your top hand being closer to the boards generally.

OT but I played right wing my whole life until one day I figured it out: I'm going to miss the pass anyway, why not have my stick facing the boards to have a better chance grabbing the puck after it banks back to me?

 

[rocketman588]

The NHL gifted us the easiest start ever as well and we're still garbage

2-2-1 vs the Sens/sharks/Habs/rangers is completely trash.

At least Dubas hooked his boy up with a golden parachute though

 

[FiveHoleo]

Kyle rewards failure with shocking regularity. So much for accountability, the country club is clearly open again and accepting new memberships after the brief hiatus caused by Mike Babcock. The coach wants some effort? Oh well, the Muskoka 23 have other plans tonight, they are planning their first post pandemic vacation to Pittsburgh and can't let something like a game against the Sharks distract them. Keefe is such a cuckolded coach its embarrassing. He needs to ask for Matthews permission to use the crapper, and Matthews makes him raise his hand before asking.
