The fans have seen this team be a shit show for over a decade minus a fluke in 2017-18 and 2022-23. This was literally the type of play we saw all last year. A hyped up new andWell that wasn't good but it's only 1 game and I expected Toronto to come out flying after being shutout last night.
I will say I really don't care for the boos from some of the crowd when the team came in 2-0. We win Saturday and Monday and the team won 4 out of 5. Relax a little people.
Fairly simple solution to your problem is to simply not watchThe fans have seen this team be a shit show for over a decade minus a fluke in 2017-18 and 2022-23. This was literally the type of play we saw all last year. A hyped up new and
improved team looking like last years trash? Come on.
Yeah a few players were soft in this game, the coach is calling it out so what? The fact that the coach is calling it out already shows you this isn’t last year’s debacle.Sure it’s baseless comparisons to the effort level trailing lol. I mean the coach even called them soft.
No one is writing the season off. I didn’t like the effort in the third you did. We can disagree it’s not being an outrage take.
I will add that’s a long list of excuses
First game back from Europe (5 days ago)
Quality opposition (will have a lot of them this year)
Team coming in off a loss (will see that a lot too)
Sheldon said that? Geeze if he posted that on here people would think he’s being dramatic and writing the season off lol.
Some of you need to calm down lmao babies
Lots of good to take away from the first 3 games

So then you and the coach agree with me some (I think more) players were soft tonight and they were soft last year as well. I’m glad the coach is ripping them which is why I’m not worried about the season just making observations. Yeah and the devils got good goaltending tonight the lack of effort did them in. If that was shit goaltending like last year it’s probably 6-1 loss because they would’ve mailed it in way earlier. Goaltending again is good so far. Effort not so much. Glad I could help bud.Yeah a few players were soft in this game, the coach is calling it out so what? The fact that the coach is calling it out already shows you this isn’t last year’s debacle.
I don’t give a shit about random fans thinking the team wasn’t good at nebulous shit like “effort”. Most fans think that anytime the team doesn’t look good it’s because they didn’t put enough effort, as if every loss is simply a matter of not having the will. They were working, they just weren’t executing. Every team in the league has games like this.
That’s not a long list of excuses. It’s three elements and it’s quite a common recipe for teams losing. You can look it up…sportsbooks even adjust their odds for that stuff.
Still think it’s humorous that now that we’ve gotten what you were clamoring so much for in an average goalie, you suddenly have an eye for everything going on with the skaters.
Oh so you’re just miserable by default no matter what, got it.I can simultaneously be doing shit, lounging around all while also shit talking about an underachieving mentally weak hockey team.
Sure as poop sounded like Timo and Jesper are sick of Jack's lack of chalance...
Like onto their backs? Is that some sort of scientific experiment or just vivisection?I’d like an extended look at Palat and Cotter flipped.
No lies detected!42 pages for the third game of the season. We're back and we're a passionate bunch, that's for sure!

I’m not liking what I’m seeing from him. He made a really cocky entitled chirp from the penalty box last year and his play since then has been…idk the word…lazy? He looks sulky out there to me. Like a kid who’s not getting his way. He’s still producing but his overall play is immature in my observation.It was less boong and more groanings.... Not a flat out massive boo but I kind of love it that fans already jumpy. They care a lot. The end didn't get a lot of moaning. Fans accepted it and moved on. Thought it wasn't a bad fan response. A lot of initial joy then disappointment. What else could be expected here with a 3 spot to Toronto early on, after some dubious play by a few people and vitek level goals allowed.
Frustrating game for a home opener but it's game 3 and we still 2 and 1.
The main guy that I'm worried about is Jack. Mainly because i know he can be so much better and so much more positively impactful. When he has an off night it is noticable. Kinda like the old Kovy (ilya) comparisons, the puck is always on his stick and you will notice it when he really screws up. I am worried about the trend in Jacks game since he phased out last season. Same sort of pattern. More worried in long long term vs. short term. I expect and hope Jack's game to mature from 3 seasons ago.
We all know what to expect from Palat, haula and to a degree Stefan. The first line wasn't great either.
They were solid defensively under Keefe too.I shouldn't have shit talked Berube yesterday, I agree with the broadcast and, at least on eye test, thought the Leafs were very solid defensively.

Is it just that, immaturity? Is it that he’s just off mentally from his shoulder injuries? Is it just an extended temporary slump?
I don’t know, but so far I don’t like it. You compare it to a guy like Bratt, who even when he’s not “on” you never get a bad sense of his vibe. Jack is giving off bad vibes.
