Too bad on the PK tonight hasn't been the best. Sammy couldn't do much on the second goal. Probably his best period this season.

Nice little play by Reaves too. I get why people are chirping him but a nice block and got it down the ice without icing at the end of the period. Underrated play.

Too many times leafs let late goals and they're killers.

I understand there are fans who don’t see the need for toughness on a team. I just disagree with them.

The leafs have been getting physically intimidated and taken advantage of for a decade, and it hasn’t led to any success.

It’s fine for the bruins to beat up the leafs on the ice and the scoreboard, or the canadiens, or the lightning, or the panthers, etc but it’s not okay to stand your ground for the leafs?

We played this game with Dubas already, it doesn’t work. You can’t play clean and hope to capitalize on the pp when teams bully you because in the playoffs, you’re not getting all those powerplays.

It’ll be basically even in powerplays every game, so yes you absolutely need someone to do some of the dirty work.

Especially when your top 6 has zero toughness at all

You misunderstood me. There's a pretty massive difference between team toughness and adding goons. The Leafs need to get tougher I.e going into the corners, throwing hits, pushing other teams around. Some guy playing 6 minutes a night has almost zero impact. Treliving tried to address the toughness by adding guys like Bertuzzi and Domi. Those 2 are scrappy and are capable top 9 forwards. Ideally, you can find a Wilson or prime Lucic. It is possible to be as tough as Reaves without being a total goon.

Our bottm 6 needs more zest in their game
There's serious lack of depth there.

We only have pennies to go around at the moment. We should see an upgrade at the deadline where those pieces are generally easy to come by. Someone like Neiderreiter, Duclair or Johnson would be a decent add.

All those players are more skilled than Reaves, so yes, literally any of them. But I'd also just rather a good forechecker like Acciari who got paid 750k more, about the overpayment of Kampf.

Perry and Reaves will never fight so that point is just silly.

I liked acciari too, but he’s also a huge black hole on the scoreboard.

Reaves isn’t playing 18 minutes a night, and you can’t have a team full of players who play 18 minutes a night anyways.

There’s no reason to think reaves and Perry will never fight, unless Perry decides not to push it too far with reaves watching him.

I get it, Perry is scared to fight reaves. That’s the entire point of having him.
 
Saros is probably the only goalie who's under 6 feet?

I didn't think that was possible anymore
