GDT: TOR @ DET Sat Dec 14

I get it's a long season, but that mindset doesn't win you cups. Not an opinion, it's facts.

Agreed. Sure some games mean more than others, but you gotta show up every night because winning is winning. Picking and choosing is a real bad habit to get into.

 

[notbias]

this is why we never win the atlantic

It's also cause the Atlantic is usually stacked... this is the first year it is wide open and it is the second worst year of the last 5 (so far).

Cant win like this. Wont win like this

 

[frizzer1]

The issue is that they get nothing from the bottom 6.

Cant win like this. Wont win like this

We can and we will

And this is exactly my issue with this team. I would rather than they lose this game 5-1 because maybe it would be a bit of cold water on them. I think they would be well-served by going through a long losing streak. These games become irrelevant if they are simply able to win because they decide to play well for a couple of minutes in the third period and then score in the clown show that is 3 on 3 overtime.

lol at Patrick Kane being a "tough decision" for team USA

We have been winning playing like this lately. Would say it will bite us in the ass in the long run though.

 

[Anthrax442]

We can and we will

Nope they wont. We seent this movie so many times

 

[Mr_Fun]

Knies!

It's like you've never read this script before. The Leafs will try hard for about 90 seconds in the third period and tie the game. Then they will either win or lose in overtime. I think they are just going through the motions trying to ride out the regular season. Lots of teams are in the same boat. These guys are human. They know when games don't mean anything.

Every game matters if you want to win your Division and get home ice in the playoffs.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Knies!

 

[93gilmour93]

Nope they wont. We seent this movie so many times

And it's tied

 

[9Iron]

Kniesly done.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Very Knies response

 

[Confucius]

40th point go Mitch

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Good. Get two more.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Beautiful tip!

 

[cyris]

Nope they wont. We seent this movie so many times

Part of the problem is we have been winning games like this. And because of it they aren’t adjusting like they should

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Knies = Man Rocket

 

[yubbers]

we finally have a guy that plays in front of the net

Top line needs to be spli..... Knies!

I agree that it’s been stacked but serious question here. Shouldn’t we be one of the stacked teams. I keep hearing from posters that we couldn’t win and would be automatically worse without anyone of out core 4.
If that is rue shouldn’t we be considered “stacked”

Great hands! Kniesy!
