Pre-Game Talk: TOR @ VAN Jan 20

[Captain34]

this looks like us vs sharks

complete dominance from Vancouver

This! Looks like an AHL team playing vs. NHL team. Embarrassing!

 

[MoreMogilny]

what happened to Willy???? WE DESERVE ANSWERS

He got paid

That’s all he cared about.

His play became AWFUL as soon as the contract was signed

He took us to the cleaners

 

[theTTC]

We get a powerplay because we're down 2 early. No way we get that call otherwise. f*** this league with the reffing. It's just all about the score and keeping penalty calls as close as possible.

lol Books have been written on this, with entries on this very thing by NHL refs. Precis: sponsors paying $billions have deduced that viewership increases when games stay close. Refs get the heads up before certain games to adjust penalties, and by extension the score, to keep it appropriately tight.

I could reference this, but it isn't pre-med university around here, so look it up.

 

[Rob Brown]

f***ing Keefe needs to go. Doesn’t pull Jones. This team is a mess

He's prob thinking that Jones can handle it better than Samsonov will.

 

[LastOne2100]

f***ing Keefe needs to go. Doesn’t pull Jones. This team is a mess

Pull Jones for Samsonov? How the f*** do you expect that to help us?

 

[Blanche Blanche]

3 goals on 9 shots.

Jones is a gutless coward

to be fair the whole team doesn't know positional play at all..

Keefe has regressed the entire team LMAO

 

[34]

The Leafs are going to miss the playoffs.

 

[GoonieFace]

Did Hoglander and Matthews come from the same pen?

 

[Mr_Fun]

Just saw Brodie.....wow.

 

[Dragao6]

How did Willie allow himself to go from newly minted superstar, top 5 in scoring and darling of public transit to 2019 Willie after signing that contract?

Because real GMs would know who the real Willy was all along

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

All the wannabe thugs from Surrey are gonna be thugging it out hard in their base model chargers after this one

 

[KPower]

This Vancouver team is going to be a tough out, big D and elite goaltending. If they can add another top six forward watch out.

Good depth too, and fast.

 

[PromisedLand]

Sheldon keefe is such a f***ing Joke he hasn't pulled Jones yet

 

[mcleex]

This team needs better defenseman. Were like 3 points ahead of 6 other teams and could potentially drop out of a playoff spot
Triveling sitting with his thumbs up his ass doing nothing

 

[Burnie97]

This franchise is nowhere near firing Keefe.

It will take us missing the playoffs to get that done.

That's the sad part. It probably will take that.

 

[MSZ]

This is a .500 team folks. They won the previous game so obviously they will lose the next one. If they have a winning streak they will end up having a losing streak to balance things out

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

3 goals on 9 shots.

Jones is a gutless coward

He's just a poor goalie, I don't think we need to question his bravery

 

[Raging Bull]

This team would be a bottom feeder without Matthews.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Vancouver went from a dump to a Stanley cup contender because they made a couple smart acquisitions and brought in a coach who demanded they play a tough, tight system.

All we’ve done is handed out massive contracts and let Keefe continue to get outcoached over and over and over

 

[supermann_98]

Vancouver is celebrating like a cup winning game here. Chill with the cellie Garland

 

[Blanche Blanche]

He's prob thinking that Jones can handle it better than Samsonov will.

samsanov will need a shrink during the intermission if this was him

We are watching the implode of our team.

Coach needs to go and we need to sell

 

[Atrusai]

So we get blown out and Keefe is fired tomorrow, no?

If we can get rid of Shanahan at the same time that would be great.

 

[Confucius]

Time to put my Mathews and William hat on. Let’s go Matty just a hasty away from 40

 

[pcruz]

If Keefe has any gumption at all, he benches 88.

Enough is enough.

Needs to be benched for the rest of the game see if that sparks something for tomorrow.

 

[sxvnert]

At least Jones bought then a couple of weeks while Tre sits on his ass and assumes this team is going to the playoffs.
