Pre-Game Talk: TOR @ VAN Jan 20

[1specter]

Just as I thought, that Calgary game was smoke and mirrors bullshit.

 

[Stephen]

Might as well fire Keefe at intermission.

 

[Rare Jewel]

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.

You do not need that, just load up the forwards and watch out!

 

[MoreMogilny]

Our top players are also completely unwilling to do it. That is right from day 1 with all of them. It isn't going to change. That isn't to say I am not in favor of firing Keefe. But these guys are what they are.

A real coach wouldn’t accept anything less than everyone being on the same page.

Tocchet has been benching Kuzmenko because he’s not playing the same forecheck game as the rest of the team despite being the first guy into the zone often.

Cooper had Tampa all on that same page. Cassidy employed the same type of system en route to a cup.

Maybe if Keefe had the the balls to do that to our stars instead of being passive aggressive in press conferences we would be a bit more competitive.

Wonder what Torts would do to Marner.

 

[mrJT]

brutal, just brutal.

 

[LastOne2100]

Basically looked like we were on the PK for most of the first.

Pathetic.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Knies needs to go to the Marlies..

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Can’t blame Jones. He’s a third string goalie. Blame the people playing him every night.

Seriously, seems weird to me that people are mad at Jones given if we were running Sammy we probably would be out of a playoff spot right now.

 

[mogs]

Jt just got owned in front of his own net. Soft

 

[Stephen]

Well Calgary sucks so it’s the kind of opponent to outskill them. Not a serious team that’s coached well and on a roll.

 

[Cleetus]

Might as well fire Keefe at intermission.

no way he survives this lol

 

[Apex Predator]

Just as I thought, that Calgary game was smoke and mirrors bullshit.

They always do this. Play good for a few games and everyone forgets.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Might as well fire Keefe at intermission.

Some Cammarleri-style trades as well.

 

[MSZ]

To be fair, I think I’d be happy if our players were that excited to dominate a game

Unfortunately our team dominates no games. Our players have no swagger

Not accurate at all. We have seem them dominate an opponent like they did against Nashville and Pittsburgh. That's why fans are not happy with those clowns because they are clearly capable to do this but unwilling to do it on a nightly basis.

 

[Smif]

Is Berube a hard ass coach?

 

[TMLegend]

Scores a bit misleading, this is probably a 1-0 game with an average goaltending performance.

 

[therealkoho]

Great play by 34, 60 feet away through 5 guys and loss of possession

You can hardly expect him to use his brain and try to manufacture a scoring chance

 

[Confucius]

Might as well fire Keefe at intermission.

That would save the night, do it pizza boy

 

[Raging Bull]

Love to be a fly on the wall for Tavares passionate leadership speech during the intermission.

 

[CelticDruid]

Has Nylander done anything since he signed the new contract

No

 

[HockeyMad68]

I wonder how the Greg Berube negotiations are going

 

[93gilmour93]

 

[PromisedLand]

FIRE KEEFE

 

[eramosat]

Vancouver just recognize that this game is in the bag and don't really care anymore

thank you for the reply. am still interested in whether overall Leaf compete level improves or not.

 

[Nevins]

This team would be a bottom feeder without Matthews.

Probably the worst-built team in the league. 4 elite forwards, 1 good defenseman and nothing...
