Pre-Game Talk: TOR @ VAN Jan 20

[leafs in five]

I think we should pay our guys less.

yeah Domi should be like a PTO guy, Bertuzzi league minimum

 

[Cleetus]

f*** this team is so bad its not even worth live thread status lol

 

[leafsfan5]

Very impressive how Vancouver re-tooled their defense. They added Hronek, Zadorov and Soucy in under a year

Got bigger while maintaining good mobility

 

[KPower]

Don’t worry boys and girls, we’ll turn this around when we sign Marner to 13x8 this summer. Lol

 

[leafs in five]

It's astonishing how bad Dubas f$$$ed this team. Our cap situation messed, our veteran depth gone, draft picks purged, the culture of this team destroyed, coaching terribad. It's just shocking.

Even if we get rid of the mediocre coach, I don't even think the best coach in the world could coach this sad bunch of losers to a cup. It's only getting worse next year when Nylander, who's closer to a 9 million dollar player than a 11.5 million, contract kicks in (and I really like Nylander).

Very few things I like about this team, Woll, Knies and Matthews and that's about it (considering their contracts).

we were pretty good for a few years

 

[Aashir]

yeah Domi should be like a PTO guy, Bertuzzi league minimum

Matthews 11
Marner 9.5
Nylander 8
Tavares 7

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Montreal beating Boston.
We are getting embarassed.

We will be leapfrogged soon by rebuild teams because thats what WE NEED TO DO

KEEFE, MARNER, JT. Bye bye

TRE WE NEED TO SELL AT THE DEADLINE.

 

[supermann_98]

when Nylander starts making 11+ Petterssen will be making 13+

I'd rather give Petterson $13m over 8 years than Marner $13m over 6 which is what he's gonna want

 

[Aashir]

Don’t worry boys and girls, we’ll turn this around when we sign Marner to 13x8 this summer. Lol

marner will break the trend...........

instead of signing per year 13x8years, he will sign 13x8months

 

[theTTC]

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

Exactly. Like getting mad at a fish because it breathes water and not air. He is what he is.

Management procured him and the coaches play him - it's their choice he's in net, not his.

 

[Confucius]

wasn't that the same as when he signed his last contract he didn't do anything untill his new contract needed to be signed

5 points, I think this is his 7th game

 

[Larcos_Unal]

yeah Domi should be like a PTO guy, Bertuzzi league minimum

Those two have been incredible disappointments

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Might be the laziest period from Willy all season.

I don't get how a team can constantly play so bad to start a period. Keefe has to get fired. Leafs can only beat meddling teams consistently. There aren't many meddling teams in the playoffs.

 

[stickty111]

Jones has turned into Jones of last 5 years.

 

[Cleetus]

Montreal beating Boston.

Boston just tied it, Debrusk scored

 

[horner]

Everyone needs to buy in we don't no fire no passion it comes from the top line down .
Our top guys wont

 

[Nineteen67]

Very impressive how Vancouver re-tooled their defense. They added Hronek, Zadorov and Soucy in under a year

to compliment their drafted stud.

Boston just tied it, Debrusk scored

TTOE down ….

 

[egd27]

Maybe. First 5 minutes will probably tell the story. Vancouver was wired for that 1st period whereas the Leafs didn't have 1 player who looked game ready. Not one.

Happens far far too often.

 

[PeteBestondrums]

That covid year with the Canadian division was the best shot this team is ever gonna have at a cup and they blew ot in spectacular fashion.
Save some massive changes, it's almost certainly gonna be another 1st round exit this season...there's zero character to this team...zero.

 

[mcleex]

How has Woll been injured for this long

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Very impressive how Vancouver re-tooled their defense. They added Hronek, Zadorov and Soucy in under a year

Got bigger while maintaining good mobility

But we won the Klingberg sweepstakes so I actually pity them

 

[pcruz]

I don't know why people are shitting on Jones

Management has run him into the ground playing him all but 1 game the past month

2 of those goals were inexcusable in the NHL.

He let in a goal above his shoulder on the short side.

That can never, ever be allowed in the NHL.

 

[capfit9]

Jones has turned into Jones of last 5 years.

Kinda like Nylander, except Nylander gets a raise

 

[BallardEra]

Leafs video guys should have gone full on Zapruder mode and found a way to overturn all three of those goals.

 

[Aashir]

Jones has turned into Jones of last 5 years.

tbh he's kept us afloat very well the 2 months

the wheels were gonna fall off, we didn't just stumble upon a starter or even backup quality player for a PTO
