Toronto Maple Leafs are surprisingly underperforming

[jcs0218]

Marner is the most arrogant, entitled overpaid punk in the NHL.

What did he do?

 

[leafsfan5]

We are finished

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Without a 60-goal Matthews, the Leafs are mediocre.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Call the Leafs 5th string goalie up.

Kallgren lost to SJ, Anaheim & Arizona and didn't put .900 goaltending up against any of those offensively-challenged teams.

1.) Samsonov
2.) Murray - Injured
3.) Woll - Injured
4.) Kallgren - can't put up a .900 against bottom feeders
5.) ?

If you watched any of those games you know he’s far from the issue.

How is he far from the issue when the other goalie is putting up a .920 against better teams? The Leafs were the better team in every game he lost.

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

They have too much talent for this to be prolonged so is this a case of Keefe "losing the room" or something?

I'm no Leafs fan but this current stretch is bizarre.

The Leafs were the better team tonight?

lol

 

[snipes]

Leafs fans deriding the Pacific yet get pummeled by the Kings and then lose to the Ducks as well after first getting beaten by the Sharks.

The Kings would eat the Leafs lunch in a playoff series

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

At least they're grown men.

It's one goalie losing all these games, and he's not the starter.

Leafs are playing him against the weakest teams in the league to get him confidence, and he's blowing them all with a below .900 save percentage every game.

Don't get me wrong, the Leafs haven't been good... but they outplayed all the bottom feeders Kallgren is losing to.

 

[nucks88]

At least they have the weak Pacific teams to beat up on….

 

[Donner]

They'll recover and be a good team

However this type of stuff and the media absolutely hammering the top talent isn't going to help the resign Matthews cause

 

[Divine]

The Leafs were the better team tonight?

lol

Only if you look at the numbers objectively. Did you miss Gibson's save on Tavares and Marner? Or Kallgren's weak goal on the NHL 97 wrap around?

 

[MessierII]

The poor negotiation with those guys is a possible weakness there, but even there I'm skeptical. Fans are routinely assuming new signings are overpaid. Even there I doubt it would be a huge overpayment

As for the moves you mention after that, you're picking the worst of them. He's done what a lot of GMs who need to shake things up do. He's being aggressive. When it comes to these side moves he's done a lot of good ones too. Any GM who has a mandate to be aggressive will have flubs in there

Sure he’s done some smart little moves but the overall direction and big moves have all been horrible.

It’s like the apologists who think it was brilliant to let Hyman walk and pick up bunting to replace him. Picking up bunting in isolation is a smart move but thinking he replaces Hyman and all he brings to a hockey team is ridiculous.

He essentially runs the leafs like it’s gm mode in ea sports. Pick up the big point scorers and think that’s the recipe. Newsflash….it’s not.

The season is over for the Leafs. Put a fork in it. The rebuild is beginning.

 

[Kennerback]

This is the point when people start to get fired.

 

[CalgarySnow]

They listened to Barry Trotz saying it would be intriguing to coach an original 6 team and are trying to force it

Didn’t the Ducks outplay the Leafs for large portions of this game?

When you go into a season with that goaltending you’ll lose a lot of games like that

Lol, Edmonton signed Jack Campbell for $25 million. Glass houses….stones. Yeah.

They didn't go into the season with Kallgren, he's their #4. Unfortunately, 2 of their goalies are injured.
