Post-Game Talk: Van Ryn's system and Jones hand another loss

[Rare Jewel]

At least we don’t have to listen to Hughson walloping his hog in the commentator’s booth all night.

I’m a glass-half-full kinda fellow.

You can bet there were some white rocks in white rock tonight.

 

[GoonieFace]

So Canucks are trash, but we lost to them. It was all the refs fault, powerplays were pretty much even.

Maybe if they played the first period, the outcome may have been different

 

[Stephen]

Idk I am a bit surprised they dominated the mighty vancouver canucks for 2 periods

Feels like Vancouver was in the midst of a Leaf-y breakdown themselves but our cheap parts broke down at 3-3. Or 4-4.

Nothing good happens when Giordano is on the ice. The guy had a long and decorated career but this is an awful way for him to exit the game. Please pull the plug on this guy.

Geez, even Jim Ralph is calling out the referees after the game. The radio guys still going on and on about how uneven and bizarre it all was. "A strangely called game".

You guys here have to get it through your skulls: the referees are competent, very good in fact. They are managing games exactly as they are supposed to. Obey your major sponsor betting houses.

 

[Smif]

We're in rough shape boys

 

[BallardEra]

Does a coaching change happen?

I think it does if they lose tomorrow.

 

[6ix]

48 shots against is "structure"? Demko and the officials are why they won. The Canucks were a tire fire tonight. If that's how they usually play, they're gonna get stomped in round 1.

Structure has nothing to do with shots against. Leafs were down almost all game and just throwing everything on net. Canucks executed on the PP and PK. Marner getting a shorty was nice but that’s just a great individual play.

I don’t think Keefe is the coach next week. I don’t think that Calgary win was enough to save his job

We may need to step up from having a smoke to sniffing some glue.

 

[xxOCZMSxx]

I have a suggestion for all of you… don’t watch the games… do what I do and listen to Bowen and Ralph on the radio. You’ll be much less stressed not actually seeing the mediocrity and Ralph will force a beverage or two through your nose with some DRY smartass comment. It makes for a much more enjoyable experience on the whole

 

[wingman75]

I thought going in they’d be sellers, but who do they sell? Benoit might be their biggest trade assset.

Anyone on expiring contracts EXCEPT Benoit!!

 

[34]

I f***ing hate that Vancouver fan base. I really hope they get smashed and swept in the first round.

 

[Nineteen67]

Tavares has to do the honorable thing and request a trade.

We've got 120 games left of this shit.

Yep. Where? The Leafs would gave to retain max.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

I f***ing hate that Vancouver fan base. I really hope they get smashed and swept in the first round.

So you're wishing the Leafs treatment on them, huh? Pretty harsh.

 

[Stephen]

I think it does if they lose tomorrow.

Tomorrow is a real wild card. I would expect 1 or 2 points vs a very average Seattle team, but you have the bad Samsonov karma entering the net and this team looks like it's utterly lost. If it goes the way I think it does, there's no way Keefe survives the Winnipeg B2B.

looks like a players light, I need a few Dumaurier full flavors to end my night lmao!

 

[Nevins]

The only solution I see.
A new coach with experience who installs a team system where defense is important.
This summer, during the draft, exchange Marner for 2 good Young players + draft packs,a defensive defenseman and a forward.
Do not re-sign Tavares, make room for young players, no longer exchange draft choices .

 

[fahad203]

This Leafs team doesn't really excel at hockey other than maybe the 6 on 5 goalie pulled shooting gallery where they look dynamite. Doesn't seem like it's built or coached to really excel at any aspect of the sport. Weakness everywhere, in all zones, all positions, most situations.

I'd just fire Keefe, get Berube in here to start revamping the culture, clear some cap and start getting ready for what is a good offseason retool.

Sure. But that's not the leafs style. Lou Lam doesn't work for us anymore
We are not going to do anything that may upset some of our players

McDavis is going through his 4th coach. They went to conference finals?

Not us.... you know... Stick to the Shanaplan

 

[Doublerum1975]

Pretty much, yeah. I want them to lose. Missing the playoffs might be the catalyst for actual change in this joke of an organization. When they win, I'm angry and step away, because they're just delaying the inevitable. Lmao

Yep you are real fan not

 

[frizzer1]

Brodie and gio are done.
Lilly is easily muscled off the puck.
Mccabe is awful with the puck.
You can’t compete with that defense.

No matter what matthews marner and Nylander do.

 

[Dave92]

Marner is a great player, but he's a total Bitch, and a mental midget. He can't be one of your "leaders". Send him, Keefe and Bertuzzi packing.

Get some half decent D.

 

[34]

We're in rough shape boys

Big time. They are going to miss the playoffs.

 

[Nineteen67]

Anyone on expiring contracts EXCEPT Benoit!!

Benoit is the only player that won’t require the Leafs adding a pick.….kidding….sort of.

 

[wingman75]

I f***ing hate that Vancouver fan base. I really hope they get smashed and swept in the first round.

Based on what I just watched, I don't know who they are beating in a seven game series.

 

[Shooter2x]

Keefe is an idiot running Knies into the ground on the top 6. He wasn't ready to run with the big boys.

Now he's clearly banged up from the abuse and going through a useless stage. If we just kept him in the bottom 6 all along, he'd still be flying.
