Pathetic effort again. FML

 

[HockeyVirus]

Matthews demanding these short term 4 year contracts is a blessing for our organization

 

[thewave]

They look like shit, come out with one good period and win it in OT off a Matthews goal from a Marner assist lol.

Lets get Leafy

One big problem is our D core not scoring. There is a massive issue with that and Rielly has been so terrible that it makes no sense that changes haven't been made.

 

[Macallan18]

Berube can f*** off with his love for Kampf. Bring back Minten and send that plug to Mars.

No fire him into the Sun

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Throw a massive offer at Chychrun. Desperately need a legit PP QB and point producer. Rielly looks cooked

OEL should be on PP1 and Rielly on PP2

 

[FrankieC]

That's interesting, they're dominating our 'stars' right now.

Lees to do with their D and more due to the Leafs lack of effort and play..

Should be dominating what is more or less an AHL d core.

My friend no one is scoring under our coaches system

That's the guy I would focus on also. He would fit perfectly on the Leafs PP1.

 

[Racer88]

Reilly should be on the bench

 

[All Mod Cons]

Feeling is mutual.. truly. We cannot afford to get slower and there is no way he wants part of this core.

I just hope we lock up the remaining two members of this core ASAP.

They're running out of ways to cater to him. Maybe next year, Jumbo will be an assistant coach.

I’m sure it’s coming

Why?

Motivational coach

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Team looks like shit. Top line and Rielly are an absolute joke.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Why?

Because as good as he is, he has been playing injured almost every season through his 20's and I see no reason why he suddenly becomes durable in his 30's. Imagine paying Matthews 14M until he is 35 and he can barely skate out there

We'll pay him more than that with the cap going up. Only way these guys are not Leafs is if they have retired.

It is not just not scoring but we have to play such a vanilla o zone game compared to many teams. You are seeing more and more high 3 or even high 4 man stuff and going high to low with speed with one guy at the net.

We have virtually none of that. Rielly should be able to do it but it's not part of our system. Watch Hughes.. ... The Canes are a perfect example and it was their tweak in personnel to a more mobile and offensive group that has them doing things they have never done before to create offense. It is why they have their 4 lines balanced because you aren't relying on offensive skill or rush offense. Your D are the play drivers.

It's a completely different way to play hockey. Leafs.. we will do the exact same things we have done for 8 years except this time it is with a few bigger D. Hope our goalie stands on his head

 

[Macallan18]

But you should also fully expect the Leafs to have an even worse 3rd period

No, they will make a huge push and juuuusst fall short

 

[HockeyVirus]

We'll see. If they are running back the core 3 years from now and they haven't at least made the final 4 the fan base is going to check out like they did before Shanahan convinced the board a rebuild was the best path

 

[PanniniClaus]

I just hope we lock up the remaining two members of this core ASAP.

Tonight hopefully.. burn the midnight oil after this beauty.

What does their pathetic power play have to do with the coaches system? Was he coaching them in the playoffs last season.

[sxvnert]

Time for Berube to grow a pair and mix up the pp and es lines.
