Post-Game Talk: We suck - Leafs lose 4-1

[Bomber0104]

How come Mason Marchment can play and be somewhat effective for Florida?

Traded for Denis Malgin.

 

[ULF_55]

did you miss the 20 games he coached 2 years ago? They sure did look just like this

Yep, looks like the same team Babcock had.

 

[fahad203]

Can we all agree that Engvall and Kerfoot are overpaid and useless. Kerfoot has become cringeworthy to watch and Engvall is not an NHL player.

I honestly don't know what this brass sees in them. I just can't figure it out
If these are our best options, we are fcked

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Who will be the biggest loser in the next game: Hawks or Leafs?

A washed up French Canadian Goalie who used to be one of the top in the game versus a team who continually finds ways to let you down.
Hmmm. Dunno

 

[Brown Dog]

The Cap killed your team.

Bunting and Kerfoot in the top six? Every player in the Leafs bottom six besides Spezza is either damaged goods or were never good. It’s just not a good roster. They could try their very hardest and it wouldn’t be good. 2019 was the best Leafs iteration and was probably only a piece or two away from a Cup, and it lost Anderson, Hyman, Kadri, Brown, Kapanen and Johnsson and has nothing in the lineup to show for it besides Kerfoot.

Yeah, but how does a team like Carolina consistently ice a good, hardworking team with good top-end players, good depth, and no cap crunch?

Shane Wright in the Blue & White challenge

 

[Nineteen67]

That's the problem.

I don't know what game they were watching. Even when they had the lead they were getting badly outplayed. At no point throughout the game did it feel like they could seize momentum.

When Carolina quit skating they had a chance to get within one.

 

[PromisedLand]

The worst part is i moved to Singapore for work and now i have to wake up at 7am to watch the games.

damn!

that is some dedication. Its one thing for us here to ruin our evening and then try to go to bed. Its another thing to wake up early ruin your morning and then try to smile and be civil or jovial with everyone the entire day.

how do you do that man? if it was me in singapore i would probably stop watching the leafs

 

[Nineteen67]

Traded for Denis Malgin.

That’s amazing, isn’t it?

 

[wingman75]

Shane Wright in the Blue & White challenge

Nah, they'll go on a heater at some point and just squeek into the playoffs... and of course lose in the 1st round. A loss in the 1st round = house cleaning for me. When is enough enough?

 

[Havoc]

Why is there no 2022 Draft thread up yet

 

[PromisedLand]

It actually amazed me how much hate he got this off season.

I guarantee you any true leafs fan who knows hockey would not ever hate on a player like hyman. the hyman haters... i wouldn't categorize them as leafs fans in a true sense when they fight and bicker to justify everything that dubas does

 

[mikeyz]

The worst part is i moved to Singapore for work and now i have to wake up at 7am to watch the games.

I salute you my dude.

 

[fahad203]

lol coaches dont step on the ice mah guy. at what point is it just the guys on the ice just not getting shit done? the players need a real wakeup call.

If that was the case, why even have coaches. Outsource that shiit to India or Autobot it

If coaches and managers meant nothing, why is Mourino, Klop are always on demand. I guess Scotty Bowman didn't do anything, he jsut let his team play, same with Al Arbour, John Cooper

Coaches job is to get team ready. Find flaws and work on them

Tonight's game was a prime example. There was no urgency, no fight back, no pushback. Same with any games Keefe coaches. Dude's way over his head. He doesn't belong in NHL

Our entire coaching staff is green. Name me one person who's been in NHL coach even as an assistant more than 5 years?
Manny Malhotra. Everyone else has their first gig with us

 

[DarkKnight]

Tonight WAS a statement game. Nobody said the statement had to be positive.

Absolutely, and it spoke volumes.

 

[aight]

Leadership = Tavares, Dubas…

is anyone in Canada happy with their hockey?

i really think the answer is no

the only ones who really have a reason to be, and it’s not that great, is they have the best player in the world

the rest of us have nothing

what we do have is blocked by the people utilizing them

 

[Racer88]

Yeah, but how does a team like Carolina consistently ice a good, hardworking team with good top-end players, good depth, and no cap crunch?

Because their GM actually understands hockey and how the cap actually works

 

[ToneDog]

Team was much better tonight. Only lost by one field goal tonight.

 

[Fogelhund]

Leafs Haiku

That was bad hockey.
Maple Leafs should feel bad too.
I feel bad watching.

 

[A1LeafNation]

I miss...

Hyman
Kadri
Kapanen
Brown
Komarov
Bogosian

Collective cap hit is what 10.9m?

 

[yubbers]

Yep, looks like the same team Babcock had.

Just Babcock was making life hard for them when they started getting their heads up their asses. Then was fired for being mean. Dubas nurtured that energy. And the inmates now run the asylum. Babcock leaves the toy store when a kid throws a tantrum. Dubas buys them whatever they want. They're spoiled. And I don't think you can mend that at this point.

 

[Legendary]

STOP WATCHING!

 

[mikeyz]

I guarantee you any true leafs fan who knows hockey would not ever hate on a player like hyman. the hyman haters... i wouldn't categorize them as leafs fans in a true sense when they fight and bicker to justify everything that dubas does

Agreed 100%. I was arguably the president of the Babcock hating fan club on here, but even I agreed with him back when he called Hyman "A gud pro"

 

[Smif]

The Canes team identity is very much like Brind'amour and the Leafs are like Dubas.

That's what happens when the coach rewards effort and not the size of their salary.

 

[The Examiner]

I guarantee you any true leafs fan who knows hockey would not ever hate on a player like hyman. the hyman haters... i wouldn't categorize them as leafs fans in a true sense when they fight and bicker to justify everything that dubas does

It’s crazy how quickly people forgot that he was carrying this team until Edler kneed him.
