Disaster playing without the puck, and can't pass when they have it.

Yea, very few tape to tape passes... that was one thing I noticed from the Canes... especially on the PP was tape to tape.

One other thing I bemoan about is how our players hold on to the puck for sooooo long and then try to make a play. We rarely every make the quick play... we always wait, then there are more guys in the play and less room to manouever. One of the few 'quick play' guys is Spezza... sometimes Nylander, but almost all the others hold on to the puck way too long for my liking.

They havent' gone through many coaches. Just 1 actually with this brass
Babcock was arrogant, but Babs lost in the playoffs to good teams in Boston and Washington

Unlike Keefe, losing to Columbus and the shit show last year against the Habs

Babs team never looked this disconnected

did you miss the 20 games he coached 2 years ago? They sure did look just like this
 
Lol at all the hot takes. Kind of understandable, but still ... ;-)

It will be interesting if they'll get out of this. Not sure they will, but if ...

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.

Yup, and this has been obvious for a couple of years. The bottom 6 basically skates around really accomplishing nothing.

How many players from the Leafs would Carolina want on their team given the amount they’re paid? I can only think of two. Matthews and Nylander and maybe not even them.

I don't think Keefe will be fired. If he is then Dubas will be gone too. I just cannot see changes happening mid season though.
I would think the Rogers being in civil war will probably complicate any board-related moves at the moment.
 
That's fine. I'm more than happy firing Keefe and Shanny and whoever else. I just want Kyle gone. I don't want him to make a single decision more regarding the Leafs. Nothing.

Some of us have been trying to explain this to the rest of the fanbase for two years!

I can only wonder how much better this team could've been if we hadn't hired Kyle in the first place.
 
Keefe's system is holding the skill guys back. Up and down the wings, rinse and repeat. JT, you are also on thin ice. Start being a captain.
 
Babs had us missing the playoffs 2 seasons ago. Let's not get crazy here.

The ONLY reason for bringing back Babcock is if you want someone to harass and abuse this team because you hate them.

It won't lead to a better hockey team, but at least the players lives would be as miserable as they make ours.

I've read on here, a number of times actually, hockey is supposed to be entertaining.

Bringing Babs back would be entertaining.
