Post-Game Talk: Hurricanes at Leafs 7:30 PM Sportsnet

[Maplebeasts]

yeah, Chicago and Philly have been tough as well... but statistically, they got nothin on the way Carolina and Buffalo spank the Leafs decade after decade. I say the Leafs have 2 top menaces: Sabres, Canes. They can't beat these guys if their lives depended on it, all the way back to the birth of both those teams. The Leafs have at least had winning streaks vs. Chicago and Philly from time to time... but against Buffalo, all they've ever done is lose. Same with Carolina. They've never been able to put together a streak against them, not in the 45+ years (Sabres) of their existance. It's just lose, lose, lose. See for yourself how bad the stats really are, especially vs. Buffalo:

Didn't we beat them on Nov 20th?

That's first time in a presser I've seen Babs quite noticeably frustrated with what he has to work with this year.

i think he looked at the calendar and realised how much longer he had to go.

You go from a team that has Zetterberg and Datsuyk to Bozak and Kadri. That's tough.

 

[Pyrophorus]

0 for the amount we've played.

Just like our division

I think Leivo would have helped this game. Still don't know why he sat. I hope he sees the ice vs Montreal.

 

[Defense]

Nice block Komarov

No, let's play the 2 useless plugs in Clune and Winnik instead

He was very complimentary on the youngsters playing on the Hurricanes blueline; and they do have some very good players back there.

I don't mind Winnik too much but what is the point of Clune?

Neither have played poorly at all this season. Those two, Leo and JVR have been great. It's just that all of our other forwards are barely NHL calibre.

I have not liked the way Winnik has played this season.

Meh, the centres aren't that big of issue. It's the wingers; it's just grinder after grinder.

JVR's absence only highlights it more.

Yea, but they are still not at that level. But yes, he has gotten all he could out of them.

That is one of the more moronic statements I have read here. Lupul, Bozak Kadri and many more are NHL calibre players.

Every team has NHL caliber players. So what? Ours are not that good.

 

[KPower]

Reimer deserved a better faith tonight.

At least(for him) he is increasing his contract demands.

lol. he can demand all he wants in Toronto but they'll still laugh him out the door

So you can't actually see when we do have nice things?

Cruelly funny.

Babcock, I hope he can get through his first few years here, its an exhausting city, very electric.

I think Babcock is terrific, but man, it would have been nice to hire him in 2017 not 2015.

Bozak and Kadri were part of the NHL caliber group but it still was a bit much.

Good game but man do we miss JVR, with him in the lineup this doesn't go to OT I think.

That is hilarious as well.

He's a Christian and he isn't switching.
