Losing streak lies ahead?

[trellaine201]

i think the Leafs have played quite well this year BUT is this gonna be that blip that every team seems to have during a seas9n.

A long losing streak? 5,6,7 in a row?

We have Detroit tomorrow, a very winnable game.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Well I mean what can you do when your talent offense can not score on one of the worst backups in the league? That's pretty disappointing. Defense was fine I guess, but there are no excuses. Guys need to wake up and work hard tomorrow.

Team has been trash for a month. Will lose a bunch coming up

 

[Dragao6]

Played well? I realise we have a good record but we deserve a losing streak as we have played like today all season. Brutal, loved watching thus team last year but sucks this year.

Bright spot....Lock up 29 and 16 long term ASAP
This is why yes we do go after tavares...a sure thing.
Dont know if its babcocks system, lines or the players but simply aweful...tired of babcock

 

[Field of Dreams]

Technically we are already on a losing streak

 

[BlueBaron]

I looked into my crystal ball and thee answer is maybe, maybe not. The important thing is to panic.

 

[FlareKnight]

Completely possible. This team is turning every game into a game that can be lost. Maybe McBackup stands on his head and Detroit doesn't show up though. Anything can happen.

Andersen would've had to put up a goose egg for 60 min. for us to have salvaged a point from tonight's game. At least it was only the first time we've been shutout this season. Hope we can snap the skid tomorrow night and that Matthews is close to returning.

Throw it in #Dahlin

Thread made by someone who seems like he wants a losing streak to happen.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I think we can all see it coming. If they don't change their game drastically there's going to be a long losing streak coming. The boys look like crap out there.

I think its time to bring Matthews Nylander back together. Lots of talk about possible trades happening around the league, gotta wonder what is going through managements head

I agree, I think Auston has learned his lesson being healthy scratched these last few famed

ya hes missed a bunch of fames. I wonder why. Hes a good pro. If we sign Tavares and trade Matthews, we'd be set for a while.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

we've been playing like shit and getting bailed out by goaltending, and our coach said he likes the way we've been playing. yeah I definitely expect us to lose a lot of the upcoming games

Gotta think they are kicking tires on ottawas D

maybe Ceci if sens really are taking calls on everybody. His gf and her family is from thunder bay Just a quick flight from toronto

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Given recent history, they'll go on a losing streak and they absolutely deserve to. They've been awful and Andy is the sole reason they are where they are in the standings. Horrible efforts.

 

[CyBorgman]

Win or lose it's guaranteed to be boring. They're worse to watch lately than Ottawa ever was last season.

One Connor Carrick is enough.

 

[IPS]

Yeah we're due to lose some. Teams played like hot garbage for awhile and has been bailed out by goaltending.

 

[Slyfox]

I can hear the 18 wheeler starting up. It gonna get real ugly.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

One Connor Carrick is enough.

Is he that bad? I pretty much only see him when leafs play ottawa and in thos eshowing I always thought he was carrying Phaneuf pretty good. but again sample soze

Yep, watching the game last night they looked like a bunch of good parts that didn't fit well together.

IMO part of that is self inflicted. The forward lines are rarely the same 3 guys, its hard to create any chemistry when you don't know your line mates habits. For all the science and advance stats the Leafs use, they are slow, slow to the puck , slow to fore check, slow through the neutral zone, slow to adjust to the other teams game pan, just plain slow.

IMO they look like a team going through the motions. they do not have the same hunger,the same tenacity, the same compete as last year.

If you are going to ban Nylander to the 4th line, just bench him, it does nothing for his confidence or help him learn the game playing on the 4th line, stop p***yfooting around and just bench him. Bench Marner for a few games, he isn't scoring , he isn't successful on the forecheck like last year. The fact he is not driving his line should be reason enough to send him to the press box. If you consider the contribution the 2 sophomores are bringing would you lose all that much if you bench them and let Leivo and Kapanen play?

Is this what it has come to? Guessing how long that a team that is 20-12-1 and tied for 6th in the entire league is going to go on a losing streak?
