OT: 23'-24' Toronto Maple Leafs Overreaction Thread

[hurdemz]

No offense to McCabe but Holl is way better

This statement is a joke. Just like....

 

[therealkoho]

I think my neighbour's across are spying on me and being aliens may be planning to abduct me and probe my inner workings.

Treliving needs to make Keefe wear a paper bag over his head for the next game!!!

 

[Aloysius]

If the over/under for Keefe is 15.5, I'm taking the under.

 

[MK78]

I'm not over-reacting, because this is typical Leafs starting the season slow and unimpressive.

Yes they're 2-2, but in reality it's almost 1-3 because of that crazy comeback and SO win in game 1.

But that counts only as 1 regulation win.

If it's like this by game 10, maybe start to worry.

 

[saffronleaf]

lmao newGM's acquisitions are awful just like anyone would have foreseen. rock bottom IQ oafs like domi and bertuzzi aren't gonna make the difference. come on now.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Not too, too worried yet. It always takes a few games to get used to different players and find your sea legs.

I find Domi is the most troubling right now for my money as he's doing nothing offensively, can't pass a puck, and looks like a liability in his own end. I'm sure he'll pick it up in the coming days but it's really ugly out there for him currently.

there's a reason every team gives up on him so quickly

Bag Skate the entire team!

We already have, we returned you last Tuesday.... you may want to gargle...

What percentage of Toronto's goals have been 5 on 5?

No over reaction just the sad reality that this year doesn’t look much different then the last 5 years

and why would we?
same core.
same bore.

 

[mjd1001]

So you are advocating for a coaching change? Beceause if there was a 'bag skate', the core of this team would run up to see Shanny so quick to complain about the coach and demand something be done about him.

This is an overreaction thread where emotion + comedy dictate the postings here.

What the heck are you talking about? Do you think that I honestly want the entire team bag skated after 4 games?

If this is an over-reaction thread as you said where comedy dictates the posting, then why aren't you looking at MY post the same way that you are asking me to view yours??

Some people are just SO thin skinned regarding replies to their post I guess, especially in a thread dictated by emotion and comedy. lol

 

[Ciao]

I'm sick of Max Domi already.

All it took was the replay of a defenceman blowing by him to the Leafs' net just before a goal.

I have a low/non-existent piss-me-off threshold this week. Hopefully, that passes very soon.

I'd also rather see Bobby McMann over Ryan Reaves on the fourth line.

Domi and Reaves look like black holes in the Leafs' lineup to me.

Sorry. I misread your angle. Hi5

Three years in a row the leafs got off to a pretty bad start and fans reacted. They did not OVER react. They reacted properly. Because the problems we see at the beginning of each season are the same problems we see every post season. The team is designed poorly and our cap allocation is bonkers. Our management refuses to change it.

The season is long and teams start playing complacently after a month or so. That's when our star players shine and carry the team to a decent record. Only to be humiliated once again in the playoffs when the other teams start trying again.

It's happening again. This always the very rare moment of the season where leaf fans react properly. Which of course will be called "overreacted" later in the season.

You mean spending 5.5 million on a #6 OFD, and a 13th forward was a bad idea on a team that was already top heavy and having to piece together a back half of the lineup?

Have you watched Last Seduction? One of his best!

All our signings are horrible, and we probably should have just kept Dubas and fired Keefe.

I disagreed with some of Dubas decisions, but there wasn't anything too bad the last 3 years and most decisions had a logical if not agreeable process to it than fans could understand.

I'm worried we just signed up absolute horrible contracts in FA.

I’m trying to be the optimist here.

Dubas needed to go but so did Shanny
