I love the Leafs fans on the main board using the fact that we went to the Finals as an insult, as if their own team hasn't won a playoff series in 2 decades That's how you know they're truly out of material

And they chirp about how we’re in last place and have under 10 wins(not anymore ) and it’s like, ok? How did you get Matthews and the rest of your core? Oh yeah! By sucking and getting top 5 picks…

What a day to be alive.

5-2. FIVE TO FREAKIN' TWO. Bwahahaha

Another game we five up 5 goals against.... wait what's this? Ducharme isn't coaching and so we SCORED five goals? Amazing!

 

[Runner77]

For sure, Bergevin hanging on for dear life to our late 1st rounders during that period rather than packaging some for roster improvements didn't help either.

However, we certainly didn't get the most out of our roster potential at that time. We always got eliminated in a scoring drought.

Take a guy like Galchenyuk, for all his flaws, and imagine him under MSL. Or Subban with more trust put in his game rather than focus on making him a "better person". List can go on.

Not even God could save Galchenyuk. Extremely flawed player with little going on between the ears. As great as MSL has been, there are head cases that just can’t be helped.

 

[Runner77]

And they should be. I was getting all this grief yesterday from my friends and co-workers about how we're trash and the Leafs don't even need to put Mrazek in as we'd be generating nothing...

This morning, everyone isn't saying a word to me about the game, LOL!

I have no illusions that the Leafs are more talented than we are and probably if they put on some big boy pants and start the game with some urgency, it would had been a different story.

End of the day, we smoked them and made them look like posers. To me anyways, while I'm happy with our efforts and the boys, this still says more about the Leafs than it does us. Simply put, if we can beat them 5-2 and essentially control the game, they got ZERO chance against a real contender in the playoffs.

We might just have forced Dubas’ hand into making another trade.

Leafs are ALMOST as soft as the Habs. Not quite

I love how they're already gearing up to use the division/playoff format as an excuse when they lose to Florida or Tampa, as if they didn't get 2 chances to win against Columbus and Montreal lmao

Habs have looked slow as molasses all season long, yet last night I found Leafs having issues keeping pace…

Galchenyuk is slow and doesn’t have IQ to “read plays” - thoroughly flawed in so many aspects of the game ..

I think it was more that they were wandering around the ice not knowing where to go or what to do. Once MSL gave them a mission, it's been all together.

I think wandering is the best descriptive of it.

I'd say they are. Especially with chiarot back. Edmundson would also help if available.

I mean, they have Jason spezza dropping the gloves and hugging Suzuki after he laid out holl

The fact that Suzuki clobbered and pestered their players and the best they could do was have Spezza answer the call says everything you need to know.

Agreed 100% with the wandering without a plan.

There were also some small changes, like Toffoli out for Pitlick... not the same talent level, but much faster.

I still laugh recalling Cuthbert sounding like Spezza was Messier on that play or something. Cheap shot and recoiled like a coward when someone his size came in.

 

[Goalfield22]

With Muzzin out, good luck clearing the net for your mediocre goalie "tandem", laffs.

 

[angusyoung]

Nice little streak Habs are on,I for one could handle more of the same. See what happens when you apply oneself and try.

Their chirps are hilarious *how does it feel to go to the cup finals and finish last the year after*, little do they know its fantastic to s**** on them with an ass roster all while tanking

Imagine laughs fans, they probably have nightmares about Joel Armia and Paul Byron You could not possibly lose to a worst team than us in the playoffs and they know it

 

[angusyoung]

Forgive me if this has already been posted in this thread, but I just saw this and it made me laugh:

How short is he? wow!

 

[1909]

Just a feeling: Habs gonna get 31 pints in their last 31 games and finish with 60 points.

Gonna draft between 5th and 9th.

Hopefully, they make other trades to get at least another 1st rounder, maybe 2, between 15th and 30th pick.

 

[Gally11]

He was their 13th forwards this season and it seems they didn't like him defensively (at center).

Which is amusing, because MSL is using him a lot defensively (at wing). That's actually why he was the most used forward last night. But then MSL concept of defense might be very different than how the other coaches see it.

Thanks!! Interesting! Well hopefully he’s out next Byron

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

@salbutera

we were talking about how Steve Dangle would react. Well….:

 

[Rapala]

In before we end up signing Subban this summer

Man, gets you to wonder how this team could have looked had we nabbed MSL during our prime cup window...

Unfortunately he was kicking our ass as a Blue Shirt.

 

[Rapala]

Yup. We wasted our window with Therrien as HC.

The window lacked the most important piece. A #1C. But yeah, Therrien's obsession with D and chipping pucks out of our zone limited our chances at producing offense when we needed it.

I would not blame it all on Therrien though (even if I didn't like him as our coach).

The window lacked belief on high that we actually had one. This upset me the most. We all saw what adding a Vanek did for our roster and we all saw what DD was not able to accomplish as a 1B. There was absolutely no excuse for not moving assets to address these two areas,
