yeah. end of the day im not putting too much stock in this game.

this aint the team we'll be icing in game 1.

We are a different beast with 34 in the line up. Add a LW at the deadline and even more so.

this game, quite frankly, means absolutely nothing.

We've said that in our last 3 losses itsc 6 points lost.

Leafs have looked like this team with 34 in the lineup to finish every season for the past 6 years...

this game meaning nothing would mean something if the team showed up when the games mean something but they don't

Hopefully doesn't come to that

Would wonder which era hurt and disappointed mote

The Kessel era or the maythews one

Matthews one for me personally. They rebuilt, i.e. started from scratch and its quite a failure IMO

kessel era was bad with salutegate and missing the playoffs but it wasn't a rebuild; as teachers pension plan (prior owners) wouldn't allow a rebuild.

not to mention:
- losing to zamboni driver
- montreal colors on the CN tower
- hiring and firing a psycho for AHL position
- etc.... (respect in handshake line, and other crap)

an intelligent coach would do this to get some offense going.

Montgomery put pasta on the 2nd line starting 2nd period. There is no effing around on boston
Keefe is at heart a minor league coach with a minor league vision. He is seriously over rated for the job. Gifted with an abundance of talent but dosen't have the know how nor attributes required to make them winners. We will never win with him at the helm just obeying directives from above....This whole mgmt group & some of the core have to go. We need a different mindset and culture change....both on and off the ice.

This team doesn't have a high pressure gear. They seem to do well in a low pressure, positive environment but the moment there's a feeling of a big game situation and they seem to hit a brick wall offensively and their cheap parts start making costly errors.
Humiliating comments by Marchand couldn't even motivate this team to battle. There is no bark back...meanwhile poor Bunting is the only NHL caliber player on this roster with any pride.

Personally I think it is a culture issue. They put players on the pedastal above team when Dubas became GM and it was just downhill from then on IMO.

Cooper also came in from minor league but no issues there

If the guys playing on the team don't seem to mind, maybe we shouldn't either?
