Said it last night on TSN's post-game roundtable. But has repeated it a number of times in the past. Obviously not a big fan.Did he say that before,or after BB became the coach?

Not Bennings fault, he only had 8 years to put a good defense together. This is all hindsight, Luongo recapture, Gillis, injuries, foresight, Abbotsford floods, and ran out of timeCraig Button of TSN on the Canuck defense--"the worst in the National Hockey League". Seems a trifle harsh but on the other hand, after watching last night's excruciating 60-minutes, it's hard to argue with him.
Odd comment considering OEL,Myers,Hughes and Schenn are having resurgent seasons.Said it last night on TSN's post-game roundtable. But has repeated it a number of times in the past. Obviously not a big fan.
Dare I say we miss Sutter, Beagle, Roussel and Loui??
Doesn’t make it easier when their division rivals have Vasilevsky and Bobrovsky (when he’s on).I don't know what it is about Rogers Arena, but the Leafs just seem to find different ways to lose.....I remember last season when the Canucks came back from a three week break after half the team was hit with COVID, and still found a way to beat the Laffs on Horvat's OT winner.
I realize Leaf fans have lofty expectations of their team.....but they're not going too far with their goaltending......Campbell and Marazik won't get it done.
Sutter would probably be better than Dicky..At least he could win draws ,score and defend…Unfortunately,he is always chronically injured.Dare I say we miss Sutter, Beagle, Roussel and Loui??
Any defense with Hughes is not the worst in the league. Hamronic was hilarious in a bad way last night with Hunt, Burrows and Scheen that is 4 number 7 plus dmen in top 6 so yeh I see that d as one of the worst.Our blueline is obviously very bad but it’s pretty clearly better than Montreal’s or Buffalo’s or Arizona’s.
How long was Hamonic out for..10 weeks..?..What were you expecting after one practice...?.., I thought he did a good job.Any defense with Hughes is not the worst in the league.

Even some of the reporters wanted to dwell on the' negative' aspects of the game...Boudreau wasnt having any of it.This place is so entertaining whenever we play the Leafs. The saltiness of Canuck fans towards them and (especially) their fans amuses me, especially when their fans outnumber ours in our own building. The number of posters who seem peeved that we won (ruining a perfectly good tank) are also fun. The ones who want to trade everyone baffle me though; they hate on just about every player on the team bar Demko and Hughes. These poor people will never be happy...
I was thinking of what team they reminded me of. Came up with the Canucks under Burke when they kept collapsing due to goaltending. The goal scoring could never keep up with the goals against and as a fan I never felt confident the team could win in the playoffs, while they did have regular season success. I recall Cloutier's 30 plus win seasons, etc.If the Leafs had Demko, they'd be a legit Stanley Cup threat.....but with their goaltending, they're just 'pretenders'.

Love it.
And the next day it might be Miller, or Boeser, or Motte, or Demo again.Without Denko this is a lottery team
Without good goal-tending most teams are lottery or pretenders... see Oilers, Leafs, as pretenders, see Flames with Markstrom. It isn't rocket science. Canucks for the most part have been equal to the task and have outplayed most opponents under BB. I wouldn't read too much into this game other than, they relied on Demko, and they played they line matched the leafs top line. While I don't like it, it is what it is.Without Demko this is a lottery team
