Hutch was ok. Just ok.

Too bad we didn't get a PP goal. Could've been the difference tonight.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

I'm borderline rooting for the entire team to slump for the rest of the season, especially the big guys, so that we can lock them all down for the next 7 years affordably.

 

[Peiskos]

Leafs need new special teams coaches, it’s becoming really brutally obvious now.

 

[LeafSadist]

 

[Nineteen67]

That was a well deserved loss.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Why won't anyone think of the CHILDREN?!

 

[Liferleafer]

Fix the f***ing D Dubas....night all.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Hard to win when you play well for 2 minutes in the first and 15 in the third

 

[SoCal Leafs]

Very disappointing after such a good start to the game.

 

[ECanuck]

The team that deserved to win got the 2 points.

 

[Kamiccolo]

So yeah. I love Matthews. I think he can be the 2nd best player in the NHL rather easily. When he is on, he is so amazing to watch and completely tilts the game.

However the play he has been having lately, despite his points, has been terrible. That's fine for a 8M player or even a 9M player, but if there is any truth to this McDavid money stuff, or even the 13M, then he needs to be much much better.

 

[MattySnipes]

Too many giveaways. Terrible coverage. Hutch looked good in his first game. Congrats to Willy on his first.

Hopefully Pettersson doesnt set some record on Saturday.

 

[A1LeafNation]

3 goals on the last 15 shots on Hutch.

An entire new set of coaches!

 

[MSZ]

Why won't anyone think of the CHILDREN?!

This combined with that Saturday night game which a lot of kids also attended.

New generation what?

 

[FlareKnight]

They did put on a show for the kids. Also taught them that life is nothing but disappointment.

 

[Nineteen67]

If Boston wins tonight they’ll only be 4pts back. It’s gonna be a fight for home ice.

 

[DueDiligence]

Leafs aren't good defensively. Andersen was covering up alot for the whole team.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

That was disgusting

 

[great]

Matthews rest up and come back 110%. Right now he doesn’t look like the powerhouse Matthews. PP looks terrible, same old stuff, no creativity, no magic. Kadri also not playing like his usual self. Willy and Marner great.

 

[Knies iT]

The Leafs PP desperately needs a one-timer presence when teams collapse on Marner/Matthews.

Both Kapanen and Nylander have wicked one-timers but for whatever reason Kapanen isn't allowed PP time while Ennis/Moore/Marleau/Brown/etc. see minutes.

 

[Jozay]

Team is playing like shit.

 

[Mr Hockey]

Wild is not an easy team to play against but we really sucked defensively, I liked Hutch and expect him to take the backup spot away from Sparks in the future

 

[saffronleaf]

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Egocock's Ego needs to be tamed.
