This is a new level of embarrassment.

The players can run, but they can't hide.

Are they going to crumble and mail it in from here on out or are they going Rocky mode?

The organization should be gutted. How easy it was to completely shut them down was a joke. Zero coaching happened for the Leafs at all just dominated and couldn't change anything.

Zero heart shown by the players, Matthews being benched by our incompetent coach looks terrible on both of them.

You be glad that Barrie got up and is tradable. You look at the standings and wake the f*** up. This is a mental problem. Someone on this team needs to step up and drive that locker room.

This last 20 games are critical for the players. Will they ride them out, or show something? If not, big changes should be made to personnel.

Anything is possible with this team. I think the only way they get a different outlook is with a different back end. You need more Muzzins, less flash. It's just the reality.

Maybe the deadline will bring some new faces and new attitudes. They are still young, I don't lose sight of that, but bad habits can be really tough to break.

I'm hoping they turn it around, but it feels less and less likely.

Dubas has a shot to make some changes now. If he doesn't, he wears this.

They showed their cards tonight. They showed that they know exactly what it takes to win on Thursday, and gave all us losers cheering them on the bird tonight. They got their money, they don't give a sht about winning as a team right now. They are all about winning for themselves. #leafsarecharliesheen

Who cares after tonight's effort. I hope they will get in but I hope the Panthers do not make it easy for them.

Have we not seen them crumble enough to know this already?

They won’t respond, honestly they don’t know how to and apparently won’t listen to anyone who tries to help them get there.

This is who the team is.

I think there is an easy answer to this question.

Seriously there is. They will go .500 the rest of the way this season.

That is all they are, a .500 team.

Under Babcock I think they would have been better.

Under Dubas/Keefe, .500 is their ceiling, and their floor, the same .500.

Consistency. That is the word for pro sports. Being a good pro.

This team is not that.

I don't always agree with you, but Babcock or Keefe, the ups and downs are too far apart to consider them not just a .500 team.

They obviously crumble. This pathetic group couldnt find their way out of a paper bag. What a display tonight. Laughable.
