Pre-Game Talk: KIngs @ Leafs - Tuesday Nov 5, 2019

[OVO16]

I personally love all these star players calling out the Leafs playstyle.

Or in this case, former star player

Meh. Still would have him on the leafs no question asked

 

[BrannigansLaw]

What about all this talk "this is our time!"?

Such a cringeworthy motto too when it comes to this group. Couldn’t be further from the truth based on their play.

 

[Blufreezy]

What Scott said. Wish I didn't have to pay a subscription to the Athletic to get actual journalism.

Anything other than a regulation win will be demoralizing.



Jesus **** everyone is getting their two cents in. Though this is mostly on our media and running to star players asking them about our team.

Exactly. I'd rather hear Doughty say something like "I don't give a rats ass about the Leafs", than to hear him actually start dissecting our team to a hoard of microphones.

We get it, the team is pillow soft, next question Feschuk

 

[supermann_98]

I just got excited for a game tonight, then I realised it was Monday the 4th, not Tuesday...

I remember the days I used to get excited for a game ... 2 weeks ago or so. I want that feeling back so bad.

Doughty probably is the Leafs best defenseman if he was in the lineup.

We should listen to people who know something, and not people like Dubas who knows nothing.

 

[Stephen]

Can't wait till Sportsnet starts asking athletes from other sports what the Leafs need to do to turn the corner. And then Spelling Bee champions, employees of the month at various fast food restaurants in and around Scotiabank Arena, Academy Award nominees, the mayor, etc.

Only what they think of the Leafs will be interesting.

Lets face the facts. NHL players are fans too. Their favourite team is the Leafs!

 

[The CyNick]

I endorse this. I hope every champion who comes through let's our current management know what it takes to win. We know our coach knows, but the guys in the boxes, clearly have no idea.

He only knows how to win when he has Lidstrom on D. Otherwise he has not won jack.

 

[Nineteen67]

Odds are they’ll win this one. They never get too far under 500 or too far above.
Will they win or will LA just lose it?

 

[6ix]

Quick has been terrible for a few years, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the leafs make him look likes he’s in his prime again.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

We should start Hutch

 

[Blanche Blanche]

True. I figured they would of beat Philly pretty easily... but they found a way to get a W, and no I don't think they played very well.

Just hoping they start figuring it out soon.

For me they've removed the serious contender label until further notice. We need to see large stretches of good hockey from this team before I have any confidence in them being anymore then an easy out in the 1st round for other teams.

This.

This team is a serious conpretender until they show they belong in the top 6-8 teams in the league.

Middling....bubble team. That is who we are. Until we're not.

Just watched Pens and Bruins. Every player, even the debutant rookies, know the role they play. S solid system bought in by everyone, noone is out of place, as much as the Leafs are.

They always separate man from puck, None of this stick pokecheck BS, and support and recover pucks for safe passes -If a puck is thrown into corner, the guys are already on it, expecting that play.

Whereas we chip it in, because we are all skating up at full speed with no Plan B.

End of November Babs... Prove us wrong

 

[Coachcorner]

So uh, y'all thank think tavares is a guarantee like I doos? He will play like 99% sure in this mayne?

 

[PromisedLand]

I see negativity is sky high in the threads recently so allow me to add another bit. Can we please change the freakin' goal song; it SUCKS ASS.

Would like to have a goal song that pumps us up instead of a goal song that makes you wanna throw up

Also, Connor Brown has 11 points in 12 games ---->>>> Can Nylander show up ffs?

The negativity stems from that last year this was a team that had a chance for the cup. This year this team is what it is so far. What stands out for me is the blown leads in the 3rd period.

As for Nylander . . . the classic coach killer type of player.

Edmonton's Zach Kassian has 4 goals so far this season . . . lol . . .

 

[Hustlr]

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I hope we torch Quick. Still remember when he and the Kings barely beat us when we were on the second half of a back to back and he goes and cheers right in the face of whichever Leaf was nearest at the time when the final buzzer went. Screw that asshole.

Who's asking the questions. Between OV and Doughty I havent watched the clips just read the quotes.

 

[The CyNick]

Lindstrom played for Canada at multiple international tournaments? Interesting factoid.

This was evident to anyone that watches other teams in the playoffs. This poke check - pure finesse team BS isn't around as you go deeper, if you're not taking the body, you're on the golf course because you won't be playing very long.
