Post-Game Talk: Leafs are not in the ariZONEa

[BallardEra]

it'll be okay once the Leafs decide to dig in and really try

Waiting for the Caps to do likewise.

 

[Sittler 27]

Awesome

 

[FelixPotvin29]

I hate to say it but Babcock is right.

They have to work harder.

 

[Stamkos4life]

Wow this is unreal

 

[PromisedLand]

Absolutely NO EXCUSE for getting outworked by your opponent. Skill without will is useless.

take all that skill and corsi and what not and shove it

 

[Mats13]

Zero confidence in Freddy.

without Freddy we might actually be out of the playoffs

 

[HomerJLeafs]

How can you blame one individual player when the whole system sucks?
It wasnt Nylanders or Matthews or whoevers fault. Blame the system!!!

 

[Superstar]

$10 million dollar winger gives the puck away for the game winner, and $13 million dollar centre gives it away for the empty net goal...

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

NOT
GOOD
ENOUGH!​

 

[MoreMogilny]

Pathetic effort again.

Babcock will look at his board after the game and agonize on trying to find a lower line to demote Nylander to, and look for worse wingers to put with Matthews

 

[Carltons Cup]

Can't wait to hear bigcocks bs rhetoric in the presser.....

 

[Savvy]

It would be really nice to have a captain in the room at this point to say some things that need to be said because it’s quite clear the players collectively don’t give a damn about Babcock anymore

 

[Lynk]

There's no way Matthews is just in a slump.
Compared to his early season form before injury to now, completely different person.

I barely notice him on the ice anymore and the only times I do is usually for something negative.

Just take a break.

 

[Stephen]

That was quite pathetic. The skill level didn’t seem to be there and the work ethic is pretty weak compared to a team like Arizona. All of our Big Three kids are so soft and unable to play a heavy game.

 

[socko]

Bring in Yzerman, let him pick the coach. You got the money Toronto. Do it.

 

[stickty111]

I am looking forward to fans defending Babcock for putting Hainsey on the ice with 2 minutes left.

 

[Alerion]

Team sucks right now.

Babcock sucks right now.

There's no easy fix and we're kinda committed to this roster now.

Not a fun time to be a Leafs fan.

 

[Apotheosis]

Downright pathetic, again.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

This team f***ing sucks. I don't know what's wrong with it but the desire and effort level is just not there. Matthews in particular with that last play looked like he just didn't give two shits.

 

[ThewThew]

This sucks

 

[Leafs at Knight]

The very least one or two assistant coaches need to be gone

 

[Erdinger]

Which team did we play that smoked us 9-2 or something just before Carlyle got fired? We need something disgraceful like that.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Ugly team

Matthews looks uninterested in hockey.

Only a handful of players look engaged.

Time to name a captain and make guys accountable. We are a mess.

We talk crap on Hyman, but atleast he works..... Nylander , Matthews , Marleau, Kadri just force plays all over the ice.


Better now than after the deadline. Hope our GM has nuts.

Name Rielly or Tavares captain and actually build a damn team that doesn't get outshot by bottom feeders

 

[Cecithepylon]

This is honestly bad. Like we will get actually eatin by Boston

 

[Gallagbi]

This seems like a young team not understanding what is actually on the line.

Won't fire Babs (nor should they right now), so a trade would be the next thing. Not many options to move though.

Were not losing because of our secondary pieces right now, this teams core isn't getting it done. JT is the only bright spot there right now.

Rielly and Marner both made horrific plays leading to goals and Freddy looks average. Matthews on the perimeter most of the night and Willy still off. Kadri was meh, as per usual lately.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

A lot of fans will overreact and act like the sky is falling.

A lot of fans will underreact and act like nothing is wrong in the slightest.

Welcome to leaf nation. There's literally nothing in between. And both sides are certain... certain... that they're the ones in the right.
