Leafs win this one easily, could be a blowout.
I hope our team doesn't have the same mindset! Who would have expected them to lose to the lowly Coyotes?

All I want for Xmas is for JVR/Bozak to be separated - it happened, and I mentioned, please please please let it last for 5 or 10 games and see how they adapt, but, it was not to be.
That's all I wish for. The rest of the lines - they can work or adapt.
Separating JVR/Bozak, more than ANY OTHER LINE COMBO CHANGES (jmho) could have real significant consequences for the team; don't know if they'd be positive or negative but am dying to find out.
But, not separating them could be due to simple business; if one or both of them is gone and not part of the long term plan, then, leaving them together (they do get points) probably doesn't hurt their trade value as much, and, so, in the end, it could be as much a business decision as it is a hockey one.
We verse them 4 times a season how much more do u want to verse them.
I agree. It's passed 20 games so I want to see the team start to click. Obviously we won't fire on all cylinders every night but the compete and speed have to be there more oftenLeafs always struggle in Florida and Carolina but after last night's efforts I expect them to come out a little more inspired.
The team needs to start stringing together a few games of that compete and speed that we saw last season.
I wasn't entirely surprised by yesterdays result.I hope our team doesn't have the same mindset! Who would have expected them to lose to the lowly Coyotes?
Never mind game to game, there are some that can't handle things shift to shift.There's a reason I don't visit GDT or even PGT when they lose...too many chicken littles and trolls trying to get a rise out of people.
It's a long season with lots of ups and downs, I'm too old to get too worked up about one game or even five games.
Never mind game to game, there are some that can't handle things shift to shift.
I've never understood the appeal of the GDT once the game starts, too each their own I guess.
Why? Because not everyone shares the same opinion as you?The PGT is a literal gong show, with people attacking others political views, name calling, irratinal ‘sky is falling’ mayham.
It seems as the quality of the team has gotten better, the quality of this board has gone down, which is a damn shame because this team is actually worth discussing.
But now it’s just a gong show. Take Matt Martin for example.
Martin has a good game: “ha! I laugh at those who said Martin shouldn’t be playing!” Martin has a bad game: “where all all the supporters now! Babcock is stupid for playing him”. This board is just a constant dick measuring contest.
It’s not everyone, there’s still some great posters, but they unfortunately get drowned out.
Heck, even me being like “what is going on” has led to the typical “lol then go away!” Response.
I could see using the conversations for that. I would think 50 posts in a row saying "that should have been a penalty" or"goal" must get pretty tedious.well it's nice to discuss the game as it is playing.
or it used to.
So let me guess
Hyman Matthews Nylander
Marleau Kadri Leo
JVR Bozak Marner
Martin Moore Brown
Because Babcock

It's ok to be critical of Babcock and his decisions
The board is fine, look past the hot takes and the "sky is falling" rhetoric (which I honestly don't see, it's just fans being frustrated over losing a very winnable game), and there's lots of objective discussion to be had.
My favourite posters are the ones who challenge my opinion and have actual discussions.
It’s not about that, and you know it
Yeah. Disappointment and frustration is understandable and natural. Expressing it in a way that wouldn't be acceptable for an eight year old isn't. I have no idea how some people aren't embarrassed by their posts. Some are eerily reminiscent of the temper tantrums thrown by my nephew before we taught him to handle disappointments in life. This place has made me wonder if we ever really learn that lesson, or if people just learn to adapt to social expectations, keep their impulses quiet.My favourite posters are the ones who challenge my opinion and have actual discussions.

You just copied and pasted that from an old post didn't you?So let me guess
Hyman Matthews Nylander

Hopefully not cause literally the day after they got Washington to deal with. Making predictions is too damned hard.Leafs aren't a team to play good after a bad game. If anything they will lose these 2 games.
I'd be very surprised if he changes the lines.I'm really curious to see if Babs will start the game with new line combinations this time around.
He's finally shown a willingness to mix it up as of late during games to ignite the offense. Now it's time to see if he's willing to stick with it.
