lol
keefe got out coached in back to back years with the same game plan by tortz and montreal. I can understanding critisizing Babcock but dont think its wise using Keefe since he's been worse so far.

I would say out coached in one and stopped by the best active goalie that was fully rested and healthy in the other

disagree. When ur up 3-1. You close it out. His top line got shut down. Had to move Marner down and bench Thornton who was clearly useless.

I agree with that too but the point still stands. Price was the significant difference imo.
I don't think the two are exclusive and I was screaming for him to break up the Matthews Marner line to get them away from the match up, but they had good chances and were stonewalled by price.

I just looked it up and since 2000 Montreal had comeback from 3-1 deficits 3 times; leafs most recent, Washington in 2010 and the Bruins in 2004.
If this trend holds we could be hoisting the cup soon

This bench lacks experience still

Keefe has made some extremely questionable decisions over our last 2 playoff appearances and needs somebody to help him keep calm when the pressure goes on


This doesn't solve that problem

Rookie hiring rookies. It's what MLSE does now.

Leafs hire experience
HF: he's a dinosaur that's out of touch

Leafs hire young
HF: he doesn't have experience

I think it was you that made the first argument if I remember correctly.

What does the combo of Carbery/Malhotra look after?

So why will he make the team better?

That is just a question, not a slight or endorsement.

What does he bring that the team is lacking?

I'm stuck in the 1 goal in 7 games loop.

Playoffs PP was absolute trash, but was it the system or players?

One of the most talented teams since Sundin, Mogilny, Tucker, Roberts, but they're lacking Tucker and Roberts.

Hopefully Ritchie and Bunting will be our poor man's version of Roberts and Tucker.
