Post-Game Talk: Leafs kind of try, and lose 5-4

[definedMF]

Tavares has been crap this season lets stop drinking the Leafs captain kool-aid.

He needs to be better but that can be said for just about everyone.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Is Reilly dogging it because he didn’t get the captaincy? He’s been dog food all season.

 

[robertmac43]

So do what? Sit tight and pray instead of trying something?

No that's not the answer either. I think the answer could be in house, I also think a trade for better D would be better.

 

[Gabriel426]

Andreas Johnsson was absolutely pathetic.
He's been figure skating for some time and needs to get his head out of his ass.
The guy isn't on that line to be a pretty boy, but to be a dirty little puke retrieving the puck. Stop that stupid no-look drop pass crap.

Become a poor-man's (although better paid) Zach Hyman.
That is all.

To me AJ is a dime of a dozen player, a winger who can score and chip in here and there. Would be nice to trade him for a vet who just knows how hardwork is the only way to get the job done.

-18.25 cf% rel. Good at times but not shining.

Shining more than others though.

 

[Teeder Keon]

huh ?

I don’t care in the slightest about their money and how they lose it or make it

 

[Gabriel426]

They gave up 5

There’s lots wrong this team.

One is an empty net, lol.

 

[robertmac43]

Maybe.

Maybe Lafrenier is hoping Dubas stays for another 4 yrs.

There are a lot of maybes in this world :p

 

[Gabriel426]

No!

How about Babs for Torts?

 

[horner]

Hit the ****ing net Nylander

**** you Dubass

Yes yes yes.

Trying to pick a corner with seconds left with men in front hot the f***ing net.

 

[Lightsol]

They had great regular season success though. This team is just "meh"

They didn't at the start. If you remember, we beat the Red Wings in the first round in '93, and they lost to the expansion Sharks in '94. They didn't give up and blow everything up.
And the Nords ended up having to make some big sacrifices (including giving us Sundin) before they managed to break through.

Obviously hurt but I'm wondering if this season goes even further into the toilet perhaps we could move him for some major assets. No idea how we'll be able to sign him when he gets to UFA

 

[Polaris1010]

If Shanahan stopped Dubas from changing the coach, he should get some criticism as well.

Dubas is the problem.

The roster is a step down from last season.

They can fire the coach, but that will not fix anything.

Last season 3 lines that can score, this season only 2 lines that can score.

Last season mobile defense contributing to offense, this season hope and pray Andersen makes the save, lol.

 

[Marmoset]

To be fair, everyone in the media thinks he's playing hurt. Apparently he hasn't been attending any practices. If it's true, they might want to consider sitting him down for a few games so that he can heal up and get back to 100%.

That said, if he's going to play, like the whole team he needs to be better.

Anyway, enough of this - the Raptors are on. The Leafs need to be forced to watch the Raps and how well they're playing with half of their roster injured.

 

[PromisedLand]

apparently posting tweets from random folks is a thing nowadays so here it goes

There could be a plan here. Leafs losing on purpose to rid themselves or Babcock. Happens all the time around the league for years.

 

[Superstar]

Well, even if the team loses the next 10 in a row... does Shanny have the balls to make the move?

I don't think he would have a choice except to let Dubas get his own coach...I mean, how ugly does 9-17-4 look? This team ain't the St. Louis Blues.

 

[Notsince67]

Shining more than others though.

Definitely wasnt the worse I saw. This defense is unfixable. Was definitely better last year. Really hard to believe

 

[Lightsol]

I only thought they should get rid of Hainsey because Babcock overplays the shit out of him. But they really need that kind of defenseman to play next to Reilly. They don't have one that plays right, so Reilly's struggling.

 

[Nineteen67]

Leafs ruined my whole night. I had plans. I was going to take a nice hot bath and a nice hot dump. Light some candles for both. Then when the Leafs won, I was going to go to the Islanders board and start a chant, something along the lines of HE DON'T NEED YOU, HE DON'T NEED YOU. But, all that got ruined because we are not as good as we think we are.

it’s only taken 83 games for people to realise this nothing more than a 500 team.

 

[Rare Jewel]

They just hired two new people to deal with that.

 

[stickty111]

babs post game "we think we can be better" god, im tired of hearing that.

We THINK?
Yeah he doesn't have an idea.

 

[hotpaws]

Not sure if agree with your math there wingman. By my calculations they tried for the whole second period and the last 5 minutes of the third, so that’s 25 minutes by my count.

they only looked like they tried in the 2nd and the last 5 mins of the game because that's when the Islanders took there foot off the gas during those periods and sat back

 

[Gallagbi]

What do you mean they didn't at the start? The wings were a 100+ point team with home ice in a pre shootout era. The Nords were on pace for a 112 points in their last season which was lockout shortened

Yeah he doesn't have an idea.

"I think, therefore I am..."
