Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-2

[Lexicon]

I really cannot believe we are stuck with matthews and marner for 23m for another 5 years.

 

[Mats13]

Fire Babcock.

That's all.

 

[Whaleafs]

Pasternak highlight reel goal between the legs ? Of course.

10 minutes without a shot in the 3rd ? Of course.

Scored on by Lindholm ? Of course.

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels bad man

 

[Kamiccolo]

I just can't see Babcock last the entire season. This reminds me of when Randy Carlyle got fired. He spent weeks facing the media with no answers while the team kept imploding game after game. Well, same issues game after game here and Mike has said everything he can. He's yelled at them, he's tried playing nice.

They've tuned him out. It's time for the change

 

[SnizzMitch]

We’re not making the playoffs this year...

Tampa, Boston, Buffalo, Florida and Montreal are all better than us right now...

 

[Advanced stats]

I actually think the effort was there, although the legs are dead. This team is winded at the 10 game mark, and I blame the schedule mostly.


Hutchinson is awful. Terrible. Embarrassing

 

[Peasy]

Matthews and Marner are brutal together, please make it stop.

 

[GLG12xx12]

This season is a lost cause unless Babs is fired.... I have just about as much interest in this season as I did our tank year.

New assistant coaches, new players, improved defense and still we look just as bad as we did the last half of last year

 

[Ratboy]

Of course Lindholm gets his annual goal against us. Unreal lol

 

[TMLeafer]

Something's rotten. Just zero effort, lots of floating, no backbone. Lots of gutless plays and players bailing out at the remote thought of contact.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Honestly don't think any of Marner, Matthews, or Rielly deserve their "A"s tonight. What an embarrassing effort from that trio

 

[Pilky01]

Marner and Matthews playing exactly as you’d expect two guys who got their pay day.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

I really cannot believe we are stuck with matthews and marner for 23m for another 5 years.

And Tavares at 11 million. Fine for now. But imagine 4-5 years from now?

 

[Advanced stats]

We’re not making the playoffs this year...

Of course we are

 

[Stephen]

Marner is a disgrace. Looks like he thinks he’s Wayne Gretzky the way he makes no look passes to literally nobody. Awful little player.

 

[Trapper]

No urgency what so ever in the final period. Get the **** off of my TV screen with this BS.

And this is NOT on the coach. Players need to have some dignity.

Someone needs to be changed for a consistent drive train and aggression.

 

[ToneBone03]

5-4-2. That's sub-.500 hockey, folks.

Marner and Matthews were hot garbage tonight. Only line that showed up was the Kerfoot line. Hoping this doesn't develop into a trend and proves to be just an outlier.

 

[Al14]

This team needs to be shocked by an unexpected trade. Looks like Matthews and Marner have BOTH volunteered!

At least 1 player needs to be traded before Babcock is fired! JMHO.

 

[Gallagbi]

This season is a lost cause unless Babs is fired.... I have just about as much interest in this season as I did our tank year.

New assistant coaches, new players, improved defense and still we look just as bad as we did the last half of last year

Can't force your stars to care. Matthews, Marner and Rielly were just awful down the stretch.

 

[ashs]

Team so boring to watch, glad. Raps are back. Now that's a team that plays with heart.

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

I thought they would atleast be pretty strong in the regular season. Guess you can't globetrotte your way to success in hockey.

I said when they traded Naz this team would be butter soft. The softest team in the league IMO.

 

[Dave92]

Most gutless roster i've ever seen.

Kyle Dubas is a punchline in NHL boardrooms right about now. Imagine paying Marner/Matthews 11 million and not even being able to get 8 years out of them.

If you think this is because of Babcock it's not.

 

[LastOne2100]

I say it every thread. I'm ok with us losing as many games as it takes for Babcock to be fired.

Still time to salvage the season when he's out of the door.

 

[Leafs27]

Ahh, so is the strategy to suck until January, and then pull a St. Louis?
