Fred's dead, Baby... Fred's dead
I'm not done with this team: I'll never be done. However, I hold not much hope for a playoff berth. But I'll keep tuning in to watch Matthews (wow... we are so lucky to have that kid).
Keefe lost it because the reffing was atrocious all night long. There was so much interference going on all over the ice. The game managers did their best to make for an even game. Leafs had to overcome the worst goaltending in the league and the refs. Now you might say well it was not called because teams were trading chances. and that is exactly my point. The Leafs were getting hooked and grabbed all night long. We can't overcome that type of game. We require the refs to stop that. We need policing of game in a strict way. But bottom line we have started to see the change in the way games are called this past month.
...
1/2 guys does not make a TEAM ... but give him credit he tried his best in 2nd and 3rd periods ... great 200 foot game ... even rushed puck up ice by himself a couple times. So disappointed in Mitch. Why did he even bother to lace them up? Too many guys crapping da bed on tooo many nights. These guys are paid a ton. Watching willy get interfered with all night was a p*ss off too. Nice to see some fight from JT - we need to see it more.I'm not done with this team: I'll never be done. However, I hold not much hope for a playoff berth.

BRO you SENT this one, LMAO, I'm rollingRefs are working on some new jerseys that they hope to be ready for next year:
Tom Bishop and Zack Kassian are not "paid to be goal scorers".............yet they both score more than Marner.
Just another opposing goalie that happens to put in a Vezina performance when playing our Leafs.Rangers fan, I COME IN PEACE! What do you guys think of our kid Igor Shesterkin? Just curious.

wonder what Scott Foster is up to these days lol
Eh, it's tax season in the US...he's busy enough.Start Kaskisuo in game one and Kyle Dubas in the second.

He looks like he has it.Rangers fan, I COME IN PEACE! What do you guys think of our kid Igor Shesterkin? Just curious.
Sure they can; they can also win 10 Cups in a row.So they can't go on a 15-7-6 run which will be good enough to clinch a playoff spot? I still have lots of faith they will make it. That record is doable.

I want them to make it, but it just seems like a season filled with bad luck. I hope you're right and I'm wrong.
Good grief; go for walk and get some fresh air.You're comparing 10 cups in a row to a very doable run of 15-13. Surely this team has the talent to at least do that.
I'm not much for throwing players under the bus but I'll make an exception here with Kapanen,
I've been told several times that he's a guy that always shows up and always plays 100%. I read that about him all the time, and it's so far from the truth. He's not only the most streaky scorer on the team, he might just be the laziest too.
Go and look at their first goal. At first he is caught sleeping and forgets his guy. That's not the bad part. It's that he quickly identifies that his guy has stepped up behind him, and couldn't be bothered to take a single step towards him. Go back and look at him a few shifts later, where you can clearly see that his guy is going to a dangerous area, it is obvious that they're likely to win the puck, and he still decides to veer off to maybe get some space just in case the puck comes back up the ice.
Defensive mistakes comes in many forms, but most of them end up in two categories. Making the right read but failing to execute, or failing to make the read by puck watching or getting fooled. To varying degrees, those are understandable. Only an issue if it happens a lot. These kind of plays should definitely and immediately be held against the player though.
This would be OK if Kapanen gave us something else, but he's just not doing that right now.
The save he made on Hyman and Matty both were world class ... not many goalies can move like that. He looked a little nervous with some puck bobbles like Matty's 1st but that stuff will go away with time. Overall good to see you have your next goalie. We don't so I'm a little jealous.Rangers fan, I COME IN PEACE! What do you guys think of our kid Igor Shesterkin? Just curious.

We are not giving up AJ/Kerfoot for either ... AJ/Kerfoot will go for a defensive defender ... but you can see the cautious approach of Dubie ... he waited until Clifford was available before pulling off the Campbell dealWith the ask they are demanding for Georgiev, maybe Dubas should have targeted this kid instead...
View attachment 317403 I mean Campbell can turn it around but these ain't good numbers considering he's the new replacement
