Colorado has kept their top line together, and they basically won the game. Given that example, breaking up your top line in an attempt to win is a big NO in my books.

Everyone knew that the 3rd year was going to be a problem. I was shocked he went for 3 years and not 2. Not sure what the leafs were doing but it messes everything up. 2 years would have been perfect. Resign extra year if need be at 2-3 M and give him extra 1M per year first 2 years would have been the right strategy. Their cap hit is Irrelevant these past 2 years as they are way below but now they have no where to go. Gardiner will be gone and so will kadri

Egocock needs to play Hyman more. People here legit think he is important part of the team, we were way better while he was injured.

Not everyone knew it. Had quite a few discussions with folks who felt the Leafs could “easily” make sure the deal wasn’t a problem.

Coaching should continue to play him 16 mins a game and it doesn't matter how bad he plays he gets a free pass because he is 39 years old? Bull
Well really 4 not 6, 2 of those 6 were empty netters, but I get your point.pathetic effort --->>> AGAIN
no excuse for team to get outworked like that
MacKinnon didn't register even one point and Leafs surrendered 6 goals against
and soderberg with his first career hattrick
My dawg Tavvy played his worst game as a leaf tonight mayne. He was like -4 or something like that and din't do mucho deniro tonight in this thang. Even the awful mackinnon was better than him tonight sires. But we was aaight, we had chances in the dirty first. Nylander,The man had like two chances in the dirty first and almost nothing after that. He was like git the dirt outta here mayne. He ain't like earning his moneys right now world. We not like having all that type of deniro all of us. Give me the money and I'll double quadrupble that dirt nylander. He's like a spoiled golden spoon brat right now. Play better and be better. Or else.
Our fool team will be better again next game, we that great. We have the money, the power and the personality. Now let's hit some, or trade some. We have to be better come playoff time and explode on them faces.
We can always count on you for perspective, sire.
All I find myself really wanting this morning is to have a 4th line with Moore instead of Lindholm or Brown. Gives Babcock some talent to figure out how to break 7/9ths of their top 9 out of their slumps.

Where is the accountability for the 3rd and 4th lines? If those players aren’t putting in the effort, move Moore, Grundstrom, or Marchment up. They sure as heck are better options than Lindholm, Marleau, or Brown at this point. There is no fear of repercussions on this team from the coaching staff. I’m getting tired of hearing that some guys aren’t putting in the effort night in and night out.
We’re resting on the laurels of exceptional seasons from Marner Tavares Reilly and Andersen. Most of the rest have been an inconsistent bunch. Do something Babcock. Don’t just say the team has to work harder.

My fear is the Dave Nonis syndrome.
We beat Tampa 4-1 and everyone thinks everything is great.
Then come playoff time, the issues we’ve talked about still exist.

They have three skilled forwards and very few workhorse around them. And when the skill is tired or in a little funk, which happens to every team every year, they don’t have much to fall back on.
Guys, come on, we saving ourselves for the playoffs.... Wild card styles to avoid the bruins
We won't make the playoffs the way we are playing.

Last night people were saying he was crying.....I accused him of being a snowflake. I take it back he stood there like a man...seemed pissed off

Yeah. Marleau should be scratched.
His stats reflect that.
Put moore on for some life. Another Marlie even.
There is a reason why MTL and Buffalo have caught right up...
They have youth livening things up, and we have Babcock giving Marleau royal treatment.
Unnaceptable on a team with a playoff berth
Maybe heading to Florida is exactly what the Leafs need right now. Facing Tampa I would hope we bring our best effort of the season. Winning or losing doesn't mean as much to me in the next two games as effort does. Tampa is the best team in the league. They bring the effort we should nearly every night. Florida is ready to lie down, we can win there on effort alone with our talent. The Tampa game to me just might be a barometer to the rest of the season.

This team is starting to remind me of the 2008 Senators, the Sens had an excellent start in Oct and Nov by scoring lots of goals, and came December, the poor defensive plays caught up and they stayed .500 for the rest of the season from that point on, and didn't win a single game in the playoffs.
There is one big difference between the Leafs and that Sens team though, the Sens went to the finals the previous year.

Trade for a couple of physical defenceman ex. Gudas
Trade for a a physical forward ex. Ferland
In the defensive zone the opposition skates around with no fear of being hit .
In the offensive zone the opposition defencemen have no fear that they are going to get hit.
We don't wear anyone down physically.
We aren't going anywhere in the playoffs till we fix this I believe.

Last Night I Died - A poem by heybuddyhowyadoing
Last night I died
Last night I cried
Last night the Leafs were exposed in the worst way
And then I died
Last night I cried
Because the Leafs died
The possession stats were sublime
But Toronto was left sucking on a lime
Last night I died
Last night a point was awarded to The Bruins
And then I died
I thought I already cried
Because the season seems to have taken a turn
The Leafs might burn
The Trade Line is coming
They better trade for something something

The actual $$$ paid and the AAV cap hit are two different things.
The reason they don’t remove the AAV cap hit is to prevent teams from signing guys to long term knowing they are going to retire.
For eg., if Shea Weber retired today, the Preds because the signed his contract and not the Habs, would be on the hook for his cap hit.
It’s crazy, but it is the NHL

You want to sell at the deadline but then turn around and want to acquire rentals and pending UFAs.
And then the cherry on top you suggest acquiring Gryba as some sort of physical and defensive fix.
