Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose (again) 7-3 to Tampa Bay

[TMLeafer]

Pretty terrible performance all around. Little to no fight from this group tonight.

I know goaltending was a problem, but team defense as a whole is alarming. If the problem remains after all these player changes, you have to wonder..

Time to rebuild

In regards to Nylander: “He missed camp and preseason. Not his fault he’s horrible when he returns”

In regards to Matthews: “He was injured for 5 weeks. Not his fault he’s horrible when he returns”.

In regards to Marner: “He just signed a massive contract and it’s in his head. Not his fault he’s horrible when he returns.”

Well… Point just had ALL THREE of those excuses combined. He looked amazing tonight on his first game back.

I’m just SICK of the excuses leaf fans make for this team and its players.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Two biggest things holding us back through 5 games.

1. Babcock's adjustments
2. Marner contract.

Send in the clowns...

Oh wait, they were on the ice.

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels bad man

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Need a coach with some new ideas imo. The Lightning do all these switch ups and new things offensively that work well, you need some modern thinking to win the way the Lightning do.

I dunno who the answer is, that's up to the GM to find, I know though that the guy we have now is the wrong guy.

[Orfieus]

They deserved what they got

 

[Morgs]

Good:
Matthews
Nylander
3rd line
Sandin (when he actually was on the ice)
Holl

Bad:
Marner
Kapanen
4th line
Rielly
Ceci
Barrie
Fred

Everyone else was somewhere between.

[MattySnipes]

Feels bad man. That's all.

 

[ottomaddox]

That was awful.

Leafs kind of looked like an AHL team at times

Good point lol

 

[ULF_55]

Surprisingly, I'm not upset.

Perhaps some of them will look in the mirror and gag?

 

[IPS]

Imagine doing all that scrambling of your team and ruining the flow of the game so much to get a proper line-match against Tampa's top line only for them to score 5 goals on you anyway

 

[saffronleaf]

Magic Mitch with a Houdini-esque disappearance act.

Do what you want but that kind of envy and greed is a tragic character flaw and horrible for the locker room.

 

[Kurtz]

I think we're getting a shiny new Keefe for Xmas.

Or better yet for Thanksgiving.

 

[6ix]

5 games in, 3 game losing streak. Fire this egomaniac clown of a coach.

They will look in the mirror, smirk, and take a selfie to post in IG.

Maybe a good time for you to quit being a fan. It's not healthy for someone to spend so much time on a hobby that they obviously find no joy in. Read through your comments and some alarms should go off.

 

[glue]

You know how every year there’s usually one team with high expectations that just falls off...yup..we could be that team this year!! Yay!

 

[stakesishigh]

Reality check.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I don't see Babcock lasting much longer, and rightly so. The leafs need a new coach

 

[Peasy]

Gotta love seeing the same shitty stretch pass system year after year.

5 games in and I'm already done with Babcock.
