[Hockey Crazy]

Were playing "playoff style hockey" tonight. Hope they can get it to OT

 

[Crysis]

Why couldn't dubas trade the 1st and two prospects for Josi?

Wonder what Hunter would have done at the deadline.
Looking like a brutal trade right now.

 

[lottster14]

Players want babs gone, apparently? This is ridiculous in every way

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Remember that playoff game where they held us to 6 shots?

That was exciting

Yes but I also remember the one where Steve Thomas single handedly tied it up when we 2 or 3 down late in the 3rd. There's hope!

 

[DarkKnight]

Structurally that was our best period for a while.

 

[Nineteen67]

Yawn...

I watched a few mins of that 2nd and I’m glad I didn’t drive over to Nashville for this game.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I guess all of our bodies changed differently as we aged.

Or some of us are more honest with ourselves

 

[PromisedLand]

Offence dies when Marleau touchs the puck.

instead of touching it; if marleau "walked by it" it will make the offense a lot better

 

[56 Years No Cup]

"The Leafs held Nashville to two shots that period".

Uh, no, Nashville held Nashville to two shots that period. They couldn't care less if they score again as long as Toronto doesn't.

They be trappin'. Boring.

"As we continue to get better" - Babcock, some point in the post game presser.

To be fair, we all loved the deal at the time.

 

[56 Years No Cup]

Feels exactly like a late 90s, early 2000s Devils game. These guys are more than happy to sit back and trap the rest of the game with this one goal lead.

Exactly.

The muzzin trade?

Most people have no issue with it...far from brutal that's for sure.

 

[LaPlante94]

Imagine waiting until after we have a playoff spot locked up and about to go into the playoffs and our core players sign extensions and then decide to play like crap to try and get the coach fired.

 

[Leafs27]

Wow, a non-trivial interview. I applaud PK.

 

[cookie]

Can you please elaborate on a better way to complete plays than scoring?

enter the zone with possession, try a deke, lose puck, sometimes retrieve puck at the corner boards, attempt pass that gets picked off, be the last man back. Little skating, few passes connecting, Marner's been driving that line.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Though I wouldn't not try, I would want him gone too. He's forcing a system that is antithetical to the makeup of the roster and practices reverse accountability when it comes to line-up decisions and ice-time.

 

[theTTC]

Looks like he's plodding out there.

Maybe it is the length of the season weighing on him.

It's carrying the weight of the under performing multi-millionaires.

 

[PromisedLand]

Why couldn't he have traded it for McDavid?

he still can

Matthews+Nylander+2nd for McDavid

 

[Gallagbi]

"The Leafs held Nashville to two shots that period".

Uh, no, Nashville held Nashville to two shots that period. They couldn't care less if they score again as long as Toronto doesn't.

They're trapping, but they're not turning down chances. When they gain possession they want to keep it. It was a fine period for Toronto

 

[56 Years No Cup]

Remember that playoff game where they held us to 6 shots?

That was exciting

The NHL should make sure that type of hockey doesn't come back. Starting tonight.

 

[PromisedLand]

"As we continue to get better" - Babcock, some point in the post game presser.

with the D we are playing
not giving up goals like we have been giving

and then holding nashville to just a handful shots in the 2nd

I think that is progress

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Wonder what Hunter would have done at the deadline.

it looks brutal if you focus on his turnover. Muzzin's overall body of work has been solid, especially with all the left defensemen who are out

I mean Marleau hasn't done a f***ing thing in how long and he's still getting regular shifts and even PP time.

When your standards for giving ice-time don't involve actual on ice play, there's a serious f***ing problem.
