We signed Mete, because he's a damned good #9 defender. He's played well for us. Did you watch him play? It doesn't seem like it. How many teams have better #9 options?
Have you paid any attention to Malgin's play the last couple of years? Or the Preseason? You cry that we moved Marchment, who hadn't shown much at 24 with us, didn't show much at 25 with Florida, yet you are mad we are giving a 25 year old a chance, who has excelled overseas the last couple of years? Which is it now, you are for giving 25 years olds a chance, or not?
We don't have a goalie? Samsanov 0.932 SV % 2.01 GAA Did you fall asleep again when he's played?
Robertson isn't in the minors now... he's excelling. Were you aware of this?
Miky? Yes, that one assist and -2 and one hit for 4 x $4.75 million. You don't overpay depth like that, and if we had, you'd complain about that too.
Our record is 4-3. It was 2-4-1 last year, the year we had our best record ever. It would be 6-1 if Matthews was shooting his normal 16.2%, instead of 3% as he is this year.

Super long. Why would Keefe healthy scratch them? Why would Dubas trade them?

Is former Leaf goalie James Reimer playing tonight against our Leafs?.
He has a 2.55 GAA and .923 SV% with 1 Shutout.
Leafs better bring their A game and not think this will be an easy 2 points and not let SJ record fool them.

I of couurse knew it before the leafs even made the annoincement. They are so worried about the best goalie of us, samsonov, so they will rest him fully. Do not want him injured. We only have one great goalie now, number one, so we will not play him often And I knew it this week. Källgren will also play this weekend cause we are very worried and do not want certain injuries. If we get injuries, we will get them with källgren. We lower the risk of samsonov getting injured -50% of our week, for not playing him period.
Kaapo Kahkonen is startin for the san jose sharks. Their worse goalie.

Reimer would be a good target to bring on, if Murray ends up being toast for the season. We aren't playing against him tonight it seems.

Yesterday, as soon as keefe and our gm and management heard kakkonen was playing against us, they announced källgren doing it for us. We would have gone with källgren none the less, but it was easier to announce after the sharks told they are going with their garbage goalie.
I just watched an amazing sequence between Florida and Detroit and the players on Detroit just jumping in front of the puck fearlessly blocking it many times.
Can we honestly say our team would ever do that? We don't really have guys who would do whatever it takes and that's why we will never go all the way.

Crazy isn't it...
Leafs Blocked Shots on the year... 104
Wings 95
Sure, Wings have played one less game, but their Blocks/60 are nearly identical.
Find a new thing to complain about, this one came back invalid.

So you've made a claim, and have no idea what the actual stats are?
Both teams forwards have blocked in the thirties. Matthews is our team leader from Forwards, near the top are also Marner, Nylander and Tavares.....

Highly recommend a pre-game nap for those in the Eastern time zone. Really helps prevent dozing off mid-game!
What a garbage post. That took literally 1 second of googling to find, people love to blow shit out of proportion. Our team is also more defensively sound than Detroit, guys aren't squirming all over the place sliding and diving to stop shots, we actually possess the puck and control the game that way.

Matthews has always blocked a ton of shots for a forward, I actually wish he would tone it down in the regular season given the injury risk.
Keefe is completely spineless. Has no issue calling out Engvall by name but had to apologize for the rest.

People feel empowered to share their shitty hot takes and assume whatever they think is right because the team hasn't had an elite start of the season.
The hardest part of losing all these years isn't even the losses themselves it's dealing with the fans as a result. I just want to go on a run to shut people up at this point

Its quite interesting that Western teams like Dallas and SJ for example play their backup goalies against us.
Either they expect to lose these games regardless of goalie or they believe they can beat the Leafs even with their backup.
