What playoff push? It's just an illusion. Called them out since December. Team has no scoring depth beyond 3 players. Also who teaches them to be so lousy on 5 on 3 pp's?
I still can't understand why Dubas even entertained Matthews' agent using McDavid as a comparable during contract negotiations to reach the big money and short-term that they agreed to. Matthews is a star player that has 40+ goal potential every season, but I've seen nothing that suggests he's a perennial contender for the Hart/Lindsay Trophy.
In which series?
What’s with Drai playing more minutes than McDavid the last 4 games?
Solid game by the Leafs, If their D stay healthy, I think they’ll do some damage in the playoffs.
Lucic performed well in his role tonight
Injured hip.Dumb question but was he a healthy scratch and when was that decided?
Missed 90% of the game
This one had “predictable loss” written all over it
they rarely win on Saturdays and never beat the Leaves
Oh well, win the next 2 at home for a successful home stand
That’s only one point in dog hockey.Still only 7 pts back.
Boston is going to stuff their heads up their asses. Big time.
Much easier to hire him then to find and hire the best candidate. Oilers will spend more time and effort creating the narrative that he’s the right choice than they will looking for somebody else.Keith's GM rating almost fell last night, but I think that 2 goal burst at the end saved it. He remains in the "good enough to do the job" category.
In the one vs the Bruins you are about to lose.
Enjoy your 2 home playoff games.Better to be there...
I don't think this is really an issue. Teams aren't going to be banging on the door of Stolarz to give him the back up job. I'll be perfectly honest and say I don't think we should be either. We need someone more proven to run with Koskinen. We can't go into next year with a goalie tandem that has combined for ~80 games played in the NHL.Get his games in to keep his rights
Enjoy your 2 home playoff games.
I think the perception comes from them not making the finals in over 50 years.Don’t get why people have this perception that the Leafs are some playoff choker, in 2017 they went up against the Presidents Trophy Capitals with 8 rookies on our roster and went 6 close games all decided by one goal.
In 2018 they went 7 with a Bruins team everyone considered and still considers a legit contender. The reality is the Leafs faced and lost to 2 very good contenders for the last 2 seasons.
This talk of the Leafs having no chance against Boston is ridiculous, this is a team that essentially upgraded Bozak to Tavares.
Leafs-Bruins will be a coin toss, both teams are capable of winning the series.
