Yeah I don't think they will win.... .last time the Preds beat em so bad. Their defense is so much better
I think at this point, they're told not toWould be nice if the Leafs forwards actually came back and helped out the D.
you seriously believe what you posted is true?? you are saying babcock tells them to stand around, and not help the D really???? you cant be serious..... its on the players to have the will to do something and they do not do anything, they float.... and play lazy.I think at this point, they're told not to

not sure if it's Babcock or Smith, but yeah. That's where they want forwards for their transition style. If you think he's telling them otherwise and they refuse to listen to him, that's even worse thoughyou seriously believe what you posted is true?? you are saying babcock tells them to stand around, and not help the D really???? you cant be serious.....
No, Babcock tells them to stay high and be available for a stretch pass or chip play.
yea this is not good lol, im not sure how we are going to do anything in the playoffs at this rate. im honestly sad and disturbed this team coming into this year I thought we would be much better than this... oh well.... its life i guess.not sure if it's Babcock or Smith, but yeah. That's where they want forwards for their transition style. If you think he's telling them otherwise and they refuse to listen to him, that's even worse though
as bad as the last 4 games have been, at least Matthews looks like his usual dominant self again. he's had 70% of scoring chances while on the ice, which is pretty outstanding. I wonder if it has anything to do with Nylander
Same with Calgary the first time we played them; they looked like a Junior A team against the flames.
We embarrassed them last game though.
In Nashville this week and have tickets to the game tomorrow, bought them before the Leafs forgot how to win hockey games.
I hope I haven't just purchased an expensive front row seat to my boys getting blown out
Now picture Babcock as Groucho Marx saying that.
@ Nashville and then @ Buffalo the next night? Who came up with this schedule? They have to battle through it, but ****

Lets hope this practice today which "focussed on a renewed commitment to defense and communication" resets this team.
Should always work hard.I usually agree with you but not on this one.
The team never had any kind of structure or system. They were winning games because they have so much talent, but now they have just fallen apart. Sometimes we are still able to score a lot of goals, but thats it. Other teams have figured out the areas we are struggling with and took advantage.
The team is now completely lost in regards to what we should play, what is our system, how do we break out, what should our D zone coverage look like.
This is entirely on the coaching staff. They simply couldn't implement a good team structure, not after years.
You can work hard, but for what? The fastest car in the world is useless if it's unable to stay on the track. This is what we look like now.
