We have a potential franchise goalie and gonna ruin him cause of this garbage team. Top line is horrible if they aren’t scoring I can’t even think of a single thing positive they bring other than that.
Coaching is the worst it’s ever been. Brodie needs to head to Robidas island as well. Not much to look forward this year to. Our division is a nightmare this year. Detroit really wants to steal our spot. Than you have Florida, Boston, Tampa and perhaps Buffalo to worry about. Yea if we aren’t winning 3-4 in a row before a loss say goodbye to playoffs we can’t afford to lose two in a row
I’d trade marner for aciari and a solid d
A literal skill issue
Woll’s play has been concerning right? Am I crazy? We were anointing him a few weeks ago but he doesn’t look great now.
Soft leafs, we really need to trade willy while his value is at an all time high, look how soft the team is man
This team is mid af, we’ll be lucky to make the playoffs this year
Would Woodcroft be an upgrade over Keefe? Maybe Woodcroft can bring McDavid with him lol. Don’t think the Leafs need scoring they need defense though.
It’s 1 goal boys. No big deal
Tavares 2nd in the league at face offs with 62% but yeah stick Kampf out there because he’s a “specialist” at less than 50%. Terrible coaching
Isn’t it kind of ridiculous that Ed Belfour was the last goalie we had that was consistently capable of stealing games?
Some of you all need therapy. Jesus Christ.
Fuck Cory Perry
It seems like this past offseason Brad didn’t do his damn homework when he brought in some of these players. Reaves and Klingberg together could’ve netted us a quality D man. But instead he looked at what they used to be. Which is exactly how he ran the Flames.
Marner has been a useless whiny bitch the last few weeks, and Matthews has 0 goals at 5v5 in 13 of 18 games. This team is cooked
having to watch the sn panel after that is salt in the wound
Hello Matthews, are you there?
We might legit finish last in our division this year. This team isnt contending for shit with this clown show of a roster. Our ceiling this year is another 1st round exit.
This team is still incapable playing 60 minutes. Fuck they aren’t even playing 45 minutes this year. They play like 1/3 solid hockey and it has to change if they’re going to have any success. 3rd period comebacks are getting really old and it’s asinine to rely on that as a game plan.
I swear every game at one point in time, I say to myself “I f***ing hate this team”
Wallahi we’re cursed
The good thing is that if we fail this season we can finally fucking fire Keefe into the fucking sun and he can go to some other team.
get ready everyone, the moral high ground peeps have come out of the woodwork lol
This is what we deserve for not rolling the blue buckets with the white sweaters.
Two-high forecheck and shots from the point… never addressed under Keefe
Fire Keefe
Split up the lines.
Knies – Matthews – Jarnkrok
Bertuzzi – Tavares – Steeves
Robertson – Domi – Marner
Gregor – Kampf – Nylander
Watching the panthers get shutout in person ln and the bruins give up 7 today make this less painful, but still painful lol.
Anyone who isn’t concerned about how awfully this team is playing must love moral victories.
Shocked at Marner this season I know he’s been getting points but man something looks really off. Heck even Matthews despite the scoring yeah don’t know what is going on. Nylander has been the show so far this year. Suppose Tavares has been solid as well at least.
Best thing I can do is put on my MATTHEWS jersey you wouldn’t believe how many times he buzzed when I have it on
Two plus goal’s coming right up
These boys is trash
The fact we were hemmed in our zone for the entire last 3 minutes is unacceptable.
All stared with Brodie boneheaded attempt to clear without looking.
Ron Maclean is so sleazy and untrustworthy … I wouldn’t want to be near him by 10 km
I believe Tre signed Klingberg with full knowledge of health at a high pricetag because of it didn’t work out, it would ALWAYS be possible to take him out of the lineup. It’s a gamble on if we can rehab him and gain a great player. It hasn’t worked out, so deactivate him and look for replacement. Klinger gets paid and a tryout.
Win-win
this is what happens when our offense isn’t going and we can’t outscore the other team to win the game like the boys only know how to do. they dont give a fuck about playing a two-way game, and if we dont outscore we just look helpless.
Hrudey needs to cool it with the red wine and the triglycerides.
