That was the worst goalie interference challenge I’ve ever seen in my life
You guys should try to hire that Devils' coach. He looks like he knows how to get the most out of his players. I think his name is Sheldon Keefe.
Toronto has all this soft beef!
Step one. Remove the C from Matthews until he proves that he deserves it. Your captain should run into a burning building for the team. Austin would stand out front of the building (with his pouty lips and designer clothes), taking pictures.
The window closing is the sweetest sound…..EVER.
I love that you thinking the goalie ripping the team is a good thing.
They got rid of a strength to get big at other positions instead of getting good at other positions. I’ve been saying it and I’ll keep saying it. Leafs are most at risk of missing the playoffs. Too many teams look to be getting better while leafs got worse
Matthews has no passion. Never should have been made Captain.
Isn't the title of this video the moral of this team since getting Matthews in 2016?
I'd love to know what's going on with the GMs in the league in general. I think we've seen from a number of teams, especially the Panthers, that a level of toughness is required. So when my Habs played both Xhekajs in the preseason, i thought, hey, we're going to be tougher. Arber sat and we got run over by Tom Wilson. Soft is weird for me to be seeing
Toronto is such a good fit for McDavid. Lol. Can we all agree Matthews is the most overrated player in the NHL? Toronto is Nylanders team and Matthews is lost out there.
Where is Matthews?
This is game 7 of 82. Last year some teams started hot, some started slow. I wouldn't necessarily preach patience as much as believe that Berube will correct these deficiencies, it just won't be quick.
Honestly steve just watch the Jays for the next week or so if you want to see a toronto team actually give a damn and earn thier paychecks
At least we got to see the Devils perform a mighty duck flying wing! That 4 on 1 was comedy, Leafs should trade for Charlie Conway!
Actually, if the Leafs wind up on a losing streak, now is the time to do it, with everyone in TO distracted by the World Series. They won’t be watching anyway, so nobody worth paying attention to is going to care: they shrug, say the Leafs suck, and move on. Normal life in TO, in other words.
Enjoy the Nylander Era. The entire team is playing with the same heart and effort as Nylander. No one cares.
Mathew’s has been silent all year, his buddy’s gone.🤣
The 4 on 1 was legitimately comical
Leafs don't have a serious captain to lead the team.
I've moved on from this season already, couldn't be bothered to watch Leafs hockey this year. Any reason they're not performing well is simply an excuse
Switch Aston With Travaris
Maybe the Leafs should trade Nylander and Matthews!
Welcome to Brad treliving hockey
Matthews has to be hurt again
Here is a tip for Leafs' fans : if you stop overrating your team, you have much less of a chance to be disappointed. Matthews AKA #CaptainUnderpants is not a winner like George Springer. Nylander is not a Guerrero. The Jays have winners. The Leafs do not. They do not step it up. Got it? 🙂 Just trying to help. lol
What is the definition of insanity?
How to fix, trade Nylander to anyone for anything. I have played with players like him. He is a one way player that only plays for her personal glory.
You and other Toronto Media ran Mitch Marner out of town and now the media is going to run Austin Matthew out of town…..enjoy the Nylander Era
Steve you hit it on the head. This team has no identity, besides a lack of leadership. The last two captains on this team would have trouble rising to the level of the captain of the Titanic.
yea, but at the end of the game, they still get ice cream.
@Steve: why in the world did you ever think this team would be as good or better without Marner? Forget his points, look at all his situational play and defense…look at all his minutes. I recall you wanted change and Marner out too and you're part of the media…so you're part of this. Everyone can say what they want but just suck it up and admit, they are far worse without Marner…period. Just admit us some of us Leaf Fans pushed Marner out. It's 7 games. I may be wrong and Leafs might right the ship. But if they don't make the playoffs, you may have forced the wrong guy out. Period.
You guys got Pez for literally this reason, play him! You need a guy whos gonna stick up for guys and play hard? Get him in the lineup!!
Habs fan here, hes not going to score 20 goals this year, but he can get the boys going. Stolarz will appreciate somebody sticking up for him.
The players are problem nr.1 but I seriously doubt Treliving and Berube is the answer..
Unless they really shake it up and force some trades this team is not compatible with Berube's vision. A Berube team can't win with talent and skill, he doesn’t have the pieces to implement his system and Treliving's signings keep failing.
As a Montreal Canadiens fan, the Austin Matthews situation feels alot like the Max Pacioretty trade. maybe its time to trade the captain.
The team is slow and soft while other teams have gotten faster and tougher. Cowan was scratched makes no sense. I would call up pezz at least he's not afraid to go in the corners or fight. This is Brad's T team which needs to make changes.
Man I hope they don't make that man captain of the us Olympic team past year so he has shown no heart or fourth gear He is straight up the reason we lost the four nations how are you going to leave one of the best players in the world in the slot open like that
Chief Keefe and the boys showed the Leafs who's boss. Love to see that.
IS training camp over? Why is Berube line blending….no one has any rhythm. 😮
Can I get that Fantasy stars game to train the entire Leafs team to Platinum so they might be Useful?
Oh wait still won't fix them being as soft as McD's ice cream…
why do you punish people with Leafs tickets if they donate to charity? Seems very mean.
I’m a Devils fan who watches all the LFRs, and was amped for this one. Worth saying, AM is just another victim of Nico, who has been straight-up disappearing people. Don’t feel bad, he literally just did it to McDavid in their last game.
Also, Steve has been using the word soft for the Devils the last few years in his previews, and they toughened up this roster (then started playing) in a way the Leafs desperately needed to.
I really enjoy not watching leaf games. Big fan, but they are slow, boring and do not play well. I'm getting tired of it to be honest with you.
This team is toast. Last year was their best chance to make a run. Hold on to your buts for the steep ride down folks.
Nico for selke
