Relax Sammy! Mitchy had three goals against the horrendous Flames. That's what he does. Pops off against bottom feeders.
Insane to believe if Deboer is the HC this leafs team makes the playoffs. They suck. The D is awful and the forwards are more like ahl players than NHL. Mathews nylandrr knives then what..leaf fans are legit idiots
OMG Kyper I completely agree with you totally want Canes out in the first round P M M F G O. boring a$$ team.
Hunter
I still think that getting rid of Shanahan's role was the dumbest move ever. They should have replaced him, not just fired him.
This show has lost its tension….emptied like a balloon.
I imagine that a lot of leaf fans dream of what it would be like if they ever even won a 3rd round… lol!
Bring Scotty Laughton back!
What the hell is wrong with you guys 5 minutes of bullshit music before your show starts
Guys, I don't think Berube was allowed to enforce his standard and play the deserving players and do the matchups he really wanted to do. All the lines shuffling around – After the firing then they settle on Easton and Johnny. It all just didn't add up. For sure Laughton's ice time was limited by management…I simply don't get it and I don't believe for a second that C Johnny losing the C was the coach's doing nor was the Laughton ice time given was his fault. But I'm all for Berube staying. This all wreaks of having a control freak for a gm instead of a hockey guy. Stripping the C off of Johnny was so pathetic. All the alumni that said it was a great move…No, it wasn't! It was humiliating and it set a bad standard. Matthews was fantastic with the A. A lot of great players were A's
Tavares is still a number 2 centre – What is everybody smokin? It's the team chemistry that's the problem – He is still better than most team's number 1's
Power streaming
We need a captain
I absolutely don't care anymore what this team does. Every time they get close there's always someone to fk it up. This time it was Treliving. Take a page from Boston who didn't make the playoffs last year and now are one of the better team in the league. Montreal have drafted well and are now looking like a power house. The Leafs however are the Leafs and always will be the team that can't get it done.
Marner has more assists than Owston has points … go VGK
Did you guys fire your stream editor? I don't understand this 5 minute intro of nothing.
If the new prez and gm is worried about saving bullets for job security they're not the right guy.
Sematics is the meaning of language not facts Justin, English language is not hard bud
Imagine being so corporate that you need a firm to look for GM's. This franchise is dead.
I actually find the leafs hours way more enjoyable now that they are going to miss the playoffs. Less complaining about same things over and over that have been discuss ad nauseam.
