Watch the goals...Freddy seems to have the same issue with his blocker side that reimer had with his glove side. Though, Laine's got a rocket.

I don't like Marinicin at all.

- mykokes

For a big goalie he looks small in net, so much room over both shoulders. He comes out to far.

I think it was the big bodies taking away the walls and us doing a terrible job on the breakout for most of the night more than "speed".

the turnovers were atrocious

lol.

It was a good game to watch. I'm sure both coaches were pulling their hair out. Not exactly the kind of hockey that will win a Cup this year. Both defenses were awful...although I could watch Morgan Rielly skate all day long.

I would put Marincin on waivers, sit Gardiner for a game or two, either play both Corrado and Polak or bring up Loov or Valiev.
- LeafMan

Too early for that?

Althought, Im all for getting rid of Marincin.

- twiztedmike


They looked young and scared in their own end. Lots of "no you get it!" missed touches and low percentage stretch passes instead of quick outlets to the center to skate it out.

Peg got some big boys though. Just looked massive out there. Should be a fun team to watch; would definitely be my choice to cheer for in the playoffs if they were in and we were not.

Good game.

The Leafs just couldn't handle the young Jets speed.

- stormey

Its our D....its so bad.

For Gardiner it's accountability, he has and I will say this for the hundredth time, zero hockey IQ when it comes to defensive decisions, the bad pinching has got to stop. It's not just once a game, it is several times that lead to great scoring chances against.

All I can hope for is that the new shift in direction towards analytics for many NHL teams will elevate Gardiner to some kind of reasonable trade value in their eyes, and the Leafs can get a capable defender in return.

We need a poor man's Subban for Weber trade

Best player on Wpg yesterday was Nicolaj Ehlers.
That guy is good.

Best guy on the Leafs.. probably Nylander? Holland played quite ok as well.
again an unimpressive game by the 'vets' JVR, Michalek, Martin etc.

We need a GM that looks only at analytics and doesn't actually watch the games to steal a trade for him.

You do and have had a bunch for a while.
Jays
Raps

Heck even the Argos have won a couple of cups in the past 10 years.

Im glad I didnt watch the Jays game, but thanks boys for a great October and season.
You've done the city proud.

Then there's the game I did watch.
4 goal lead killed in one period.
Matthews had a good game I thought.

But Laine won the first battle.

Its funny, I bet people on here were like,"Laine has been invisible for the first two periods, he sucks"

A 4 goal lead lost in one period.

You change the players, but the results remain the same.
Ah well shake it off. Another 78 games left.

You didn't watch the game..
