Leafs are losing because they're not playing well. Refs are adding insult to injury
- TheMussel

Leafs are losing because Bruins are playing way better than the other night and Leafs are having trouble adapting. Lots of time left in the game and this is only game 2. Everyone just relax.

Refs are a non issue. You guys can't be serious that the ref's are pro Bruins?! 29 billionaires would be on the warpath if that were true.

Nylander has a character problem. It's what scouts were concerned about prior to the draft and I'm afraid it's true. Hopefully he has a big bounce back season so Leafs can explore trade options. I wouldn't want to force a trade, but if there's a good hockey trade out there, they should consider it.

I think growing up around his dad it was drilled into him to prioritize health over everything else. He grew up being cautious, relies on skill.

The only trade proposal that UG got right: Nylander for Hamilton.

Nylander and Matthews for McDavid

I like the bruins play but they got 3 lucky bounces or they wouldnt be anywhere near 3-0. Every goal was a self-inflicted goal by the Leafs on themselves, and it was done with no Bruins player anywhere near them. Its like they came out specifically to lose.

The only thing that pisses me off is Willy floating like a butterfly in pre-season. At least pretend to give a fk.

I can even stomach that stupid goal, fine, a bad play or bounce, but the rest of the game? The hell is he doing out on the ice? Even the 4th liners are playing harder.

target Chara.
take out the big guy, and the rest will quiet down.

Sooooo.... excessive violence with tasers pepper spray a knifing then some gun play?

Pretty bad when I actually mss Kerry Fraser

Nylander and Matthews for McDavid
- AngryWhiteMale

That is not far off 👍

But wouldn't it make more sense to overreact emotionally and trade him to another team for a small return, and then watch him excel elsewhere?
- Zezel

You wouldn't trade him for peanuts.
I was hoping he would make me forget about his season in these playoffs.
Still lots of games left, he can still impress.
But he is soft often.

Agreed totally

That said put the refs names back on the jerseys. No more hiding who you are and how lousy you are.
- Roadrunner75

Never should've taken them off. They damn well should be accountable.

Have Darcy teach the guys that Peca negating move?!?!😳😱

Then (frank) him for holding out and hurting the team. Their record without him is way better. Wait and see how he does in the playoffs they say. Ok give him one more year, maybe he’ll suddenly try a lot harder..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

I dont like the hold out any more than you do, but it's life.
I don't expect his caresi level to jump dramatically, but I do expect his points, and that's good enough for me until they can decide what to do with him long term.
Dubas is patient. And that's a good thing with how vocal (and stupid) Leafs fans are.

That sounds like great advice from a caring parent.

Somehow I think that it's a negative.. In this context,?

Yeah I hear you man. All that stuff about Freddie not being Reddie are gone now.

- Thornton22

You're right on the first part. I think the Bruins looked at the game tape and came up with a better game plan tonight to deal with the Leafs. They also really didn't want to fall down 2-0 and go to Toronto, so they're putting forth a much better effort tonight.

Admittedly quiet. Solid checking work but year he needs to produce

Have we contacted Unsolved Mysteries to cancel the segment since we found the troll again?

It's almost like everyone forgot he had a great first game
