This looks like the Tuesday version of the Leafs.

1 PKer outworking 4 in the corner there.

- gravyface


Carolina played last night so they'll come out strong out of the gate. In theory, they'll fade in the 3rd.

But the Leafs are playing sleepy for sure.

Leafs would be better if they were a soccer team. Just one game a week with 4 practices.

2 pp's and we're still being outshot 10-5.

Think about it logically.

Two QBs in the NFL throw 10 INT each. But one throws 1000 passes and the other throws 100. Who is the better QB?

You know the difference, don't pretend.

I’ll just use my pretend ignore button instead 🥴 and enjoy the game.

Wouldn't be surprised if he retired with the most Calder Cups of all-time.

They did what? Oh right, they lost. Why? Too much offensive attention, not enough defensive attention.

Babcock tried to change that, players revolted because they knew they were safe and got him fired.

Back to pond hockey. Won't win a Cup that way.

- JohnFergusonJr


Babcock had everyone playing a defensive focus. He demanded it as the standard, and it didn't work and resulted in his firing for the team's poor performance.

Just stop. Seriously. Stop. You don't know anything let alone everything. You're completely unbearable with your I'm an armchair GM legend and everyone else is stupid shtick. Just stop.

Their PP has looked like poop for weeks now and it's getting more and more ineffective.

For a team that lives and dies by it's offense, you'd think the PP would at least consistently look good.

The @MapleLeafs have acquired forward Miikka Salomaki from Nashville in exchange for Ben Harpur.

can we STOP with this garbage...

I'm glad they want to build the AHL team... but maybe, just maybe focus on the NHL team?

Didn't work because the players didn't buy in. What part of "the players revolted" don't you understand? Wrong players because the GM didn't bring in the right guys for the job.

They did that last year.

Just stop. Stop acting like you know everything and therefore it is fact. You don't have a smidge of a clue compared to the guys working in the NHL just like everyone else..

I think the bolded text sums it all up.

I'm pretty confident Dubas is capable of doing both.

Just scroll past his posts when he gets going like this. Any response you make will just be taken as an invitation to spew more "facts" that he pulls out of his ass.

Kyle Dubas went right to the phone as Barrie left the game. #LeafsForever


Doughty for Kerfoot, Malgin, and a 2nd.

Im surprised it may come to as much, but it just make take a group effort of ignoring him to get him to (frank) off and spew his text vomit somewhere else.

They can’t even put two good games together, and there are still people who think they can win.


Should’ve sat Barrie.

they moved a defenceman for a forward.... I'm guessing based on what literally EVERYONE is saying the Leafs need defence more than yet another forward.

but no worries, another 5'11" power forward in the fold
