I can assume all I want. What I can't do is assert that my claim is true - but I would be pretty shocked if it wasn't.

To say that Keefe is letting the team off the hook with regards to his comments to the media is absurd. If you want to read into that bull(poop) narrative, you're welcome to it.

The Leafs were dog(poop) last night. Everyone knows it. Needing to hear it from Keefe only serves narcissistic wish-fulfillment from supposed fans.

He literally let them off the hook publicly even though as you say, we all know. He had an optional practise today. He is babying these guys.

Yup... I know for a god damned fact I will be repeatedly shocked the year of their next Stanley Cup run....

Well... shocked if I’m not dead yet

Headlines:

LEAFS LOSE TO EMERGENCY BACKUP

oh and Ovechkin scores his 700th too
- Dozzer

Yeah nobody cares about Ovie today

Myers or Sanheim. Myers is a big bugger.
- aminnes

I have been saying Kapanen for P Myers for weeks 🤘

If Florida won last night it would make things alot worse, Thursdays game now becomes the biggest must win of the year for both teams, should be a good one

I concur. Myers would be fine but not for Kap, a 1st and a prospect.

Here's a thought: Dubas, swallow your pride and realize you aren't winning 13 of your remaining games and keep the first rounder. See what's available in the offseason or just draft a new player with it. Crazy concept I know but...
- aminnes

Agreed.

Yeah nobody cares about Ovie today

NBC here in the states had Pit / Wash on the mothership @ noon... And All they talked about was Ayres.... had him on in the 2nd intermission.... It's completely off the rails...

Myers is softer than Willy... You won't be pleased...

Amazing how many "rumour" accounts pop up this time of year. And they all know what the Leafs will be getting back for Barrie.

So an honest question.

Do you feel that Leafs would be this bad if Lou was the GM?

Shanny was doing everything so well... then he thought Leafs GM would be a great entry level job. All down hill since then. MM deserves 11M my ass. Embarrassing.

- Zezel

It’s so bad

Washington media: “Ovechkin scores 700!”

All other NHL media: “Leafs lose to Zamboni driver*

WM: “It’s possible Ovie might break Gretzky’s goal scoring record”

All other NHL media: “HE’S 42!!!!”

So an honest question.

I think Shanny said he was involved in the MM negotiations. He's just as big a part of the problem.

You're not wrong about the Marner contract but Lou has signed many bad contracts and keeps trading 2nd round picks for bums.

Also, thanks for setting up the Roger-signal. Now the thread is gonna get Roger'd.

I can’t believe it. Usually not someone that beats a dead horse - but man-o-man!

All organizations have ups and downs, good and bad, looks awful for a number of years, rebuilds, etc.

(Keep in mind I’m a Wings fan as I say this) - I have never seen such an embarrassment for an organization. It’s not even so much they lost or that it was the zamboni driver. They didn’t even care. Saw Hyman miss a chance and laugh, saw Marner smiling on the bench THREE TIMES. Saw a lifeless captain. This is one of the more talented Leafs teams in a decade, but it was this same group of lazy selfish millionaire kids that brought shame to the sweater. Absolutely pathetic.

The best thing to happen will be to miss playoffs. You GM will be fired or forced to realize that a successful hockey is a mix of skill, effort/heart, physicality, veteran and youth. A mix. Not a roster of soft lazy kids looking at what club to go to and what type of powder to party with and what their next commercial will be. Better yet - “did I look good walking into the rink? Was this the right choice of hat with tie?”

Giving kids contracts based on their highest potential ceiling out of entry level almost always backfires. It feeds the ego and diminishes determination almost every time.

Dubas ain't getting canned, he at least gets next year to fix this

It’s an emotional day
- Dozzer

😆

Myers is softer than Willy... You won't be pleased...
- dozerD10

Morin Sanheim and Provorov as well

😆
- Woderwick

Every visiting team should start Ayres for the rest of the season just to see what his record against the leafs ends up looking like.

I would bet that it would be at least decent lol

Dubas ain't getting canned, he at least gets next year to fix this
- kkvslayer

So he can keep trading away draft picks when his philosophy of soft skill only team is the root cause.

The team had so much potential. Dubas blew it all

Twitter tards are speculating that Barrie is going home to BC and is pending an extension being signed. God I hope so.

An extension means a better return. And that we get to face Barrie next Saturday

First round pick is top 10 protected right?

I mean, if we are going to miss the playoffs, Drysdale might be a good consolation prize.

- gamerdoc

Not agreeing with the way he's building the team but he just got "his guy" behind the bench midway through this season so very unlikely he gets canned without a full season of his vision

So an honest question.

The issue with this is Lou overpays players worse than Dubas does. Has anyone been following his signings?
