We have to skate & be intense for 60mins. We can bang. We can out score our problems but ill advised to hope it’s that easy. We rely on Marky too often. Our D can be exposed at times. PP is good PK needs better results. That’s my summary of the Canucks. Minny is a good opponent where all of this doesn’t necessarily all apply. Going forward if we beat them will be the real test.

Trade Boeser for Dumba

Also, (frank) this guy.

Just finished back reading.

I agree with you, Matthews had a really good game.

I thought the Leafs played a pretty good game for about 45m.

Tavares was sloppy...he can piss me off at times, probably because Matthews should have the C, IMO.

Marner was kinda weak and sloppy all night.

Nylander has absolutely no grit or D.

I could pick thru the rest of the team but I really didn't see any problem with Matthews.


Edit: also agree with the bolded, a lot...like a lot a lot.

Wonder how the hockey Gods react on that scrub CC who scores every blue moon. Get credited for that Seth Jones goal

Ehhhhhhhh bad as usual

Robertson-Tavares-Anderson

Barabanov-Engvall-Spezza

Rielly-Pesce
Muzzin-Ekblad
Sandin-Holl


Leafs win Cup. I still get called childish. Everyone is happy.



The coffee I had earlier kicked in...



Trades:

Nylander+Liljegren for Ekblad+Tippett (Why not?)


Kapanen+Dermott for Pesce+2020 2nd (Bingo can suck it)


Johnsson for Anderson (I fear Anderson will turn into Clarkson 2.0, but (frank) it)

Imo that doesn’t get you Pesce+ or Anderson. Ekblad maybe but not sure.

Trade Boeser for Dumba
- mr.sir

I luv Dumba but don’t see Boeser going anywhere. RW is a strength til Toffoli goes if not resigned. We do need RHD like many teams do.

This gent is due for another ass tattoo.

One thing's for sure - if Torts was the Leafs' coach, he would've made Dubois pay for the Muzzin crosscheck. Clifford would probably have to sit a couple of games and Dubois would probably not have a hattie...
And Leafs would probably be up 2-1 in games...

Despite a unfortunate own goal, Seth Jones lives up to nightmareners salary

I think they should try the Calgary method and injure their two best players. Seems to have worked out.

Leafs tried a different method and took out one of thier own best players

The leafs will win tonight, we know this. There is no way they are going to go out 3-1...its not devastating enough. They have to pull off some soul crushing move in gm 5

its the only way

Leafs sat on the toilet after 2nd and didn't get off.

I see we are back to trading everyone and believing this team can't win.

If the leafs play like they did in game 2 or 2 periods of last night, clb can't touch them. They have to play 60 though and not pack it in after 2.

Some merit in this proposal.

Except, can the Leafs afford to engage in a physical brawl.

Seems to me that would be playing directly into the Torts game plan.

Yep. Play their game or go home.

I think you should keep everyone specifically because this team can't win......this roster as it is, is absolutely not a threat to compete for the cup. they aren't in the same league as teams like Boston, Tampa, Washington, Colorado, St. Louis, etc, etc

clb isn't dominating the leafs physically

Or after every loss.

But either way, go leafs. They lose tonight and I am probably on the "trade someone" train as well.
