It all starts with Tavares. Robot pajama boy will take the blame. Heck, I would for $11M a yr. No shame in that. Sorry your city will suffer another decade in obscurity. You blew ur payroll on offense. Kyle has some things to learn. We have Lou & Barry. Seems to be working out well despite all the “experts” saying we were a fluke. Haha. Always good to prove the pundits wrong.

Worst defense in the NHL....Hawks or Leafs?

No but seriously how do you lose Jake Gardiner and somehow become even worse defensively?

bad coaching?
bad system?
lack of toughness?
lousy and lazy locker room culture?
3 young stars being paid too much and getting lazy?

Hey MiB,

What are your views on the way this roster is constructed?

Do you like the new version of the Leafs where they pay 4 players and ask everyone else to play for scraps?
Do you think other players look at those 4 (or maybe 3) as entitled kids?
Do you think the Leafs even need a backup goalie or could we roll Andersen out 82 times?
Do you think there is any need in hockey to actually play defense?
Do you think there is any need to back your team mate up?
Do you think Spezza still has a few years left in him playing at a high level?
Do you know what the point of Petan is?
Do you like Pivot tables?
Do you think the Leafs are "forward thinkers" by trying to do something that hasn't been done just for the sake of it?
Are you looking forward to the Leafs firing Babcock so we can really get to the issue with this team?
Do you laugh at the people that bought in to the media hype?
Do you think the GM understands that PKs are a real thing?
Are you excited to see Paul McFarland work his magic with this group?
Do you ever want to punch Mitch Marner's stupid face?
Do you cringe every time whenever someone says "still early"?

Just a few topics that could be covered next blog.

Dubas built this team in NHL 2018 GM mode and it worked.

Why won't it work for real?!

Leafs need to trade for Georgiev. He's the perfect fit, more than capable of playing 40+ games, only has a 792K cap hit this year. Thrives playing behind a very suspect blue line.

This team is way too talented to be this bad. They look like crap playing babs system/style then when they decide to play they're dominant. If this coach can't get this team to play 60mins a game then it's time to move on. It almost looks like they've tuned him out or something. How else to you explain this?


I thought babs is here for the full year and then decision made at the end of the year based on how the year went. If this continues he doesn't last much longer. It's a mess right now. The leafs are constructed a certain way but babs is stubbornly trying to put square peg in round hole. His usage continues to baffle.

Why on earth did the leafs acquire a dynamic fast paced puck carrying dman then tell him to slow down and not play him oh the pp? It looks like babs is deliberately sabotaging this team.

"The Maple Leafs appear less worried than everyone else about the position. They didn’t win any of Michael Hutchinson’s starts, but don’t appear hell-bent on chasing outside the organization."

Sums the management team up for me.

The only time this team dominates is
garbage time.
Guaranteed to be out of a playoff spot
tomorrow morning.
Exactly where they deserve to be.

Obviously the Hawks.

Leafs don't have defence.

Serious question. Why would you want to trade him?

Another problem is Andersen is one of the most overrated goaltenders in the league, buts leaf fans won't admit that....
