The Leafs are again getting dominated by a bad team. Marner and Tavares continue to play poorly. They need to start driving shifts and possession. Right now they mostly look like they?re afraid of body contact.

Yep. Which is a pretty gross position to be in given that the kid makes 11 million. He has to hit the gym in the offseason.

Someone should tap Tavares on the shoulder to make sure he?s awake.

It?s like we?re trying to pass straight to San Jose. The entire team is standing around.

Tavares looks like he?s physically in pain when he has to skate, especially near the end of a shift. Why is he aging so rapidly? Luckily we?re only one impossible Matthews wrist shot from being tied.

The Lesfs are playing in slow motion. We?re getting gooned by a bad team right now.

The Leafs are playing approximately zero defence.

Campbell is stealing this after terrible giveaways by Engvall and Kerfoot. We?re lucky to be tied after that start this period.

They are getting Barrie for the rest of the season as they fight for a playoff spot and try to make a run. There is value there. He has another gear if the team can figure out how to use it.

Agreed.

I like it. Nice to have some grownups in the room.

Marner was overpaid by $3 million as soon as the ink on his contract was dry. He?s getting points but a lot of that is due to playing with arguably the best pure shooter in the league. Generally he?s been a turnover machine and has been a little too predictable through the neutral zone. He will...

So what?s going on with Tavares this year? He seems to be a step slower than last year and he was already not very fast then. It?s gotten to the point where he isn?t really backchecking because he can?t keep up.

I?m gonna day it. They look hung over.

Carolina played last night by the way. This is wild

John Tavares looks like he?s older than the Zamboni driver.

Andersen looks good. Our 11 million dollar players are skating in slow motion.

Nice complete performance by everyone. It's been a while since we could say that. Kapanen is fun to watch when he's mad and aggressive.

Pretty solid rant. I think it's fair to say that they are an immensely talented team with huge potential but the effort is not consistently there. Too often players like Mitch Marner coast around, give the puck away and generally lack any real intensity. Part of the problem is that some of these...

Tavares with a characteristically sleepy game. Sometimes you need your captain to inspire and lead by example. Matthews has been doing that. Tavares hasn?t. Obviously it?s not just Tavares either. Almost everyone is underperforming their contracts this year.
