We have a 40 yo d-man playing way too many minutes. Bert and Domi a bust, we need to make some moves. Why is Reaves not with the Marlies getting conditioning, he has two more years. Where is Tre? Is he going to do anything? Just leaving the team out to dry. Welcome to Burke in Pitts 2.0. I...

Let's put things intro perspective. Matthews is having one of the best starts ever. Nylander is having the best start he's ever had. Marner is on pace for 90+ point season again. Rielly continues to be our best defencemen. This team should be at least as good if not better than last years...

Agreed, Galchenyuk played really well today, fast, great hands, and had the hustle. Considerable upgrade on Vesey so far, hopefully he only improves further from here. I rather have the top line performing consistently than the third or fourth line, so I'd have no issue putting Thornton lower...

Freddy wasn't responsible for all the goals, he was good, but he wasn't great, and that's what a first goaltender needs to be. The bigger issue is the lack of offence over the last little while, for the amount of fire power we have, we should be out scoring the other team even if Freddy isn't...

Video up on Maple Leafs youtube channel, post game locker room energy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkgPo88vDaA

What is a simple defensive game? That's just a cognitive bias for the inability to explain what needs to change. "Wrong plan", remember the plan comes from the top down, not the bottom up. Dubas defines the plan, and it's the responsibility of Babcock to get onboard. Babcock wanted more...

20 games is too small of a sample size to call Barrie a bad player, given his good performance in previous years. Tonight was just more evidence that Babcock is unable to adapt to a new style of play, and hasn't bought in to Dubas system. Too many people underestimate how much of a difference...

We are currently sitting in 8th and final the playoff spot in the eastern conference, with a few games on the next three teams. If we do not win the next two games, either Carolina, Buffalo, or Tampa will knock us out of playoff contention. We have 22pts with 20 games played, while Tampa has 18...

First it was Gardiner, then it was Zaitsev, and now it's Ceci and Barrie. Is the real issue Ceci and Barrie lack of ability, or the system they are being forced to play? The challenge is Babcock seems really stuck in his ways, and despite persistent issues, he doesn't adapt. The definition of...

They got back to back games coming up Friday (@ Boston) and Saturday (@ home vs Pittsburgh), and then have a few days off before they play again on Tuesday. I'm going to make the prediction; if they don't perform well in those two games, Babs will get fired Sunday morning, giving the leafs a few...

Although the score didn't reflect this, we dominated the first and second period. We have the skill to be a top team, but we consistently perform poorly when it comes to special teams (PP & PK). The system isn't working, and that system is designed by the coaching staff. The players are just as...
