god this team is terrible to watch. Laughable defensively, constant turnovers, 0 structure, breakouts are non existent, no gap control at blue line.

Its actually as if theyre not being coached at all. On top of that theres never been a time where ive disliked more players on the leafs at same time. Other than Brown i would get rid of entire bottom 6. Crabb, boyce are NOT NHLers. Connolly, Lombardi are useless. Like there is nothing encouraging about this team right now.

1. Niemi is a very very bad puckhandler
2. Phaneuf is getting worse and worse (maybe a ´warning´ of 2-3 games of would wake him up...)

Phaneuf needs to be a purely physical defence first guy.. He just stood there, screened Reimer, then moved out of the way at the last second.. Great system...

Sharks 2 Leafs 0, this game is over E5!

San Jose is playing the book on the Leafs on how to beat them. Clog up the middle and make them play on the outside. Every team knows how to do it now. To you, Brian Burke.......

I'm not from toronto but i know of the high ticket prices but why is there always so many empty seat at the ACC.. and there never seems to be any energy in it. I've been to leafs games at the bell centre and it's much much louder.

I guess, it pisses me off because toronto is such a hockey savvy market yet they can't fill up an arena.

Nah, we've got to keep Burke. At the end of the day, he's still a good GM.

His loyalty to that chump behind the bench will be his downfall, though.
