Right, Roger, and your team is in great shape, paying all that money to players who can't even get you into the playoffs.

We don't agree with him either.

Agreed, the Leafs deserved their opportunity to lose in the round of 16, not the round of 24!

The trading of the 1st was Dubas decision no one forced him to do that
Kadri trade was also his decision....

I'm not really sure where your train of thought is on this

- Mr_Smokey

The Leafs had to trade Marleau with a 1st. Blame Lou.

silver lining is the Leafs 2nd rnd pick will stay with them and not transfer to LA.
- dmnted

What place will the leafs fall to now? I assume not in the top 10 so they'll forfeit the pick

I’d send Marner and Sandin for Seth Jones. That’s probably one of the best contracts in the league. Kid is sick.

And look at their goals. Lucky bounce, and weak goal on Freddy. Leafs hit the post multiple times, and Korpi made some great saves. It happens. Oh well.

It's either:

Freddy
The D
The Forwards
The Coach
The GM...

Or a combination of any or all of the above.


Trade Tavares for a RD. Matthews gets the C.

Trade Nylander, Johnsson and every other soft player...MARNER maybe...on F or D and replace them with workers....you know the kind of player that was almost amazing but with less natural talent, the guys you should draft and develop....those guys work their asses off and are on teams like CBJ and BOS. Not our talented, overpaid pu$$ies.

(Matthews played and he is the only guy I'm happy with, FWIW)

And then...

Trade your boy Dubas if he doesn't make moves before next season.

And....nobody has said this yet....but WTF is Shanahan doing??? If we can see it, so can he....why is nothing ever getting done???

PS...FFS PS...FFS FFS FFS PS...
Marincin should never see ice time with this team again....never mind the last 4 years.

I disliked the Tavares signing from minute one. It was a horrible mistake that is now compunded by the flat cap.

I don't really blame him for this though.

- Aetherial

Yeah, I could see where better goaltending would have made the difference for you guys. On the other hand, what was Tavares's +/- for the series? I'm guessing it was -, simply based on watching him all those years on Long Island.

Well they were actually in the playoffs until the NHL came up with some truly bizzareness this summer.

For the record... I said this whole scheme was bullpoop as soon as it was announced. Other results have also shown how stupid it was.

Roeper sets himself up for it.

Doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is making actual changes to the structure of this team.

Dubas needs to finally admit that work ethic, defense, and physical presence actually do matter. You cannot win without these things.

Is there nerdalytics for those?

Problem is that d-men are hard to come by and all of the teams with good d-men know it.

you don't have a 1st (unless. you win the lottery)
- haywoodjablome

If we win the lottery we still have the 2022 1st.

If we lose the lottery we have the 2021 and 2022 1st.

Says the guy who's determined opinions on a GMs hockey moves defines intellect. Right after you go (frank) yourself you should get one of those cognitive tests... 🖕

Keefe got schooled by Torts tonight. The "Super" line all game? Played right into Torts' strength. He just played Werenski-Jones against them, and then dominated the other lines.

Yay
Let's hope dubas really gets fired - because if not, that second will change in a 3rd and 5th really quickly

- MaximusAurelius


Dubas’ mistake was size/term of contracts not signings. Hope he sticks around.
