I have this crazy feeling the Leafs are going all the way this year. I've never seen it so clear before. The prophecy shall be fulfilled

Why would last nights loss be on Samsonov?

He played more than well enough to win that game.

So watching that game was about as satisfying as Wedgie having sex with two hot lesbians.










Of course, we are talking about how it wouldn’t be satisfying for the lesbians.

That’s why there are two of them

Haven't seen one fan blame him.

A fan can say a goalie had a bad game, doesn't mean anyone is blaming him. Seems to be an trigger for some when a fan says a goalie could have played better.

Atlantic division, blue and white uniforms. The line is pretty blurry.

Both teams are shopping the same market for d-men right now. Savard could end up in Toronto.

I was watching the Panthers last game @TB, and I heard the home crowd does the Olé olé cheer after a goal. So TB copies Toronto’s colors, and Montreal’s celebration cheer.

No?

Any player can play bad and the team still win.

Sammy has played bad and the team still win, Sammy has also played good and the team still lose.

A fan can criticize a goalies game without putting the blame on him.

Seems to be that some feel when a fan is criticizing a goalie for a bad night they are excusing the team for the loss which is not the case.

Naw, Derpluzzi was okay which is surprising because obviously his decision-making is suspect at best.

We did actually win those years, but it was rigged.

Actually, the funny thing is I did get a couple pairs of new glasses today.

No.
Unless they say, sammie cost us the game.
But thats not the same as "he didnt play well".

Some are just a little sensitive

That’s fine you can think that.

For me he had a bad game, seems like most agree.

If Sammy plays like that every game for the rest of the year the leafs aren’t in a good spot, and won’t win many playoff games.

Need more from your goaltender, Leafs didn’t help him out either.

But people are allowed to say Sammie had a bad game, he had a good run for 10 games it’s okay.

Serious question

Are any of you confident with Samsosoft starting Game 1 of the playoffs?

I’m not….

When the whole team plays well they cover up the same issues:

1. Tavares' poor play and giveaways. Last night was so obvious but he does it ALL the time and he's slow AF. Something must be wrong with him, even I can see he's worse than usual. Time to lose the C. He's junk right now and leading no one. Reaves is out scoring him lately with less give aways.

2. Keefe gets out coached constantly. His line blender screams insecurity or lack of control over his players. And his lack of accountability for players like Tavares or the others is ridiculous. Kampf sure. Reaves sure. Any of the other overpaid guys, nope. (Matthews is always solid so he's not included in this, at all, ever. The bestus.)

3. The D is not horrible but bad...horrible at times. Rielly is another give away machine and really bad in his own end. He needs a legit defensive partner. Then add Keefe's dumb as poop pairings to start the game and presto the Leafs D is terrible and playing from behind. They need at least one solid top 4 RHD, two if they could dump Brodie.

4. Goaltending is suspect at best. Sammy was decent enough last night and made a couple of great saves. But I'll hold judgement until Woll is back...even though the rookie goaltender and Cup win is a long shot IMO.

Tree needs to get to work on the #3 at least. Tavares, Keefe and Brodie are going no where this season and the G position is over stocked so it won't change before the playoffs.

Never really appreciated a coaching change and good GMing until I spectated Vancouver's recent resurgence. Imagine what Tocchet could've done with the Leafs??? Or if Tree added Zadorov and Soucy???

(frank)ing hate missing out on simple trades for the right players.

PS, I don't think Tanev is the answer. I just get the feeling it would be Foligno 2.0.
