Mike Augello: Leafs Come Up Small Against Bruins; The Atlantic Problem Is A Fatal Flaw

Something is seriously wrong in the chemistry/make up of the team but still think a lot of the issues track right back to the coach. Game prep, systems and structure, roster use etc.

Oh an first 😝

From last blog:

You've won ONE series in what? 20 years? ... with your current lineup.
Come back to me when you reach the Stanley Cup finals.

Anyway, have a nice day.

Yes 6 year old Auston Matthews was not the dominate force he is now.

You are bragging about the time the Habs rode the coat tails of the god like play of Price to the finals that one time and then failed him miserably when he only played good to great in the finals and not god like?

Weird flex - maybe just go eat some more lasagna and stick to the Habs thread or another sport more suited to the current Montreal hockey club.....

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!

Too bad you can't just ban him.

Let's take a look at the dumb boilerplate poop Queefe had to say last night after he poop the bed :

"They are a premier team in the league. Every night that you play them, you are in for a tough night. It was exactly what we expected in that sense. Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said after the game. “Boston played hard. They defended their net extremely well. I thought they were better than us in that area for sure. When they make good on their chances and we don’t make good on ours, you tend to overanalyze the game and over-emphasize the negative. We did a lot of good things today, but you can’t just do good things and expect to beat a team like Boston. You have to do great things. You have to be ultra-competitive. You have to be great on special teams. A lot of things need to line up. There weren’t enough of those for us tonight.”

Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said after the game. “Boston played hard. They defended their net extremely well (too well). I thought they were better than us in that area for sure (despite being banged up on defense). When they make good on their chances and we don’t make good on ours, you tend to overanalyze the game and over-emphasize the negative (WTF is this excuse salad?). We did a lot of good things today, but you can’t just do good things and expect to beat a team like Boston (who has a worse team on paper). You have to do great things. You have to be ultra-competitive. You have to be great on special teams. A lot of things need to line up. There weren’t enough of those for us tonight. (because of culture and coaching)”

Does Matthews or Rielly have to coach this team as well?

Queefe sounds like a broken record with a frog in his pocket. Mofo is the one who isn't being "ultra competitive" or "doing great things". What great thing is Queefe bringing to the bench to help his team be ultra-competitive? Nonsensical line blendering? Predictable set plays and special teams? Refusal to take smart chances and a willingness to repeat the same mistakes?

No wonder nobody buys into Queefe. What is he bringing at this point?

Shoot this clown into the Sun.

They're still salty after Ducherov pissed all over their fans and city, while walking away with the Cup.

Easier to replace a coach but at the end of the day, it's up to the players to commit to play a competitive physical, engaged, 200ft game. Maybe the players need a different voice to finally get it...I think the Leafs have reached that point this year, make a good run in the playoffs or look for a job

Unless the NHL changes its current playoff format, the way to the postseason promised land goes through Boston or Florida for the next few seasons. Those teams do not seem to have an issue of rising to the occasion against the Leafs. The same cannot be said for Toronto.

Isn't this on the coach?

Boys need to pull up their working pants and not show any plumbers crack and get to work!!!

Too bad you can't just ban him.

if grown men need another man to tell them to work harder to achieve their goal of success then you have the wrong group of men

To be fair, he sounded like a complete drunk jackass when he did.

A winning jackass but a jackass still.

They get to this point every year for like the last three or four seasons.

Buckle down and buy in or get ready to go home early. Guess which one has happened just about every time?

His nickname suits him well...........

It's nothing Torts and Skalapy couldn't bag skate out of them. Bring in the ghost of Punch Imlach and let him whip them into shape. Buy in or get out.

Rielly is there. Matthews has Tiger Blood, but doesn't know it yet. Matthews is Neo. It could be done.

To be fair, he sounded like a complete drunk jackass when he did.

A winning jackass but a jackass still.

It was douchey. It's part of why he will always be Ducherov in my book.

Best right winger in the game right now, but what a colossal douchebag.

To be fair, he sounded like a complete drunk jackass when he did.

A winning jackass but a jackass still.

- Scabeh

He's an absolute piece of poop BUT he wins

He's an absolute piece of poop BUT he wins
- BINGO!

nobody questioned his talent, he is amazing. I would take him on my team any day, same with Marchand.

but they are still douchebags

I cant wait til the Leafs bring back Holl.

I cant wait til the Leafs bring back Holl.

A first round exit would be juicy as well.

I cant wait til the Leafs bring back Holl.

You shut your filthy, dirty, whore mouth Drexel!

I cant wait til the Leafs bring back Holl.

Holl and Lyubushkin

I mean, they are currently the hottest team in the league even after having their best defenseman suspended for 5 games and serious issues on goaltending...

...wasn't putting Tavares on the 3rd line and moving up Derpluzzi and Domi a smart chance with the blender that has worked well?

I know it's tough to take when they don't win every single game but they're doing pretty good. I recall they recently beat Vegas and Colorado at home, Winnipeg back-to-back, the Rangers....
