Description

There is nobody to blame this game on other than Sheldon Keefe. This game was a disasterclass on his end. First, taking Boosh out over Holl was a terrible decision but I understand since Boosh hasn't played as well since the Boston game. But wait, he has to go and put Holl back with Muzzin and make them the 2nd pairing and the 1st PK. Im cutting Muzzin some slack since it was his first game back but my god Holl was horrendous in front of our net today. Keeping Clifford in over Simmonds was a terrible idea as well. Not changing our lines mid game was a mistake.

Also, these wins have really hidden the fact that we are a one line team rn. Hell even Bunting hasnt been very good. Matthews, Marner, Rielly, Boosh, Gio and Lilly have been carrying us to wins. All of the other forwards have moments of individual greatness that leads to a nice play or a goal but they are not consistantly making an impact when they are on the ice. When Florida started the comeback Keefe really should have put the bottom 3 lines in a blender and find something that worked bc what we went with really did not. Im hoping we try these lines next game and give Gio-Lilly top 4 Minutes.

I hope some of you fellow leafs fans agree on some of my points. Leave a comment if you would like to discuss anything.

That Clifford penalty was absolutely terrible, and I would have scratched Holl instead of the Boosh.
I would play Spezza over Abruzzese though, he QB’s the PP2 and is very good at face offs.

I sure wish folks would watch Leaf games rather than look at scoring points. If worried about defensive play, don't know why Holl gets so much blame. Reilly and Brodie have been poor lately at even strength. But somehow the so many Leaf fans look at the salaries of players and make their contributions based on that.
Bunting has been very good.
So has Engvall and Mikheyev have been good.
The erratic Nylander at times is the one guy that doesn't live up to his contract or his prime minutes.

But I'll agree the Leafs better get balanced scoring five on five because they can't depend on the PP as the difference make in the playoffs.

Im fine with Spezza playing as long as he doesn't play every night.

I wouldn’t worry about that. Knies will be signed soon, and make us all wish he was eligible for the playoffs

IMO the Leafs are playing Abruzzese to see if centre ice capable for next season. Right now the Leafs don't have much NHL centre depth. And if they trade Kerfoot, for cap space, they have to be ensure all of Matthews, Tavares, Kampf. and Abruzzese are solid. There are no Marlies NHL ready. So maybe it's Nylander or Engvall that play centre next season in case of injury to their regular centres.
