Keefe being hesitant to pull a goalie makes no sense especially with how Woll's been recently

Last 5 games 0.899sv. Would have pulled him and just let Jones go in

Recollect himself and start the WSH game

There was no tip he let in a softy no nice way to put it.

2 goals on 8 shots at the time not good

Make a save


The puck was flat when it left the guys stick and was fluttering end over end after it passed Lybushkin. Dropped on Woll, he still wanted it back but it was tipped. You love Lybushkin so it's never his fault eh? You can easily tell you you like because they can never do wrong. And those you don't like can do no good. Like I bet Timmins sucks still but how awesome was his play on Willy's goal. Probably McCabe gets credit though lol

Lul Woll has been bad this game what more is there to say

4 goals on 23 shots not good

Where is the lost part?

He did not have it together and let in softies should have sat him after the 4th goal and let him figure it out for WSH

Isolated moments in and isolated game. You are making up your own truth and bending everything to meet it. Play that game 10 times and the leafs win it 9 times.

This might be one of the most embarassing losses of the season only behind the 9-3 Buffalo game

Keefe should have been fired last year. He will cost this team another year of Matthews career

Its not a good look and they just bled what should have been 2 easy points

Allen put on a clinic probs to him but Woll's inability to make a save hurt them

Both teams played sloppy defense but one of the goalies made all the needed saves

PP also ice cold once again

We can blame Keefe or the team for not performing well this game

Defense and goaltending were dreadful. Keefe clearly wasnt happy u could see it the whole game.

That was by far one of their worst performances. They left Woll to dry and this time he couldnt make a save when needed

2 points down the drain RIP

Yea maybe when Sammy's ready we sit Woll for a bit and just let Jones backup

As since returning from injury, 1-4 last 5 games

3.65 and a save percentage of .871

He is borderline approaching early Sammy territory rn

Seriously? We are missing most of our blue line and Mitch Marner. We got goalied. I'd hardly call that one of the most embarrassing games this season

Its become to frequent of an issue. Goalied has been a term associated with us since the dawn of time

NJ also had injuries but they still won

PP ice cold

Dominate shots but Woll cant make a save

Should have been an easy 2 points in the bag but instead decide to play beer league hockey. Its the BUF game all over as neither goalie could stop Jack and team gave up on em


Woll's recent play besides CAR also a concern kid needs to get it together

Woll was hung out to dry. The team played like crap and this sort of game is a hallmark of Keefe's time in TO. They take the foot off the gas, or make the same mistakes all the time. Sure some guys have had problems. But the coach we have coaches this team and this is the same thing that always hurts them. Dumb mistakes that create odd man rushes the other way. It's a fatal flaw Keefe has never adjusted to fix. It'll be the same thing in the playoffs. Teams that thrive off transition offence will beat Keefe. He plays right into their hands. And even though they give up major chances against and it will "appear" the Leafs were the better team, the Leafs lose. At some point you can't say the players front all the blame when the game plan never changes to fix this flaw. Teams like New Jersey and Florida who thrive off quick strike transition are the absolute worst teams TO would want to face because Keefe doesn't understand how it works or something. He'll bemoan some mistakes and blame some guys but he'll also say we dominated the game because shots and possession blah blah blah. He needs sacrifice some offence to make sure we don't get burned anymore. Matthews and Nylander are definitely capable of winning a lot of 2-1 games by being ultra patient and solid defensively but Keefe doesn't do that

So was Allen but look what happened

Woll has been bad his last 5 games. Its basically Sammy at the start of the year

We cant be excusing him for these kinds of performances. Especially not after the chart highlighted NJ XG was barely 2.00 for 50 mins of this game

Team played awful in front but he can also make a save no rule against that

In the end props to Allen and to TOR never again

Cant always blame the coach all the time when its also on the players to. Tonight sloppy plays from everyone defense cannot be optional rn especially with playoffs a month away everyone needs to get it together sooner rather than later

Sure but not adjusting to that is a major problem. Keefe never adjusts


That's not exactly fair to Keefe

What killed the Leafs was them being soft to the Panthers forecheck+defensive zone pressure

What's Keefe supposed to adjust?

"Alright boys, we're going from soft hockey to hard hockey now" sounds a little weird

Allen didn't have too many odd man rushes against. Lots of scrambles shots he could see and so forth. This is why I say the Leafs "appear" to dominate but really they gave up better chances. And the luck was on new jersey's side.

Not even close. Florida has very little zone time, their forecheck didn't create anything. It was the transition offence. Pouncing on a turnover where the Leafs got killed.
