Our PK system is so bad its like let the Bruin skate right in and just pray for the goalie to make a save lul

Like they just lose their assignment so easily and the front of our net just = free parking sign


1/14 they done

Boucher **** off


Big 4 what we paying you for

Teams total goals

1 game 1 (none of big 4)
3 game 2 (Matthews and JT) oh wait Ullmark was in net
2 game 3 (none of big 4)

Team cant score but hey maybe it will spark them to actually try and score put Woll or Jones or whoever yah want in game 5

Saves yah one more game before you go home and make it 7 in a row

Brad has a lot of thinking/work to do for the offseason but first

**** off Boucher, **** off Keefe, **** off Chynoweth, **** off Ryn

Likely the last Leafs home game for a bunch of players…

At this point, start Woll game 5 and hope for the best

On the bright side:
The Leafs still have a chance to slay the dragon (both the Bruins and Game 7)
They will forced to do so in the same fashion as in 2013 (potentially giving an answer to when Bruins fans say “2013”)
If this is accomplished, the Bruins will have choked 3-1 series leads in consecutive years on home ice
Game 5 will be on the road (the Leafs are approx .350 at home and .500 on the road in the playoffs since 2016)

With the PP at 7% and PK at 50% its gonna take to many miracles

They may win game 5 but losing 6 in a row at home does not boad well for them game 6

Maybe they do lets see but rn the wolves are smelling blood and circling us like a wounded animal. Their killer instinct will be on full display and after the FLA series they want blood

To distract us from the potential pending doom why dont we name some FA targets to go after this summer

We got around 20m to spend so let that be a factor minus the trade potentials

Leave the potential targets in the replies

Put the lines in a blender next game and hope for the best. Start Woll. We're due for a miracle.

Even if Matthews is back, I'd leave the BDM line together - seemed to create room for Marner and if anyone needs it, it's him.

Robertson - Matthews (if back) - Jarnkrok*
Bertuzzi - Domi - Marner
Knies - Tavares - Nylander*
Dewar/Holmberg - Kampf - Reaves

* Potentially swap

There’s no salary cap on assistant coaches, head coaches, or even presidents right? I think if the Leafs lose again, the entire coaching staff is gone, while Marner, Tavares, and Shanahan each have a shot of lasting through next season

It's not even that I have hope (okay, maybe like 1%) but it's like "well we've got nothing to lose now"

The guy I really want is Dylan Demelo

Is style of play fits perfectly with Rielly

He should not cost more than 4m and brings some toughness to

I think Keefe's galaxy brains coming and so I think that might be the thing to get rid of him

Demelo is really not a toughness guy. Are you thinking Dillon from the Jets?
