Reffing is totally different in the OHL lmao. 3rd knights PP in the 1st period.

London subscribes to the idea that if you play a hard game, refs will even it up and you can benefit if you have great PKs and PPs, whoch we do


Saginaw cant keep the pass out of the slot and Haltunen scores!!! 2-0 get ****ed Saginaw

Cowen being a bit of a goon and ending up in the box. London still dominating lets see if Saginaw can get a late one here

Again London keeps the slot safe so much better than the Leafs. Every time the puck goes near it gets out. Every time

What are we paying anyone for? Domi and Bertuzzi have points off the back of Matthews. Marner has 2 points as does JT. Who has done anything? Blaming the core is lazy. No one produces under Keefe's system. No one has, beyond the core. Bertuzzi and Domi were supposed to be difference makers, and they haven't made a difference.


In 4 Games the big 3 and with Willy back now have a whopping 6 points

Matthews 1 goal and 2 assists
JT 1 PP goal
Marner 1 goal and assist

6 Points and making almost 35m between the 3 of them EMBARASSING

Face it they have not been good enough. No more excuses for them

Domi and Bertuzzi havent been good enough either but they aint the focus here. The focus is the big 4 eating almost 50m of our cap and have once again **** the bed. BOS is eating them alive


In the end these are the guys being paid the big dollars, these are the guys who are expected to perform above the rest, everyone else is secondary. But so far the big 4 individually have the same amount of goals as Domi, Bertuzzi, Kampf, etc.

I can see why Berube is waiting to keep all his options open

He knows theirs a bigger opportunity waiting and when Leafs clean house on the coaching staff besides maybe Chynoweth prime opportunity for him

Chynoweth to me is the one assistant you keep as if you can bring in proper guys for this PK he can get it back to 80% again he had it there 2 seasons in a row


It's crazy to me that people want Berube. He'd be no better than Keefe. Go out and get a guy who fits this roster like Jay Woodcroft

He won STL a cup and who did he beat to get it?

BOS who still had Bergeron, Krejci, Chara, Rask and as a bonus made Marchand cry

And if management wasnt stupid letting Pietrangelo go and if Binnington didnt fall off would have probs won STL another cup

Of course he would be better. Keefe in the playoffs is a joke guy gets stuffed in a locker, his style works great in the reg but like this team falls off in the playoffs. Ducharme ****ing beat him in the playoffs lul



Woodcraft's just another Keefe. TOR needs a hard school coach who will whip these boys into shape, call them out when they underperform, and build a new culture and playstyle

Thats a heck of a rush by Cowen and a great passing play that restores the 2 goal lead.

Refs saying no goal though? Its gonna get a look

Theyre claiming that Cowen (who had the puck) put himself offside.

Saginaw getting some sustained zone time here. Puck into the net. London needs to win this faceoff and relieve pressure

I know you only focus on the big 4, one of who has played 1 game, 1 who is dreadfully sick and another who clearly isn't 100% either. But let's ignore Keefe. Him and Sammy are indefensible and yet you defend them.

No they need a coach who can implement a system that works in the playoffs.

Again your excusing the big boys

Sad

Nylander's the only one getting a pass due to health keeping him out but it still highlights the fundemental flaw with this team

When you put all this money into 4 guys and these are the results you aint winning

Every leaf fan is focusing on the big 4 and for good reason they are the one's expected to do well these playoffs and so far they have been once again underperforming

They did it with Babcock in the past to. We cant just keep blaming the coach

Under Keefe Matthews scored 69 goals in the regular season. These playoffs 1 goal in 4 GP

Enough excuses

This team has trouble scoring and these are the guys we are paying double digits to do so and they be ****ting the bed

Its time for change and not just with the coach

If others produced anything meaningful you can point at the big boys but no one produces under Keefe. Get a better coach. Start there.

The big guns are following the game plan of the coach. And the opposing coaches always figure out how to stop TO's offence and Keefe does nothing.

Babs was a different time, they were all young players and were underdogs. You give Babs and Keefe a pass. You always give Sammy a pass and now everyone but the core is getting a pass.
