<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Yes were going to pick individual plays, because Mitch is on the wrong end of a ton of them and isnt providing any meaningful value.

He is a liability</div></div>

Like if we want to nitpick there be clips of Willy in the TBL series not looking great

JT and Matthews not looking great in FLA



He aint a liability stop being silly

Guys coming back from a high ankle sprain and those take a while to fully heal

But if were being nitpicks we can say that about all the guys as we have seen fumbles from everyone at various points this and last playoffs especially from the other big 4.

Heck we dont know how Willy's gonna be once he comes back from injury . Its all ifs ands or buts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Leafs played undisciplined so what more could Keefe do lul. This be on the players

3 offensive zone penalties by the top line says enough

Horrible officiating nothing new play through it you did against TBL

Nobody looked good that game cant really single much but the top line taking 4 penalties. Only line I got impressed with for a second was the 4th at times

Having that short of a leash on a goalie after one bad game will get us no where. What if Woll sucks then what? Sammy gets game 2 if team continues like this then Woll game 3</div></div>

If you think everyone was just bad then we watched a different game. Clearly there were issues but the Leafs out shot and out hit Boston. Moneypuck has the expected goals at 7.4 to 3.7 in favour of Toronto.

The lesson I take is that we need more of what we got from the first line. Boston was doing the same **** but since everyone does it nobody gets called. On Toronto it stands out when Domi or Bert do it cause nobody else does.

Also the two high sticks are complete flukes, wouldn't read into it.

In terms of the goalie. If it's going to be a tight checking defensive game then we need Woll. Sammy will give you the brilliant save that Woll won't but he also lets in a bunch of ****ty screenshots like 2 of the goals today that Woll rarely allows. I'd rather give up the 1 goal on a crazy play that Sammy would save and get stability that this team didn't have this game. That 2nd goal was a backbreaker. Never goes in on Woll.

A few talking points:

1. More poor decisions from Keefe. Jarnkrok on PP1, not pulling Sammy at the start of the last PP. Again he really seems to struggle to motivate the team and get them to play the right way at the right times.

2. Horrible officiating.

3. Jarnkrok and Holmberg stand out as two guys who played really poorly. Both honestly looked completely lost and had many turnovers. Robertson is the only guy on that line who can carry the puck. They knew that and kept stepping up on him but the other two couldn't capitalize on transition chances.

3. Knies looked great but Marner as always disappeared. He seemed completely lost out there.

4. Woll should start next game. Not blaming Sammy but he didn't do enough to win the next for the next game.

Thoughts?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>Yea, no reason to spend upfront. Money should be going to the D core.

McMann, Robertson, Holmberg, Knies and maybe Minten can fill key roles.

I'd also move Kampf and Jarnkrok, with the cap going up both should have some value.</div></div>

0 need to move either

Kampf value is borderline capdump if they want to trade. Look what Van had to give to move Dickinson. Since we got Dewar hes been better and whether Reaves plays or someone else been happy with the second half 4th line. Jarnkrok when healthy is useful can play everywhere and we need guys like that.

Cant just be all kids in the lineup need veterans to in order to fill some roles. Otherwise other issues arise
