1. Slow start for big 3 is not what I had on my mind at the beginning of the season

2. Respectfully can Auston Mitch and Willy do anything? Jesus Christ.

3. I’m still waiting to see Berube earn the nickname “Chief”

   so far I see zero accountability or progression overall

4. Get ready to hear Caufield’s all intermission long

5. finish your check willy ffs

6. Nylander looked open back door.

7. Dear McCabe stop dumping it in …give it to Willy or maxi ..they can carry it

8. I’m getting really tired of the top 6

9. Can we stop shooting it directly at the goalie’s chest? 

10. Top 6 straight up just not skating or anything

11. Should’ve passed to Nylander but it probably would be hard to do

12. McMann had Nylander so open. Still a good play

13. The game thread is more toxic than last year lol

14. Hey it’s only the 3rd game maybe the core four forgets how to score in the regular season and pulls the uno reverse and lights it up in the playoffs? I’d take the tradeoff lol

15. SN intermission? no thanks buddy

16. cue the McDavid speech

17. Marner should have been traded in the offseason, that value is just gonna keep dropping.

18. No name goaltenders love the Leafs

19. Chief better be kicking the garbage can back there

20. That was a hell of a frustrating first period. They’re getting absolutely smothered out there.

21. Not great, not terrible first period. Holmberg overplaying on the PK gave Pens the chance to score and they used it.

22. Overall that was a pathetic first period. First line with zero points 7 periods into the season.

23. the classic shot into the crest and then people will be saying after the game that we just got goalie’d when it’s just shots into the logo and holmberg elite one timer along the ice 1mph

24. Disinterested group. Need a big response here.

25. Your 3 best players have been ghosts. Berube held McMann accountable for a mediocre preseason and he’s been pretty awesome in the last 4 periods. Maybe time for some accountability at the top?

26. Lol Quaker is gonna give them some granola bars and call it a day

27. This team is like watching a dude who’s driven ford focus’ all his life being handed a Porsche and not knowing how to handle it. 😴😴😴 by far the most boring hockey I’ve watched since I tuned into the islander. Success or not this team was like watching crack on ice the last few years

28. 1st INTERMISSION KNEE JERK REACTIONS

    MCCABE : Handling the puck like a grenade
    TANEV : Stud
    OEL : Stud
    FOURTH LINE : Has the passion
    NYLANDER : Getting touches but not chances
    MARNER : MIA

29. 99.9% dumped into offensive end and not recovered by a Leaf player….

30. I love Holmbergs game (at times) but Willy should just be 2nd line centre bro. Domi-Nylander-McMann. Stop over thinking it and just do it holy fuck it’s October hockey who gives a fuck about defence just bank points now and let em figure out the defensive side of being a C as the season goes on.

    ALSO CRASH THE DAMN NET

31. Feels so weird to be doing really well defensively and then not having the best offensive time, feels like a switch up I’m not used to lol

32. Panel still refuse to talk about leafs ? Alright cool cool cool

33. Let’s continue to play dump and chase hockey, but don’t bother finishing a hit or forechecking to recover the puck. Very smart.

34. why do ppl keep mentioning Marners no trade clause? mf’s act like no player with a no trade clause has ever been traded before

35. They’re doing everything in their power to make sure not a single breath is spent discussing the Leafs wow

36. Matthews Marner and Nylander just aren’t dogs. Will never win with them. The problem has been clear as day for years.
