Pathetic effort tonight. For this group to lose to Detroit… Absolutely inexcusable!
I could score 40 playing with Marner. 34 and 88 look lost. I predicted before the season that this would be 34's worst season and so far so good. Making him captain was maybe one of the dumbest moves they've made.
Worthless effort, Timmons is absolutely useless as is our bottom 6. Domi should start fighting so he could be at least bare minimum be as useful as his dad
The leafs beat themselves. They made many positional mistakes. They could have prevented 2 goals, thus negating the empty netter by winning in regulation, with better positional discipline. It looked like a keystone cops episode of bumbling police stumbling over each other defensively.
I really hate to say it, but the team has not looked the same since Matthews has returned. And when I say that, it's more of indictment on the other 17 skaters and the coaching staff. The return of one guy (who's also the teams best goal scorer) should not negatively impact the whole team like this.
Getting behind in the first period equals a loss most times. Team is slumping due to all the players coming back from injuries. Let shake off the cob webs and do better playing Buffalo.
Not good enough! Stop with the bullshit pc answers
There's an offense problem in Toronto. I'm not sure what the problem is because they're getting their chances but they're just not finishing. Right now, the top lines are good for 2-3 goals per game with virtually nothing being contributed by the bottom six. They've helped with a total of nine goals in 30 games, a third of that scored by Lorentz and another two by the rookie Minten. That means there's only four other goals by the bottom six and only two players, Holmberg and Robertson, can take credit. The Leafs have 12 goals in their past six all scored by the top two lines. the bottom six has contributed only two goals so far in December. This team is being propped up by the super goaltending tandem and something has got to change if the Leafs are serious about contending for the Cup.
Score some GOALS!! You will not win with 2 gpg just brutal. 6-7 games now….
Same old same old Leafs.
Why is it so hard to SAY I NEED TO BE BETTer lol
tanev should be captain
Rielly is playing too much, he's overrated. Played crappy again, he sucks in his D zone no matter who his partner is. He will confuse his D partner switching sides at his will. Rielly is not a top 2 defender, he should not play the power play!
No playoffs this year
It was Detroit😮What is it with Toronto vs Detroit?Let's take Buffalo❤
Another game where we had bad reaponse shifts, we would tie the game up and then piss it away, Matthews ties it 1-1 then with 17 seconds to go in 2nd he turns it over and Kane feeds Copp who finds Seider wide open in the high slot and Woll had no chance on….then Knies tipping it in front to tie it up again and then Benoit pinching down and creating a 2 on 1 for Petry to score again to regain the lead like WTF guys..If they didn't collapse defensively right after the goal we'd be in OT with a point at least it's drives me crazy how that's a shift they have right after a huge goal time and time again it's inexcusable just hand momentum back on a silver plater like they don't want it…same thing with Anaheim the other night kept letting them back in..although tonight the Leafs had no urgency to take the lead at all or prevent Detroit from taking the lead again…
Make changes Benny getting beat minten is not doing much. Insert robertson, reavo,myers. Too much pressure on the top line to produce need more scoring from otger lines and D.
McMann looked good getting his chances in his return defense Tanev, Timmins and OEL were active in down low, the 4th line was eating up clock in the Wings zone like no tomorrow and getting chances, but the offense from the bottom 6 has completely dried up as well. I've have started becoming a huge fan of Dewar on the PK and fourth line since his return, he's a speedy pest who can forecheck very well disrupt plays he's a hell of a lot better than Holmberg. I can't wait for Kampf to return to take faceoffs in the D-zone and be back on the PK again so we can take him out Dewar-Kampf-Lorentz/Reaves is my line
still ZEEEEEEERO goals …. MATTHEWS-MARNER ….. 5 on 5 ….. since the Nashville game (with a direct assist to each other)
THIS IS …. UNACCEPTABLE !!! ….. $ 25 MILLION on the ice ….. they make 1 nice play, every 5-10 Games
how is the terrified TORONTO media not taking about this ???? …. THEM MUST BE SPLIT UP
MARNER was on FIRE with TAVARES …… no goal with direct assists since NASHVILLE …. SPLIT THEM UP
This team may look better defensively under Berube but man their offense has dried up which should be concerning considering its been their biggest strength since 2016
Marner has been impressing me almost every game, win or lose.
It's impossible to miss the effort and determination he brings, and most of our best results have his fingerprints on them somewhere.
That's the only positive thing I have to say right now.
Game in a nutshell. Matthews unawareness of staying onside, mental lapse in last 30 secs of 2nd. Poor defence on 3rd goal while not protecting the middle. General lack of compete. Unacceptable excuses.
Jeff Petry owns you 🤣🤣🤣
Please Chief…
Knies-Matthews-Domi
Patches-Tavares-Marner
McMann-Minton-Nylander
Could swap Patches & McMann or Patches & Holmberg for some load management.
Marner has been great as well, putting some more effort into his game. He’s really impressed me again this season.. anyway score some goals like seriously… game tmw.
Matthews cost us ANOTHER game. We play and look better without Matthews.
Stop fiddling around along the boards and start funneling pucks to the net. Bunch of perimeter merchants out there.
Close game, Leafs could have, should have won, 2 mistakes 2 Red wings goal, that’s hockey, that’s life Move on, next game.
