if you watched the post game you are a better man than me. I had the TV shut off before the puck crossed the line.

I’m trying to find some joy in my life. Being a Leaf fan won’t let me.

We're all thinking of you buddy. Hang in there.

It's amazing with all the firepower the Leafs have and they couldn't generate a chance in overtime. 

I don't care what anyone says, the Leafs have no business in the playoffs.  They belong with the bottom feeders, but they don't even match up with them.

I hate to say it but missing the playoffs might be a way BT can get out of this cap jam. Trade off all your free agents for picks/ prospects to re stick the cupboards and free up cap room. I bet a playoff team would give up a first for Nylander just as a rental, then BT could try and sign him in the off season.
Why tf do they send Samsonov to speak to media? As if he needs more questions about how f**king awful he is.

I'm with you guys but I'll go one step further, missing the playoff's would be the best thing that could happen to this team. It would force the leaf's management to realise this is a poorly constructed team. It would force them to make the necessary changes we can all see need to be made, starting with the so call call leadership group ( aka the core 4). If this team was a serious contender the leadership group would grab the rest of the team by their collective scruffs and drag them kicking and screaming intill they had won the game

I’m with everybody here.  I’m pissed off and disgusted.  Sammy is shot and our defense sucks.  We as fans deserve better than this.  

[kazzie]

I just watched Keefe’s press conference after the game.  He said that they played a good game and just made mistakes at critical times.  Isn’t that what happens in most nhl games?  He said that if they play that game 100 times they win 99 of them.  I’m so sick if his BS company lines.  Look in the mirror Sheldon.  What you are doing isn’t working.

It’s just too bad, the way things work out sometimes.

Yeah you think things are going along smoothly and then it hits you...da*n.

Apparently Somsonov was so despondent following the game he threw himself in front of a moving train but fortunately it went right through his legs.

[Gerard]

Was anybody else out for the post game? It seems the big guns hide away. Then, again, the only offer copy/paste answers. Zero leadership.

[TMan]

Mitch, Auston and Mo and Sammy spoke after game. IMO it does Sammy zero good to speak to the media after a game as awful as that. And of course the same generic answers from the rest of them. They all claim to have a tight room but that doesn’t seem to translate into the ice. They are consistent in one area and that’s providing disappointment.

As much as I hate the Bruins this would never happen with them. Guys would be grabbed by the throat in the locker or on the bench. Im jealous.

Has much as I hate this idea I think the leafs don't have much choice but to bring Dennis Hildeby up from the Marlies. Then just manage his minutes, a well chosen game here and there to allow Jones to rest. Woll will be back hopefully sometime mid February. I say bring up Dennis Hildeby mainly because the other NHL teams know the leafs are in a tough spot and will charge an arm and a leg to trade for a goalie and the leafs can not aford to move any more resources

Another tie game. The killer instinct is a bit lacking still. Letting Columbus have so much time with the puck in the 3rd was odd.
