This was their last good chance to pick up two points for a while. I can't see them winning any of the next three games. I don't think this team will make the playoffs and I don't think Treliving can do a thing about it.

Pure garbage. Really hard to watch a team full of prima Donna's, underachieving, selfish, overpaid bums.
We are going nowhere. If it takes not making the playoffs ( a real possibility) to blow things upso be it.
Keefe and Shanahan have to go in my eyes.
Nothing has or will change.
Two home games 2 losses. I'm done listening to any of them speak.
So frustrating this organization. Bunch of losers.
Glad they are going west. They can take beatings out there so I don't have to watch.

I'm done listening to any of them speak. So frustrating this organization. Bunch of losers. Glad they are going west. They can take beatings out there so I don't have to watch. I was thinking that this loss makes their record at 21-12-8. That means they have won 21 games and lost 20. They are barely a .500 team. They are what their record says they are. The loss was to a team that was on a back 2 back just like the Leafs but didn’t arrive at the rink until less than 2 hours before game time after just getting off an airplane. The perfect recipe for Leafs disaster and that is just what we got. I’m sick of listening to Keefe’s lame excuses and his 💩 coaching. He needs to go and he can take Shanahan with him. This team needs changes and quick. I’m beyond frustrated. I’m sick to my stomach. I’m with you Jim, I’m glad they are headed out west so I don’t have to watch either.

Except it wouldn't be the first time they went on west teetering on the brink of total disaster and they swept every game.

It will be a miracle if they win this. Sloppy af. Tavares looks like 💩. Yes, he is way too inconsistent for $11 million per season. He goes stretches where he’s winning 75% of face offs, then he can’t win one, especially on the PP. I think a change on the the 1st unit PP should be made. Try switching Domi or Holmberg in for Tavares? Tavares is starting to show signs of decline this year, I’ve seen to many games this year where I’ve barely noticed he’s even playing.

Between him, Bertuzzi and Brodie we’ve got $21 million tied up in a whole lot of nothing.

I think this JT decline is something that's been talked about for 2/3 years now but every year he comes in at or around a point per game. I haven't noticed any radical change in his play, he is and has been what he is.

I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan as well. Yesterday was just an all-around bad day for my sports teams.
Samsonov looked mostly decent in this game -- first time he's looked playable in the past couple of months.
This thing with Keefe shuffling the lines so randomly has really gotten old for me. It reeks of desperation, and shows that he really has no idea how to coach his way through this.

I think the line shuffling shows an acknowledgement of what happening, in the past Keefe would switch up the lines for a period and then back to the same old, same old. I think TO has shown that those same old were just that, the same old results. What has Keefe been, the winningest coach in NHL history, he's not a bad coach but like most coach/team scenarios the relationship has a life span that spoils over time. I like his experimenting, line changing, d pairing changing, will it work, I don't know but it has seemed obvious to me that trotting out the same old, same old....
It seemed to me that Mitch had a renewal last night, maybe that was because of the change in his linemates, Willie and Austin looked the same, ineffective but watching Holmberg punch above his class has been interesting. Domi was more involved, I even noticed Bert, Knies was invisible, probably hit the rookie wall, I think it's time that the less talented be given more responsibility for the wins and losses which probably will result in a greater team effort/success.

It was easy to see the difference in the lines last night but im far from believing it just yet. Lots of guys (temporarily) getting new life, etc. but those same guys are not gonna be the fate of this team. The big boys are still streaky and BT is gonna have to sell the farm at the deadline to fix the defence.

I don’t think Keefe is the problem but the inmates are running the asylum and I think Keefe knows it. God forbid you healthy scratch one of the multi millionaires, you can’t trade them, you can’t call them out in public because the core will just say f**k you and lay down. But Keefe will be the first shoe to drop right or wrong. I don’t know if Keefe blows his top in the room but on the outside he doesn’t appear to be a bad guy to play for. There could be a lot more hard ass coaches they could hire that would make the teams life a lot more miserable but that would only last for so long as well before the inmates got their way. This franchise might never get it right again.
