As soon as that #12 dropped, the org should’ve shifted. - 34 & 88 traded, target young D/C - rebuild D/F’s around McKenna/Cowan/Knies - do NOT sign Bob - NEW culture/start Instead kept trying to draw water from the 34/88 well & it’s been dry since 2020. Time was up. Long ago.

Gang. McKenna is not the answer yet. He just isn’t. He is awful along the boards. Awful. He never wins puck battles. Ever. He makes really dumb decisions at times. Dumb. Look, I get it, he’s learning. But there are major issues. This isn’t all on Jim. Sorry. Its the truth.

34 & 88 just don’t hate to lose like McDavid and MacKinnon do. And that’s always been the case.

It’s depressing watching this flawed team cling to a time that’s long gone while ownership refuses to rebuild. Yes, I know we don’t have our own first round picks, but there are other ways to acquire young talent. Prolonging the inevitable only hurts us more

Incredible that 88 actually got promoted. Doesn't matter if he scores, he doesn't deserve it.

Dakota Joshua isn’t even an NHLer. Bury this guy in the A and save 3-400K. Brisson should’ve been in his spot tonight. Utterly useless, waste of roster spot. Can’t believe he was out there w/under 5 mins left.

You can have ‘99 Hasek back there if you’re gunna consistently have bad turnovers and Dzone mistakes it’s not going to matter.

They’ve had a ton of chances to score in this game. 2-on-1’s, breakaways, PP’s… yet it’s tied. This is a big one. If they can get this W maybe they can string something together. If they lose again it’s going to be crushing after all the opportunities.

Most entertaining game of the season so far, and it’s all because of some physicality and fireworks. Fans have been starving for consistent physicality since 2013.

What are you supposed to do when a guy cuts to the net like that, just let him power in and score? That wasn’t crossc-checking.

OEL just painfully slow there, that was ugly. They gotta find a way to get rid of this guy. Joshua too, he’s utterly useless.

Speaking of the Leafs most consistent player in Roslovic, that beauty pass there to 34 was from their 2nd most consistent guy in MacEwan.

That's how it has been for weeks now for the Leafs - not a bad period by any means (they had 2 breakaways, drew 3 PPs, and the refs even called 2 of them!), but they just gift teams free goals. That's absolutely awful from Stecher, who had time and space to do anything else.

Beautiful lol. Waste 2 PP’s then hand them a goal in a silver platter. This team such a JOKE

One very bright spot consistent from game 1-20 has been Jack Roslovic. He’s been way better than I think anyone expected. Legitimately fits with Matthews on L1. Definitely not Domi-like as many (including me) labelled him in the summer. Hopefully he keeps it up.

The #leafs are in a bad spot and the first thing they need to do is resolve the tagging issue they created for themselves. If that means dumping a guy who makes a few million bucks for nothing or next to it, then that’s what it means. Start with Joshua then move on as needed.

I particularly like this one. Cap works. Leafs get a young C who hasn’t cracked the bigs yet, but looks primed to be top-6 material. Only 19yo. Also get a T4 D, even if he’s a 2nd pair guy. + a 1st next June. CAR gets a 1RW in his prime. & Willy might waive to go to SC champs.

Couldn’t have none of this on the Leafs. Not allowed
My favorite development from that Florida game. The kid isn't scared of Matt. He's got a set on him and knows a fake tough guy when he sees one.
