Leafs @ Bruins - Dec. 8th, 7:00pm EST - CBC

[Zee]

Va fanculo Leafs

 

[L K]

Boston taking runs at guys away from the puck now good to see the refs are controlling the game

 

[Bates]

Bruins working like It's game 7, Leafs working like It's noon drop-in shinny.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

Good grief.  Let?s hope we dont see Boston in the playoffs again.  They simply disappear.

 

[lc9]

Leafs have to do whatever it takes not to play Boston is the playoffs.  We can?t skate with any other team, but the bruins own real estate in the leafs head.

Judging by this thread, it sounds like they live in yours.

Two crushing game 7 losses.  Dominated 5-1 few weeks back and getting manhandled tonight.  Nothing to do with me personally.

 

[Arn]

I'd actually stick Sparks in for the third period

 

[azzurri63]

Well can?t beat them last two games without some of their best players doesn?t bode well. Sound like a broken record but Dubas needs to address a couple areas on this team. Hopefully he will because team isn?t built to win in the playoffs. Keep making notes Mike that will help. Call a timeout and f?n let these guys have it.

 

[Damian]

Someone please tell me Gardiner is a $6m dman... I just don't see the love for this guy... I can't

 

[herman]

Hyman was held at the line with no call.

Make the case for any Leaf skater tonight.

Hyman was held at the line with no call.

I yelled at the tv.

What areas?  Better forwards?

 

[azzurri63]

I?d like to see Marchment get a call up. Take Ennis out and throw him in. We have too many similar players on this team. Smaller finesse type and that?s it. Add a bit of grit into this lineup it wouldn?t hurt.

 

[azzurri63]

Va fanculo Leafs

I agree

The leafs would be wise to let Gardiner walk or move him. He isn?t what we need. 

 

[dekedastardly]

Glad Willy signed though. They really needed another one-dimensional forward who vanishes when faced with adversity.

 

[princedpw]

Marner needs to shoot at the net one time.  He always passes no matter what.

He is actually tied for 42nd in shots on goal prior to this name.

It is a little early for this.

Said it a million times. Sorry for bringing it up but team lacks toughness. Can have the best forwards in the league but they can?t all play the same way. You need some grit. As much as I love this team I honestly don?t think it?s built for the playoffs. I know a lot of you think the game has changed and I?ll agree to some point but the game also chain the playoffs. Leafs get pushed around by some teams and results are usually not in our favor.

This poor game aside, Matthews and Nylander will be under enormous pressure to produce in April -- and it very well could be against a fully stocked BOS.
