Qualifier Game 4: Leafs @ Blue Jackets - Aug. 7th, 8:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[herman]

Big let down by the big four.
Next PP just play the fourth line, they look alright.
I blame Mats for turning me into a Maple Leafs fan. I was a Pittsburgh fan initialilly. Imagine how much better I'd be off if I had just stuck with that.  :'(

Pittsburgh got bounced by Montreal today

 

[Guilt Trip]

And love Spezza for what he did. I hope he's back next year but I think hthis may be it for him.

 

[Chris]

I think it is clear that some sort of real change is required.  I wrote last night that as individuals I like a lot of these players.  As a group they just don?t work.  Dubas needs to acknowledge that this iteration doesn?t have it.

The team is too one-dimensional. When the puck luck is with them they look fantastic. But when they meet some adversity, they don't seem to have what it takes.

Haha, that' s true.
This season it wouldn't have made a difference but oh what lovely memories I would have.

 

[BrownRolo]

Like the logic behind paying top dollar for these "offensive superstars" is that they can break games open with their skill.

That is clearly bullcrap as they can not get a goal if their lives depended on it.

I don't care how many great saves the opposition goalie makes when you have 3 of the top 6 (?) highest paid forwards on your team they should be able to get some goals.

I'm not disappointed with Matthews. I think he's been our best forward by far. Marner and Nylander have been disappointing for me. 2nd playoffs in a row for subpar Marner.
Dubas will have to do some tweaking for sure.

 

[Sandinius]

Spezza! F'in Jason Spezza lifetime Sen. Once mocked by all Leafs fans. Cares more about this game than the rest of the "stars" on this team combined. Take Marner's money and give it to Spezza. Like Manner is over paid by 4 million a year at this point. Guy needs to be booed mercilessly by all Leaf fans. So greedy and now is trash/ ending angry drunk (but I'm not drunk) rant now

Amen!

If missing one defenceman (Muzzin) is the reason they lose the series, then Dubas needs to take a serious look at this roster construction.

I meant Sundin 

 

[ZBBM]

I've kept my mouth shut about this but Sandin should have played instead of Ceci or Barrie.  Sandin should have played all season.  He's a future mainstay on the second pairing at least.  Now they'll spend all next season giving him the experience he should have gotten this season.

Losing Muzz isn't the reason why they lost the last game. It didn't help but they were winning handily halfway through the last game. Wheels have fallen off.

 

[cujo4ever]

20 minutes left, only two goals down. Remember when Matthews scored four in one game? It can happen...

GO LEAFS GO!

Sandin is better then Marincin for sure. Ceci and Barrie will both be gone after this season.

I would like to remind everybody that the "Lock of the Week" has 52% accuracy.

 

[Chris]

Think Engval has looked good tonight.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Think Engval has looked good tonight.

Yup. He's a keeper. Goat is done as a Leaf. No need to resign him.

 

[ZBBM]

The Legion of the Invisible, Forward Division:
Hyman
Nylander
Kapanen
Kerfoot
Marner
Mikheyev
Robertson

Not that Tavares and Matthews have done anything.

 

[Sandinius]

Ceci with another SH?

 

[azzurri63]

Well everyone have a good remainder to the summer. Stay safe, stay healthy and see you in December.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

I didn?t even realize this game was happening tonight.
