That was likely the defining moment of this season...Me thinks Babcock wasn't the problem after all

 

Bab's had worn out his welcome. Tonight's game was an embarrassment for sure but I think the Leafs overthought things and put a lot of pressure on themselves thinking they had better not lose now when Ayres came in.

They looked absolutely terrible. Tripping over themselves, bad passes, give away's, etc. Night and day compare to Thursday nights game. All excuses aside, they need to get a hold of this and right it quick if they think they are going to make the playoffs and go anywhere. 

Babcock was not the problem.  Dumass is. 

I never liked Babcock and glad they got rid of him. With that said it won't matter which coach is steering the bus. It has a couple bad tierods and on trade day should get an alignment 

Good chance they won't make the playoffs, the CURSE is real - add in a league that is pretty even makes it harder

 

3 top 30 scorers

3 in the top 40 in points

Great but gets us nowhere

 

problem

only 2 players top 100 in shots on net - pathetic not enough pressure

Defense needs work

Goalies just taking a beating almost 50 shots tonight

 

WTF is it going to take to have a 10 year run in Toronto 

Dave gets $500 and the game Jersey for his play last night and a memory to never forget

glad it worked out for him.problem now is the laff management will ban him from driving a zamboni any where the laffs are on ice.notice I did not say playing they have not changed in over fifty years it is in the laffs dna  fucks can not play the game.but the fans still flock like lemmings to the ticket booth and merchandise sellers.why would they change

Toronto is a sinking ship right now

Unless something was in progress before the 3pm deadline, Toronto, a team that needs a lot of help, basically did a whole lot of nothing. Could be worse though, I guess, as they could have picked up another forward instead of a defense man, but I, and I assume most others, were expecting a lot more than this. 

Just this.  , “According to a report from Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal of TSN the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Maple Leafs are currently in talks regarding a potential trade that would see Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Tyson Barrie headed to Vancouver. Thus far we do not know what kind of return the Maple Leafs would be looking for here, but this may very well be an indication that Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas does not feel that his roster is ready to be a serious playoff contender this season. It is very unusual to see a team in Toronto's position selling off players ahead of a National Hockey League trade deadline, but Dhaliwal is an impeccable reporter and this would in fact appear to be a case of the Leafs selling ahead of the deadline“.

I think that the Dubas experiment should come to a close.  

To bad they let Hunter walk away.

The Maple Leafs have acquired forward Matt Lorito from New York in exchange for defenceman Jordan Schmaltz.

Maybe they can get a bag of pucks for Trudeau in bonus

Just as the Leafs are coming around, big win against Tampa and now no hockey

 

timing isn't good

Unless they conclude the season as of today and they restart in April. The Leafs would be in the playoffs. I had four platinum tickets for the game tonight. Canceled. Oh well

Can't conclude the season until the games played are even   I would think that is a must

most played so far is 71 least is 68 - going to be a nightmare to figure that out

 

 

PGA canceled event too

Yes I suppose. 

Who knows. This is a complete fuck up. I had 4 Platinum tickets and had no  worries about sitting with 16,000,000 fans tonight. And no worries about catching a cold. I worried more about seeing another Libtard. Now that would make me shit my pants....lol

NHL expects to resume season after pause for coronavirus

I'm sure many of you remember this one as well as it was a rare preseason scrap and it was one that led to a line brawl that saw just about every player on the ice getting involved including the goaltenders on both sides. Scott had been put out onto the ice to send a message after the Sabres took exception to some actions from the Leafs and Scott confirmed as much during his recent interview, laying the blame for the whole thing at the feet of former Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle.

 

 

"It was Randy Carlyle to be honest with you, he was the reason behind the whole thing," said Scott. "The shift before someone on Toronto Jamie Devane beat up one of my guys Corey Tropp so I was feeling I wanted a little retribution. So there was a lot of tough guys dressed and I went up to Toronto's bench and I said 'throw someone out and we're gonna fight and I'm gonna beat this guy's doors off' cause I was upset."

 

 

As you will see in the video below you can in fact see Scott skate over to the Maple Leafs bench and began yelling loudly at the players on that benchm, actions that would appear to backup his version of events here. Scott goes on to say that he and Carlyle were yelling back and forth going through the names of players he could put on to potentially face him.

 

 

"I'm just staring at the bench and I'm hoping somebody jumps over so I can take care of business. I told my line 'I'm gonna jump somebody I don't know who it is' and he throws out Kessel and... 'I just say I'm doing it.'

 

 

Scott blames Carlyle for not putting out a player to answer the bell for the Leafs transgressions, a sentiment that many old school hockey types would likely agree with.

 

 

"It all lands on Carlyle. If he would have thrown out a tough guy it would have been done and there would have been nothing more to it. He threw out Kessel and I called his bluff and away we went."
