So, what point does trading Rielly become an option for the brass to look at? He hasn't played well for a number of games, and it feels like it's less about who he's partnered with and more that he's been brutal and drags whoever he's partnered with down
I'm worried about Morgan. I like the player but he doesn't feel like he fits with the team this year. Everytime we manage to slot the D pairings into place to look competitive, he is always the odd one out.
Does this game show the difference between getting "goalied" and getting "out-goalied"? To me, this is the latter.
Elvis was good, but not epic. But Hildeby was not up to the task.
The leafs have been great offensively the last 4 games but it's not translating defensively with some bone headed mistakes. How do the coaches, coach that out of the players?
Berube wants them to be less risk averse, but to get offense you need to be a bit risky too so it's tricky
Hakanpaa knew not holding out and Reaves being Reaves. Why are we not sending them down to create cap or Try out some Marlies ie Rifai & Steeves maybe??
Are the Leafs being unfair to Hildeby by not calling up Murray instead? Not to blame Hildeby for the loss but if he isn't going to save the game anyway and people say he is still developing, should he be given more time?
1. Hildeby clearly isn't ready for the NHL
2. Rielly is becoming noticeably more of a problem
3. That early goalie pull was weird considering the evidence at hand, they aren't good with the Goalie pulled
There are young bucks who forget what Randy Carlyle hockey looks like... getting horribly outplayed, a goalie standing on his head, and JVR inevitably getting the game winner.
Dunno what a conversation accomplishes at this point. He's a 3rd/4th stringer who's very much not ready for the NHL. He's only here because we lost Stolarz for a quarter of the season and every now and then, Woll will need a break from pulling double duty for his injured partner.
Yeah I get that he’s the 3rd string rookie who shouldn’t be up but he’s looked erratic a little bit you expect but he’s got to make a save on one or two of them you’d hope. If it was Sammy last season we’d be ripping him apart obviously not an apples to apples comparison but both were very erratic
Same question as usual lol: How much longer are they going to keep doing this with Rielly? He’s now a -16 on a division-leading team that doesn’t have a single other player worse than a -5.
How is he still playing over 21 mins a game? He’s visibly hurting the team every time he s on the ice.
Today’s standings have Toronto playing Columbus in round 1 of the playoffs started today. Concerns if it becomes a reality? They have the leafs number.
There was a lot of talk on our side about CBJ guys from Ontario. But i couldn’t see if Fantilli’s moms hat made it to the ice when she tossed it. Did it make it?

But can we never play Hildy against COLUMBUS again?

I noticed you guys weren’t throwing the body until it was either too late or didn’t matter in a play. Is that a player problem or a coaching problem?

Then I checked the score…

Team has about six weeks before they just need to stay healthy so the playoff roster can start developing chemistry.
Do with this information what you will.
Marrone!
Follow up: Can you give him a scratch for me?

Bad game or just bad result?
4. They should never split up McCabe and Tanev ever again.
The Leaf definitely showed up tonight
The rest (with the exception of Reaves and OEL)
debatable
Marner: 4 sog
Nylander: 6 sog
Matthews: 6 sog
