LOL Respect to Chara last night , taking on Matt Martin , 42 yrs old and that guy is an oak tree .. Bruins will be a beast again in the playoffs .... at this point i'm questioning the Dubas and Babcock relationship as pointed out by McLean and Kypreos as the culprit to their woes ... Leafs have gotten rid of all their toughness, supposedly for skill and speed ? Time for them to show us if they have it when they play Boston in the playoffs or back to the drawing board this summer ... Edited March 20, 2019 by Jds63
jimmer Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) This life long leaf fan isn't looking forward to them playing the Bruins, they are firing on all cylinders. It's the Ballard curse still hanging over them. LOL The Leafs speed might be able to overcome the Bruins if the officiating didn't change in the playoffs. Unfortunately, I am afraid the Leafs will be ground into the ice/boards. The Bruins players are licking the chops waiting for the first round, while the Leafs aren't so sure. Who knows in hockey though. Bring back pyramid power! Edited March 20, 2019 by jimmer 1
Squid Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 I believe that there is jealousy in the dressing room. Nylander put himself above the team and now the lower paid players are saying to earn your pay Nylander pay and they are riding his coat tails. Dubas should have let Nylander sit for the entire year so that Nylander understands what team play is all about.
BillM Posted March 20, 2019 Report Posted March 20, 2019 I guess we'll find that out in a few hours, lol! Buffalo always plays the Leafs hard.
chris.brock Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 I lost respect for Sparks saying what he said. He hasn't been around long enough and his play has been garbage so he has no right to call out his team. How long will they keep playing him? flushing points down the toilet
moxie Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 There it is!!!! What are they waiting for?!?!?! Call the engraver already!!!!
Acountdeleted Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Sparks looked like a backup last night. Which, all things considered, is a compliment. He made a couple of big saves, the goals that went in there wasn't much he could do and he gave them a chance to win. Really, that is all you can ask for. The last 2 games Matthews looks like he is playing with a chip on his shoulder. It looks like he was out to make a statement and was really dominant whenever he had the puck on his stick. I hope he can keep this up come playoff time. We are gonna need it. Also they polled the NHL players on a couple of different categories and posted the results in between intermission last night. 'The player you would most want to rebuild a franchise with: Connor McDavid' ............. Did someone forget to tell Edmonton this fact?
G.mech Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 I don't really get how people want to hang this slump on the goaltenders especially Sparks. He's maybe not a star but he is .500 as a backup and in the last 6 games has a way better save percentage than super Freddie. (11 goals on 114 shots vs 16 goals on 77 shots).
BillM Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Let's not forget that Gardiner and Dermott are out. D makes a HUGE difference in a game. Goal scorers are great, but they aren't D men.
Headhunter Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Let's also not forget the Sparks has played the 2nd game of back to backs most of the season. Those aren't easy starts, with the team coming in tired. HH
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Posted March 21, 2019 Leafs signed Petan to a 2 year extension. Decent deal too.
misfish Posted March 21, 2019 Report Posted March 21, 2019 Dought we will be seeing any of this kind of action,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Rosehill did great but there's another camera angle, after throwing punches for a long time, they come apart and you can see the fear in Rosehill's eyes as if he's asking "how long is this going to go on, where's the refs?"

Jds63 Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 gotta love that hockey !!!! did you see Schenn clearing guys out in front of the net , not taking any Bull !!! geeze I wish we had a defencemen like that no matter what you say ... fights like that is what can change the whole confidence of a team >>>>
Acountdeleted Posted March 22, 2019 Report Posted March 22, 2019 Oh good. Melnyk made the news and so did the Oilers. Squid and Moxie will be happy we have something to talk about other then the leafs. Where shall we begin?

AKRISONER Posted March 23, 2019 Report Posted March 23, 2019 Funny, you old guys want the leafs to be the 2010 leafs again. i cannot friggin wait for Toronto to beat Boston, then everyone can shut up once and for all. Maybe then people will appreciate the fact that for the first time since 1992 the leafs have a really good team again.

They have not got a guy on the bench that the other teams will think twice about taking cheap shots.
