Thoughts on Allen vs Binnington? Good chance the former will still get his job back if Binnington falters, I guess?

 

[Marvie]

Kane!


Yep, we're not tanking anymore. :(

 

[Clockblockers]

even our tank game sucks

 

[Marvie]

Toews with the empty netter

 

[Marvie]

Avs, Canucks, Wild, and Blues need to get their asses going. Hawks are way too close to a playoff spot.

 

[Reven]

Good job Marchy! Bruins win!

 

[ChrisR]

Can't even fucking tank properly

 

[zroid]

I didn't know he had no experience....

I wonder if the owners are just being too cheap to hire an interim coach

 

[Heretic]

I hope the Ducks get Hughes

<3

The goal is to evaluate the team "from the trenches." They didn't want to put an interim in the position the Ducks are currently in. A losing one. Management is for having Bob behind the bench.

Tbh, it makes sense. It almost seems like that they wanted to keep Carlyle for the rest of the season just so they could ride out the shit season but it just got the point where they could no longer keep the pressure under control.

Season Ticket renewals having been going out these past couple of weeks. Rumor has it many weren't renewing if Randy was still behind the bench.

wow that was a tirefire in our zone

 

[MetatronM]

 

[Abylim]

We can turn it around yet. But willllll weee?

 

[DopeyFish]

.... how did the leafs not score on that pp

 

[Abylim]

That was a beauty by Kappy. Glad he finally got one

 

[DopeyFish]

i just noticed the shots are 18-4

it's only half way through the first wtf

 

[Red_]

As much as I'd love a Leafs - Habs first round, I don't see us finishing ahead of the Bruins unfortunately. Saturday was a great game, I knew once it went to OT it was over, Habs have no answer for Marner, JT, Matthews, etc on 3 on 3.

Red and I may end up as sworn enemies if the Leafs and Habs play a playoff series.

Not even that could separate us

 

[TheBeardedOne]

So the shots were 21-5 Leafs at one point that period, yet it was 2-1 for the Rangers. Sparkles is in net, though, so that's a contributor. It was almost 3-1 due to him losing sight of the puck.

I love how we have a real NHL caliber backup.

 

[MetatronM]

Shots ended up 21-13 by the end of the period, somehow.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Flashes of Lundqvist on screen 😍

 

[Merguson]

The Leafs powerplay is 💩

 

[DopeyFish]

one day we'll score

one day

Yeah they already know who the next coach is going to be, and that job is going to Dallas Eakins. They don't want to pull him out of San Diego as they are doing pretty well there and if he came up and started winning that will go against their tanking strategy.

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

2 goals on 49 shots against the Rangers backup, wts

Edit - 1 goal, 1 stinking goal

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Fuck :/

 

[MetatronM]

2 goals on 49 shots against the Rangers backup, wts

What if I told you it's only 1 goal?

 

[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

What if I told you it's only 1 goal?

Hahaha, I don't know how that happened

 

[dr.rocktopus]

What if I told you it's only 1 goal?

I would say you have a good back up and/or the Leafs are shit

 

[Heretic]

Cake Bae knows what's up

 

[MetatronM]

Considering the ridiculous number of shots, that game mostly felt pretty comfortable and well in hand. Outside of some of their power plays, felt like the Leafs really only had a handful of truly dangerous chances despite throwing a barrage at the net. We did an alright job of maintaining structure and making saves easier for Georgiev.

Regardless, the 55 saves for Georgiev are second to only Mike Richter in franchise history (whose high was 59).

 

[zroid]

it's Georgiev's birthday?

 

[zroid]

Sparks not good enough to be a backup though

*spongebob meme*

 

[John Frost]

Muzzin the GOAT.

I've been out of the loop, so I can only offer a pure opinion unsullied by observation or evidence. But I bet they make Allen #1 again, usual vet/experience reasoning.

 

[TheBeardedOne]

Fell asleep before the third period started, which I regret. Woke up to see the highlight of Sparks' third allowed goal. Yikes.

 

[Moose]

3 on 3 hockey is complete trash and I’m not just saying that because the trash Avs are 0-12 in OT this year.

how can they be THAT awful? they have 96&29....

 

[Abylim]

Yeah that was a frustrating game. Seemed like Leafs had some good chances but they didn’t go in. Reminiscent of the first Tampa game actually.

Sparks looked good for the most part imo

[Cake Boss]

Waiting for the shit show week to start.

 

[Quick]

Waiting for Matthews to get traded.

 

[MetatronM]

This team is really good at celebrating pyrrhic victories. "We pretty much got historically annihilated last night!"

 

[Marvie]

Really happy about this. :D

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Waiting for Nylander and Matthews to get reunited.
