@Maple Leafs de Toronto

We're gonna get eaten alive by Tampa
Tampa's finally ripe for the picking and Toronto still figuring out who they are. Smh
Leafs are just not a dominant team … only in flashes.
Cup winning teams are always well balanced.
Another 1st round exit coming up. Matthews is gone next yr.
The Toronto Make Me Laughs … #1967forLife
Toronto would be fine if they were not paying such ridiculous money out to the top 4. Add to the problem, none of the top 4 have any grit and you can kiss the playoffs goodbye. Same team as last year and year before. Same first round exit.
Toronto is fast and can score when other teams play their style game..you start adding the physical and hard hitting aspect of the game, the leafs fall apart…its like a team of pretty boys that dont want to chip a nail, skilled but no heart and wont/cant throw down
What does changing a third of the roster do to the locker room?
No grit. Cannot win without grit.
Yes.
Horrible goaltending, terrible back checking
This is their identity, Isles 7 Leafs 2
Don’t really know why there changing lines so much, I get there trying to find something that clicks but u can’t expect players to click in a few games and then switch them again, with 10 games to go keefe should have a good idea of who plays well so he’s just got keep them together for the last 10 games and let them build chemistry can’t go into playoffs without lines that are set in stone or lines that are built 2 games before playoffs
Leafs SUCK! FOOOOORRRREEEEEE!
Leafs have their identity. They play when they want and no accountability or punishment for poor play! They are starting to get their long faces already for playoffs!
Toronto talking heads needs to be better. Check out winning teams and their news media. Kyper has CTE and Bourne is 🍻
Rule number 1
Don't Panic.
Top 5 team, yet we're complainin
Gritty? 52 got pummeled last night 😂
Leafs are a cross between Babcock & Burke & Dubas – with a current Coach who plays 7 D – men and 11 forwards because in past playoffs & recently – a winning Leaf playoff line up is not known – so the continued lineup changes are the Leaf Identity. It is funny for those who enjoy humour. Bruins & Tampa fans are the best qualified to define the true Leaf identity.
U mean the Maple Laughs????
Leafs playing like a 1st round exit is coming .
Yes.
As much as I love the buds, after that embarrassing loss to the Isles seems like the Leafs are still looking for their identity.
I wish them the best of luck the rest of the season and the playoffs but I want to see 2 things:
Everyone step up a notch or 2 and consistency.
Kypreos is still looking for an identity. Thankfully he lives in Canada where he can just say he's a girl.
The problem is 5 on 5 play. Do you guys follow anilitics?
Holl needs to be sat permanently, lines need to be figured out and stop juggling every shift
Toronto MakeBeliefs
Toronto has to many legit Veteran and Youth Leaders….they are stuck in an Identity Vortex…….they need to move a few valuable vanilla players like Tavares and Marner to allow the Youth movement to take over completely like the Oilers did. I would market those 2 players+ next year for a legit in his Prime Goalie and a D-man like Larsson. Mathews and Marner are like Hall and Ebbs were they need to be separated to really mature and grow up.I think the Leafs are a Gritty- Identity and 5-6 Players away from being a legitimate SC threat….even Edmonton got nasty and snarly like Boston to elevate to the top echelon of NHL Playoff teams. Gritty is another word for tough/dirty/can back it up…. and Toronto is simply not gritty enough. The top 5 NHL Teams are built differently however ALL ARE GRITTY. I just feel that a Team can only support a specific % of the Strong Silent NON-Retaliatory turn the other cheek types before it becomes a Vanilla Team lacking a winning Identity…..I move Mitch Marner ASAP because of the unsetteling selfish "woke" impacts he inevitably brings with him like baggage….to reset the entire Organizations mindset…blow it all up and.bring in a real GM who knows how to build a Championship Identity around Mathews now before he leaves.
Guys, the leafs problems is from the coaching. They never can adapt and make in game changes. I have no confidence in Keefe. I just think he is a minor league coach.
Another first round exit heading the Leafs' way fast!
Leafs Nation is hillarious today. This fan base over reacts over a nothing game
Your additions should be adapting to your core….not the other way around. Every player boston got for example you can say "that guy plays bruins hockey."
No the leafs are not looking for identity….Its called getting the pieces to fit the puzzle to make the picture. Why you you wanna show your hand now when you can show it in game one vs Tampa? What does the Toronto media want? Toronto to win the last 12 in a row.???O'Reilly is coming back and Knies is 100% coming up. Knies NHL comparable is Chris Kreider and I'll take that on a run past round one in the playoffs. Relax man stop being so uptight…Just BELEAF….GO LEAFS GO!!!!
What nonsense. Identity never won a hockey game. The identity of any Team is based on the guys on it!!! The Team got absolutely spanked by the Islanders. "At the end of the day" you got to leave it on the ice…key people don't.
Keefe is clearly the problem. He STILL can’t figure out the lineup. The players are clearly tired of the constant shuffling and their inconsistent poor play is proof of that. This is all headed towards another playoff failure.
As a leafs fan, all I can say is that they dont have it. They don't have the compete to be a playoff teams.
Soft as butter they are and have weak character.
I’ve been saying this for years, the leafs will never win a Stanley cup when the majority of lineup don’t finish checks, with the speed the leafs have, finishing body checks shouldn’t be a problem. When the opportune time for a body check, they rather go for a poke check instead. Playoff hockey is all about finishing your checks.
Leafs are worse than they were last year at this time .. Goaltending, Defence and bottom 6 players are all worse than last year and tthey will lose in 4 or 5 games to Tampa!!!! Dubas and Keefe will be unemployed in about a month!! Shanahan should be fired as well!!
Dude, who cares. It's just playoff time now. Don't care about home ice advantage, it hasn't helped us before. Stop bitching
YUP!
They have a great team, BUT, they still have flaws
I'd be more worried about why people identify as fans of this team.
no, they have an identity. they are a team of very skilled guys who crumble in the first round of the playoffs.
Bowness talking about PLD,Scheifele, Connor isn't good
Bad enough scheifele,Dubois,maybe hellebuyck will be moved don't want Connor to want out next. Then might as well start major rebuild everyone avaliable.
Leafs added some slow, bottom six forwards, and 7th and 8th defenseman, and they think they’ve improved?Can’t make this up.
they have been for about 7 years
