Qu’est-ce qui tourmente la première ligne des Maple Leafs ? -SurDrive



Bryan Hayes et Frankie Corrado sont rejoints par Mike Johnson, analyste de TSN Hockey, pour discuter du jeu terne de la première ligne des Maple Leafs et du fait qu’ils ne prennent pas en charge les matchs comme ils le faisaient normalement dans le passé.

  1. Theres an entire season for the first line to get back to the type of hockey we all know they are capable of. Its tough because you cant handle watching the team loose but at the same time the only way this team has a chance to win ion playoffs is if they have to fight their way into the post season. I think leafs nation has to have trust in the skill of the guys…I think the D and goaltending needs to be addressed but the forwards are skilled. Patience is impossible but we have to have it with this team and I myself will only believe we can win if we land in a wildcard spot after having to work for it.

  2. When 34 and 16 are good, they're GREAT. But when one's off, its like the other decides "oh I'll just suck too so we can both be terrible together"

    Never any real consequence bc Keefe doesn't have the guts to break them up. Saw it in the documentary couple years back where they were being caved in by MTL all series, yet Keefe didn't do anything with the season on the line.

  3. All the money and pressure is on only a few players……need the wealth spread around a bit more. Ie…some better defensive d-men.

  4. Marner is not in form, hasnt been all season. So put someone on the top line that is. You need players that are going, to play against the oppositions best. And so far, Marner isnt it.

  5. Only what 221 games left in the season? You expect players to care every game? Especially star players have really no motivation to play hard the whole season.

  6. marner is a talent but needs to get his head right. needs to go to fluerys sport physiologist get his mindset fixed

  7. I think Hockey is just a funny game. I’ve played for years albeit at a very low level. Some nights you go out and it seems like everything just works and other games it feels like you can’t do anything right. Maybe this happens in higher leagues as well?

  8. Leafs stacked with over paid fluff players who play well enough in the regular season ( but not last night) .

    Leafs again losing battles for the puck along the boards, they always have difficulty playing physical teams.

    With the defense the leafs have (which is terrible), they may be hard pressed to make a wild card spot.

  9. "His 2 4 point nights skew the numbers"…. Literally true for every player in the league… Matthews got 2 hattricks to start the season, without those he only has 8 goals!…

  10. You would think the first line of Marner, Matthews and Bertuzzi would light up the game each night.

  11. I thought with Craig Conroy being Brad Treliving’s Assistant GM in Calgary that the two of them would have conducted at least one trade by now!

    Calgary needs goal scoring as Huberdeau is a bust and Toronto requires defensive minded defenders such as Zadorov, Tanev and Hanifin.

    Trade William Nylander to his birth city Calgary plus McCabe in exchange for Zadorov, Tanev and Hanifin!

  12. No team has ever gone 82-0, no matter how 'good' they were. What grates on me, is the Leafs outplay Chicago initially, going up 3-1 despite allowing a very weak goal by Samsonov, but then they just seem to play a constant game of turnover in all zones, missing passes, trying one pass too many (about 10 examples there) & botching easy clear opportunities in the D-zone, allowing Chicago more O-zone time than they deserved. Same old story, instead of putting the inferior opponent away, they let let them hang about, gaining confidence & you piss away 2 points. A truly sloppy, turnover laden game by virtually all of the Leafs.

  13. nothing wrong with the top line, they are just being checked! That's what wrong wit them in the play offs.

  14. very simple. they have NO HEART OR DRIVE. they got the bag and have checked out. they like the accolades for scoring nice goals but if you call out their shit play they force the coach to walk it back. they care more about their clothes and likes on instagram. why would they put in the effort when they already got he bag.

  15. The Canadian media and every talking "mush" head are so desperate for a Canadian cup , you picked the Leafs to run thru the season and win the Cup in three games. No pressure there!

  16. Which is why they should be signing production contracts, with a base of $5 million to start and for every point they put on the board, they get rewarded, with more dollars per goal and assist, more money for offence and defensive plays, more money for powerplay points and penalty kills!!!

    With deductions for costing goals, penalties and team loses, you will see these players starting to play, as if their lives are on the line!!!

    That way everyone has a chance to make more money, ever time they step onto the ice and more money for the goalies making the saves and winning the games!!!

    Then the management will see who is earning their money and who is costing them more money, then they are worth!!!

    Lets face it, the blue collar workers gets more pay for overtime, bonuses if they save the company money or get FIRED!!!

    This would also help the team, with these overloaded contracts, for lack lustre play on the ice and show who are playing or not, while helping to manage the salary cap!!!

  17. These players have to stop having SEX the night before a game, save it for after the games and stop jerking off, in the shower or bending over for the soap, prior to the game!!!

    SEX KILLS your knees and they are being paid to play hockey, not wasting time on the bench waiting, for someone else to save them, for their poor play!!!

  18. It looks like they wont' play for their coach anymore. Marner and Matthews are more of a liability than an asset. They are on for more goals than they score.

  19. Matthews and Marner never went well together. Mathews Hyman Nylander was the best top line the Leafs have had
