L’analyste de TSN Hockey, Martin Biron, se joint à That’s Hockey pour discuter de la bonne décision d’aller avec Ilya Samsonov pour un deuxième match consécutif, qui est l’homme étrange dans le filet des Leafs lorsque Joseph Woll revient, et si Toronto doit être prêt à obtenez une production incohérente de la part du capitaine John Tavares qui vieillit.

Mate they’ve had a Taveres problem ever since they signed him.
No, what we have is a media micro analysis problem
They don't have a Tavares problem, they have a defensive coverage problem
Only for one more year
The Leafs never needed John Tavares. What they needed then is exactly the same thing that they need now. Defense , until they fix the back end they wont make it past the 1st round of the playoffs.
They had a problem when they signed that massive contract.
They have a cap problem, Taveres salary problem, will never win with this group
Trade JT to a Sunbelt team. I'm sure his wife would enjoy a sunny retirement.
Sammi sammi
Leafs could move Tavares if he agrees to it by eating half his salary. they could then go spend that 5.5 to 6 mil elsewhere.
Tavares is overpaid hes old and slow hes never had darren helm/cale mckar type speed and him getting older wont make him any faster
jt too slow age is showing now just a liability on ice should buy him next year,he is getting slower
Weve had a jonny t problem for the last 3 years, glad everyone is finally waking up
Not sure what is going on with JT but his play has dropped off exponentially the past few weeks.
I also noticed teams are working him over time and time again and no one is stepping in to defend their captain.
Not sure about you, but if I am going into battle, I am going to test the resolve of the opponent by going after their leader and seeing where the chips fall.
Judging from the lack of response to the beatings JT is taking game after game, I would say this strategy employed by teams is working in the favor of the Leafs opponents.
No
Tavares is the most spineless captain I have ever seen.
Love Marty Biron😄🇨🇦
Samsonov needs to stop pucks 🇨🇦😁
Woll is still unproven 😄🇨🇦
Taveras is no concern😄🇨🇦
Problem with John Tavares how he is the chosen one, his childhood dream was to be a Maple Leafs he still has his Maple Leaf pajamas and baby blanket, Toronto fans are living the dream sign him for 7-8 million a season and live the dream 🎉
They had this problem from day one
I said it from day 1 in 2017. We don't need Tavares and his contract. We had Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Kadri, Rielly, Kapanen, Brown, Hyman, and Andreas Johnson for our core future….why pay $11 million per year for a 2nd line center? We were supposed to use that money to get Pesce or Slavin and easily have Danault for 2C for just 4-5 million (Danault one of the best shut down centers in the NHL at least at the time).
From the goalie to defence and forwards need to be fixed this team will not go anywhere they have no courage, grid for what it takes to win, I don’t understand why it’s talked about all the time go out get the players goalie that’s needed and maybe than we’ll see something different until than this team is a lost cause
Absolutely embarrassing what this team has become. How can their coach even face the media with this joke of a team. BENCH JT and pull the C off of him!!!
Wait wait make a "do the Leafs have a Nick Robertson problem?" video tomorrow. Then the next day make a "do the Leafs have a Hayley Wickenheiser problem?" . Then how about "Do the Leafs have a Steve Dangle problem?" video. My head is spinning form all the "the Leafs have a problem" videos. Take a break fellas you earned it.
The three Leaf player issues (about $25 Million) are 1) Reaves, 2) aged out JT (time for a buy out like Wheeler with Jets), and 2) Marner (he just has the wrong skills for this now declining Leaf team & Leaf playoff run disappointments in general).
Move these three Leafs this season & the Leafs likely make a big step up from just competing for a wildcard spot, as they do right now.😀
