1. Fire Keefe. All I gotta say.

2. Fuck the shootout. Sammy deserved better.

3. Fuck the Bruins and FUCK MARCHAND

4. Sammy played great.

   Leafs still kinda stink and are still soft as shit.

5. Put me in coach, I’ll punch a rat

6. What a game, way too intense for game 10 of the season. Bummer we couldnt get the extra point

7. 🎶 It’s the circle of the Leafs 🎶

   Get bullied > Don’t retaliate to avoid taking a penalty > Inspire hope > Lose game anyway > They promise the playoffs will be different > Get bullied in the playoffs > Do nothing > Lose the war

   Without fail. Every year.

   Edit: Lol this coward below /u/Internal-Detail-8191 really replied then blocked me so I couldn’t respond. A true Leaf. You’d fit right in with our players.

   Here’s my response anyway

   Almost like I predicted it.

   You’ve been recycling the same this is our year shit for 5 years. But go off king and tell me more about what I should say to win your approval because that matters to me so much

8. Who cares about a shootout. Sammy was nice tonight.

   We killed a penalty in OT. That’s a W to me

9. Why are we even paying Ryan Reaves money? Who is stopping him from doing his job?

10. Such a soft team. Marchand not touched.

11. I am completely unimpressed with Bertuzzi.

12. Fuck the shootout

13. Ok game, terrible faceoffs.

14. Seems Leafs are trying to see if they can make Reaves play actual hockey. Lets end that experiment soon please

15. Same issues where top 6 was okay (not great) and bottom 6 was trash. Losing Lily hurts cause Klingberg looked lost out there.

    Leafs got lucky to get a point: https://moneypuck.com/g.htm?id=2023020145

16. What a coach Keefe is. No other coach out there is smart enough to play Kampf over 2 minutes in OT. And his line juggling, just incredible.

17. My favourite part of that game was our response when Marchand intentionally injured one of our defencemen. Probably shaking in his skates right now. I bet he is heading home crying.

18. Bruins are going to set another all time regular reason record aren’t they?

19. This team has no heart, Yes I am aware that its been said many times. but tonight was extra pathetic.

20. Ryan Reeves legit cant play lol

21. Sammy was good tonight but I’m still so jealous of the bruins goaltending.

22. Boston loses their top 2 centers and are still the best team in the league. Success comes so easy for some.

23. I’m so fucking sick of this team never responding to cheap shots.

24. call me crazy buuuut i don’t think this team is winning a cup

25. Leafs have no heart, not even sticking up for their own players. If a leaf slewfooted a bruin like that they would have been hammered…

26. #FireKeefe

27. Love the leafs, but I hate this teams culture.

28. So Boston beats us up once again. Marchand’s dirty play injures Llijegran and nobody does shit, same old soft Leaf team. Nothing changes.

29. We’re screwed on defence with Liljegren gone

30. This team is going nowhere with Keefe. Brad for the love of god hire a coach that meshes with the style of play you’re going for!

31. Idk how you see Marchand injure your teammate and just not do anything. Team is just too soft and I’m tired of relying on 1 guy to provide toughness.

32. We are turning into the oilers just with 3 guys instead of 2

    Where the fuck is the depth scoring

33. The p̶a̶s̶s̶i̶o̶n̶ pain that unites us all.

34. The result didn’t matter, what mattered is how the team was going to respond to the hit on Liljegren. And no one did a fucking thing to Marchand the rest of the game. If this team is not in a playoff spot after thanksgiving you have to fire Keefe and trade one of the core. Matthews and Marner are probably the most skilled Leafs I’ll see in my lifetime, but they are absolutely not leaders and it is evident the longer they are Leafs

35. So we overpay Reaves in both AAV and term so we can have the dirtiest player in the league and a divisional rival take an obvious cheap shot against our guy and nothing is done about it.

    What is the fucking point?

36. Honestly, the Bruins remain an elite team. Way she goes. Pretty entertaining game. On to the next one.

37. So, Gregor and Lagesson were our best UFA signings, right?

38. I haven’t really been on the fire Keefe bandwagon but how does Boston loose there first two centres and arguably get better. With the additions of Bertuzzi and Domi not gelling in, I mean don’t you have to look at the coach? There’s just no sync to this team we’re as other teams get nobody’s to hold down our good guys

39. What’s the point of Reaves???

40. There’s no soul. No passion. No drive. When a team has the magic, you just know. This team has weak chemistry. Even when they score and celebrate none of them seem genuinely happy.

    Also wtf, stand up for your friends!? What a bunch of pussies.

41. Gregor is the only, and I mean only, bottom 6 forward on this team who can actually play.

    The number of forwards on this team who are frankly useless is staggering.

    Kampf, Reaves, Domi, Bertuzzi, Holmberg and Jarnkrok have all been essentially useless players so far. That’s half the forward lineup contributing next to nothing. They don’t play with speed or energy, they aren’t particularly physical, they don’t produce offence, they don’t play well defensively, they don’t really fill any kind of specialist role. They literally go out every night and skate around for a few minutes. Get some cardio in. That’s it.

    Gregor at minimum can skate really fast, and actually seems to have the instincts to use that speed to generate SOME offensive opportunities. It is such a low bar and even he barely clears it.

    It doesn’t matter who the coach is, or how you jumble up the lines, there are simply not enough quality NHL forwards on this roster to put together anything other than a mediocre lineup carried by 4 guys.

    Complete and utter failure by management this offseason to put together this group and think it would be good enough.

42. I think Keefe has got to go. I said the same thing about Babcock so maybe it’s not the coach but you have to inspire guys. Leafs have zero dog
