[Feschuk] What’s behind the Maple Leafs’ crisis in the crease?

22 comments
  1. Bad defensive play, regression, and injuries. There, done. And I didn’t even get paid for that, unlike Fesfuck.

  2. 6 minutes of PK to start the game doesn’t help, poor defensive play, regressing forward group.

  3. D older and slower. Plus, you’ve got a career backup starting as the number one and getting exposed. Love Stolarz, but he can’t handle true #1 starts. Gets hurt, gets worn down, whatever.

    This season may come down to Woll. Can he rebound and put together a lot of quality starts? At the very least, the Leafs need the 1A-1B thing going.

  4. D is old as the trees, forwards don’t help, playing the wheels off a backup goalie. Pay me to be an analyst too.

  5. im not a coach but perhaps its the fact the defence is Swiss cheese and the team plays like they have cement in their shoes which exacerbates the fact they always turn the puck over, usually by attempting to dump the puck

  6. The absolute absence of defense in front of it is the problem. How about, and this is a wild idea, we stop giving away the puck one single stride away from the net with no defenseman there to help the goaltender? I know, I know, crazy thinking.

  7. Toronto’s had longstanding issues with defending for many years. Last year’s goalie performances covered up a lot of the defensive play issues. Eventually though, Toronto wears out it’s goalies due to it’s constant defensive lapses and their goalies either fall back to Earth or fall apart.

  8. You lost a top 15 player in Marner when you already weren’t good enough and replaced him with nothing.

    How in the hell did anyone think this team would even be the same?

  9. Trying to replace a 90-100 pt a season player with domi and Maccali is certainly a starting point. Also having a aging slow d core doesnt help.

  10. Stolarz quit on the team because they decided not to stand up for him. This team is a group of guys forced to be around each other.

  11. Im glad stories called the team out and indenture care how he’s playing. Fuck this hearltess, soulless, roster that can even stick up for their goalie when he gets injured in the playoffs. You gotta love that when we finally decided to do a proper rebuild we draft a bunch of pieces of shit with no dog in them.
