Watching this team and it’s abundantly clear that they have no plan, no leadership and wasted opportunities this last decade. You can’t say that it’s because Marner left, it’s really because they never built the team properly. Instead of building from the goal outward, they’ve squandered a Generational player and have damaged themselves beyond repair. Did they ever go out and address the stud defenseman that could play 30 minutes a game and put up 60 points a year, this last decade? They had the core 4, but all forwards. Their goaltending isn’t bad, it’s probably better than average. It doesn’t show in the stats, but it does in regards to shots on goal and shots on net. Where’s all of this toughness that they proclaimed they’ve added? Sounds like bust city to me. The coaching isn’t up to scratch and the GM has squandered the future. Florida knew when and how to trade, but this organization never did. The young teams have overtaken the Leafs in the standings and the ship is starting to flounder. Is it time to step back and retool? Do you auction off Matthews and hope to recoup young, exciting players and draft picks in return? How about moving Stolarz to a team that needs a good goaltender, for at least a 1st rounder if not more. Rielly has needed to be moved for the last two years, so is now the time? Should Cowan be playing full time, to get used to the pro game and taking the next step? They usually say, wait until American Thanksgiving, but can we wait much longer? Leafs management had better find a solution quickly, or this debacle is going to cut deep. They’re starting to see empty, unsold seats at Scotiabank Arena. Who really is interested in an uninspiring team, with no balls and bad habits? They were able to hide their problems, while the Jays went on their World Series run. Now the spotlight is burning on them. Put up or shut up, as the saying goes. I for one will tune them out, until they either turn it around, or start moving bodies. It pains me to do this, but it’s necessary for them to get the message with low viewership. Time’s a ticking!
No, I don’t think this is a playoff team, CC.

See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I’m crying.”Has AA ever explained his very weird impersonation thing?
Just saw this about tomorrow’s game regarding Stolarz:
“I don’t believe it’s serious,” Berube said
It was a hissy fit.[/quote]
Seriously? Someone needs to punch that guy in the back of the head.
Stolarz hissy fit? Or injury??

The entire Matthews era has been collosally mismanaged from the start. Such a wasted opportunity. What you’re now witnessing is the slow death. Remains to be seen if there is anyone smart enough over there at “the bank” (THE appropriately nicknamed hockey arena in history) to realize it. Probably not.
it looks like Matthew strained his groin trying to hit Zadorov last night.
hopefully he’s not out to long.Leafs best be prepared for LA tomorrow night.

if you look at these numbers, the leafs have been trending down since 2023, last season was propped up by Goalies.

Just gradually getting worse, and imo as the Tre moves start to take over the team. goalies not bailing the team out.
Dubas was meh GM, but I think he was at least better at finding skill to help the team, and fill out the roster.*shrugs*
