1-4 in their last 5 since the Edmonton win and they’ve got the Devils, Wild, Avalanche and Oilers in the next 4. Safe to say that the vibes have changed pretty significantly in the last two weeks.

Stolarz 2 of every 3 games until he gets hurt or Bob plays like an NHLer

Leafs move to 0-3-1 against their own division. All on home ice. Move to last in the Atlantic by win%. The Atlantic Division currently has 6 teams on pace for 100+ points. Someone from the division is going to miss the playoffs with 98+ points. Leafs arent a playoff team.

Unironically, Kirill Marchenko is the reason Toronto looked fine for a lot of the season even if he wasn't scoring at will. He drove play at a borderline elite rate, he had a combination of speed+skill+IQ that you rarely find and his defensive posture was excellent.

We have no 1st rounders next 2 years because we acquired Laughton and Carlo. Why were we paying so much for those 2? Our trade deadlines were a disaster.

NJ, COL, MIN & EDM this week. This can either be a turning point or get really ugly.

#leafs need: top pair D (atleast) 2C starting goalie. they have barely any assets and are beyond capped out. chayka made some good moves and signings, but picking this goalie tandem for this price, and signing 1 too many 4th liners for too much $ are gonna erase it all.

With 3 on the board tonight, Sergei Bobrovsky has allowed 3+ goals in 11 of his first 12 starts as a Leaf

The lowest bar to clear is that I'd like to be go one full year without being fundamentally embarrassed to be a fan of my own team and I'd have to go back to sometime around high school (I turn 40 next year)

Did not expect Marchenko hitting a bad rut in Calgary to sewer the entire season

On the whole I think John Chayka has made more good moves than bad ones but trading Woll for basically nothing to sign a guy a decade older for twice the money with worse stats may define his legacy regardless of what else happens.

Jim Hiller will blow a timeout for a 5-on-3 PP in the 1ST PERIOD during the VAN game, but won’t use one when you have a 4-min PP with 3 minutes to go down 4-2. I’m done man. That PP was fucking pathetic. 3+ minutes of perimeter passing with two Canadiens with no stick. #Leafs

Jake McCabe casually running a 37.5% GF at 5v5 on the season after being on for two goals against in that first period. Simply not good enough.

Wins aren't a goalie stat, obviously. But when one guy is 4-1 and the other is 3-9, the decision isn't complicated. Stop this Bobrovsky horseshit as soon as possible. I don't give a shit if he isn't 'to blame'. He's being paid 7M. He should be the reason we win.

The Leafs are without their next two first round picks. Both unprotected. You would think that got them Marchenko or something, but nope, it was Carlo (who they flipped for two 3rds) and Laughton (who they used as a 4C and flipped for a 3rd). I don't miss Treliving

Better team in the second and the third. Got goalied while our goalie is a fossil who has had a single game where he's let in less than 3. Honestly, just take the second half of the game as a positive and move on. Don't get too low on the lows or you'll kill yourself. 9-9.
All you can do is laugh and keep on moving forward. 8-9

If I had a goalie who had a .910 SV% and the team was 5-1 with him in net I'd probably just keep starting the guy who sucks all the time
