    bound to happen eventually but hoping it’s only happening the once

  2. Rinne4Vezina

    Like the majority of this squad, Lauzon is a completely different player under Bruno.

  3. kissingwookiees

    hate to see the leafs win… hate to see the leafs win because we’re losing even more.

  4. Such a sloppy game from the boys, and it’s gonna be tough to come back. That being said, Samsonov looks ridiculously shaky, so if we can get one, anything can happen.

  5. Rinne4Vezina

    We can blow a two goal lead, but can we overcome one? Stay tuned!

  6. HomegrownStatistics

    The one thing the Leafs lack is physicality. Need to land some big hits, get them winded, break them on the boards in their own zone, and stop hesitating on shots and just let it rip. O’Reilly, Trenin, Parsnips, and Smith are there to put them away. Trust in your net front presence.

  7. KarmaPanhandler

    I’m sitting in the dark twiddling my thumbs. What’s going on?

  8. 1L0veTurtles

    It took ’em a while, but now it is going. May be too late 🙁

  9. JEBariffic

    Games like this, hockey might become popular in Canada.

  10. mansock18

    Nashville buddies, y’all good? Any regulars not reported in?

  11. kissingwookiees

    This aggression is what we needed for the whole game! Alas, too little too late I fear.

  12. Deveranmar1

    Are the leafs just good at drawing penalties or am I missing something?

  13. Willy come on lol. I know we got walloped tonight, but “championship level team” is not an accurate description for a Leafs team beating a team they should.

  14. kissingwookiees

    ah well. not a great way to kick off the canadian weekend roadtrip but here’s to a better effort tomorrow 🍻

  15. Deveranmar1

    That shots on goal counter is fuckin embarrassing for us. We gotta do better we couldn’t get any good offense time
