Leafs Humbled By Depleted Canadiens Team



The Leafs squandered a 2-0 lead and fell in overtime on Saturday in Montreal. “It sucks,” said defenceman Mark Giordano. “We got to stop trading chances with a team like that.” Toronto has now dropped five straight at the Bell Centre. “We were in complete control of the game,” said coach Sheldon Keefe, who saw his team outshoot the Canadiens 15-4 in the first period. “You can’t let up for even a second.”

  1. i dont understand how we always live up to falling for the trap games. how many times does it take losing to bottom feeders like anaheim, arizona, montreal time and time again before they figure out they need to show up every game, even if they're not a playoff team. there's guys on that roster that have something to prove and have a chance because of injuries, they're not going to back down.

  2. What's plainly obvious is the individualism of today's players. They aren't concerned with the long standing rivalry with the Habs and ensuring they play their best game for the crest they wear. More likely before going into the corners they think how it may affect their next contract if they get hurt.

  3. Over 40% of Leafs payroll on three players. How's that working out?

  4. Leafs have to get rid of this "we are great." They go into the room after a dominant 1st period and come out with the attitude this is going to be easy. They do it all the time. That's why they beat the best and lose too the worst. As soon as they realize no game is going to be easy they will be ok. They have to get your heads out of your asses and understand they have to compete 100 % every game.

  5. 😊poorKeefer…..yeah, that uncalled offside just turned the tide…hahahahahahahahahahahahaha,…..Giordano….yeah, we gave them a goal and…..hahahahahahaha…I love Torontos media….love the excuses to get beat by an AHL team…..

  6. Hahahahaha the great Matthews feels ‘fine’ strong…..hahahahahahaha honest, he said that…..gotta go and tell RDS and TVA……hahaha strong🤣🤣😂……hahaha. Toronto better trade the great one before they only get a couple of second rounders for him…..at least now, he’ll be able to catch Caufield for goals…..TSN can’t stop talking about this ‘star’ that can’t get his team into a second round of playoffs.😍….what? Three other ‘stars’ on the team can’t help either? Wow, no wonder the CANADIANS are Canada’s team! 🤓

  7. Not just the leafs…..Habs’ AHL team beats T.O. And Montreal’s ECHL beat T.O.’s AHL TEAM…..GOOD NIGHT ALL AROUND!😂. The great Matthews iasnt kidding about foot off the gas…..did he play ?

  8. I want the leafs to go on a 4 game losing streak and have Steve dangle FREAK

  9. Choked …. Again.
    There isn’t the drive, across the whole team.
    There’s NO kill switch.
    Unless they can find the jugular, to bury a team.. they’re not going to get out of the first round. Look at Boston, and what they’re doing. There’s no let up .. there.

  10. It’ll be funny when these entitled brats are near retirement and request being traded to a contender.

  11. As long as fans buying season tickets and regular game tickets , they would not care.

    No need for a cup if you have the fan base and money, being the richest team in the league.

    Answer on the fans hand , boycott the damn team.

    do it couple seasons , you will see a change.

  12. If the Leafs can't beat a crappy Montreal team, how can they even think they're good enough to win a cup? I guess it didn't hurt that bad when they got embarrassed by the Habs in the playoffs last year. Pathetic.

  13. Leafs won their cup winning against the jets, they also got their masochistic fill from the habs so win win

  14. They threw the game man. Very obvious. They don't deserve a cup run. Nhl should review this game aswell.

  15. As a life long Habs fan (71 years old) I can tell you the ONLY thing more satisfying to watch than the Habs hoisting Stanley, is to watch them humiliate the Leafs for decades… and decades… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  16. The Leaf players work hard and their coach has his hands tied – the GM structured the team in a way that it has fundamental flaws. They are an solid regular season team and exciting to watch. Many talented Leaf players just win their Stanley Cups a few years after they leave Toronto. Us Leaf fans just are loyal – Go Leafs go! Without a new GM we’ll likely just see more of the same.

  17. That's what happens when Dubas builds a team that doesn't play physical because the leafs players have no backbone. As long as Dubas and Shanahan are running the team nothing will ever change.

  18. Do you notice the little entitled boy isn’t wearing any leaf gear during his interview? And people want him to be the captain what a joke

  19. The Meat Loafs prove they're the best at losing to sub 500 teams. First round and then golf for the Laughs!

  20. Leafs lose like a game in Overtime 2-3 and the media freaks out and the fans completely flip. The media is probably why these players have so many problems and choke so much.
