  1. It’s not the lines guys…it’s the lack of passion and will to win. Put the blender down, the problem is between the ears

  2. It's only a quarter of the way into the season but here's the thing: It's the same old Leafs. Year after year. Will they flame out early in the playoffs like the last 7 years? Will they even make the playoffs? Too bad they don't pay the players based on playoff performance!

  3. Marner still plays like a kid there's no maturity in his offensive zone.

    Knies shouldn't be on the top line. Nylander is the most polished NHL player that can do more things offensively than anyone on the roster Matthews might have the potential but he's more shoot first than creating pressure.

  4. O'Dog said it perfectly tonight. They just don't look like a team playing well. Sloppy defensive. Awful passing. poor PK and a up and down PP. They don't look right from game one.

  5. Marner is somewhat sensitive and I remember how Babcock bullied him in his rookie year. The internet is rude to Marner. He must be feeling the pressure from Nylander having a career year and in a position for a new contract.

  6. Nick seems to notice it is not the Players Fault for this Mess.
    Ice Hockey is the Same as Baseball when it comes to Dominating the Zones Your Covering and Make Sure all the Bases are Covered.
    The Leafs Play Ice Hockey like They are in a Soccer Game.
    Your Supposed to be a Quick Forward Transition so You can Surprise the Opposition but the Leafs are 98% Soccer Back Passes and Telegraphing to the Other Team what Your Plans are.
    The Leafs Management are Treating Their Star Players like a Spoiled Child.
    It's always the Other Players Fault You can't Compete for the Cup for 6 yrs Now, as well as Sundin and Kaberle Before that for 10 yrs.
    The 2 Worse Ice Hockey Players ever to put on Skates and the Leafs wouldn't say BOO to Them for Their Bad Playing.

  7. When will Kyper and JD stop making excuses for Marner and Matthews? Who give af if they're sensitive, Willy gets critcized and benched by the coach all the time. Those two need to grow a pair.

  8. Nick knows what is Missing
    You need A Goal Scorer and 4 Checkers to get Him the Puck at Both Ends Every Shift if You want the Cup and to Keep It for a Dynasty.
    Core 4, Analytics are just Euphemisms the Management make up to Cover the Fact that They don't Know How to Fix the Problem They are Having.
    Ice Hockey is as Easy as Checkers to Learn.
    Gordie Howe said it Best to Micheal J. Fox at a Game " Cover Your Positions" He Barked at the Actor.
    That is all it takes to be a Top Notch Ice Hockey Player in the Pros.

  9. I have wanted Marner gone since he started crying after that playoff loss a few years back. He is a spoiled brat and our team would be better off without him. Send a message to the rest of the team that we will not allow boys on the team, only real men.

  10. Again Bourne has no clue what the hell he is talking about!!! Knies is the problem on the line?!?!?!?! He criticizes the only guy on the line that actually busts his asss!!

  11. try blaming the $13 and $11 million dollars di$%s on his line who are the problem not the rookie!! Bourne you're a moron and he reason i rarely watch the show Kyper needs to throw out these bums on his show if he wants anyone to give a crap what he has to say.

  12. Hey Bourne do you support Hamas as well you Karen?!?!?!? Can't stand this guy. Get a clue buddy and know what your talking about before you open your dumb ass up!

  13. I agree with you guys. Let’s shore up defence first then we can think about the rest which may be a trade. Maybe Marner.

  14. Come on! How long will this failure go on? Trade Nylander and Marner! A good gm could re-build this sick franchise with a smart trade of these two players.

  15. Trade Marner for some good defence and use the extra for Willys new contract. I’m a Marner fan but sadly it feels like he’s just skating around.😢
