    I’ve dislikes teams before, but Toronto really bugs me more than the rest.

  2. 1. Was the PK success all just a mirage? Because it’s been terrible since Boone got hurt.

    2. I think Vincent has run out of patience for Peeke.

    3. A change has to be made as soon as the holiday break is over.

  3. bucknuts34

    Just not a clean game tonight. Refs were bad but we just couldn’t get anything going. Couple of guys had bad nights. Let’s just hope Kuraly is okay

  4. Hopefully Kuraly is okay and nothing serious affects his health going forward.

    This game was meaningless after seeing him go down like that.

  5. ToschePowerConverter

    If we’re not starting Elvis, it should either be Martin (best chance of winning) or Greaves (to see what we have there). We don’t have anything with Tarasov.

  6. agoodfella73

    Terrible effort. The second pp unit looks lost when they are on the ice. Why the hell does this team always look good for 1 game and in the next they cant figure out which end of the stick they are suppose to hold

  7. ASillyGoos3

    I’m not disappointed honestly. Jackets truly hung in there and made a much much better team earn it. Nylander, Tavares, Matthews, and Marner all earn 1+ points tonight. 3 of those guys are under 28 and would be the best player on our team right now. It is what it is.

    Boys deserve the time off to process and recover and im excited to see them get back at it Wednesday!

    I thought we were playing way better than Toronto besides an unlucky bounce. But once Kurls went down and the refs decided the second period was all about them, it seemed like the jackets were too afraid to play the rest of the night.

  9. TheDoubleL27

    I don’t agree with people blaming Tarasov in the game thread. They created more high danger chances than we did and outplayed us as a team. It’s as simple as that.

  10. AeroBlack33

    We just got beat. Bad calls for sure. Team is playing much better than earlier in the season. Young players looking good. Zach and Johnny were looking good. Keep improving and taking positive steps.

  11. FormerlyBeautiful

    Praying for Kurls. Hopefully they’re right about it not being serious.

  12. Seattlekrakenlegend

    I don’t know how anyone can be as negative as they are watching these games. Not all of them are winners, but these kids are the future and they *are* improving and they *are* building something. They are learning from their mistakes, and building chemistry, and playing hard and competing almost every night.

    Jersey had slow growth, even Toronto had rough years, this is our core that is developing together. It’s exciting.
