GDT #62: Canes @ Leafs

[LeafOfFaith]

Well...that makes me a feel a bit better.

Seriously. That actually gave me a little relief.

Panthers still lost lol. This team keeps getting so many chances

Be a man? where were you Thursday night?

The one good game they have played in like two months?

Still surreal the next morning. Lost to a zamboni driver. A special kind of embarrassing. Truly rock bottom as a fan.

The good thing is, as bad as the game was, it was still just one game. It was really frustrating but we probably overreacted to some degree. Hopefully the adversity helps us and we get it together and play well the rest of the way. Nice that Florida lost.

Bro...

Good to see that Marner was really hard on himself after the game. Called his effort/play bullshit and that he’s supposed to be a leader and has to be way better.

 

[CRL]

They are saying same shit after every bad loss

 

[Wayward DP]

hard to put any positive spin on that one.

gotta be a low point in my life time as a Leaf fan. and that's a high (low?) bar...

Yeah great job by him admitting that he lacks willpower and effort. He deserves a cookie for rinsing a bitch ass rookie GM in contract negotiations and then packing it in the following season.

I personally applaud 11 million dollar players for admitting they don't try at all.

yeah zamboni driver game gets added to the honour list for sure.

 

[Killer93]

So awesome

 

[leaffan2005]

Awesome to continue being the butt end of hockey jokes. Entering prestigious company with the Cleveland Browns and New York Knicks.

If last night revealed anything it's the lack of leadership and accountability. Feels like they're at the point now where if they mail it in, they can just spend 15 minutes apologizing post game. Oh, that's it for questions? Alright, back to the penthouse condo. Gotta get up early tomorrow, heading to the Mercedes dealership

 

[Preston]

A Zamboni driver played for half the game.


They proceeded to lose 3-2.

 

[leaffan2005]

This is the danger of paying kids this much this early. The amount of "give a fucks" tends to dwindle very quickly. Also the danger of having a stat nerd as the GM who has no idea how to construct a balanced roster without relying on imperfect advanced statistics. Ignore the importance of balance, leadership, guys that can do different things, etc. Just a bunch of one-dimensional skilled forwards and "defencemen" who care more about stats and individual accomplishments/contract status than winning.

 

[Preston]

They lost to a zamboni driver.

They lost to a zamboni driver.

It truly is remarkable.

May be one of the worst losses any team has had in NHL history. Will be remembered for years to come.

A 42 year old zamboni driver who works for the Leafs and was a kidney transplant survivor.

Last night I lost all respect for this group
