No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

Honestly I thought Keefe was done after bombing out vs. Florida, but I understand Tre not playing that card right away.


I would say that I understand why Treliving didn’t make that move.

But it’s not because he thinks it’s the best thing for the team. It’s just pure cowardice and self-interest on his part.

Better for his own job security if he “keeps that bullet in the chamber”, since it’d be on him if a new coach failed, instead of holding the last GM’s coach in reserve as a sacrificial lamb in case the season goes off the rails or the team bombs in the playoffs again.
 
lemme try that comp to last year again. again i'll stick with just the pre-deadline lineup from last year for now.

While I do appreciate the secrecy most teams operate under these days, I also kinda miss the legitimate rumour mill. It was fun. Or maybe it was never legitimate and I was just more gullible.
 
So the Leafs are winning at a 112pt pace on the road, but an 85pt pace at home.

Was wondering if this was deserved or fluke.

Home: 5v5 #6xgf60, #27xga60 --- PP #3xgf60 --- PK #17xga60 --- ALL #15xgf%, #9gf60, #26ga60, #15sh%, #26sv%

Road: 5v5 #13xgf60, #19xga60 --- PP #1xgf60 --- PK #4xga60 --- ALL #5xgf%, #5gf560, #10ga60, #11sh%, #12sv%


yeah so probably deserved. our defense sucks ass at home.

So we're mediocre when we're not getting to choose our matchups and abysmal when we do.

This shouldn't happen.
 

You know to boost the confidence of guys like Domi and Bert I'd be sticking them on the PP. Guys are not put in positions to succeed here. Look at how Lindholm was used in his first game in Vancouver.

One of the bigger disappointments I've had lately with the Leafs is how our supposed young, hip and innovative coach morphed into a fat, grey vet coach who only likes his collection of shitty vets.
 
At this point, Willy, Tavares, and Marner need as much revving up as those guys.

Nobody other than Matty is really doing well. Matty is literally single-handedly keeping fat boy employed.
 
Benoit has been great for what he is but the fact that he’s getting 22mins vs a top team on a fully healthy D is brutal.

one thing about Lilly - he has a few wtf moments per game that he really needs to sort out.
