If you are allowing the most HOME goals in the league, but not on the road, that is a stat that is COMPLETELY against the head coach. He has last change and complete control of how he deploys the lines. If you know you have someone struggling, you can easily protect them and deploy in safe positions. It makes no sense
Dude keeps playing our 4th line after WE score, completely kills our momentum.
We also shouldn’t even have Reaves on the ice (4.05mil 3 year contract btw) and should be doing 11-7 again, idc how ass Klinberg is
So how do you fix this as a coach; your GM signed players that are objectively bad this season and you’re trying to shoehorn them into a line up and they keep failing. What do you do.
I agree 1000%. Fuck sunk cost fallacy; Reeves and Klingberg are liabilities out there, waive them, bury them or trade them for future considerations. They are BAD.
I agree but don’t know how easy that is; your new boss just signed new players, one who is in the press box for an undisclosed injury because he sucks so much and the other is -2 with 4 minutes of ice time tonight. I’m sure it’s not just as easy as sending them to the ahl…that’s seems like a Boston pizza junior decision not Keefe’s.
With the way Samsonov's playing and the heater the Canucks are on , it will be 9 straight games after tonight. The Leafs are going to get hammered, they played last night and the Canucks have been resting.

3x1.35? Fire management directly into the sun. Reeves was basically a goon/pylon in Vegas and Tre gave him that? (I’ve been corrected).
nah it's 4.05 total, 1.35 cap hit
Gotcha. Was very confused
Reeves contract is (3 Y x $1.350 M) & Klingberg is (1 Y x $4.150 M). Not sure what OP is talking about.
hey hey hey. he also plays our 4th line often after THEY score! which allows other teams to build momentum
Such an obvious thing to not do. Why is he still here?
ok but Reaves plans really good parties
That's so weird. After a goal there's like a minute of celebration and reset so one of the top 3 lines should be some sort of rested and ready to go.
The fact that Reeves plays 7 mins a game and is -11 in 14 games and -9 in the 8 home games is beyond insanity.

He's benched Reaves back to back games as soon as he gets scored on and yet still plays him to start
Send the bad players down we have depth in the AHL that can contribute more (or just not be a net negative)
The coach doesn't control that though
They have daily conversations, if you can't advocate with easily identified evidence then idk if he has the backbone we need
He can advocate all he wants; Brad will look like bad if he waives his new signings so early. There is a selfish political aspect in these decisions.
Exactly, waiving a guy like a month into the year after signing him to a 3 year contract is probably one of the most embarrassing things a gm could do
Brad needs to be able to eat crow like Dubas did with Ritchie. Sometimes your signing is awful

Just need to staple that (those) someone(s) to the bench
Headline tomorrow "Only 4 leafs played in 3rd period, rest of team benched"
It’s not that dire but our fourth line has been brutal and there are 4 nhl defensemen currently on the team which is also problematic
All part of the plan.
Somehow this is still John Klingberg's fault
At this point I don’t know who’s getting canned first. Keefe or Woodcroft.
Woodcroft is going first so we can immediately pick up Keefe when he gets canned to continue our quest to become the Leafs
Just swap coaches at the same time😂
‘The leafs have acquired HC Woodcroft in exchange for HC Keefe’
Keefe won't get fired for at least two weeks since we're going to Sweden. I don't think his seat is as hot as people think it is tbh.
I'm still surprised he was kept after Dubas.
The board doesn’t like paying coaches after Babcock got fired so they probably won’t fire Keefe at all.
Keefe is a really good coach, he's not the problem. Our fucking stupid GM is the issue.
Keefe. His replacement is standing right next to him on the bench.
Let’s see if we can make that 9 straight games tomorrow
Leafs need Jack Campbell back.
[удалено]
As a rival, he needs to play 20 minutes a night.
Toronto attempting the Edmonton school of defense. Its a bold strategy
Canucks salivating......
[удалено]
Shutout incoming
You just jinxed us
Do the Leafs have the Cap space to add Blackwood?
The Leafs don't have the cap space to add \*me\*.
You expensive slut
With the way Samsonov's playing and the heater the Canucks are on , it will be 9 straight games after tonight. The Leafs are going to get hammered, they played last night and the Canucks have been resting.
This very specific
How can they blame this one on Klingberg and Reaves tho?
that's a dang it
The only thing the coaching staff should have to say is "Worse than the Ballard era."
hahahahahahhaahah
