Leafs @ Flames - Feb. 10th, 9:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

It's easier to take getting stoned by a goalie when you lose 3-2 or 2-1.  Falling apart for 3 minutes so the game is out of hand, not as much.

JT line crapped the bed, Jack didn't come up with the saves and game over. Gotta think Keefe is going to change that line somehow. Matthews line had 20 shots between the 3 of them. Need a lot more out of the JT line then what we've been getting. It's bad when Kerfoot has been the lines best player.

Why doesn't anyone get benched anymore? Sit someone out for a game.

No cap space to be sitting a forward in the press box. I would put Willy on the 3rd line for a few. JT hasn't been great either but he works hard out there. I think Willy is hurt something just isn't right about him.

Yeah Campbell is a problem right now.  The Leafs have made bad defensive plays but you just need a save.  Every mistake ends up in the net

Leafs played with 11 forwards then lost Kase for most of the game.  How do you bench someone?

All it takes is a period or even just a bad play for some around here to lose their minds.

It's definitely true.  We are having our best season in team history by a wide margin.  This isn't a perfect team and most of our losses have also coincided with the Leafs playing reasonably well but facing a good goaltender.  They weren't goalied last night but if Calgary got the goaltending that the Leafs got I think the Leafs still had the edge in chances (outside of that 3 minute disaster window in the 2nd period)

Agreed. Leafs actually played a good game, minus the brain farts.

Most of the underlying numbers from last night favour the Leafs. Unfortunately, regression has hit the goaltending hard, so they've definitely been feeling the effects of their mistakes more recently, but, for the most part, they're playing well.

Modern coaching has determined it doesn't do much?

It definitely isn't held as the 'catch all' punishment it used to be. Mostly, it's an in-game thing now - players get benched for stretches of play, sometimes entire periods - but rarely are the scratched for stuff.

Unless I?m wrong the leafs have lost 6 regulation games since Nov 8th. So maybe let?s look at this at more of a macro level.

I'm not talking during last nights game. Just in general maybe give someone a night off due to poor play. I don't know if guys are hurt but Nylander and Tavares have been Mia lately so Keefe should send a message. Don't care how much you make not cutting it take a seat. No one is held accountable anymore.

All those 5-spots are a cause for concern, as is the fact that he's had basically one good game in the last couple of months (OK, just looking at GA there so maybe not fair).

Only 7 regulations losses since they started the season 2-4-1. They've gone 28-7-2 since the Oct 25 loss to Carolina - a .783 winning percentage. Definitely need to keep things in perspective.

Don't expect as much from a 4th line player making 2 million a year. Tavares and Nylander eat up 18 million between the 2 of them and quite frankly have been horrible lately. Again don't know if guys are nursing an injury but we need more production from them. Matthews and Marner had 18 shots between them last night so they showed up. Like some have said Kerfoot has been the best player on the 2nd line more often than not lately and that is a concern.
