Penguins @ Leafs - Oct. 11th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

[Deebo]

Extend Randy before another team tries to poach him!

Fire him quickly, then they'll start winning, for sure.

 

[Capn_Crunch]

That's a bloody weak call.

Thats a effin weak way to blow open a game early... rosby and company always get the calls when they come to town.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes...

The calls aren't the reason the Leafs are losing.  Their playing poorly is the reason they're losing.

 

[lc9]

This is a bad hockey team.

 

[lamajama]

So I believe RC is not a bad coach per se but it's either the collective ignoring him or he's coaching the wrong systems. Both are huge issues.

I just don't see the Leafs being bereft of talented players and can't understand why we suck so suckily

Don't think that user said it was the reason.  Bad call is a bad call whether the team is great or terrible.

Another weak one from Bernier

Players aren't good enough....that's not Randy's fault.  It's like watching an NHL team playing a minor league team

 

[AvroArrow]

This is a bad hockey team.

Trade them all and bottom out this team.  This is the draft to do it.

That call to gift wrap a goal for Pitts was WEAK. Like Crosby and company don't bury it every 5-3 they get here in TO. Seems like every Pitts game is like this with the rare exception. Crosby runs up the score and the refs give em PP after PP... then throw em a 2 man PP... woah nelly. Sucking is one thing... but calls like that which blow open a game that had a chance of being entertaining need to not happen.

I'd bet it's the ignoring part.

Two minor penalties in succession  for the Leafs, Pens score 3-O end of first.

The Leafs can still mount a oomeback,  there's plenty of time to go.

 

[lamajama]

I love Don and will defend him 99% of the time but he's even nuttier this year.

 

[895]

Interesting analysis by Don.  They should look that up on the analytics lol

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

5 Players in the Leafs team tonight from Toronto, even more from Canada in general.

Somebody put a bullet in that old bastard.

 

[cw]

70% of the Leafs players dressed tonight are Canadian. (well above league average 50.7%)

He was talking about drafting.  And he not only mentioned Canadians but OHL players.  I'd be inclined to follow what the winners do and if the LA Kings indeed draft mostly Canadians and mostly OHL players, then so should the Leafs.

Leafs should draft the best players available regardless of where they're from.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Aside from Dons major rant what was that quick jab in there about getting only 5 minutes and being phased out?  Is the house cleaning from sportsnet forcing cherry out too?

 

[Bullfrog]

More Canadians = more success. It's science!
