No sense of urgency and no real fight to even try to make a game of it tonight.

Tavares is moving extra slow

They truly do try to slide by against teams at the bottom.  This is a replay of the MTL game.
 
Tavares looks like absolute garbage.  For a guy slumping to be putting in this kind of effort is really frustrating.  He?s not the only one as Nylander has done nothing but for a guy making 11M and having the C on his chest I just find the effort real offputting

Can?t blame Mrazek for this game in and of itself but our goaltenders suck.  They don?t make saves
Not defending them but it sure doesn't help the way they've played tonight. Just brutal lol.

As much as the team has it's share of wins I still think they need to change the complexion of this team. They are just too easy to play against. It's the team Dubas has assembled and not in my opinion a team to win a cup. Until changes are made in that sense it is what it is. Most fans just look at the standings and figure everything is great but deep down team hasn't changed from previous years. Hopefully they prove me wrong in the playoffs but Dubas needs to make some changes. Watching Saturday night Kevin Bieksa was showing a couple clips of Gudbrandson and Zadorov, how tough they play and as an opponent who would want to play against them 2. Who do we have on the blue line as comparisons to that? maybe Muzzin who isn't the player he used to be as far as playing tough or dirty. We have no-one and that I think is what's missing from this team. Our forwards are no different. Simmonds who I think hasn't done enough in his role but what do you expect when you play 10 minutes a night.Toughness and goaltending are our weaknesses. Campbell can maybe turn it around and will but is he a #1 goaltender who can win you a cup? Everyone says the Leafs have to win a series. Is that what they are playing for? The Cup is your goal not 1 series and in my opinion still some tweaking if Dubas and company want to get there.

He was great last game.  I don't think he's the problem in terms of effort.  But he's gotta start scoring.

Willy has been worse.

Needs better linemates...lol

One game in a dozen doesn?t really move my meter at this point.  He needs to be better.
 
They deserve to be booed.  Great game by BUF but getting your clock cleaned by a bottom feeder at home is not acceptable no way no how.

Leads the league in FO %, 10 As or thereabouts during his scoring slump.  Sure he needs to be better but it's not like he's a lump of coal out there.

Note to Keefe ..Sandin struggles playing the right side so leave him on the left.

Yah, and that's why I wouldn't sell the farm for Chychrun.  He's not proven to be able to play that side either.

I've said it many times, JT is not the problem on that line.

Meh, they got Lyubushkin and in any case overall team toughness isn't the key.  They need solid goaltending more than anything else right now.  You can win with a possession game but you can't when your goaltenders are forever leaking oil.

Zero goals and three primary assists in a month

Well I guess Willy and Kerfoot need to score a lil more. Funny all 3 of them only have 3 primary assists in the last 12 games

No words for this team. Inexcusable losing this bad to a shi* team at home and for those of you knocking the 1st line. Really? Wasn?t for them carrying us the last month or so we probably would be in a wild card spot.

Keefe is a trash coach.  Inexcusable
