Georgiev made more saves but Vasy definitely had to make the better ones. More than one save of the year candidate from that game

[@melvynobrien6193]

Take away his oversized pads and he's ordinary, like most of these floppers and sliders. Goalies these days rely on those ridiculous pads to do most of the work. And why are goalies allowed to freeze the puck outside the crease? It's supposed to be a penalty. Not to mention all the crosschecking not called.

This is great therapy for Steve (if anyone hasn't already realized) He is asking are you in and tries to reassure himself that he is in at the the same time. The only thing keeping Steve believing in Leafs, is/are his youtube channel(s),which coincidentally keeps him sane as well :) . (and the book too). Hope all the best for you Steve and remember; its okay to quit and not be in. - like you said; there are other things in life

[@thet3504]

Half the leafs are terrified of getting hit. Gardnier saw Wilson coming, literally tried to run away, then gets thrown into the corner and GOAL. 2-0.

[@ECH0ChAOs]

We need to learn something other than the stretch pass. Teams have figured us out, and that to stop us you just give our defenseman no time to make a pass and clog the zone and we're screwed. I know if wasn't necessarily apparent in this game but it's something that teams the past 20 games have really started doing and we're .500 during that period. Babs and the rest of the coaching staff need to address this IMO.

[@michaelaustin7946]

“The AHL is technically the chel” killed me😂

[@MrNicholas7]

I was at this game. I thought the Leafs played great (save for a few moments in the second period). However, the majority of fans around me were pretty brutal. Complaining if Matthews, Marner, or Nylander did anything remotely wrong. Booing Gardiner for getting checked, when Connolly’s goal results from being unguarded in front of the net. Calling the PP terrible after puck movement was great, Holtby made a bunch of great saves, and the Caps got a good bounce for a 2 on 1, and a goal. I get the passion of being a fan, but when someone behind me says, “Matthews is terrible, they should bench him.”... I just get embarrassed for people.

[@crusader0074]

When Matthews is at his best he can give McDavid a run for the title of best player in the world. He is not the problem, the problem is luck...the Leafs don't have any. We are one of the most talented teams in the NHL. Any other division we might be leading...but in this division we have to compete with two other elite teams...Tampa and (yuck) Boston. The fear and worry is that Boston has our number...again! ...then again, Pittsburgh always seemed to have Washington's number, but look what happened last year. Hope springs eternal...even for a pessimist like me. I'm in! Go Leafs go!

[@robertfullam8898]

Daniel De Vall Mcdavid is miles better than Matthews or pretty much anybody else I know it's not your main point but Mcdavid is easily the best player in the world

[@crusader0074]

@@robertfullam8898 Fine then...Matthews at his best is the 2nd best player in the NHL.

[@melvynobrien6193]

Where was Nylander, the SEVEN-MILLION-DOLLAR-MAN? And if the opposition goalie is playing well, you run into him a few times. Matthews continues to rack up points, even during his recent "slump." No one mentions Nylander's massive slump, eh? Give him time, give him time; time me arse.

[@thet3504]

Sorry but Gardiner is terrified. The goal was 100% on gardiner. He looked up saw wilson coming, completely shit himself, got thrown into the corner left the puck then Goal. If he was not a hotdog and just chipped into the corner goal does not happpen even if the same hit happens.

I am IN. I’m here for the wins, losses, ups & downs. I started cheering for them in 2014, and here we are. They’ve improved so much that it’s frustrating when they have sloppy nights. But look how far we’ve come! They’re going for the cup, whether it’s this year, the next year, whenever (hopefully soon) we gotta believe in them. GO LEAFS!!!

[@0325archive]

You made me really think about if I like the sequel trilogy or if I just like it compared to the prequels

[@Austin_Niepołomice]

I think the islanders where they are because imo Trotz is the best coach right now with a better staff especially goalie coach who is without doubt the best. That’s coming from a Caps fan who was almost at wits end with Trotz during the Cup season but saw he could eventually do it. I know from fan experience that a winning coach can get fired if they don’t get it done and that was how Trotz eventually came to Washington. So don’t be worried if if Babcock isn’t a hockey genius some thought he was and you see him fired. I loved and hated the entire journey to the Caps first cup, but once you have it everyone can get fucked cause your team has the cup. Although unlike he Caps it feels like the Leafs are in a much tighter window or maybe that’s just my bad memory.

[@joeshedler6496]

I'm in dude, I've been IN for longer than you've been alive, but man this game was frustrating. First time this season we dropped 3 in a row, that hurt. Not cause it was just 1 loss but the 3rd and the frustration is building. I cant stop that, the Leafs have to do it for me. I've defended Babs, and even Sparks, but I am starting to wonder if Babs has lost the confidence of some of the team? Way too often we dont start on time, and way too often wait till 5 mins left in the 3rd. We need to figure that out, its NOT a physical thing, its between the ears 100%

[@APisceanSlant]

Legit asking, though---we think we're the best fans, but we all know the ACC is quiet (especially on weeknights). Contrast that to most other Canadian cities, and I honestly wonder if that lackadaisical energy transfers over to the players? We seem to always come out laziest, at home...and I personally can't pin that on the coach. But I share your frustration as to why it continually happens.

[@zodiac5375]

TJ Gibson stop

[@joeydifranco0422]

I agree. There's no point in getting rid of him now. We'll make the playoffs, and we might still get second in the division. If he doesn't get past the first round and give a decent showing in the second, though, he needs to go.

[@marcm.3888]

Sheldon Keefe is up for a new contract. If the Leafs fail in the first round again, with this team? I think it's very possible the Leafs move on to Keefe. Do they? Probably not

[@TJGibson0]

@@zodiac5375 I have no issue's with him as a coach, but it's become clear this season he isn't the right coach for this team. He is forcing players to play in ways that least utilize their strengths and waste their talents. Also I think it's clear Dubas isn't on the same page as Babs since he specifically requested the right to fire Babcock when he is GM, meaning he likely won't hesitate if he doesn't get the results he wants.

[@DominicGibbs]

If they do get eliminated in Round 1 again, I don't think he'll get fired simply because the Leafs are way too good for it to keep happening. I say give it one more year. All those players are gonna get better as time moves on.

The history, the culture, all of it I respected. But through your videos, I have realized that there are so many similarities in the fan base of our teams.
