I'm honestly having the same feiing with Keefe as I had with Babcock. Obviously, very different styles, but I can feel the Leafs are mostly good despite him. So much potential. And so much disappointment over such boneheaded coaching. Holl needs to get the fuck out of here.

[@Troy2Slick]

I’m still scratching my head that they protected Justin Holl Instead of keeping their potentially 30 goal scorer who is now in Seattle. I think pretty much everyone called in a piss poor move as soon as we all saw it, as predictable as Toronto is, they have one of the worst defensive seasons and some of the worst team save percentage in NHL history over the last four months, doesn’t really shock me.

[@andrewparish625]

It's no coincidence that Muzzin comes back and the Leafs roll the old top 4 D pairings that were blowing big leads left and right 2 months ago and immediately blow a big lead. Go back and watch the last 2 Panthers goals in regulation...Holl and Muzz are on the ice and both times Muzzin was alone behind the Leafs net while multiple Panthers were playing catch and shoot in front of Campbell. Lybushkin and Rielly were working so well together because Boosh just sits in front of campbell and clears the net while Rielly roams around. They need Lybushkin on the ice he's the only one that clears the net for them.

[@chrisg1556]

I said it in last nights LFR. Holl should sit. Rielly/Lybushkin, Brodie/Muzzin, Gio/Liljergen. Holl and Muzzin should never be a pair and should probably never be in the line up at the same time when everyone is healthy. Too many better options to have both in. I sincerely hope Keefe was just giving Lybushkin the night off and doesn't actually think Holl or Muzzin is a better option.

[@whoopass2rb]

TL;DR: I don't think Hall is top 6 in your org anymore. I think he's the 8th defensemen on this list and we decided to place him in against the 2nd best team in the NHL with pulling out arguably our 3rd best d. Hard to justify the action. Details: I'm right there with you on that, I spent a while looking at this from a mobility VS grit look: This one is mobility from left to right (most to least): Sandin, Reilly, Liligren, Brodie, Hall, Lybushkin, Muzzin, Gio. I'm being generous, it might be Gio then Muzzin but Muzzin just got back from injury, might take a bit to get his skating legs. Here's the same concept but for grit (in terms of moving bodies): Lybushkin, Muzzin, Gio, Lilgren, Sandin, Hall, Brodie, Reilly. This list I'm way more skeptic off, many out there could change my mind on a couple positions in the order. But what matters is how this all looks: Reilly (S2, G8) with Lybushkin (S6, G1) is a great "sword and shield" as Dangle puts it. Muzzin (S7, G2) with Brodie (S4, G7) is an ok "sword and shield" Gio (S8, G3) with Lil (S3, G4) is a good "sword and shield" as we've seen. What we had last night: Reilly (S2, G8) + Brodie (S4, G7) - No shield Muzzin (S7, G2) + Hall (S5, G6) - No real sword Gio (S8, G3) + Lil (S3, G4) - Good. Objectively, that 2nd pair is just bad. Hall is mediocre in terms of strengths / weaknesses compared to the rest of the group. Why? Because while everyone else has a relatively good strength as either being gritty or being mobile, paired with a weakness of the other option, Hall is just mediocre at both this season. What's worse is in doing the pairings like that, you're forcing a pair of Reilly + Brodie, which we can clearly see will not have the grit to remove a body from the front of the net. Hence why you get a game where if teams are willing to go to the dirty areas, they will score and plenty. I think the Reilly + Brodie combo is great, for a specific purpose. You put them out for particular game situations and they will thrive. Defending the front of the net is not that. What makes this even more interesting is the thought of Sandin (S1, G5) getting in. The challenge for him is he's not going to replace Muzzin, his best comparable to replace would be Reilly but he's not replacing him (nor should he, Reilly is your #1 D). So the person you look at is Gio and I'm not sure you do that to pair with Lil. Rough spot, specially considering Sandin is probably one of Toronto's better D, he just doesn't have the experience to command the spot yet.

[@markshannon9260]

@@whoopass2rb Sandin can be a backup in the playoffs. You'll always need extra in playoff hockey.

[@whoopass2rb]

@@markshannon9260 Oh I don't disagree. I just feel bad because I think Sandin probably fits as a #3 on your depth chart. He should be your 1-2 punch after Reilly + guy. But he doesn't bring enough grit to warrant removing Muzzin; not yet at least. With Gio, I think there's something to be said about experience, which he has the most of and it's very much rubbing off on Lil. But you're 100% right, come injury time in playoffs, Sandin should be first choice to get in.

Justin Holl has become Jake Gardner. Popular with the guys, with occasional good plays, but bonehead mistakes at critical times, complete inability to move players out from the front of the net, and really bad giveaways. Boosh has to come back in. Also, Nylander has to stop floating. His sloppy, half-effort play cost us two goals. Funny how nobody is mentioning that. He gets a great goal and everyone forgets.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - the mid-2000s Senators, early 2010s Sharks, and the current Maple Leafs are all the same team, in essence. All the talent, all the skill, and yet unable to put it all together for one full cup run. The Leafs still have a chance to shake that label, but that window won’t be open for very long.

[@ddmath]

Holl has to be the odd man out. Brodie and Muzzin, try it. Don't break up Gio and Lily. Put Boosh back with Reilly, they worked fine. Muzzin needs a breakout guy, and someone reliable. Holl is an enigma with Muzzin because he didn't suck quite as much. This is the time to find out if it really is Muzzin that is the problem, especially with Sandin on the mend.

[@independentmind6344]

[@craigharrison5406]

I hate to say it but Muzzin needs to sit out. The Leafs D pairings were great without him. He comes back into the fold and they immediately go back to blowing a huge lead. It doesn't take a genius to see what the common denominator is here. The last 2 Panthers goals in regulation, he was all alone behind the Leafs net while the Panthers played catch and shoot in front of campbell. I'm still trying to figure out what he was doing back there.

Producer Drew did a nice job on this one 😂 GLG!!!!

Ngl this game was one of those game that made me ignore the stats leaf hater would say to me. Like “oh you guys blew yet another 5-1 lead” and my instant response was “What? Did you expect a guy coming in from a game against tampa to have a shut out against the best offense in the league after they started heating up? They got 3 of 4 points, Worry if they look bad after this” This game was really fun to watch and still gives me hope in ways as a leaf fan

[@bigboi8770]

Steve, can you DM me when "the feeling" starts to seep in? I'd love to make some serious bank off of Leafs blowing 5-1 leads in the future.

Casual Toronto meltdown. Another casual Panthers comeback. I cry myself to sleep.

[@PopShoppekid]

I ask this question, "are Leaf fans confident with Campbell/Kallgren duo in goal to start a playoff series ?? And this constant softness in front of their own net! Not a good combination to hang your hat on in playoff hockey. Steve is right, the demons are still about!

[@Troy2Slick]

No, they won’t get past the first round having subpar goaltending and Jake Muzzin and Justin Holl playing together. They’re toast.

[@jaym8346]

Fine with Campbell he was a 9.34% and 1.88ga last playoffs. Its keefe, holl and muzz im worried about.

[@lukefimio859]

@@jaym8346 I actually think Keefe "Coached" them out of a win last year against the Habs, when he sat Sandin directly after a big Win in which he scored a huge powerplay goal, so that he could keep Dermott in circulation. Stop tinkering goddamnit and let your team get chemistry.

[@XWatso]

As a habs fan, these Leafs lost videos are the only thing I was looking foward to this year! thank you

[@zednik4hart]

if holl plays in the playoffs we may have another case of the "Gardiner Express"

[@CBH-cu1dt]

Funny how you brought up that stat of the Leaf record versus East teams currently in the playoffs. Would love to see what the Leaf record has been against East non-playoff teams since Feb. 1 LOL And a gentle reminder, that the Leafs are playing the Habiturds this weekend 😆

[@slipperynodd578]

For the full season they are 7-5-0 against the 4 bottom Atlantic(Montreal, Ottawa, Red Wings and Buffalo), since February 1st they are 1-4-0 against the same teams. They play Montreal on Saturday and Buffalo on Tuesday

[@cisemokram]

dude you are so right.....

[@tylershep4220]

I'm making my monthly pilgrimage to the Steve Dangle KZbin channel to hear angry Leafs man yell about Leafs

[@RaspySW]

What’s the leaf record this season with Muzzin in the line up? Something isn’t right.
