Maple Leafs Trounce Stars 5-3: 7th Straight Win at AAC | Oettinger's Rough Start, Steel Shines!

[@jacoblamarre1591]

It was abysmal goaltending that lost us that game plus ridiculously good goal tending by Woll. Oettinger never should have started in that game, should have started DeSmith for the Toronto and Rangers games to let Otter rest up, Bad game for Otter but I expect him to have far superior game whenever he starts next.

This game is 100% on Otter. Can’t win if your goaltender lets in every other goal. 4 goals on 8 shots is unheard of. If he’s just halfway decent we win this game comfortably.

Leafs are just explosive. that's 7 in row vs you and Winnipeg. They did the same thing the game before. The are leading the Atlantic.

[@Joe_Ma99]

@ lol did we watch the same game? explosive is the last thing I would call them. Congrats on the winning some regular season games but nobody is scared the leafs. Oettinger sold this game.. No further analysis needed.

Time to rebrand the 1st line to the 4th line. Send a message. Start sitting these guys on the power play, give the people who are finding the goals time on the PP. This isn’t working and 30 games in now, these guys should be able to find their skates.

Why in the hell do you change the lines up when you’re playing the leafs? Deboer never ceases to amaze me.

[@SunkissedgirlLMGG]

Thanks for the breakdown Joey! Personally, I think Evgenii Dadonov was the shooting Star with a goal and an assist. Also, he was the games Third Star! Steel’s goal was an awesome effort tho. It’s another tough loss, especially with all those shots on goal! Yet again, the boys work harder than the score reflects. Hopefully, they’ll come out of this soon!

Not sure if it’s coaching? Or if it’s an internal issue in the locker room? Idk? Something is keeping this team from their full potential. Whatever it is they need to fix it and fast. We don’t look like a playoff team. Let alone a team that could win it all. Not even close. Last year, you could tell from game 1 they wanted it. This year? Still waiting for that mentality to show up. Rangers up next. I sure we will make that disaster look like a top notch team somehow. Bet we do. I predict a 4-2 loss to NY. I could be wrong. I’d like to be wrong. Hope I’m wrong. Just don’t think I will be. Sucks.

[@jesterboykins2899]

Our passing is terrible as usual. We always try for the home run pass, and if it gets through, it’s a missed rush and icing to boot. Seems like our big guys are asleep out there. We give it away too much. Poor passing, lack of effort and execution. Steel and. Blackwell no disrespect, shouldn’t be your two best players in the game. Seems like we’re just cruising along not really worried about much. Seems like they don’t care. Maybe they do? I can’t tell. They played so good against the Caps… to this? Makes no sense. Were the list inconsistent team in the NHL.

Blackwell had a great game.Former Leaf

Happy birthday Otter

[@jesterboykins2899]

We find new ways to beat ourselves. We make the road team look good. Why do we play down to their level. Instead of playing our game our way? 30+ games in and we are still asleep somehow… so frustrating

[@ryanu.4953]

How would we feel about getting Granlund from SJS as a rental once we put seguin on LTIR?

[@ryanu.4953]

Or Palmeri from NYI
