The toughest coaching job in the NHL

Ahhhh yes. I feel young again. It's just like 1974-75. The golden year when we were 8-67-5. Except then we actually tried once in a while. Not much success but some effort. Different this year. Not much success. Not much effort. Maybe Ovie needs a raise?

Can the Leafs play the Caps every night?

I feel your pain brother.
My team was better on paper. I think playing well every other game is even more maddening

Dude, watched a lot of the game last night..What in the hell was THAT?

And how come there isn't a thread today tearing Torts a new one? "We were the better team 5-on-5." Actually, no, you let in two of the three goals at even strength. They are totally, utterly disorganized at the back.

Sadly, I think we only lock horns once more. I would love to see some more Ovie fake goal cellies.

they should be in the race for seth jones or nate mchowever you spell his name.

I can see why you'd like that Danny. Check out the 1st goal at the 25 second mark....



The Leafs were calling this a benchmark game and yep they won but they're still s hitty.

unreal. This is what they looked like against Pittsburgh last week.
One game they look realy together, then they look like...well, like they looked last night.
It ain't Torts...
The defence has been awful. mark stahl is playing like he's playing aginst his brother
DelZotto's mental lapses have been mind numbing
They are playing like a team that's just met each other

4-1 road record. I'll take it all day.

Del Zotto is king confusion out there. It was mind-blowing. Blame the PP all he wants, Torts needs to tighten up that D, and fast.

i didnt watch the game...but from what I've seen from the Leafs so far + from the video above, is that unless they are the beneficiaries of a softie or an all out breakdown, the Leafs can't score to save their lifes. It's really quite pathetic (sorry Danny).

Doesn't bother me. I would just like Kessel to notch a few (or one. One is fine.) to pump up his trade value. And for Dion to actually hit within 5 meters of the net with one of his point shots.

Maybe if he takes up whittling. ;-)

I love Adam Oates but ....alas! He's not ready for prime time. Especially not with AO to deal with.

the PP has been lame now for last 15 years. I have been saying for years that he NYR should just 'decline" the penalties half the time.
But the D hasn'gt been playing like they did last year
And Gaborik is sleepwalking
