What??… A PP shot??… Whaddya know… A goal… Wonder if the PP Units will make the connection??

Getting beat in every game statistic… Goals, Shots, Hits, Blocks, PP… See our guys skate past Leaf players along the wall with no thought of making a hit… let alone a statement hit

What is Granato telling these kids at practices??…

Not one shot on goal

No clue on the PP

Geez… Geez… Geez

Too many passes… No shot

SMH… Not enough… Not nearly enough for the investment and expected ROI

No… Look at the empty seats the past several years… New owner would make moving the team a condition… and lobby the NHL hard

DG talks a very good developmental rap… Lots of experience at it… Not much about winning… No words, no tone, no nothin’

We need leadership… on the ice, on the bench, behind the bench… Now is the time to show they aren’t quitters… and for Granato to show he still has the team with him

And I thought Granato sent them out prepared to win… Second Leafs goal shook them up… Shorthanded goal killed us…

Team giving UPL no help… Pathetic

Just beat UPL point blank

Geez

Take it in closer, Skinner

Clear the zone… Sheesh

Damn… Shin pad

Both teams playing fast and chippy so far… Granato sent them out prepared

UPL

Idk… Lot of young high end 1st Rd draft choices who aren’t near their ceiling yet

At 23, five years in, think Mittelstadt still has ceiling… but he has not played enough games like a 1st Rd 8th Overall draft pick… This needs to be a breakout year… or he’ll be in a trade package, my bet

All the sweeter…

Forgive me in advance… Will play Devil’s Advocate… Why not trades??… Vegas and Seattle rose quickly in their divisions with a motley collection experienced players… Not suggesting a Murray or Botterill reprise… A willing owner and a savvy GM could improve our team with a couple of the right vets from winning programs… without sacrificing the future… Wouldn’t paying fans support a better team this season?… I think so We are risk averse, seems to me… Owner doesn’t want to spend the money… GM doesn’t want to assume the risk… Coach doesn’t know how to win at the NHL level… So the inexperienced players learn what Okposo, Girgensons, the fans, and the Pegula’s already know… It is planned and expected, no less For a risk averse owner and GM, it is a risky strategy if we develop a core of losers under long term contracts

Our poor play goes back a couple weeks now… or more…
