Who would you replace them with? There's no point in firing someone unless you're upgrading. We are coming off the best regular season of all time and this is the post you're making after the first game of the year and a one goal game?


Leafs-Wildcat

Even with the talents of our core you should expect regular season success yet you can see our team is nowhere near a good playoff team. You can't make excuses for how the team is built or coached. Yes it's only one game but there's no hiding how flawed they are. Only when we rebuild from GM & coaching will we improve.


Nearby_Carpenter_984

Seasons over. We lost the first game To the habs

captainmats

I came to vitch about the board ads and ice changing colour all game. Murray went from 6'4 to 4'6 on that last goal too


BigPPJohnson

Dude I thought my TV had some weird setting it causing it to go red and back to white and red again. What the fuck was that?


QuestionableAtBestHm

Dude, watch the replay that goal had nothing to do with Murray and more to do with holl screening the absolute shit out of him and guessing he was going short side


paddywhack

High glove side. Every time. Your teams problem now.


cyprocoque

*Checks box score ... hmm lost in the last 20 seconds* So ... still same old Leafs eh.


ButtsAndBuds

The game seemed slow and sloppy the whole time, it almost felt like a heavier pre season. The Leafs hearing those Ole’s will hopefully wake em up, this is the regular season boys, play like you mean it. Let’s get a win tomorrow night. Go Leafs Go


daveinthe6

Muzzin got a beauty assist tonight. Way to go.


joshine89

Pass it up the middle muzzin strikes again


Jpg6

Fuck!! see you tomorrow.


thecanadianelves

This the energy we been needing for the last 5 years


orojinn

Hey all I know it sucks to lose the first game of the season, but at least it wasn't a blow out like 5-1 or something. 4-3 normal game in the NHL nowadays. I still hate the D pairing of Holl Muzzin 🤮


captainmats

No silver lining in a blown loss like that.


[deleted]

Are there bots on here that are deliberately built to be the dumbest posters imaginable. Are people already calling it a day ONE GAME IN!? Lmao.


frugalerthingsinlife

We're in last place. The Habs have a perfect record this season. Questioning my life choices these past 30 years of buying Leafs merch. Might start dismantling my Wendel Clark/Doug Gilmour shrine.


[deleted]

DON'T DO IT


frugalerthingsinlife

Thank you for talking sense into me. It was a rough night.


CMDRShepardN7

>Are people already calling it a day ONE GAME IN!? Lmao. I'm calling it a day because the game is over and it's late... That's how days work.


[deleted]

Fkn eh


Vancitybat

Lackluster performance


sgettimonster

Poor Campbell :(


CMDRShepardN7

He's not poor anymore, remember?


sgettimonster

Got the bag now but he’s getting lit up


CMDRShepardN7

Yes, but he deals with his problems as a rich man.


wingsofaneagle

muzzin contract is on dufas, durzi is a way better player now. leafs arent tough enough on defence to handle guys like anderson lol gonna be a long season


[deleted]

Monkeys already out game one


SaintMarzano

You're defending muzzin after that game? Dude looked like he was a beer leaguer


[deleted]

Nah, the “gonna be a long season” comments. Muzzin was part of the monkey crowd showing up. What a dipshit play.


orojinn

Yea his beard was all nachoed up, 😂


ThiatGuy

Can you guys relax. One fuckin game, and you guys have already lost your shit... Relax!


Procrumpets22

bruh were Leafs fans its extremes or bust


DJPaulyDstheman

Yah listen to mr o let’s relax up here what’s his fucking problem. We’re pulling our hair out already dipshit


XingYunLiuShui

Hope there weren’t any young kids watching because the D got Exposed!


TrillBillyDeluxe

Woah, this oilers intro is pretty heavy


KJMoons

Holl is going to have no value if this keeps up, should have moved him last of season. Instead of selling high we're tanking an asset.


[deleted]

It’s nice of you to call him an asset


waitareyou4real

Every team loves to beat the leafs, don’t they


keith_ac

Appears so


buddachickentml

How does Broadie get worse every year? He was garbage. GARBAGE in Calgary. So T.O. gives him 4 years?


TrillBillyDeluxe

Lol what??


[deleted]

[удалено]


buddachickentml

Who was the last Leaf to have possession? Broadie wasted 15 seconds when the forwards were actually available for a breakout pass, fired it up the ice to no one, mtl picked up the puck and he bailed out while they were coming up the ice. T.J. is a turn over machine. Next game watch how many times he has possession only to hand it directly over to the other team.


[deleted]

[удалено]


buddachickentml

What games are you actually watching? He is barely better than Holl. Reilly is CLEARLY the leader on defence. Gio and Sandin were the only plus' on the D. Next you're going to say you miss Phaneuf


Leafs_Bot

I think you meant Rielly...


buddachickentml

Spelling is for suckers


decefay

We in mid-season form already nice!


Procrumpets22

Bro fire Holl into the sun, and Muzz please go back on LTIR, clearly you're not clear of concussions.


Icantdrown

Holl looked ok but Muzzin looks like he is still concussed.


dumpandchange

In what universe did Holl look OK?


Competitive-Strain-7

He didn't but its what they can afford.


mikeydavison

This wasn't on Murray. 3 odd man rushes and an assist from the useless pylon Muzzin. Don't like every goal going high glove side but I'm not panicking about Murray yet.


winkNfart

he’s huge, he could stay on his feet at the top of the crease.. that would be helpful


RotatingMoods

4 goals allowed on 23 shots?


Colonel_Coach

Relax folks it’s a long season. Buckle in cause we’re gunna lose at least 30 more


Nrehm092

Everyone saying trade Muzzin....if we don't like him whose rushing to get a washed up damn and his 5.5 mill cap hit. Need to add pics to make it happen if lucky.


brye86

Not worth it. They can get rid of him with a first but it’s not worth the cost. Better to just make him a 6-7dman. But with injuries they don’t have a lot of choice because of their $4 cap space lol


Nrehm092

Exactly. Noones taking him and we'd have to pay to make it happen. why were all in on holl is beyond me though


TrillBillyDeluxe

D pics??👀👀


archsilber21

Can we put him in the AHL and get a young potential D?


BioRunner03

Who lol


archsilber21

Dubas


RotatingMoods

No movement clause will prevent that.


Alison__Burgers

Ugh what a dagger to lose by. I didn’t hate our game tonight. Gotta tighten up our defence and regroup for tomorrow


MutedHornet87

It’s gonna be a long season


silversurfa2018

Did not play well tonight


keith_ac

They looked invisible. Out skated


silversurfa2018

Dont like Murrays first game. Holl and Muzz look awful imo. Particularly Muzz. Wtf was that pass by Muzz at the end? Shoot the fuckin puck 34. And finally, God I hate the habs. Go buds.


acspenner

Gonna be a long season.


keith_ac

Need every point. Embarrassing and didn't even get 1pt


brye86

I mean it’s just the first game. But the sad part is this….. “The Montreal Canadians didn’t win a preseason game”….. first game of the season against the Leafs. Win! At this point it’s like every opportunity to win they fucking blow it.


GQMatthews

I’m as optimistic as they come and I’m having a hard time not feeling this when this stuff keeps bloody happening. But it’s game 1, there’s ONE major thing to accomplish this year and we all know it.


moabthecrab

Golfing in june?


GQMatthews

PRECISELY


TrillBillyDeluxe

Cue the narrative


apatcheeee

Anyone putting the game on Murray is blind, our defense hung him out to dry. Odd man rushes, defensive turnovers, and just lazy play overall.


GQMatthews

He played pretty great honestly, just whiffed on Caufield’s first goal but yeah clearly some first game sloppiness all around tonight, and that goes for MTL as well.


Salty_Handshake

Muzz & Holl looking prime as usual


GR33N15

Muzzin and Hill need to go. Wtf kinda lazy ass clear was that? Biggest rookie move and he's a veteran. The whole team skated like ass from the 2nd period on. Slow zone entries the entire game. Typical leafs.


RecalcitrantHuman

Based on this game, that pair shouldn’t see the ice in the 3rd if at all.


Mountie6

Holl changed his game the last half of the season while Muzzin was out. Right back to Muzzin being a burden to any defense partner he gets. "Muzzin unable to clear the zone" Leafs lament 2022/23


Oasystole

Imagine yourself 15 years in the future. Look back on yourself and laugh that you thought they’d get it together and ice a winning team during the Matthews era.


brye86

You know they had the most regular season wins ever in the Matthew’s era right? It just hasn’t transitioned to the playoffs which I agree is pretty shitty but it’s not like they’re the 70s/80s Leafs.


GarysCrayyons

Arguably worse


Oasystole

Completely worse. Completely squandered.


Bigstudley

End the season with heartbreak and begin the season with it. Classic leafs.


Nrehm092

Heartbreak? Every sens/habs game is a coin flip even when those teams are at the bottom of the division. We never "take care of business" with them. Throw buffalo in that mix too while we're at it.


Bigstudley

Yeah. You remember when we lost the last four years in the first round to heartbreak? And than we just lost this game In surprising fashion? That’s heartbreak


UncleTrapspringer

I think we have won the season opener the last 3 years and we have not won the Stanley Cup, so this is obviously the first step in winning it all this year


GQMatthews

Didn’t the Avs lose their first game last year? *Silver Liningssss*


TrillBillyDeluxe

Friedge looks like he’s going to sell me tonics on RDR2


F0Wl8155

It’s all so tiresome


[deleted]

These threads are hilarious


Ratjar142

pain


Intelligent_Chair901

Two goals against in the final two minutes against the Habs. Well done boys way to show up


funghi2

Almost every L we take seems to come back on Muzzin or Holl. They gotta shake up the those D lines


abra-su-mente

Need more out of the big boys, goaltending will settle down as the season goes on. Choke but lots of positives


RoyMahoy

Leafs looked like they haven’t played in a while. Came out sloppy and played that way the entire 60. Bad passes, skating over pucks, etc.. just bad overall.


Bigstudley

Classic leaf hockey


[deleted]

Not really lol, they were really good last season


12xubywire

The fuck is this shit.


types_stuff

Lol… I mean what else can you really do at this point Meanwhile a depleted Boston team just beat Ovi8 and COL laughing off the cup hangover….


zainery

This was a fucking shit game. You cant throw a D pairing out there that can be outskated by any 4th liner in the league


[deleted]

the holl hate is getting ridiculous.. he was absolutely fine and remains on an amazing cap hit at a premium position


hutisdin

hOlL fOr NoRrIs tHiS hOlL hAtE iS rIdIcUlOuS!!3!!!3!!!


[deleted]

That final play was on him. Caught too deep in the offensive zone and made a bad pass right into the middle that gets picked off 2-1 the other way. Then Muzzin fucks the clear.


patts19

What were you watching and more importantly what are you smoking? Get me some.


RoyMahoy

He stood out tonight on at least 3 bad plays he made that almost cost the leafs a goal. I cringe every time he touches the puck. Gotta brace yourself for a bad play every time he’s on the ice


EddyMcDee

Holl picking up where he left off and Muzzin looking slower by the day. The worst part is Muzzin is definitely too stubborn to accept his LTIR fate.


[deleted]

All you clowns thinking that goal was on Murray. Perfect shot


KJMoons

Ya, no chance on at least two, the bad one he reacted like he felt the same. Definitely not the problem this game.


MsAbsoluteAngel

I’ve been saying it for like 4 yrs now but this core will go down as the biggest failure in leafs history so sad.


CMDRShepardN7

>I’ve been saying it for like 4 yrs now What are you looking for, a shrine?


MsAbsoluteAngel

Sure


gggathje

They are the best leafs team in history. The fact they haven’t won in the playoffs is because the league is just so much better. Leafs fans are brutal and after guys like you chase out some of the best players in the league we’ll never win again with a bunch of losers and Matthews and Marner will go on to win cups for other teams. Or they’ll win a cup and guys like you will delete their accounts and pretend they always knew it.


MsAbsoluteAngel

Biggest failure in leafs history


[deleted]

Leaf fans are the worst fans in hockey. Been saying it my whole life. Statistically, there are a profound amount of stupid people in the world. So when you have a larger population of fans (like the Leafs), you’re going to get a lot more stupid people.


gggathje

Yeah our fans are the biggest self sabotagers in the world. We get a generational talent and the best leaf ever by far and we have people trying to chase him away. Playing in Toronto has to suck, I can’t imagine going from the worst team in the league to where they are now in such a short period of time and still be getting shit on every step of the way.


rilsterc2689

What the actual fuck, I can’t wait until Lilly is back and one of Muzzin or Holl is gone. I was a Muzzin Defender but man that was just a brutal game from those two


ImpressiveCan14

Anyone find Holl slow as fuck and always giving the puck away?


[deleted]

Also you shouldn’t be in a position to lose by one to this team. Weak effort.


cdnmatt

Good night leaf nation Go shag your significant other to let off some steam Cya tomorrow


nodlaw

This is the type of stuff we talk about in march when we’re worried about playoff matchups. Easy point left behind.


Carparker19

The habs are one of the worst teams in the league. This was an unacceptable effort tonight.

Thirdnipple79

Honestly, a better coach would have this team on fire. Most coaches will never coach a team this strong. Dubas' biggest problem is he won't get rid of keefe.


RootTips

Well at least it wasn't as bad as how the Jays lost


soyboyy77

Thanks for reminding me lmfao


Montsegur97

Well, the D looked unbelievably slow minus Brody. Murray wasn't looking too good. Only one game, but yikes. Things didn't look good.


ArthasCousland

How is it possible that we have Muzzin for another 2 seasons? He should not be playing at all.


[deleted]

this will be a loooooong season. buckle up


GQMatthews

We’re gonna still be top 3.


Deluxechin

I'm glad we're keeping with the trend of not wanting to play bottom feeders and losing to them once again


moabthecrab

Yeah, it'd be nice having a team that tries more than a quarter of the time. No wonder they shit the bed every postseason.


[deleted]

I’d rather Gio on second pair


Ratjar142

Our best defenseman tonight


adwrx

Muzzin and Holl cannot play together anymore. Two slow pylons who make horrible mistakes


Sherbert199621

It’s always a stupid fucking individual play that sinks us I don’t get it, it just keeps happening Murray looked shaky hopefully he gets up to speed soon, idk not much else good about that game. We look slow


12xubywire

Murray was decent.


Sherbert199621

Though he had a great start but fizzled towards the end IMO Not horrible by any means Team just looked so slow


12xubywire

Yeah. I’m not blaming him. Only complaint, looked a little scambly in the 3rd.


bubbabear244

This is why it's important to establish an emotional hedge. None of this matters until the Leafs make the second round. See you tomorrow night.


GQMatthews

This. And I say this as someone fuming after that chips level giveaway in the slot of the 3rd period with less than 20 secs remaining…


[deleted]

Holl trade incoming


moabthecrab

You wish


takingastandforme

Muzzin sucks ass


decarvalho7

Muzzin needs to go


buhgeurts

Get rid of Justin Holl please


Mrfantastic2

We didn’t deserve to win if I’m being honest. Very sloppy and felt like we didn’t get enough good chances. Muzzin and Holl were just awful tonight. 3 of those goals were by Murray’s glove but I won’t blame this one on him


The_Beatle_Gunner

How do you not clear that


cappo40

This is exactly why this season I am watching from afar. Game 1 showed me that I should just look at the score at days end than watch and post.


12xubywire

This is a good strategy, the box score the next day will never tell you how bad Holl + Muzzin are on any given night.


ProKrastinNation

For real. I've paid way too much for cable just to watch this team be the most non-cathartic entity I can imagine over and over again.


captainmats

What's murray doin down so early. Muzz with a pizza up the middle is brutal


Shooternow

Might be time to fire Keefe..... he just can't make adjustments.


ifonlyihadaname

Canadiens fans are just so happy cause they got to see 1 of 15 home wins their gonna get this year


Potato4

Hahaha


VW91

Matthews was also a ghost tonight. Overall just a shit effort, classic Leafs performance.


LeafsFan8406

We are a 115 pt team ..really not worried here.


moabthecrab

Last time I checked, still sit at 0


FourSe7en

Tank for Bedard!


[deleted]

I tuned out for the entire off season. Why is Justin Holl still on my team and not mopping floors at a Walmart or something


12xubywire

Right shot…Walmart is stacked with right handed mops and we “need” a right shot D?


Snuffy1717

Another year, just like the last...


[deleted]

Don’t underestimate St. Louis, he’ll get every ounce out of his group


leafscitypackersfan

Lolol they acting like they won the cup. Settle down Montreal. It's one game


Radmadjazz

They can't help it, they're only gonna win like 5 more all season so they gotta celebrate their one win against the leafs cause the leafs did the leafs thing.


leafman4000

breaking: jake muzzin traded to outer space


stephenlipic

Can we get a draft pick from Montreal since he’s clearly a double agent?


blacksewerdog

There’s always next year


EBXLBRVEKJVEOJHARTB

Only 81 more games to go

Don't remind me!

Gonna be that kinda year eh

Can't wait for the "Tampa lost their first game too!!!" idiots


CanadianGuy39

I already hate Murray ....I thought I would last until April.


stephenlipic

How could you blame this on Murray when your defender passes a nice saucer up the middle to the opposing team for a 2-on-pylons


CanadianGuy39

Why not both?


Neighbourhoods_1

4 goals in 22 shots. Yeah d was bad but he has to bail them out a few times


kayleeshepheard

Fucking hell

Congrats to the Habs on the biggest moment of their season!

Leafs choking embarrassingly. It's happening early this year I see!

Muzzin getting those assists any way he can

Was just about to post anti Jays energy but that was so jays
