Canes, Leafs, Panthers, Blackhawks, Flyers... can’t beat anybody What bothered me more was again, how the Sabres came out to start the game. They've been off since Sunday and got completely owned through 2 periods. You knew their 1 goal lead was just not going to hold up despite brilliance by Hutton. Sure the Leaf goals were cheap, but you get those when you continually work your ass off and it happened. This is an area of the Sabres game that existed last season and if my memory serves me correct, Phil mentioned this at the beginning of this season that starting the game properly is a focus for this year. Some games they do start well, so I guess he tries to address it but it creeps in again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but nothing will be gained by winning now. A lot can be gained by losing the last 9. Can’t do it. I hate losing. These guys need to learn how to win. You can’t turn winning on when the time is right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the Larsson line was our best. Cautiously optimistic on Nylander's development now. Matthews was better than Eichel. You know for about 2 or 3 minutes there in the third we played a little physical and they started to fold instantly. Momentum shifted briefly. If we'd kept hitting them we might have turned the game entirely but alas, we went right back to the usual. I suppose they think we do not have the talent and so building the system is more important, but from a coaching point of view if you want to win, you do not stick to your thing, you adapt to beat your opponent and exploit their weaknesses. Toronto may just be the only team softer than us, and not playing them physical is just dumb. and this is exactly what Boston (and Washington) does to the Leafs with great success. Get physical with them and they can be beaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? “He allows this to happen?” What does PH say in his pre-game speech? “Guys I want you to take your time, easy into the game, no worries.” Sounds to me like the players lack the necessary locker-room leadership and professionalism to put the correct effort forward.

Or are they better off now because they have Dahlin who by all indications is going to be a stud Dman for the next 12 years?

How is that PH’s fault? On the TSN broadcast they mentioned that Babcock made that a point to address with the Leafs: to "start the game on time" after their past few outings.
