Tua over Herbert
Igbo over T.Diggs
Jackson over passing on the pick to grab a snack
Waddle over Chase/Pitts
Cutting KVN and Flowers with no replacement option
These are fire-able offenses that Grier and Flores have committed the last 2 years.
#Dolphins
There's probably not another NHL coach that would have waited until game 67 to try Max Domi with Auston Matthews. Or game 68 to bench TJ Brodie.
#LeafsForever
It's not getting talked about enough (yet) just how horrible of a job Dubas has done in Year 1.
#LetsGoPens
about to be mathematically eliminated in mid March. 😬
What a pathetic loss for the Penguins. To get zero points out of this game is unbelievable. Penguins are just as pathetic as the Devils. Just finding ways to lose.
Canucks get a new addition (Lindholm), he immediately goes to PP1, leads forwards in TOI and scores twice.
Leafs acquire Bertuzzi + Domi, they get no PP time and less TOI than Jarnkrok and Kampf.
#fireKeefe
The
#Leafs
have scored 38 goals in the last 9 games without Marner in the lineup.
Matthews has 14 pts in those 9 games.
But, keep pretending that this team would be wise to pay Marner 12-13m on his next deal.

It amazes me that some feel the only difference between Herbert and Tua last year was weapons...SMH. The dude is a STUD. We picked the wrong guy.
Interesting flex from Coach Keefe to ream out Bertuzzi, again, but not ever hold Nylander, Marner and Matthews accountable for their constant fly by forechecking .
Vegas loses to Buffalo 5-2 on home ice yesterday.
"That happens to all teams over an 82 game season"
Leafs lose in OT to CLB after impressively coming back from 5-0.
"Can't win a Cup playing that like that, allowing CLB to score 5 goals on you"

Amazing how Kyle Dubas has managed to F*** up two NHL franchises, after inheriting incredible talent that would be the envy of other teams, in such a short period of time. That is the Dubas masterclass lol
Biggest difference I’ve noticed between Dubas and Treliving? When Tree acquires someone, you can immediately understand why that player would be added if you know hockey
Nick Robertson tonight:
*11 mins
*-2
*0 SOG
*0 Hits
*multiple F ups that led to the Flyers 4th goal
And...some of you want him to get MORE opportunity!?
Nick Robertson has 1 goal in his last 16 GP.
The idea that he simply hasn't gotten an opportunity is dying a slow and painful death. He's a fringe NHLer that doesn't do enough good things on the ice to offset not putting the puck in the net.
@dalter
@BodogCA
Keefe is brutal. What does he expect Knies and McMann to do with that waste of space in the ozone, Kampf? You put Dewar or Holmberg there. And Treliving needs to tell Keefe it's Brodie's turn to sit.
Dubas was GM of the
#Leafs
for 5 years and our best prospect by a fair bit is Easton Cowan, an 18 year old that Brad Treliving drafted.
Shanny to Dubas before letting him go this summer:
@OmarKelly
216 of those 404 points came from offensive TD's, the team was bottom 3rd in both rushing and passing TD's, as well as first downs. Are we giving Chan the credit for Sanders kicking more field goals than any kicker (outside of Koo) and for the Defense/Special Team TD's?
@JacobPacheco6
Nylander constantly ends his shift early when the bench is closer than the puck pursuit, yet always finds the extra gear when the Leafs have possession.
@lukefoxjukebox
Keefe: "I like Marner with Domi".
Also, Keefe: "What's that Mitch!? You prefer getting 24 mins of cardio while watching Matthews score? Fine."
How did Calle Jarnkrok 1) get a 4 year deal and 2) get a NTC from Dubas?
So many awful decisions made by Dubas, yet the low bar
#Leafs
fan crowd continues to mourn his loss.
Nice to hear Matthews and Marner tweet how upset they are about Marleau leaving, but what did they expect would happen when they held Dubas over the ledge by his ankles demanding max $'s for their efforts in the last 3 1st round exits?
Dubas committed stupid money to the soft core of Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Reilly that he inherited, added to it with Brodie, Muzzin, Gio, Jarnkrok, Murray and Samsonov, and some fans really thought he gave this team a real shot at winning a Cup!?
#Leafs
fans saying that we need to bring Nylander or Marner back should tune into the Carolina and Florida game to see what type of players truly tilt the ice in May/June.
@jonassiegel
This is so short sighted. When $4m of that was placed on LTIR early in the 1st quarter of the season and Reaves provided at least adequate ROI on his $1.35m, this seems like the absolute worst place to assign blame.
With Justin Holl being a healthy scratch in 4 consecutive games for

Tverberg "could" be in play? In what world, would he not be in play!?
Dude has 8 goals in 35 games, 4 of which came in the same game LOL
You might not have noticed him on the score sheet tonight, but this win doesn't happen without the contributions of William Nylander:

It's too early in the morning for nonsense. Why the hell would the Rangers give up K.Miller, who is on a beauty deal now, and Laffy, for Nylander and a couple pieces of junk? I'm not so sure Drury is all that excited to pay Willy his 10m.
Be better Sam.
@DamoSpin
Haha, yeah must be painful to coach a team with Auston, Mitch, JT, Nylander, Rielly, Barrie, Muzzin, Freddie, Kappy, Kerfoot, AJ, Mikheyev....25 NHL coaches would kill to put these names on their lineup sheet.
@MikeGarafolo
Wow, our front office actually found a way to make an elite player happy and wanting to stick around?? This is ground breaking stuff from Grier! Good decision.
#finsup
It's certainly proper and reasonable to feel sorry for Keefe, as a human being, but any
#Leafs
fan not happy about him being fired as coach has simply not paid close enough attention to this team and/or doesn't know hockey.
No doubting this loss is completely on Babcock. Premature goalie pull, over playing Nylander line that contributed nothing again, brutal special team play, over reliance on Fred despite having the more talented roster. If he's not coaching for his job in game 7, I'd be shocked!
@Sid_Seixeiro
Pretty sure 97’s teammates not scoring a single goal to add to his 2 was the reason they lost. McDavid is phenomenal, but the
#Oilers
are just a mid team that gets to play San Jose and Anaheim a bunch.
@FieldYates
Love the comments here lol. Field wasn't suggesting he's about to take Mahomes' job. But, Gordon being around him, Reid, Bieniemy, etc.., will only do good things for his development.
#Leafs
played one of their best games last night. It was the most mistake free, playoff style game they played all year. They still lost. The core showed us what they are willing to provide in this type of game, and it's still not nearly good enough. Good team, not a Cup team.
@DarrenDreger
This is where Phil needs to be...Hot weather, no chance of making the playoffs and having an extended season. Just the ability to mail it in for the rest of his career.
And Sheldon Keefe just keeps winning hockey games, no matter who graduates to the big club. Shorten up that leash, Shanny, you got your next coach down the street.
#Marlies

@BrianCatNFL
You could build an almost complete roster of All-Pro's, just based on the talent Grier has passed up on or overlooked in the draft while having more premium draft capital in the last 2 years than some teams have in a decade.
Nikita Zadorov is receiving top 4 mins for the Canucks, the 3rd best team defensively based on GA/GP.
Many Leafs fans were hesitant to give up assets for him cuz of course he isn't good enough to play top 4 minutes on our blueline lol.
@dalter
Dubas lives in fantasy land, where individual and team results are always just around the corner, and standing pat is the only path forward. Shanny has allowed him to dismiss what his eyes tell him and continue believing in unicorns.
@CodyRoarkNFL
I'm a Dolphins fans and have to say it's Denver's WR's. Not sure many outside of the Dolphins fan base could argue otherwise. Sutton and Jeudy are the 2 best from across teams by a decent margin. And Hamler, Patrick and S.Williams are high quality depth.
Rumour is that Keefe didn't overplay his 4th liners at the expense of his top players...more research needed here, but appears that it might be easier to win when you play your top guys more.
#Leafs
If Jay Woodcroft loses his job in Edmonton, it would also seem reasonable to get rid of the 95% of hockey “experts “ at
@Sportsnet
that picked the Oilers to win the Cup.
The early season excitement over Nylander's "emergence" as an elite player has smacked into a wall lately. Likely won't even hit 100 points, something that seemed impossible to the casuals in November.
He's a good, not great player. Not worth near 11.5, that's for sure.
There is no doubt in my mind that McDaniel is a smart dude who likely was promised Tua would simply be a one year trial. No chance he's watched Tua tape and accepted that his 1st and last HC gig would be tied to that noodle arm.
#Dolphins
The amount of stupid shit
#Dolphins
fans post here has reached a level of pathetic I never could've anticipated. Crazy how many posts from fans of a franchise that hasn't won anything, yet showing arrogance and expecting us to destroy NE in Wk 1 or somehow win 12 games.🙄🤷♂️
@markhmasters
"...didn't hurt the team"?? 🤷♂️🤔
This quote shows how soft Keefe is and that he's the biggest reason players like Bertuzzi, Domi, Reaves aren't having the expected impact.
