That will be the only highlight of his career. Are we really talking about Engvall, A fourth liner? He's one moment from going back to the AHL where he belongs. First goal in 2 months. Nothing here to see are talk about.
@@Puckhog the whole Leaf team should be going back to the AHL to learn how to stop choking LMAOOO. Matthews, Nylander, Marner, and Tavares should head back to the AHL to learn how to play defense. It's much easier to play defense down there than in the NHL.
It'll be a battle between the Isles, Leafs and Wings and maybe Tampa Bay. Pens and the others might be too far behind. Leafs could have put 8 points between them and the Isles had they won tonight, but now it's only 4!
Sorokin was absolutely unreal…this is exactly what happens in the post season…you can dominate all you want but if your Defensive game stinks a guy like sorokin can win a series no problem and send you packing. It’s too bad he’s on a team like Ny
Hear - Hear! well said Phil, well said indeed. Seriously, think how far Toronto would go in the playoffs with Ilya Sorokin or Shesterkin between the pipes! With the offensive talent Toronto has! Just a good defence and a top 3 elite goalie would bring this team a long way in the playoffs.
Yeah Sorokin is a beast. His stats so far this year dont reflect his actual ability, guy takes the most shots in the league every night. He'd definitley put any teams that's close to being a contender right into that tier.
Props to the video editor who didnt just show the fight but also a replay of the reason for the fight 👍 now for replays of bad calls by the refs that lead to pp goals
Well, we shall see, now that he has his contract. Will he resort to the player he was for years before his contract ur? Or will he be the player that he was, when he was playing for a new contract? Something tells me it’s the sooner.
None of em shoulda been signed for the salary they got. Haven’t proved anything other than they can score a bunch of goals sometimes. Usually get the pay day after winning a cup, not before.
Most fans didn't like the signing, we know he's a lazy player that only contributes when he has the puck, otherwise he's useless out there. 11.5m/8 is nuts, I can see a buyout in a couple years or a bad trade to dump him.
The team is playing below expectations this year. Not only does Treliving, Shanahan, and Keefe need to be fired but our defense, power play and penalty kill coaches need to be shown the door as well
the problem is that Treliving won't get the door. He was just hired. He is working with what Dubas left him so i'll give him a pass this season. As for Shanahan, he needs to go. Keefe is on thin ice.
Should have won last year. This year he's been off a bit. Lambert didn't know what he was doing and the Isles were giving up 40-plus shots a game. So Sorokin has had a bit of regression. It happens. Though not as bad as Shesterkin did last year One year to the next is different, can't win the Vezina every year.
I was at a game before Christmas and had complimentary club seats. I tell you, they had a chef for the snacks and all the booze you could drink and it was all on the house - complete with serving staff who will walk your food and drink to your seats. Some big wigs were there who were not at all interested in the game. It got me thinking of the thousands of paying peons who faithfully paid their overpriced tickets and crowded the stands and pay the overpriced booze and the dreadful snacks. Call me cheap but I will never "pay" for a Leafs ticket again.
Leafs are just top heavy...good for All-Star games and hockey pools with a few high end offensive players...but the whole of the team is...meh! Something like a copper Crown with 5 shiny diamonds...looks good from far...but does not pass a close inspection! They need a Star goalie!
@@kenduffy5397You need a mid to high tier goalie to win with good D in front, but the Leafs can't afford either because they keep pissing their cap away overpaying forwards.
See See what the all star break deprives us of?? Our regular laugh at Toronto losing at home to an Islander team with an impressive 8 wins on the road, now 9 congrats.
@@jeffreyadams648 As almost every one sees with the Leafs, its a very unbalanced team: Amazing Offence, Mediocre Defence, Unreliable Goaltending and Suspect Coaching. This is not a team built for the playoffs, if they even get there.
the better team did not win. This js an example of a game you are supposed to win but you don’t. Classic leafs though, the most frustrating team in all of sports. 💀
@@maahes7139They’re not making the playoffs lmao. They won’t make it for the next 10 years starting this year I’m calling it now, they blew their wad last year.
That's far stretch, The leafs have 5 players better that Barzel. So how are the Islanders better? You are a liar and you know nothing about hockey. Good goalie though.
So the Toronto All Star/Super Star gets just 1 assist. Not much of a star if you ask me, Did he get benched in the 3rd period again for not passing the puck ?
Keefe the 5th longest tenured coach in the league, all the guys in front of him have cups. Took Montgomery 1 period of the all star game to figure out something Keefe has had years to watch not work
... haven't you heard? They have been disappointing their fans before Justin was born; when the Beatles were still a thing; when the Americans still thought they were winning the Vietnam War.
Morgan Reily looked horrible on that 3rd goal with the lazy give away and then weak coverage infront of net letting Islanders player just burst infront
@@AlGrundau911Uhh sir, did you not watch your team during the start of the season? Nurse was unplayable. He's ok for now, but certainly not anything near 9m a year good. I don't disagree that the Leafs have overpaid bums though, I doubt anyone could argue that.
Leafs no secondary scoring, drop knies down not producing. Put Lilly or Gio in the press box should of at least got one point. Rielly with the giveaway late and no coverage.
If you think the Leafs can score their way to the Stanley Cup, you are kidding yourselves. The GMs of the Leafs keep loading up their salary cap on offense...and year after year it's been the lack of defense and a standout goalie. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Insanity is also paying 300 dollars a ticket to watch this every year...Go Isles. Saratoga Springs NY
Leafs offence is becoming toothless. So many shots and great chances and they dont score of none of those. Nylander could have had at least two goals of he was not just shoting it randomly. And Samsonov is sloppy again. 2/3 goals were rebounds that he should have directed better. It looks like leafs wont make the playoffs this season.
He played fine, wouldn't say it was an amazing game by any stretch though, his reaction to that 2nd goal was horrible and he was moving around too much for most of the game, something you'd see when he wasn't playing well.
I'm so tired seeing sub 900 SV%. Keep blaming mistakes and defense but if your goalie lets in 1 of every 10 shots no matter the quality, you'll never win anything. I hate to say it but you might have to break up some of this salary and trade marner considering he will want 12 mil+. Use guys like robertson, liligren, Marner, picks and get: Get two FWDs that statistically replace marner (think a pentaly killer and a pp guy that each can get 40-50 points) Then get two Dmen like hannifin and tanev. Find a veteran goalie thats still good and work a deal for Samsonov and a pick for a solid guy between the pipes. Would you do it? Turning robertson, marner, samsonov, and a pick into a solid goalie, two top defensmen, and two 'role' players that contribute to depth scoring and special teams. Find someone who wants marner and has enough assets to fill our holes then throw at them what we got to get it.
