All the oilers have to do is fire their coach get like a bruce boudreau , move a draft pick and skinner for a decent goalie. The team is good enough to get back on par but they gotta do it fast.

Remember years ago the blues were dead last then they fired their coach and

The Leafs top line scores a beautiful goal, and then the 4th line gives up an equalizer. That’s been the story of the Leafs entire season.

Leafs are so unlikeable and frustrating

Stupid, Soft, weak and porous defense. Lacking depth too. Young and promising Timothy Liljegren out for weeks because of a cheap shot by Marchand and our top 3 on defense :
a 40-years old past his prime giordano, a 33- years old Brodie and Morgan Rielly. The rest are just scrubs and unproven rookies

Unreliable and inconsistent goaltending

Lacking depth on offense: if matthews/marner/tavares/nylander don’t score, forget about any offensive production. And for a team that bad defensively(in the NHL, only the wild and the sharks have allowed more goals against than the leafs) it’s a serious problem because we need a deep and powerful offense providing consistent production every game (4 productive scoring lines) to make up for our defensive weakness. We can’t prevent goals effectively but we can score them easily because the best forwards on our leafs belong in the talented elite of the league.. So in order to win we must outscore our problems and mistakes. We are not a sound and smart team defensively and our goaltending is average at best so let’s win with offense. We will win by using our only strength.

Zero cap space

No ways to improve the team in the short/medium term

Team is Soft all around, zero grit, competitiveness, toughness and physicality on this squad

Coach who wore out his welcome

Free agent signings not paying dividends so far

Leafs have the worst goals against average at home in the league. Absolutely shameful:scust:
Only the wild and sharks are worse defensively. These two teams are the only other teams in the league who have allowed more goals against than the leafs.

And Toronto has probably one of the worst home record( wins/ losses) in the league.

Ok, I just checked the statistics, so far this year the Leafs are 3-4 at home but 3-1-2 on the road.They are still mediocre at home but not bottom tier but the truth is that they still play better away than at home.

Leafs won! Not a pretty Win but a win nonetheless. Marner and domi scored the goals in this shootout win.
