3 in 4. 15th in 28 days in February. Missing 2 of your best 4 defencemen. Still missing your valuable 3C. Back-up in net. I'd love to win this one but it was an uphill battle going in.
Lots of excuses there.
You can call it excuses but it's reality. Teams aren't on even footing. One is rested without major injuries and the other isn't. I realize you're upset that the defense looks way worse without Gardiner in it, but it's what everyone tried to tell you.

We are playing tonight without two of our top D men and a back up Goalie that is getting zero support.
Did you see Marincin on that goal? That's on him. I have a hard time believing Marincin is the best we have on the Marlies even with the injuries. Leafs can't survive with the D as it is tonight. Funny thing. Haven't heard hitching about Zaitsev yet lol.BrownRolo said:Leafs have played a decent game. They just have had some huge defensive blunders and that 4th goal was a weird one. Holl was on top of Sparks and Sparks had.no idea where the puck was. Hoping they can come back but I am not betting on it.
Yep and most sports I only watch in the playoffs, Raptors, got to be playoffs. MLS, I like to waste time but playoffs is high energy. Blue Jays, drink strong lemonade and waste a few hours in a transe like stupor, unless it is playoffs...then it becomes the best sport outside of hockey.Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:Well, to listen to talking heads at intermission the Leafs are in for it at playoff time. :

None of that matters holl and MM aren?t the difference. The difference is coaching and sparks. This is a playoff atmosphere. Babcock set the tone by starting sparks, that this isn?t a serious game. Everyone is playing with injuries and tough stretches. Those aren?t excuses.

Wow you are unbelievable, if Rosen had been available instead of the other two guys, then he may have scored one and set up another and we would at worst be tied and then you would say "what a great coach".lc9 said:Highlander said:Come on, I can't actually believe you believe that.

Couldn?t believe it more. The game has passed him.
They could've played better tonight, obviously, but I mean honestly what do you want? 82-0 regular season?Nik the Trik said:lc9 said:CarltonTheBear said:Zee said:Watching now, that was weak all around.

Or, you know, facts.
Highlander said:Hey Mr. Nine
I guess you may want Barry Trotz for our replacement coach. Let buy Babs out, make a deal with Lou and return Leafs to the glory days.
He's really bad. Worst D by far.CarltonTheBear said:Yeah, Marincin might need 3 or 4 more injuries to other guys before he's back in the line-up.
lc9 said:Good thing there are no back to back in the playoffs, Babcock wouldn?t feel comfortable playing a goalie back to back. Only coach in the league that doesn?t play his best goalie in big games.
