This channel is becoming one of my favorite post-game rituals. 😂 I thought you were a bit harsh on some of the boys initially, but I'm starting to see you tell it like it is.
Atleast Mcmann got me some points on Tim Hortons ! Lol 😆 seriously though, what the hell is wrong with the Leafs lately? Even when they win, they don't play very good at all..The Goalies are the ONLY reason we're even around the top of the Atlantic period. As far as Mathews, I think he's been battling injuries all year, even when he's been playing.. something has been off with him all season. I'm starting to worry about the longevity of his career, he's very injury prone. It's a shame too, because he's one of the best goal scorers on the planet and definitely the best that's ever wore a Leafs jersey. Just our Luck though, us Leafs fans can't have anything nice 😔🤦....Great video as always bud! Keep em coming.
So far this season I grade the Leafs skaters a C and the Leafs goaltending an A. We are in first place not so much cause we are playing well but because our goaltending is stealing games for us and our division rivals suck even more than us somehow.
@ they’ve played 6 games over the span of the last 10 days. 3 in the last 4, yes they’re tired, but they also won 4/6 of those games. Maybe the team should try harder regardless of tiredness, but you don’t want to risk injury.
It's odd to see the confusion on well seasoned players. Sometimes just standing there looking around like they don't know where they should be or what they should focus on. There are like 2-3 players you can count on from night to night.
I agree the Leafs have been poor for weeks and have just been lucky to be winning, they need a big trade to shake up things or it will be another early playoff exit. I feel bad for Tanev he must be wondering what he got himself into playing with a bunch of pretty boys!
Third line Cowan-Minten- Grebenkin, try P.Myers, M.Rifai for now until TD instead of no lead safe Reilly and McCabe. Come the trade deadline I want Tavares, Reilly, McCabe, Kampf, Jarnkrok, Holmberg, Reeves (approx 27m) gone for 2 decent puck moving D men @ 9m each a C @ 9m and picks. Bring on the GD cats.
on the strength of sandin/Reilly alone, Dubas can be declared a rubbish GM. Sandin 4G/9A for 4 million Reilly 4G/13 A for 7.5. it's CRAZy (Let's not look at the pen's d,,,,,, graves, crap, letang, past it, EK, useless, Gryzlek, destructive)
This is a real result. This is what this team really is. No goalie bail out. Poorly coached. Low shot count again. Don’t look now but here comes Boston and Tampa. Leafs will finish 4th in division.
how he still doesnt know how to break up a 2 on 1 with 2 of the best to do it as teamates is mind boggling. his in abaility to qb a pp is astounding yet he keeps getting trotted out so he can kill all momentum and telegraph his pass or a weak as shit shot attempt that ALWAYS turns into an odd man rush going the other way. jfc. how do the coaches not see this shit
You just described Reilly perfectly. But you also forgot he can't even carry the puck out of his own zone unless he's got 50' of clear ice ahead. He's gotta have some dirt on Shanahan because I can't believe management and coaches, all professionals' can't see it!
So much shite hockey lately, it's becoming unwatchable. Yes, Domi is not a center, please tell Berube. Rielly should be traded for anything just to free up cap space.
Bruins are done. They’ll miss by 5-10 points. Sens are on an unsustainable streak and the lightning are washed. The panthers are gassed. Leafs first in the division by a mile
Hey at least the Leafs are winning. My favorite team the Bruins are in rebuild and probably won't make the playoffs. Be happy Leaf fans, they're a great team and can't believe I am saying this, I hope they get first place over the Florida Panthers (I can't stand the Panthers).
@@Orpheusftw Well, it be nice don't get me wrong by any means but Bruins are on the decline ever since they won the President's Trophy and the hangover is far from over. The Leaf's are in the best shape and losing a few games ain't the end of the world. I am just being realistic. Florida is the common enemy for the Leaf's and Bruins right now. Florida is on cruise control to the playoffs then they turn it up!
@@JetSetRadiumFuture All three of those are in my top-5 favourite teams. I guess I don't care enough about rivalries. 😂 I respect the hell out of Boston though, and am a big fan of Marchand, Swayman, Pastrnak... and Zodorov. Wouldn't be a playoff without 'em.
Sorry Bill but you have nailed it bud.. if not for the goaltending on most nights this group wouldn't be looking so good. How would anyone think that a line's playing light's out when you score three goals but let three goals in when their on the ice how does anyone think that's good. Are you fucking kidding me.
You can't tell me that Tre is actually considering paying JT between 6 & 7mil. If so it's time for him to go. When it comes to JT he would be the last player I'd be talking to about a contract. I'd be signing the player's that make this group much better and what is left is what I would offer take it or leave it.
Okay Bill I'll bounce this off you since most think I'm crazy. This is what I'd like to see, Knies, Papi, Domi, keep Patch, JT, Nylander, here's the crazy part McMann, Marner, Robertson, now out of the player's that Berube auditioned for the middle of the third line Marner is their best fit. Other than size Marner brings all the other attributes. But out of them all Marner's defensively sound and nobody on this team makes play's like Marner does. Then Dewar, Holmberg, Lorentz, that is what I'd like to see, why not give it a look, you've got nothing to lose.
The ones complaining about your reviews, are exactly that they are, casual fans that look at score sheets and catch the odd game. They have no clue how really average and bad this team really is for the past 9 seasons. Yes good in the reguler season, but god awful in the post season when it gets hard and tuff. This team is soft as babyshit, the core 4 is the worst for this softness. The only one that goes to the net is Tavares but his feet are failing him as the older he gets. Still has great hands but his speed and ability are done.
Trade Rielly and get a real defender for that 7mil where's all that offense that was going to be released now they got him that perfect defensive defender to partner with. He's to busy being a family man now, hockey just pays the bills now for Rielly
You are the only Leaf commentator I can listen to, you tell it like it is! Keep it up.
It’s nice hearing someone who’s def been watching this team since probably the late 80’s.
This channel is becoming one of my favorite post-game rituals. 😂
I thought you were a bit harsh on some of the boys initially, but I'm starting to see you tell it like it is.
its fun to watch as a non-Leafs fan lmao
Bill isn't negative, He's just very honest
Subscribed! Keep them coming brother 👍
The Makarov Calder Dis, nice touch. Keep up the good work Bill.
Your right on the money bill
You are right again Bill. They won’t go far in the playoffs playing like this!
Atleast Mcmann got me some points on Tim Hortons ! Lol 😆 seriously though, what the hell is wrong with the Leafs lately?

Yup and when the goalies have an off night/don't carry the team , they look embarrassing.
Zero zero zero zero! 🤣

You are 100% correct about the no.3 line defensively! Horrible!!!! Reilly and McCabe no good either!!
You called it. I feel sorry for any Leafs defenceman paired with Reilly.
Further proof that when the Leafs goalies have an off night/don't carry the team/steal a game , they look flat out embarrassing.
Mitch pulls up in the corners. TRADE HIM ! We have too many guys like that and go watch florida! they got a CUP
I was at this game as my first leaf game and nhl game it was so sad
Totally agree with you! This team sucks right now…….just terrible to watch!
I am shocked the leafs are where they are in the standings. They need to figure it out. Feb/March are going to be tough months
A Zero, Zero ah ZEROOOOOOO
BILL for leaf coach😊
This was a dead tired team that could not do anything at this point.
how are they dead tired? do all of the other teams not play games or is it just the leafs? stop making excuses
@ they’ve played 6 games over the span of the last 10 days. 3 in the last 4, yes they’re tired, but they also won 4/6 of those games. Maybe the team should try harder regardless of tiredness, but you don’t want to risk injury.
Shanahan's team should be his hand and five fingers
It's odd to see the confusion on well seasoned players. Sometimes just standing there looking around like they don't know where they should be or what they should focus on. There are like 2-3 players you can count on from night to night.
Domi was -3. Robertson is AWFUL defensively.
Truthz. Some great PDC action thanks for the heads up
75🦾🤡🤳
You're the Billy Smith of leaf podcasters
I agree the Leafs have been poor for weeks and have just been lucky to be winning, they need a big trade to shake up things or it will be another early playoff exit. I feel bad for Tanev he must be wondering what he got himself into playing with a bunch of pretty boys!

Then who plays on 3rd line?
Leafs lose (snooze).
Habs win.
A good night for hockey. ❤
on the strength of sandin/Reilly alone, Dubas can be declared a rubbish GM.
Sandin 4G/9A for 4 million
Reilly 4G/13 A for 7.5. it's CRAZy
(Let's not look at the pen's d,,,,,, graves, crap, letang, past it, EK, useless, Gryzlek, destructive)

Reilly always stick checking
Cant he take the body a little more.
stick check with a reach attempt, soft
how he still doesnt know how to break up a 2 on 1 with 2 of the best to do it as teamates is mind boggling. his in abaility to qb a pp is astounding yet he keeps getting trotted out so he can kill all momentum and telegraph his pass or a weak as shit shot attempt that ALWAYS turns into an odd man rush going the other way. jfc. how do the coaches not see this shit

Leafs better look behind them as Sens, Bruins, Lighting are coming. Could miss playoffs as they have been lucky and luck will run out.
Bruins are done. They’ll miss by 5-10 points. Sens are on an unsustainable streak and the lightning are washed. The panthers are gassed. Leafs first in the division by a mile
Hey at least the Leafs are winning. My favorite team the Bruins are in rebuild and probably won't make the playoffs. Be happy Leaf fans, they're a great team and can't believe I am saying this, I hope they get first place over the Florida Panthers (I can't stand the Panthers).
You think the Bruins won't make the playoffs? I wouldn't count them out by any means, yet.

How cow Reeves can't even skate anymore. Why would you play this guy when goals are nerded.
Zero, Zero
He can't even win a board battle, he's less than useless.
Who did Dubas protect again to expose Jared McCann? Sure would be nice to have him up the middle right now wouldn't it?

Fanatic Bill, I love your commentary 😊
Trade Rielly for O Rielly
You mean O'reilly
You should be getting more hits than LFR
Leafs 😅🤣😂😊😛😅😆😁
Maxime to wack-off
Keep your voice down Bill, you'll wake your Mom up. Get a job and move out.
