[Johnston] Les coups sûrs continuent d’affluer vers la ligne bleue des Leafs : non seulement Oliver Ekman-Larsson a quitté le match d’hier soir avec un problème au bas du corps qui devrait lui faire manquer du temps, mais on craint également que Brandon Carlo ait modifié quelque chose.

Me rn:
We are so boned lol
The fuck. Is every player on our roster made of glass
Honestly lucky break this is happening in an Olympic year. This team needs the Olympic break BADLY.
At the same time – feel bad for Willy and OEL as it definitely seems more than possible they’re going to miss playing for Sweden. Particularly would feel bad for OEL as this would for sure be his last shot.

Keaton Verhoeff get ready to learn Maple Leafnese buddy
Thank god Rielly is okay. Was worried he was playing injured but confirmed just sucks.
Sir they hit the second defenceman.

This team is going to be running a Benoit-Myers 2nd pair soon.
Olympic break can’t come soon enough.
They need to not be buying at this deadline. Try to make the playoffs with the roster they have, but don’t be selling off assets for a rental when this is clearly not the year. Retool for next year.
We need another Troy Stecher regen, pronto
Do the Leafs practice near an electric substation too or what?
Being said, this isn’t the year. Sell sell sell!
You could say we’ve had bad luck but building your blue line around guys with a lot of miles on them this is bound to happen.

It’s just not our year, man.
This season is a total write off. Please sell someone for a couple picks at least
Good lord…
We’re fucked.
So pretty much call it on this season and sell what we can?
Man the hockey gods are really pushing hard for us to give up another high pick to the Bruins. I guess our fanbase hasn’t suffered enough
It was a GREAT idea to not start playing until second week of october.. Making an already condensed schedule even more stressed out. How many stars risk missing the olympics because 7 friendly games in two weeks before an 82 game season were super important?
It’s a dumb league from top to bottom.. hockey players are humble and hard working but they’re horrible at managing their careers.
Time to trade expiring deals to recoup some prospects and picks? A retool if you will? Perhaps under a different GM? A man can dream can’t he?
I really can’t think of a season in recent memory where we had so many injuries and the season isn’t even over yet. Feels like every week we have 2-3 injuries
They said it on OD a few weeks back- prior to our 13/14 of 16 games with points run…this could just merely be chalked up to being the « Year from Hell ». There’s been more than a few long-running playoff teams have seemingly off years in the midst of solid windows…and I’m just hoping that this is one of those. And the thing is we’re still very much in a playoff hunt on a really bad year.
There’s positives to be taken away- Matthews, for the first time in almost 18 months is looking like Auston Matthews again, the powerplay is clicking, and the PK has been very good. Goaltending is *getting* more consistent but there is still work to be done there. AND we’ve dug ourselves out of the massive hole. And we’ve done that despite being the NHL’s Walking Wounded.
Hopefully the Olympic break will give Stolarz a chance to get back into game shape as well, and rounds back into form.
Holy fuck can we get a break on the injuries….
We’re fucked.

Carlo’s play has been mediocre of late. A couple bad giveaways last night. I’m fine with Myers filling his spot, or maybe it’s time to give Danford a couple games with the big club.
Are these guys not drinking their milk? Carlo just came back.
With a defense unit that is getting up there in age, we really can’t be shocked about this.
Time to – Roast the forwards for a lack of production
This has been our problem for the past idk how many years. Defence sucks and can’t take a single hit to it.
Okay I’m on the trade for Dougie Hamilton bandwagon now.
Man, things could get ugly enough before the break that idk if it’ll be surmountable in March
sighs…. this season is fucking cursed. let’s just fast forward to october lol
Time to bring back Jeff Finger.
With these injuries piling up, they’re unlikely to make the playoffs. I just hope Rogers doesn’t force Treliving’s hand to make some desperate moves giving up more prospects and picks at the deadline to try and patch a sinking ship. Leafs playoff gates / streaming / broadcast revenues were likely budgeted for when buying out Bell’s shares.
