Post-Game Talk: And4son

[Cap'n Flavour]

We got a point!

Freddy didn't do much to earn his spot back .857.

He looked like an arthritic ECHLer, so he did a great deal to cement his spot on the taxi squad.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

I'd like to blame Marner for that last goal but at some point you have to point the finger at the coach that puts that 3x3 liability out there time after time. Meh, one more and on to the playoffs.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Marner straight griefed that lmfao

Gotta catch the flight to Winnipeg.

 

[GQS]

Considering Andersen was out for 7 weeks, thought he was fine. Some strange bounces and plays around him.

No HE WASN'T FINE. He was his same terrible usual self. Not saying the team was absolute stellar in front of him, but he was BAD and that 3rd goal was HORRIBLE. Put Andersen out to pasture already. If he plays the Leafs will have no chance of winning in the playoffs.

 

[Tlo1]

Stupid plays by Marner all game long. Also Rielly's clownish attempt at blocking the cross ice pass.

Doesn’t he know that you have to lay down and not let that pass get across?

 

[GardinerTheForward]

4nderson should have been the title.

SEN

 

[Alamo Leafer]

I know this was on Marner but I say it again: "F Reilly".
Him & Andersen can't be relied upon to bail us out. They're gonna F us over again in the POs ffs!

 

[MSZ]

I’m glad he did that in this game and not 2 games from now.

You never know. Remember how he admitted that he had played an awful game in game 1 vs CBJ?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Marner is always capable of making brilliant plays like that lone ranger rush clanking the wrister off the crossbar on the PK earlier in the game to almost make it 2-0 as well as those highly 'creative' little touches with the puck that result in a cascade of headaches. It's a very fine line between creativity, chaos, high IQ and bad choices.

I just really don't like the idea of two players who will play around 25 minutes a game who can make a game losing play on any given shift. Marner does bring more than enough to make up for his blunders, but those become a lot more costly in a short playoff series. I don't think Rielly brings enough offensive ability to make up for his awful defense though

 

[Leafsfan74]

Ottawa's Stanley Cup was tonight

Quite a disparity between motivations tonight. I am surprised Leafs earned a point.

Leaving the game without injuries was the real victory.

 

[Stephen]

No one injured, the point is a bonus.

Marner way too soft on that play. If that were a fringe player he might be out of the lineup next game. Get it out of the system before next week

For the most part he has eliminated these soft plays this year., but not tonight. In OT it's an auto loss two times out of three.

Give me more Simmonds on the PP and more Foligno along the boards. Both will contribute heavily post season I am predicting.

Marner always gets in trouble when when he underestimates who he's out there against and gets a little too fancy/sloppy with the puck management.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Because Ottawa steps up to play us and leafs don't give a f*** about stepping back up.
That's what it is.

Tonight especially so.

 

[Stephen]

Was this the first time the Leafs lost with Nick Foligno in the lineup?

 

[frizzer1]

The only thing that mattered in this game was Andersen’s performance.
And he was weak as usual.
What Marner and the others did was of no consequence.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Lmao some things never change. Blind pass by Marner, Rielly can’t defend the 2 on 1, Andersen can’t make the big save. Like clockwork.

Ya it’s a bit hard to be critical of Andy and Mo on that play. I will say, they both played that terribly though. Mo especially lol. He didn’t even have to sauce the pass it was that bad. And Freddy, tougher save but totally doable. The major f*** up is obviously marner, but a strong play from Freddy or mo keeps that game going. C’est La Vie... literally the most meaningless game all year

 

[socko]

Freddy needs to have this put on a t-shirt.

Fred should hook up with Shaggy and do a commercial like they had in the Superbowl.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

That was hard to watch. Matthews tacking on another was nice to put us to overtime. Marner deal was a blind back pass in overtime in your own zone. Yeah it’s stupid as f***

Marner has to be more smarter and less fancy

 

[Coachcorner]

I want to say please fix the PP but we have 1 game left in the season, I'm just gonna accept the fact that we have no PP plan

Its not good enough sire. You already know. Tavares should ALWAYS, ALWAYS like the italians say with the accent be on the first unit. Our best shoota. But yeah, other moves could be made.

We still hard though. Comin agg.

 

[Gallagbi]

Looked like we were going through the motions.

Marner, Rielly and Andy were particularly bad tonight. Only one that matters is Fred right now

 

[saffronleaf]

Stupid plays by Marner all game long. Also Rielly's clownish attempt at blocking the cross ice pass.

how has he still not figured out how to block the pass on a 2-on-1? I mean I don't expect him to be as good as Brodie at it but come on

 

[Once]

Freddy doesn’t have it. Campbell makes the big saves when we need jt most. Meaningless game really — bring on the playoffs

 

[Carltons Cup]

Its been nice Freddie, but don't let the door hit you on the way out.

And turn off the light. Thanks.

 

[crump]

You never know. Remember how he admitted that he had played an awful game in game 1 vs CBJ?

Let’s hope he learned, and we have Nash now so he’s allowed to give it to him.

 

[Leaf4Life]

Freddy in post game interview: "I'm happy with how I played. The other team got some fortunate bounces but I don't see what I could have done differently."

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Rielly and Andersen utterly brutal tonight

Andersen's done as a Leaf and Rielly should be traded in the offseason before he also walks for nothing.
