Post-Game Talk: Another day, another 1 goal loss (5-4 Sens in SO)

[I Am The Stig]

I'll take that loss. Gotta stay out of the box though. Also when I watched that 3 on 3 I was wishing we had Nylander on the team.

 

[mikebel111*]

Bozak played great but thats rare so nothing to read into
Kadri played well aside from 1 play. Kid is stepping up

 

[Zybalto]

Really good bounceback games from Phaneuf, Bozak and Holland.

 

[Mess]

Good effort to come back from 3-0 so the team deserved at least a point.

 

[LeafsMonster]

It's kind of fun watching a game when you don't care about the final outcome.

Haha I know. Unexplored territory as a leafs fan.

Rielly and bozak really turned it on in the second half

 

[Raymondo316]

Why not just continue OT till someone scores

That 5 mins of 3v3 was amazing & we end the game with a ****** shootout

 

[Darkside Blue]

Really good bounceback games from Phaneuf, Bozak and Holland.

Yeah, looked like Phaneuf was actually skating hard a couple of times. That might be Babber's best coaching, ever.

 

[StanleyTOR]

Wow. Dion's assist on the Bozak goal though, 200-feet pass, haven't seen that before from him.

 

[OvenMittz*]

Bozak was a beast this game, you can tell he really wanted it. Much different player from preseason, looks like he dusted off the cobwebs and just has to trust himself without kessel.

My best leaf of the game. Needs to keep this effort up, hes fighting his way back to the top line.

I think he looks better with JVR than Kadri does, but then again hes had a bunch of season with JVR.

I can't stand the "fans" that are happy with this loss.

I get you want a high pick and all, but how can you watch that game and not be sad that we lost?

I'm a huge leafs fan and I do see the big picture, but how do you guys root for the leafs to lose? I just can't do it

 

[hockeyes]

Ottawa was outplayed easily tonight, I'd be shocked if they manage to make the playoffs without some big changes.

 

[jjjshab]

Really good bounceback games from Phaneuf, Bozak and Holland.

Literally clapped for the Holland goal. One, because it was a dope goal. Two, because it was from Peter ****ing Holland. 10/10

 

[Clark4Ever]

I was really rooting for Boyes to put it away in OT. He's been a solid addition.

 

[KGL]

Almost a week off now? What a bummer...

I don't think most are hoping for a loss, but are rather not expecting wins. Big diff

 

[StanleyTOR]

This. He really can be a 3C for the Leafs for many years to come. Has size, has a mean streak, has some offensive game, and responsible. I like Holland a lot as a Leaf.

 

[Zybalto]

I say eliminate the "bonus point" or ties and just play 3 on 3 till it ends like the playoffs. It would always be under a period but the action would be amazing. No worries about loser points and no skills comp to decide playoff positions.

It's not so much wanting lose as much as it is not caring about the outcome. I just want an honest effort night in and night out. No result based expectations.

That is, for now. Ask me the same question 2 or 3 years from now, I'll probably give you a different answer.

 

[senor martinez]

Komarov was once again one of our clearly best players. Getting that first liner job... doing everything. Hitting, scoring... everything. The man is a beast. Captain material.

I mean.... he didn't score.

I'll cheer for them until its mathematically, or extremely improbable for them to make the playoffs, until then I'm with yeah.

That was an exciting game to watch.

 

[tokyoite]

the good news is we scored 4 goals

 

[deletethis]

Is 3 on 3 going turn into this?

 

[Pyromaniac3]

Other than first 10mins of 2nd period, team played awesome. I haven't enjoyed a Leafs game for a long time and I am liking Babcock more and more.

 

[trickster]

Keep your eyes on the prize boys... These points will be totally undesirable in April.

Embrace the pain.
