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

[ConnorTO]

one of those games the leafs deserved to win

but tough ****

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.

A 10 minute 3 on 3 OT would end the overwhelming majority of games. The shootout is bogus.

 

[Macman]

That was the loudest crowd I've heard in Toronto in a while. Maybe because this team actually seems to try. Entertaining game.

Good loss. Bozak showing that he's actually a player, as much as some people here say he isn't. Penalty trouble killed us, aside from that it was a decent game. That's probably another loss that Babs will talk highly of, which I think will become a recurring theme this season.

Bozak looked the best i have seen since his initial season. His coverage was good,his feet were always moving and he was positioned well on both sides of the round puck(kidding) he was positionally sound offensively and defensively all night except for the snooze i had in the first period i watch him play right good.

There was more compete in that game than the last 30 games of 2014-15.

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

 

[Zybalto]

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

a fan enjoys watching their team win, end of discussion

if the leafs happen to lose then so be it... but to wish for a loss is just ********, go watch baseball or another crappy show

Horrible first half, fantastic second half.

Flirted with doing something else at one point, glad I stuck with it really fun game!

Even checked out the Sens GDT and to say they were annoyed at the comeback would be putting it lightly

I can take the losses as long as there's entertainment, tonight was a perfect example of an easy to take loss for me.

They might need to practice a bit of that 3 on 3 strategy though, Leafs had tons of opportunity there.

it was a good loss. they were down, they battled back, dominated but then loss.

they weren't hemmed in (too often), they didn't tuck their tails between the legs. why be sad that we lost? it was a good played game bummer result, but not even mad about how they played.

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

Embrace the pain.

It will take at least 10-15 games for the team to get used to Babcock's system and for line combinations/defense pairings to be solidified. Don't be surprised if the Leafs get better as the season progresses.

Reimer lost it for the Leafs again.

People getting upset that people aren't getting upset. Must be millennials

Bozak was actually a dogged and formidable forechecker tonight. Several times he used his body to angle Sens off the puck and take possession for the Leafs. Bozak and Komarov may be a good pair to keep together.

 

[Nithoniniel]

This feels odd to say, but I liked everything Dion and Bozak did tonight. They both had great games.

 

[Stats01]

honestly not surprised, once Lupul missed I had a feeling Hoffman would score. Another loss, so used to it right now. Oh well

I agree. I want a win at all times, however, I do understand the need to rebuild with high draft picks. I just won't ever cheer for our Leafs to lose, ever!

 

[Nithoniniel]

Reimer lost it for the Leafs again.

Our complete and utter lack of discipline lost the game for us.

He looks like he lost some serious weight. Trimmed down, looks faster out there

Wow, really? That's crazy.

 

[Gallagbi]

Discipline or soft calls? Most of the penalties were plays that happen 15-20 times a night.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

You guys think Bernier goes back in?

Feels like a goalie controversy could be back legitimately. I could see Reimer getting the next start, but not sure.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Our complete and utter lack of discipline lost the game for us.

But our PK has to be much better than it's been thus far.
