Post-Game Talk: Hellebuyck and the Paper Jets beat leafs 4-3

[Griffin76]

Should've played the whole game with the goalie pulled.

 

[On-the-Fly]

I think, all in all, Id rather have Hellebuyck than Andersen.

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

discuss

I'd rather not.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Leafs have a very clear and glaring disadvantage in net.

 

[Steven1562]

Better goalie won. Hellebuyck stole that game and Andersen continues to fall short. He will shrink in the playoffs again.

 

[IPS]

Their goalie made the big saves, ours didn't.


This isn't a recording, is it?

 

[PromisedLand]

so just caught the last minute of the game. marner the shinpad warrior how did we even play the entire game? looking at the boxscore looks like we outshot them. so did freddy suck or did we have defensive breakdowns?

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Not sure the better team won this one.

Goaltender's part of the team.

 

[leafsfan5]

If we go into the playoffs with Freddy as our number one and we play the Jets I’m very very concerned

 

[Schooner]

If it wasn't our third loss in a row it would just be chalked up to us losing a game we should have won, but when you are on a losing streak you have to answer for crap play (Andersen)

 

[Marshy]

Not even mad.

Andersen is gone after this year this game sealed it. The Andersen-less future is bright.

 

[Critical13]

It's crazy how much better the Leafs are than the Jets, and yet the gap between Hellebuyck and Andersen is even bigger

The Jets are a Helle injury away from being Ottawa-esque.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Next game aim for the twine, not the pads.

We didn't have much heat on the shots either. Just one of those games. The goals against were regrettable.

 

[MSZ]

I think, all in all, Id rather have Hellebuyck than Andersen.

Save for a couple of guys, majority of us would rather have Hellebuyck too.

 

[Gallagbi]

Frustrating loss, but I thought we showed good push back.

Looking for better defensive plays from Rielly and some smarter decisions by Marner who didn't make a good decision on that final shot and didn't read the GWG. Good news is he found a ton of chances in the third.

 

[34]

Their goalie made the big saves, ours didn't.


This isn't a recording, is it?

What else is new. Andersen at his finest.

 

[Coachcorner]

<Andersen played aaaight dawg. But where the F is our tender Campbell???! No? Stay healthy, for a while sucka. You are a good goalie, so why not play ice hockey? Fool. Take that muthaF.

 

[Bellefour20]

All I got was crickets a month ago for being upset at seeing the same old habits as previous seasons. Welcome everyone, this season isn't going to be a cake walk or some big leap forward as once thought.

 

[Stephen]

The Jets weren't very impressive at all and Hellebuyck stood on his head when he had to. But at the same time, the Leaf didn't look that good and Andersen wasn't really the one to blame. A lot of brainfarts interspersed into the play.

 

[CelticDruid]

M. Reilly can't defend.

 

[glue]

Leafs need to finish better, they could have scored 10 goals!! It’s frustrating that literally Matthews and Hyman are the only players who can score. Andersen needs to stop that 4th goal, bail your team out atleast once dude

 

[IPS]

I mean it’s hard not to get worried with 3 in a row lost.

That said, if this wasn’t the third loss in a row we’d all just tip our hats to Helly and write this one off as good goaltending / not enough puck luck.

The skaters - I'm not worried whatsoever, we generate HDSC's better than any team in the league.

Our goalie situation? Will 100% keep costing us unless it gets addressed. Dubie had a fantastic offseason, but his wart was not addressing this.

 

[corrupted]

We need to draft a f***ing goalie

 

[supermann_98]

At least our losses this year haven't been blowouts like we used to have a lot of with babs behind the bench. Most losses are on shaky goaltending and Andersen usually the culprit

 

[TMLegend]

Matthews with the hatty at least
