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

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
The team has also been constantly outshooting the opponents of late. Ya some shots are junk, but they still get some high quality chances. The team hasn't really been embarrassed since maybe the Ottawa collapse? It's just being outdueled in net in certain games. Overall, team has been playing pretty well game-to-game.
 
I think we played really well, close to dominating. Lots and lots of chances. Kerfoot and Marner missed excellent scoring chances. Freddy was the difference maker, in the negative sense. Though I was pretty frustrated with Holl, Reilly, and Marner, too. Hellebuck stole it, credit where its due.

That said in terms of defensive breakdown Rielly messed up badly on the last goal. Unforced turnover and then does nothing to cover anyone (he was deep in our d zone). Holl was struggling all night. Matthews made a really dumb deflection with his skate, like a 3ft high kick, just to deflect it slightly and f*** with Freddy.

Thanks. so technically even with matthews not able to shoot comfortably he scored a hatty :laugh:

Actually, I am having an interesting observation and experience today. Since I did not watch the game and we lost; I am not as hot and pissed off.

I am sure if I was watching the game I would be ready to punch someone LOL

quite franly given this thread the worst day ever in recent leafs history seems to be the day we traded Tuukka Rask

JFJ cursed our goaltending with that trade. He could’ve f***ing gotten Raycroft off waivers if he’d just waited but noooooo the f***er just had to trade for him. Now he works for the Bruins (or at least did). f*** him.

Some players have a knack for making backbreaking and deflating plays (or non-plays) and we have one or two. Andersen is definitely making Dubas' offseason decision easier.

Aside from Andersen, holy crap Kerfoot how many chances is he going to miss. He also isn't great on the PK.
I felt for Kerfoot on that first PK. Worked his ass off, has a great shift, then a random tip ends up in our net. Feels like he's 85% of a solid player but can't make that last jump
 
Feels bad man.

3 straight regulation losses. Happy for Matthews, 1st to 20 goals.

It would be nice to have a goalie like Hellebuyck. Jesus, he's somethin'.

Leafs played good but made some really poor choices that Jets capitalized on.

Need to get the next game.
 
Well 3rd game in a row where we outplay the other team but their goalie makes the big saves... Freddy just has to be better. Have felt more comfortable with Hutch and Campbell in net.
 
Holl tonight everytime the puck came to him:

Unfortunate because there isn't one goal where you say "You have to stop that" but Helly had a ton of "how did he stop that" moments where Andersen didn't have many if any at all.


even when he did make the save they didn't look like he was confident in making them

his technique and positioning have been less then stellar this year, yes he's put in some excellent work this year but just nowhere near enough of it

without looking it up how many games can you actually say Freddie stole?

I'd say that Ottawa collapse doesn't happen with adequate goaltending either. A few saves and we coast to a win, but everything ended up in the back of our net

First 3 game losing streak in a long while. Its bound to happen. It sucks but the next 2 games become really important. Hopefully they show up ready to go.

He was just BS lucky as well Jets had two shots on at least half the net when he was swimming around in one sequence.
