Post-Game Talk: Hit em with the 4 like AM34. Leafs lose 4th straight game 7 to Boston: 2-1

[rumman]

Maybe a Blue Jays type trade when we moved McGriff/Fernandez and got Alomar/Carter. Changed the landscape.

One can hope, they are high end players, it’s just this team is like ice cream and ketchup, apart they’re great, together, not so much……..

 

[sxvnert]

Bruins fans on their high horse after needing game #7 OT to win is laughable. Will enjoy the Panthers beating.

 

[cvaicunas]

Woòòò!!¡¡ let's.ruin pir lovers

That pos couldn't coach special team kids league

There are plenty of Wings fans that feel he held back the last contending Wing's core. A harder coach might be the right thing for this team, but he was probably the wrong one

 

[Evilhomer]

I think they had the right mix to win. Some of the pieces need to change, but the backend made it miserable for Bos. Domi and Bert provided secondary scoring. Too bad only Nylander could scorevin the last two games

I think it's difficult to make decisions on this defense without having seen them play against a more powerful offensive team. I have a feeling that guys like Edmundson and Boosh would have really been exposed against Florida, Carolina or the Rangers. Those guys are fine as bottom pairing guys, but there need to be serious upgrades above them.

To add to this, most players would have quickly shot the puck but only elite goal scorers like himself would exhibit the patience to wait and pull off that move before shooting.

Any NHLer holds and waits for Samsonov to bite there, if fans know he is garbage, the players do as well.

 

[Evilhomer]

If this season had a bright spot it was the emergence of Benoit, the bonus was getting him signed. The D is a joke, but the third pairing of Benoit and McCabe will be solid next season……..

The key being that it is third pair....

 

[DancingPanther]

I promise you guys I am a Philly sports fan coming in peace. Misery loves company. I was rooting for you guys.... f*** Marchand, f*** pasta, and f*** Boston sports fans

I made this for you as a token of commiseration

 

[BallardEra]

Most players go for a quick shot there IMO. Pasta showed some patience.

 

[Confucius]

Something to think about, we have 4 guys about to make 11 million plus each managed 6 goals in 7 games, Hyman who makes half of what one of them make has 7 goals. Just sad.

It's commendable you still show your face around here after you've been saying since Thanksgiving that we will be better than Boston this year. I hope no one gambled away their rent money listening to your predictions this year.

Know your limit and play within it

 

[ToneDog]

Boosh, Benoit and Ed had 23 of 29 hits by the Leafs D. Ed's hit on Pasta and Benoit's hit on Brad were eye popping.

 

[rumman]

The key being that it is third pair....

Yup, now they need to replace the top two pairings, hopefully Mo will waive………

 

[hockeyes]

I guess the Leafs are just lucky it wasn't Frederic or Debrusk dunking on them them again. At least we can pretend only a super star like no show Pasta could get it done LOL

100. The D was better than previous yrs, but when Lilly struggles to keep up with JVR, for example, it’s still a long way from contending.

 

[Gallagbi]

Not with that time, space and speed. It's perfect for a cut and gives him more time to control he puck

 

[Nineteen67]

I think they explore moving Rielly.

What would Reavo have done there?

Boston was the only playoff team they had a chance at beating.

 

[Strangle]

This is it. What I’m about to say is terrible, but by now frankly nothing short of the team being wiped out in a plane crash would be seen as a valid excuse

My advice to fellow leaf fans is get unattached to these players

Players come and players go. The team is all that matters

 

[Niagara Bill]

Only thing to say...57

 

[rumman]

I think they explore moving Rielly.

He’s been here the longest, he would benefit from a move to a team with a competent D, where his offensive forays will be less detrimental………

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Leafs would have won this game with Woll. Samsonov is just never positioned right.

Blaming the goalie when u score 12 goals in 7 games come on

Yeah, I was watching. Boston shoots the puck in for a forecheck, the puck flies out in front instead of going around like it would in any other f***ing arena, and Pastrnak is there to put it in.

That was a pass did u watch the game?

 

[scotian1]

It was a set play, if you notified Pasternak wheeled to get up to full speed and the defenceman aimed the puck to rebound out front. Home ice knowledge.

 

[rumman]

Sorry, we need a culture change. Keefe treated these guys with kid gloves.

Tre said this was a show me season, well time to put the kid gloves away and start making difficult decisions………
