Post-Game Talk: Hot Garbage, Leafs Lose 3-2 In OT

[Wafflewhipper]

he is the most likely Seattle pick from the Leafs.

I know, it sickens me. They are just letting him go. I’ll be P!ssed if it happens we lose him for nothing

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Last night was 1st game Keefer rewarded Dermy ... hope it continues if Muzzy and Holl keep up this crappy level of past 2 games .. this is pro hockey and you go with da better guy when he deserves it ... it is why I am so hesitant on Dermy because i know he has it in him

Muzzin looks like sh!t to me too.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Lots of us are negative so i just want to say Riddick played really good. Campbell/ Riddick sharing the net next year wouldn’t be to bad with a really solid 3rd with them. The two of them are battlers

 

[m1ker]

I wouldn't put too much weight on the losses. It's clear that Keefe is juggling the lines a bit to see his best options. He's also giving Joe an honest chance before he scratches him.

Muzzin looks like sh!t to me too.

Da truth hurts but it is da truth ... I don't know why but past 2 games he might as well have stayed in dressing room

But he sucked all night long ... he had 2/3 decent shifts in 3rd with Matty that's it man ... if all he can do is be a part timer with Matty it is not enough

Holl and Muzzin both look gassed. If you're prepared to play Thorton, you should be prepared to play Lijegren/Sanind/Maranicn for a few games to give them some rest.

Haha yeah, that was weak. Kerfoot was good again like usual this year. Works his tail off every game this year. They should all have a look at his game. He doesn’t take a shift off.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If you know how to stop it, maybe you know how to make it unstoppable?

It's pretty clear he doesn't

I know I will be in minority...but I'm not a huge fan of matthews away from puck. Mcdavid is a much greater player away from the puck then matthews...matthews effort in the ot that led to goal was weak.

 

[Magic Man]

Definitely didn't mind Sabourin. He looks like a decent skater who can punish guys in his limited ice. Good fighter. He's more of an old school player. Like a Colton Orr. But, he looked good.

 

[Scott r]

I'm 55..bring back the 70s hockey players with clean shaven etc..cashman..orr..etc...tjorton with huge grey beard looks like a degen

 

[Scott r]

The back to back nonsense they r tired is bs...utter bs.

That was weak. That was a outlier. He’s twice the player defensively McDavid is. Not to even mention how much of a better goal scorer he is. Just try and fathom this team without him.

Although people think he is great every game he is still learning and he takes games off a lot more than people care to admit ... but so does McJesus too .. i think it is next to impossible to go full out in this kind of compressed schedule they are playing ... go watch Matty's full game on April 7 against Habs ... wow wow wow ... total domination of entire game ... issue is consistency and he is getting better every year ... progression is there in his play

Was Calgary on the second of a back to back too? If so then no excuse I agree... but if Calgary was rested then I'm pretty sure stats indicate it is an excuse.

Exactly...... and he gets sh!t on on this board. I would have him in my bottom 6 so fast people’s heads would spin. The guys a competitor

 

[therealkoho]

For all those blaming Rielly for that OT goal, it was clearly, clearly just a terrible defensive effort by Matthews and Marner:



Garbage/useless gambling in the neutral zone, both forwards gambling on the puck carrier so unnecessarily. Then Matthews stops skating when, even after the bad gambling, he could have caught up with Gaudreau.

both of them sleepwalking like they had better places to be, the only upside is that it rarely if ever happens to the two of them and when it has it's even rarer that it both of them at the same time

They got a point and it really wasn't deserved, just be happy that tonights' game isn't their usual fare

He was good and Keefe nailed him to the bench. What have we got another f***** babcock on our hands here. The guy is a winner with proper instruction. Do i really think for a second Engvall should get 12 minutes of do nothing hockey and Sabourine who cares about his career gets 4 minutes. Something seriously amiss with Keefe.

Rittich got us a point.Kerfoot was awesome the entire game. Again...

Our PP is clueless. Too many times did I see Marner with a good chance to shoot only to see him try to pass or fire a muffin. Thinking you can't have two muffin men on the PP. Move 44 to PP2. 16 in place of Rielly and add Spezza to the right side.

 

[123offtheglass]

This has bugged me for a while, why isn't assistant coach Paul Maclean on the bench, or is he but I somehow haven't noticed him? Former Jack Adams trophy winner, I remember him being pumped when he was named assistant coach to the Leafs; is he just some sort of practice coach or is COVID restricting him from being on the bench with them?

Yeah they really need someone who can shoot from the point - Rielly isn't the guy
Marner may be too predictable
