Post-Game Talk: Keefe Throws Game, Leafs Lose 4-1

[Americanadian]

Nylander disappeared after that Eyssimont hit.

 

[Smif]

Play Woll every game until the playoffs

If he doesn't get his game on track by the playoffs - this team is toast. Samsonov cannot be our playoff starter.

Woll is a .500 goalie, at least Sammy with his weak SV% wins games.

 

[Blanka]

This team doesn't have it. Marner and Matthews won't be enough. Neither will our slightly above average goaltending. We need $11m and $11.5m to show up. They won't so we're already done.

That makes no F'ing sense.. Samsonov is the only goalie to win us a round in 20 years. If anything he HAS to be out starter as we know he can get it done

 

[PromisedLand]

Me: Hey Keefe what was that

Keefe: Chess not checkers

Me: huh? can you at least explain why do you keep forcing Nylander and Tavares

Keefe: LOL

Me: Ok Keefe what is 2 + 2

Keefe: Purple

Me: Keefe that was a math question

Keefe: Noob

Me:

That makes no F'ing sense.. Samsonov is the only goalie to win us a round in 20 years.

The stats say he's one of the worst goalies in the NHL this season, and that's with his 'hot streak'

 

[Maple Leaf]

How do you lose?

 

[ULF_55]

Started watching best team in league.

Stars score.

 

[PromisedLand]

Jen Boetril is having a conniption fit about all the hits and fights

Fire Keefe

Admit it Wave

You like your FILL of Botterill

Woll was putrid. Just awful. four garbage goals that should’ve been stopped are the difference in this game.

 

[Aashir]

Woll allowing the first shot in again.

Keefe playing the 4th line against Tampa’s 1st which features an MVP candidate.

Keefe sticking with McMann-Tavares-Nylander when they’ve been terrible the past few games.

The Kid Line can’t be relied upon to score every game, and the fourth line isn’t built to score and isn’t built to matchup against the other teams top lines, least of all with Brodie as one of the defensemen with them. Marner can’t come back soon enough. Gotta re-jig line 2.

At least Matthews scored again and we weren’t shutout. PK is still going strong too.

the world ain't falling but their are concerns that either cannot be fixed (Woll's struggles) or Keefe just doesn't seem to care about (2nd line). If Marner takes domi's spot then keefe will have shown for the 5th? year in a row he has no clue what is wrong with the team

 

[wingman75]

I didn’t think they were that bad.
Needed a few saves.

Tampa was the better team from the second on imo by winning most of the battles that mattered. Goaltending made a significant difference.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Keefe with sheer stupidity in a tied game. They have the better coach, goalie, and #1 dman. Pray that Samsonov remains healthy or we’re screwed in the playoffs. Don’t like Rielly’s playing rover all over the ice. McCabe has to relax and just play defence. 2nd line was absolute crap tonight.

 

[PromisedLand]

Felt like a game where Tampa just overpowered us in key areas. Namely, along the boards, and in front of the net.

Tampa kept the game to the wings after the first period, where our guys are more than happy to stay, because it's easy.

PP once again absolute trash despite the goal, but that could have been any random faceoff.

Woll was not good. He looked like an AHL goalie tonight. The shooters were seeing a lot of net.

Vasi was great in the first, and our enthusiasm to compete fell off after Tampa took the lead. At least the PK is functioning. I actually thought the D as a group were okay and the forwards were totally outclassed in all zones other than Matthews. Bert was not awful.

Not a good showing. Waste of a great effort from Matthews.

Leafs play perimeter hockey, while opposition turns opportunistic chances into sure goals

how often have we seen this movie?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Why did we lose to that team?

Never thought I’d say this in December but Sammy has clawed back a season after playing himself almost out of the league. Woll plays a more aesthetically comforting game and has obvious tools and upside but not our playoff starter.

I’d even venture to say there’s room for a Matt Murray Hail Mary before giving the starters job to Woll in the playoffs.

[BTP]

anyways we wash that team with a competent goalie in net. its f***ing clear we are the superior team 5 on 5.

sit your budget Ali Express ass blue and white jerseys down. covid champs.

 

[Stephen]

I didn’t think they were that bad.
Needed a few saves.

They were just slowly shovelled out of the game. Wasn’t a blowout or a humiliation but for their weekly scheduled stinker it was more boring than awful.

 

[Darch]

I've noticed alot of floating and lazy stick checks from Nylander lately.

He's been doing that his entire career. He's the most useless guy in the D-zone this team has had in a long time.

 

[Roo]

Game came down to just two things, we made the mistakes defensively (missed coverage and bad pinch), and Vasilevsky was much better than Woll. On to the next one…

 

[Jojalu]

Leafs play perimeter hockey, while opposition turns opportunistic chances into sure goals

how often have we seen this movie?

They just scored 5 goals against Florida two days ago all from less than 5 feet in front of the net.

 

[Antropovsky]

Reaves was our best player.

f***ed up Jeannot

.... I was hoping this fight was gonna happen and Reeves didn't disappoint.

 

[hamzarocks]

Meaningless game

Marner come back soon

Use 7 games to gel and set playoff lineups

Leafs can beat any team in the atlantic in round 1 if they are up to mark

Turn the switch on, play 60 mins of good competitive hockey, get the PP and PK running

 

[Blanche Blanche]

I hope not...

But sadly my guts telling me that Keefe never really helps this team...
Hes kinda just there over the years.

Always seems when the good teams stifle your offense... Keefe doesn't know what to do.
Hes still trying to figure it out.

We already let Dubas try and play ballet hockey for 3 years before he went 180 and admitted we need tougher, bigger players.

When do we finally say... Keefe, stop trying whatever the hell youre doing... it isnt working

Im glad the panel called it out... Keefe and 4th line fiasco since 5 years ago
