Post-Game Talk: Lazy effort. Full 60 minutes required

[All Mod Cons]

Stop messing around and put the lines back together so they can roll into the playoffs with some cohesion and a clear idea of what is required from each line/player.

Can't do anything about Tavares being utter dogshit. Stop with this Holl and Spezza nonsense. Hope you enjoyed your cup of coffee Abruzzese but that's all for now.

Bunting Matthews Marner
Kerfoot Tavares Nylander
Engvall Kampf Mikheyev
Clifford Blackwell Simmonds

Rielly Brodie
Gio Lily
Muzzin* Boosh

Anyone not named Holl can play in place of Muzzin until he's back.

Get the goalies practicing how to stop moving objects.

 

[Brown Dog]

What is it about Buffalo always having our number, it seems?

At least we won't have to worry about having to face them in the playoffs...for a long time.

 

[Captain14]

Special teams is concerning, to say the least.

100%. If this trend continues, we will never be able to overcome our terrible coaching and goaltending.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Meh. Garbage team going all out while the Leafs were not fully engaged. A nothing game in the end

 

[Mad Scramble]

Well, on the bright side I hope everyone here made some money on the game tonight. Leafs vs basement dwellers = easy $$

 

[Mopar]

If this team actually tried against bad teams we'd have home ice up to the cup final on lockdown. It's really annoying.

This.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Well that was a not unexpected crapping of the bed. It was 60 minutes of extremely bad decisions, one of which was my deciding to watch it until the end.

 

[Aashir]

On the bright side
Matthews and Marner cannot be anymore worse then they were this game

 

[2 Slick]

what happened to Campbell? Why would he be sitting for 2 games in a row with so few games remaining when he needs to find his game.

He’s dealing with another ailment not related to his rib injury. Translation: our goaltending situation for the playoffs is a shit show.

 

[IPS]

Holl has all the tools to be a dream - a 6+ 200+ right shot with some offensive talent, but not as much as he thinks and he does NOT seem to like playing in the corners or clearing the net.

Because he's not actually that big.

6'3" great wingspan but only 194lbs. Doesn't seem to be all that physically strong.

 

[Kiwi]

One team is giving everything they have to get the result

The other however looks like they are marking off games until the playoffs start

It sucks but it's hard not to look forward if you're the Leafs

 

[djdev]

good news is boosh AND holl can sit when sandin is healthy again lol

 

[makbeer]

He’s dealing with another ailment not related to his rib injury. Translation: our goaltending situation for the playoffs is a shit show.

LOVELY.

 

[Brown Dog]

Surprised to see all the shots of Sabres fans in the stands. Good night for them, but at least we know deep down they're miserable. When was the last time Buffalo was even mildly relevant?

 

[wingman75]

Because he's not actually that big.

6'3" great wingspan but only 194lbs. Doesn't seem to be all that physically strong.

And really bad balance for an NHLer. If you watch him, he almost always wobbles on contact.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Oh he sucked alright. But Holl was worse.

You are wrong, but believe whatever fantasy you want.

 

[ACC1224]

Well that was uninspired

 

[saffronleaf]

idk injury?

maybe kallgren - hutchinson tandem will be in for the playoffs

For D I'd love to try:

Rielly-Boosh
Muzzin-Brodie
Giordano-Liljegren

Each pair can move the puck, contribute a bit offensively, and a bit of physicality on every pairing.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Predicatable loss

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Please end this pain Keefe.

He should be benched next game.

I am not saying anyone was all that great today. It was just not that sharp in general. But how anyone thinks Lyubushkin was not the worst defenseman today (by far), I don't even know. There wasn't a single person who complained about him in the game thread yet there were probably 4 pages of pure whining about Holl, who was not even the 2nd worst guy tonight.

Lyubushkin was effectively benched after that 4th goal and deserved it.

 

[IPS]

You are wrong, but believe whatever fantasy you want.

Atleast a few others seem to agree with my fantasy too.

 

[Azazel]

Well, on the bright side I hope everyone here made some money on the game tonight. Leafs vs basement dwellers = easy $$

Leaf players sure played like they had a cool mill on Buff to win. Even the announcers pointed out Kerfoot didnt want to shoot on our second goal.

 

[PromisedLand]

Tavares is the best 3C in hockey, unfortunately he makes 11 million

Only center to make 10M+ and not be top 10 in scoring for centers. He was signed here to be a superstar and feast on his competition as Matthews takes on tough match ups but....

 

[makbeer]

idk injury?

maybe kallgren - hutchinson tandem will be in for the playoffs

If they lose in the first round because of goaltending, a problem they could have seen coming a mile away, Dubas has to be gone in the offseason.

It is unforgiveable to waste this year of the talent they have with the goaltending shitshow they also have.

He's rolling the dice big time.
