Post-Game Talk: Leafs beat Oilers (and refs!) 4-3. We're going streaking!

[zeke]

BTW everybody, in case you were wondering....



Yes, Matthews > McDavid.

 

[MattySnipes]

That is some embarrassing ass zhit from the refs. Completely changed the game when it was utterly under control. Can hardly even evaluate the gameplay when a game gets wrecked by the refs like that. Garbage. This has to stop.

Another gutsy win anyways for the boys. Big Papi comes through and McDavid doesn't. Again.

You know its funny - Matthews doesn't feel like he's completely untracked yet but he's still at a 52gl/92pt pace.

And I'll keep giving fred props even if his save percentage isn't there yet. He's been dynamite since that Ottawa game and tonight the refs screwed his stats.

Almost like all the Leafs fans who said he'd eventually be a 100 pt player all those years ago knew something.

 

[zeke]

Really liking the progress of Brodie on the blueline.

Not sure why Keefe rewarded Kerfoot with power play time even after his 3rd penalty.

"Penalty"

 

[hockeyes]

I don't care what the split is, a game with 10+ power plays sucks unless its a blood bath. This game should have been called with 3 or 4 penalties, mainly the trips.

 

[Zybalto]

Moneypuck says we deserved to lose...

7 powerplays including a long 5 on 3 might say that.

Once the refs had it 5-1 with most of the penalties called absolute jokes, any game analysis was ruined anyways.

I miss the old days when skilled teams drew penalties. That uncalled crosscheck on the numbers on Brodie at the end was the coup de grace for the pee wee level officiating tonight.

Brutal game to watch.

 

[Sniper99]

Spezza had the wheels goin a lot tonight. Looked like young Spezza again.

 

[Brown Dog]

Can't believe Barrie broke up a 2-on-1. Guess there really is a first time for everything!

 

[Confucius]

Someone give these guys an eye exam.
Graham Skilliter #24
Chris Schlenker #3

 

[Mattavarner]

Anyone see that play where Hyman and Barrie were racing to the corner to retrieve the puck? Ive never been so confident on the outcome of a play in my life

 

[Maplebeasts]

Moneypuck says we deserved to lose...

The needle takes into consideration xG in all situations where the Oilers had 7 pp's. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

 

[MattySnipes]

Connor McDavid: ".....we found a way to hang around...."

 

[Future]

What’s it going to take for McDavid to request a trade? They’ve got Tyson Barrie leading their defense. Just been shit every single year.

Game off did him good.

Engvall-Boyd-Spezza next game imo.

On the gwg?

Like Shaq going for a dunk on a midget.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Well i agree that Mackinnon is probably better, but Draisatl is definitely a super star player. I think generational is a bit hyperbole, im not sure i'm seeing that from logical posters. He outscores Mcdavid on the same team, you know, the consensus best player in the league to many who is purely offensive. Not sure what Draisatl is supposed to do to be able to prove himself anymore.

I dunno....watching the games and he doesnt stand out like mcdavid does. Maybe he doesnt dominate like he does against other teams. Matthews hasnt been normal self against oilers yet either.

 

[saffronleaf]

The way Hyman was so eager and confident to go into the boards against Barrie

When do their 2 "MVP"s start getting the blame?

Has a "2 MVP" team ever been this bad for this long?

 

[Avilaj07]

Poor McDavid looks defeated. Really hope he asks to be traded, and only to the Leafs lol

 

[A1LeafNation]

Connor McDavid: ".....we found a way to hang around...."

They paid the refs after the first. That is technically a way to hang around.

He said it with some sarcasm and humour.

He knows refs helped em.

well they've skyrocketed up from worst team in the league in 2015 all the way to 3rd worst in just 6 short years

Said he was unhappy with the way his team played and he's right.

If the refs didnt get involved, Leafs would have cruised to a pretty solid win.
