Post-Game Talk: Leafs Book Their Tickets for Game 7 [MOD WARNING in OP]

[Anthrax442]

imo these things are not exactly the same and not really remotely the same either!

Nothing wrong with these statements in vacuum, but in playoffs, when you are failing, AGAIN. As fans you want to hear something else. Especially his constant turnovers lead to goals

 

[leafs in five]

which MM turnover led to a goal?

 

[Racer88]

Marner's "We had our looks" is exactly same as Keefe's "Respect at handshake line"

completely empty

They are totally delusional.
That was one of the crappiest effort in a long time

[Nineteen67]

which MM turnover led to a goal?

He almost had a classic Marner TO where he got scared and threw the puck away, but for some reason Grieg tackled him and took a penalty.

 

[Racer88]

Matthews 2-on-1 chance (no shot on goal), Lorentz 2-0 (no shot on goal), 5 shots on the first shortened PP including a slot one-timer by Matthews, Marner had the point blank chance off the Rielly blocked shot. they had their looks, obviously, it's also a cliche, MM is capable of waaaaaaay worse answers than that.

Ok, you do make a fair point. Marner is the king of delusional press comments

 

[rumman]

Dallas doesn't get anywhere near that.

Once Marner walks maybe asking 34 if he’s interested in playing elsewhere could be the best move for the team, build on Knies and his ilk…….

I was relieved he didn't say something similar to Tanev

 

[NMacrules]

I said the hens would win this series when it was 3-0

Leafs don't have that killer instinct. Look at that mess of a hockey game they played.

I'm sick of the coasting. Happens every shift when some Leaf coasts towards a puck carrier, which gives the puck carrier to much space and time.

And take Patches out and put Robertson back in. He was a sparkplug. Patches is not up to game speed yet.

If you want to win the series, its quite simple. Be first to the puck.

 

[rumman]

have had a really tough 24 hours, but the leafs sure know how to make it worse

I feel your pain brother, gutted by what happened on Monday, watching these clowns embarrass themselves……not so much…….

 

[Jojalu]

Nope. I was wrong. Still upset this morning.

 

[hullsy47]

They are totally delusional.
That was one of the crappiest effort in a long time

Marner is playing like he hates playoff hockey

 

[centipede2233]

They should ask him if he would accept a trade

Let’s hope the next president has actual balls to do that instead of the lame ass moron they got now

 

[Roo]

May I ask why?

I choose to remain optimistic. It’s a different team, and I believe they are more mentally composed. The criticism is absolutely warranted, but they were due to face some adversity. I thought they were the better team in each of the first 4 games. Last night’s I’d give to Ottawa. They won’t be the better team every night. We got no breaks/bounces and had numerous chances to score. Ottawa is back in this series on the back of two seeing eye shots.

We won’t keep giving up short handed goals.

Let’s see what adjustments are made and how they respond. Hopefully they can take that step we are all looking to them to take next game.

 

[Mitch nylander]

We reak. Marner and Matthews -3 in an elimination game woohoo. Let Marner walk please.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

-4 actually!

I think if the leafs dont get to conference finals
Everybody will be asked if theyd waive
The defense is solid but we do need a stud or future stud
Up front if its true mitchy is leaving
Maybe force edmonton to pay mcdavid with rumors of record money deferred payments the whole chebang
No way u get shut out at home in a close out game
BUT THESE GUYS DONT GET EMBARASSED

 

[Torontonian]

Some lineup changes are coming on Thursday, Patches out and Robertson back in. And I would swap Kampf in for Jarnkrok and run a Lorentz - Kampf - Holmberg 4th line & a Domi - Laughton - Robertson 3rd line.

They played like dogshit last night, and it starts with the big boys but not enough being talked about is the fact in 5 games, we have 1 goal from our bottom 6.. At some point they need to get a goal or two from the bottom lines in a game.

I’m convinced if Marner signs with a team that Mathews would be open to being traded to said team. I’m thinking that’s something Dubas couldn’t resist………

 

[rumman]

I'm at peace. Really.

Either we will see second round hockey, or the entire core will get blown right up. You can't watch this happen and then just roll it back again, right?

Don’t hold your breathe, I’ve been expecting that to happen for years, but what we fail to realize is MLSE is happy with this core, they’ll no doubt run it back once again……..

 

[rumman]

Great googly moogly.

And don’t you eat that yellow snow……..

 

[shaner8989]

How bad will they get booed in game 7?

 

[rumman]

It’s honestly funny at this point, we all know where this is heading.

I feel for Knies and the 4th line who will be tied to this and catch shrapnel though. They’ve played their asses off. I truly never need or want to see this core again.

And some of the new D, I’m sure the likes of Tanev, OEL, and Carlo are thinking WTF……..

 

[kevsh]

Suggested forward lineup for game 6:

Knies - Domi - Pacioretty
Lorentz - Laughton - Robertson
Steeves - Quillan - Abruzzese
Johnson - A. Nylander - Hirvonen

They may not win but I'd bet they'd at least play like they want to.

 

[rumman]

This guys just don't hate losing enough. f***ing embarrassing.

I think theynhear the golf clubs calling………
