Post-Game Talk: Leafs fold quicker than a cheap lawn chair, lose 6-2

[PromisedLand]

TGIF tonight stands for

This Game is f***ed

 

[Voodoo Child]

And another thing - this is why the Leafs can’t and won’t catch Boston; too many losses to shitty teams.

 

[Griffin76]

That was pretty hard to watch. Anyone who thinks this D core is good enough is dreaming. Too many #5s, 6s, and 7s and not enough top 4s. Faster teams are making the Leafs D look bad.

All the usual suspects were doing the usual things. Gotta clean it up. Just a loss. Move on to Sunday.

Witness the Leafs without Matthews. Any competent GM should trade him before the end of this season. Why? Because this team as Dumbas has constructed it is going nowhere. You cannot, I repeat you cannot let Matthews go into his walkaway for free year next year, nor can you afford to give him any sort of raise that will compromise this "team" even further.

What a waste of talent. Bad overpays by Dubas have WASTED the best talent pool the Leafs have ever had.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Hell je better not raise his voice to them, criticize or egads swear at them either

They need this guy in the room after that game

Defensively bad. Lack of bite. Some bad bounces. It was ottawa's night

 

[LadyLala]

Well that was quite an abomination

 

[PromisedLand]

leafs played so bad, Rogers decided to show black screens instead of the embarrassment

that was more satisfying and entertaining that the Leafs tonight.

Good 20 to 30 seconds of pure bliss

I said Lily was top 4 and got ripped.

Brodie Holl
Giordano Liljegren

...is our top 4. What are we paying Rielly so much money for? ...he should be battling Benn Sandin and Timmins for ice time right now.

 

[hamzarocks]

I remember when games like this would piss me off

Now a days though don't care.

Don't get excited in big wins, and don't get demoralized by big losses

You enjoy the regular season when the team does well but don't make any crazy conclusions from it.

If this was a playoff game would be concerning. As it is, it's just a bad game in the reg season

 

[ToneDog]

Lost 2x to Zona, and Montreal, 1x to Ottawa, Detroit, Ducks, Sharks, Isles, and Kings. Oh and let's not forget losing 5-1 at home to Martin fricken Jones. LOL

 

[CelticDruid]

I guess Murray doesn't like playing against his old teams.

Weak sauce.

Your first paragraph is just you using one game to suit your arguement. Not the way it works.
The Leafs D is not a problem. How many elimination losses with lack of goals do people need to see? Anyways hopefully Dubas adresses the actual issue this time

 

[Dekes For Days]

Unfortunate result. Better team lost. Can't be too upset at Samsonov - there were some snipes and he wasn't expecting to start. Hope Murray is okay.

This thread is hilarious. Classic example of casual fan perception being almost entirely reliant on score over play.

Going to be weird not watching Leafs on Saturday.

 

[namttebih]

There are some hot f***ing takes in here. Step off of the ledge people.

It's a January game in the middle of the season against a shit team and our playoff opponent is set in stone.

They're not going to get up for every game.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

 

[PromisedLand]

I am taking bets for

1) If Rielly is ever going to score a goal?

When was the last time we had a d-man, especially an "offensive D-man" go goalless for this long in the season

 

[6ix]

Missed this one, I’m 6-2 my stomach!

I think the response is reasonable. All people are saying they played terrible. Nothing too dramatic unlike the Montreal game

add that up and thats the difference approx in points b/w leafs and bruins

 

[BallardEra]

Looked like the whole team was playing with sprained knees.

Surprised Samsonov got the start vs Ottawa.

Totally agree. Why not give Murray a game?

 

[Metroid]

I duno what's worse.... Pissing outta my ass and puking or this game... Well gonna try to sleep this bug off....

 

[BallardEra]

Turnovers .. yikes


He wasn't supposed to .. Murray took a shot off the mask in warm up and was hurt by it.

Oh damn. Didn't know this.

Reilly's "offensive" alright. And so is his contract.

 

[Gilmour1996]

Hope it's not the stone as fighting for the last wild card to play Boston in the first round.



Edit: I think I'm confused about how the playoff matchups are determined.
