Post-Game Talk: Leafs give one away to the Wings - Lose 4-2

[leafsfan5]

Berube needs to figure out how to get this team to score more. It's ridiculous we've went from being a top 2 offence to this by only losing Tyler f***ing Bertuzzi

"Teaching them how to play defence" doesn't help when they suck at scoring goals and have in the playoffs for multiple years now

 

[Torontonian]

Should have found a way to get a point out of that game, 2nd and 3rd goal were gifted to them.

Nonexistent bottom 6 scoring continues to be the big story.

Dating back the past 10 games, I think Toronto has put together 1, 60 min game only.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Played down to their competition and let their own mistakes beat them

Woll was left to hang on two of those goals

 

[wingman75]

We didn’t give shit away, we weren’t the better team

Real fed up with the core 4 and the offence, we can’t score 4 goals to save our live

This team is learning how to lose game 7 2-1.

Goals 2 and 3 against were literally given away. Literally. Given. Away.

 

[likecheese]

I guess if you split up the lines to try to spread out the offence a little, you'd be at risk of jeopardizing that goal-a-game even strength juggernaut.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Just dogs**t breakdowns on 2 of the goals. Berube must be going everything he can from not cuffing some of these guys upside the head.

 

[BertCorbeau]

that late 2nd goal against is a killer

Drives me nuts when that happens

 

[Racer88]

I was told we'd score a bunch tonight.

I was told by some that we are a contender but here we are……..the same team we have been for the last 7 years

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I was told we'd score a bunch tonight.

Would you say we'd score a plethora of goals?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Would Bérubé mixed up the lines for next game?

Also our boys are literally streak breaker for the opposing team. Kane got a point in forever, Petry first goal and Husson first win of the season.

Buffalo has lost 9 in a row. They're gonna win tomorrow, aren't they?

 

[Leafsfan74]

Outworked for the first two periods.

Acceptable third but it's tough to win when chasing the game every night.

Last 10-15 games have been a mirage as Leafs goaltending has bailed them out higher than average.

Marner had a strong game, except for a couple of old bad habits. He had his wheels tonight.

Leafs are going to have to accept that they need secondary scoring and/or major tinkering with the lines. Same old story, near impossible to fulfill with top heavy contracts.

 

[Anthrax442]

Double hat trick

 

[BraveCanadian]

Someone not named Marner Matthews Nylander or Tavares really really really needs to chip in for this team.

And for the love of god stop playing around the outside between the point and the corner when you're trying to tie the game. It has been my experience that the puck needs to be moved in the direction of the net for a goal to be scored.

Who, Buffalo?

Probably...

 

[Aashir]

Goals 2 and 3 against were literally given away. Literally. Given. Away.

I guess, but we didn’t play any better than them, in my eyes to give a game away you had to be the better team like the devils to us

I can’t remember the last time we truly outplayed a team, and we haven’t been playing any good teams either

 

[MSZ]

Woll isn't playing tomorrow so that's a predictable result.

I thought they were excellent in the second until they quit on the last shift.

 

[Blanka]

Disappointing. It's mind-blowing to me that this team, as it's constructed, has trouble scoring.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Minten might be slowing down a bit with the NHL grind

Problem is who do you bring in?

Domi is a big disappointment this season.. he’s suppose to lead the secondary scoring charge and can’t do anything in the O zone

 

[LaPlante94]

We can say offence is an issue but we're getting really good looks that were put in the back of the net in previous years. Idk how may times they got to try and go five hole when shooting before trying something different.

 

[Gabriel426]

Buffalo has lost 9 in a row. They're gonna win tomorrow, aren't they?

Afraid so unless Hilbeast post a shutout

 

[Anthrax442]

They do too much and not enough simultaneously

 

[LeafSteel]

Bummer

I hate that you used the proper accents

They could also step up

Excluding Marner, this is the worst season of nylander in the past 3, the worst since rookie Matthews, and Tavares is just back to being mid.

Those guys are keeping us out of the top 10 in scoring, the depth is keeping us out of the top 5
