Post-Game Talk: Leafs hand Vegas a free win - 4-3 OTL

[CelticDruid]

Reilly has been awful.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

They played well enough to win for 95% of the game, but that other 5% was brutal. Just some shocking mistakes that you'd expect to see maybe once or twice a month, not several times in one game

And of course, many of the huge mistakes were from Rielly who should absolutely know better

 

[Gallagbi]

Meh, we controlled the play but made a lot of poor decisions. Youd like an extra save or two scattered in there too.

Should be some easy areas to clean up

 

[BTP]

meh. we were the better team overall. got a point. all i care about.

minimize those egregious mistakes and its 3-0

 

[htpwn]

Hell of a game, almost had a playoff pace to it, but man so many mistakes. Which I suppose is expected for this team in playoff-like games.

At least Liljegren scored a pair.

 

[BlackAdam]

Not even 30 seconds into OT and they give up their 3rd breakaway in the game that does them in.

 

[Optimist]

How can you ice the puck twice in the last minute of play in a tie game? And don't force things in OT. Establish clear possession before forcing the issue.

 

[Stephen]

Matthews potentially becoming the highest paid player in the league is a joke.

Matthews just doesn't seem to be able to find that extra gear this year. Usually he builds so much momentum from scoring early and often but that hasn't happened for the most part.

 

[wingman75]

Disappointing, gave the game away on careless and sloppy plays. Left Kallgren out to dry far too much.

Well stated. Vegas didn't have to work very hard for their goals.

Spurts of good hockey overshadowed by unforced errors and one bad bounce.

 

[sylejman]

I usually like Reilly but the fact that he couldn't read that slice through pissed me off.

 

[ER89]

Rielly has been garbage.

Matthews and marner have been godawful on the 3v3. WTF?

Matthews is not producing enough. You can't f*** around and go ppg once you've demanded 11M+.

Get your shit together.

Keefe is getting outcoached like a f***er.

 

[SprDaVE]

Eh you take that against a red hot team with your a 3rd stringer net. A few bad mistakes tonight. I'm not sweating it.

 

[Dave92]

Putting up a .800 save % vs "tough shots" isn't an accomplishment.

 

[glue]

The number of careless plays by the leafs this game they are quite frankly lucky to have got a point..disappointing as they handed Vegas the win

 

[BayStBullies]

5 points against the top 3 teams, I'm not even mad.

 

[Tak7]

5 of 6 points from Boston, Carolina, and Vegas the past 4 days. We would all have taken that coming off the Anaheim loss.

 

[cupcrazyman2]

Horrible start
Horrible finish
Lilj coughs up 2 goals
Marner coughs up winning goal
Give both of those Leafs a star

 

[Menzinger]

Not the best game for the Leafs, but glad to pick up the point

The skaters absolutely owe Kallgren a beer for that OT goal.

 

[2 Slick]

This team has popcap offense this season. They very rarely score more than 3 goals, are one of the lowest scoring teams in the NHL overall and on 5 on 5. Not good enough, it's not.

If you keep your shots to 19 in regulation, you shouldn't be giving up 3 goals in regulation, idc who's fault it is. That's pathetic,

I will never like Kallgren, people can preach to me, "It's NOT his fault" until they're blue in the face. HE sucks. The end.

 

[Community]

Outside of OT every Vegas goal came off an awful Leafs misplay. Need to take far better care of the puck.

Kerfoot and Engvall looked as bad as ever. Need to change them with guys that actually specialize in something and play with physicality.

I mean, the OT goal was an awful misplaced by Mitch.

He looked like he was playing 5v5 zone coverage instead of 3 on 3 man to man.

 

[6ix]

I don’t get why Marner is garbage in OT. Giveaway machine for no reason at all.

 

[Racer88]

Sky is falling, trade everyone.

Sky is not falling but it’s kinda sad that a team that has only been in the League 5 years is so much better then us

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Also Rielly isn’t good enough defensively to be out there to start OT. If the Leafs get the puck fine but that’s not a guarantee off the face off. Should start with Brodie and then if the Leafs get the puck reset and put Rielly on.

 

[PromisedLand]

if wasnt for kallgren this game would have been ugly.

4 goals against all giftwrapped by the leafs on giveaways.

whatever.....

Good stuff by Kallgren + Lily.

Need more "responsible" play by high AAV players on the team

 

[theTTC]

Vegas has another dimension to them they didn't even need to use: physicality. The Leafs, well, what we saw is all there is.
