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

[Clark4Ever]

Well, at least Kallgren looked good again.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

How are people blaming Rielly? Wasn't his turnover and wasn't his man like wtf

Because he hasnt blocked a cross crease since 94 when he was in pee wee. My god riellyopen ur hips so ur skates lay flat

 

[howlman]

The writing is on the wall, Matthews wants the hell out of Toronto.

No

 

[BertCorbeau]

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

One doesn't have to do with the other

I hope we make some changes on the roster for next game

It’s been since I don’t even know when we had a real top 6 LWer

Pretty decent hockey game tonight. Bounces didn't go our way and we lost on stinkers, but it was an interesting game and some of our younger players looked really good. Team looked fine tbh, escape a bad luck night against a tough opponent (Vegas is a wagon rn) with a point.

Had fun watching tonight, hoping all the drama of the early season is behind us. We are the Leafs and the season is an 82 game roller coaster, but this was one of the fun parts. Liljegren looked terrific.

 

[Community]

Only D on the ice and he's up on the far side of the rink at leafs blue line while vegas is on leafs side of neutral. No idea what he's thinking there.

Once again, there's really no defense for 3 on 3... it's just man on man and if you're guy is further up you follow him so that when he comes at you one on one you're not flat footed.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

he's the defenseman, it's literally his man.

yup. There was more than enough time to reset from the turnover. Rielly literally just stood there and waved his stick. Marner can’t be excused either; he was ready to blow the zone instead of supporting defensively.

It was a clusterf*** all around.

5-(6?) game point streak though. Could be worse.

Also I should be a lot more pissed right now I feel. The beers have done their job well.

Has more organizational depth too. Makes no sense.

 

[leafsfan5]

Lilly should be on PP1 and start OT

He's our best defenseman

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Trade him and get something for him because he’s not going to be here for his next contract so get something while he’s worth something and we can get something else for him that’s going to try to win

Matthews is weird this year. It looks like he's still trying, but he just hasn't been the game commanding presence we've seen in the past. I thought he was inching his way to McDavid territory last year, but this year he's not in the same realm.

 

[sylejman]

It's man on man, not zone coverage. Rielly was staying near his man while Marner completely goofed and was nowhere near any Golden Knight player let alone the guy he was supposed to be covering.

Mariner did go a little wide, but they're defending in a diamond, as soon as marner and Mathews switch, Reilly has to cover middle of the ice.

Sorry man completely disagree .

Management?

 

[keonsbitterness]

This place is an absolute cesspool after a loss.

Fortunately today was my trash day.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Well we had some good games in this stretch, so lots of positives to build off of, frustrating to lose one you should have had but oh well, regroup, move on.

I still don't see this team going deep this post season as is, changes are needed. I truly hope Samsonovs injury whatever it is isn't bad or this team is DOA.

 

[Racer88]

Hung with them pretty well considering we're running an AHL goalie. But I do agree, this was a good measuring stick, it always is against Vegas. This leafs team is not a cup contender. The bottom 6 is just not good enough. Vegas has depth everywhere on that roster.

You are right that our bottom six cannot hang with the good teams.
as far as running with an AHL goalie that also plays to zero depth of goaltending

 

[Pebble live]

Once again, there's really no defense for 3 on 3... it's just man on man and if you're guy is further up you follow him so that when he comes at you one on one you're not flat footed.

3 on 3 is very situational. At times it's absolutely man on man. Other times you need to read the play and put yourself in the best position to neutralize the attack if you can't be right on your man. Mo was not close enough to his man or in a position to kill a play. Bad decision making all around.

Wtf? Malgin is the best. e wouldn't giev 2 gift goals like Marner did.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Worst.Post.Ever.

Ever

 

[Mr_Fun]

Dumb mistakes cost them sure. But coming off of the Anaheim game going into torts/bruins/canes/knights.

I mean 7/8 isn’t bad

Just keep it up against Pitt an nucks

We gifted them every goal tonight, but it's really tough to get too, too down on the lads as a whole, based on their recent perfirmances. Just come out on fire and crush the next two teams, please.

 

[Menzinger]

Vegas just showed why they are the best in the league and we are pretenders and can’t close out a game

They got outshot by 11, and it took an OT goal against the third string Leafs goalie to see the end result.

They earned the win, but was hardly a decisive effort

 

[DarkKnight]

Best for me, Engvall playing like absolute dogshit prior, so Keefe decides to put him on second line to close out the third. That’s coaching.

 

[theTTC]

So it's really hard to win 3 in a row vs .750 teams. But I'll take 5/6 points.

And it's really hard to lose against the three worst bottom feeders who are all purposely tanking. What's your point?

 

[Racer88]

They are literally better than everyone…

Right but I only care about us
