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

[Community]

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.

Diamond? It's man on man and there can't be a diamond with only 3 skaters...

Anyways, doesn't matter. Leafs beat themselves, but anybody that doesn't feel better about this team now compared to a week ago is kidding themselves. Clean up the brain farts and get another defenseman if Muzzin isn't coming back to push Sandin/Holl to #7.

such a talented but frequently braindead team. the latter outweighs the former in the games that matter.

It’s telling they never go on long winning steaks despite all the talent (talking 7+ games) like other contenders. The brain farts and inconsistency effort wise have always prevented that.

Meh. 3rd game in 4 nights while Vegas was rested, and the Leafs still played fine for the most part.

Everyone would've signed off on 5 of 6 points before Saturday

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Lilly should be on PP1 and start OT

He's our best defenseman

It's shocking he's not even on PP2

 

[Teeder Keon]

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.

You wouldn’t be on the ice for me Brotha sorry
Completely wrong on that particular play

Rielly still has no idea how to play a 2 on 1 lmao. Engvall is hot garbage as per usual. The guy just doesn't seem to care. Always skating around, but never actually looks engaged while on the ice.

Sorry I mean triangle. Reilly has to defend the middle. There's no man on man there, his man wasn't even in the play.

Has more organizational depth too. Makes no sense.

Vegas has no organizational depth, what are you guys talking about?

 

[Teeder Keon]

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

Sorry mrs Malgin

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

Get off your lazy ass and go build me some subways!

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

Right but they earned the win…….that’s what the best teams do, find a way to win
instead we found a way to lose a game we should have won

Win some lose some?

Okay maybe not organizational depth. But their NHL roster is deeper. I'd love to have that 4th line.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Matthews has checked out of the hotel. He is so done with Toronto it is not even funny. He wants a trade, that is why he is playing so badly. he is going to be lucky to score 15 goals this season at this point.

That's a take...

 

[Teeder Keon]

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.

Strange , one of my few gripes with Coach K is that his brain is bigger than the simple game , he out smarts himself

The restaurant or the tunnels

What's frustrating about fire drill Rielly is even though Liljegren made two boneheaded mistakes that cost two goals against, he still looked like the less panicked between the two.

Rielly is just running around out there on defensive coverage like he has no idea where to go, and on a 2 on 1 he wants to do everything.

 

[The Podium]

Right but I only care about us

So good thwack ! POW !

PP1 is a must. We need an actual shot option on the point not someone who just dishes easy passes to Matthews/Marner on the half walls. Any 3rd pair D can do that.

 

[keonsbitterness]

The restaurant or the tunnels

NOT the restaurant. Mr. Sub is much better.

 

[Fogelhund]

Very Leafy game. Play very well, dominate offensively at times, but just make mental mistakes that allows teams to stay in the game, come back, or win. Every goal against was a mental mistake made.

 

[Community]

5/6 points against the likes of Boston/Carolina/Vegas seems like a good outcome, but it still doesn't quite make up for 1/6 from Montreal/Arizona/Anaheim

It doesn't, but we are on an upswing compared to the tire fire of last week. Lots of season to go!

You wouldn’t be on the ice for me Brotha sorry

Well I hope not, I can only skate in a straight line and stop 50% of the time!
