Post-Game Talk: Leafs hear Pings all night lose 4-3

[HamiltonNHL]

You can see four Leafs but only one is right on someone.

it was early in the first period. you can't expect the Leafs to be ready so early in the game.

 

[Metroid]

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Nah. First game back from a West coast trip and their luck runs out.

Yeh but they'll play us don't forget. We're almost always exception to the norms fcol.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Keefer common man Brodie is killing us .. it has been easy to see all season long .. he is now our 7th guy .. yes he is a vet but we can't continue to lose winnable games with his weak weak D game

 

[Clark4Ever]

Despite the poor effort, I thought we could have easily gotten a positive result with any luck at all and a better showing by Samsonov.

On to the next one.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Obviously not our best game. Way too many mistakes and far too casual. That said, we were still very unlucky to not even get a point in that game. Not too often you see that many clean shots of the iron.

It's hard to preach accountability as a coaching staff when you continually ice a team that is not optimal. I don't know how many games have to be ruined before Sheldon finally realizes that Rielly-Brodie no longer works. This is bordering on Babcock level stubborn at this point.

I don't care if Lybushkin is out, it is not an excuse to ice a top pairing that has routinely proven itself to be a failure this season. We are not in the 2020-21 season anymore. Figure it out Sheldon

Need a better effort all around tonight.

Keefe & Brodie for Mike Sullivan. Come on Dubie. Pickup the phone.

We could take Letang too. How much worse can he be?

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

- Bad puck luck (but they're professionals, deal with it).
- Jesus Brodie on that second Philly goal...wtf? Put Rielly in a horrible position but then, Rielly didn't handle it much better.
- Mediocre goaltending.

That's the best summary of this game you will find.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Why on earth wound you leave Benoit out?

I wouldn’t. Keefe would. My ideal defensive alignment is this.

Rielly-Lyubushkin
Benoit-McCabe
Edmundson-Liljegren

The previous one I posted was following Ulf’s suggestion of reuniting Brodie-Liljegren and also accounting for Keefe’s recent scratching of Benoit in favour of Edmundson.

 

[FerrisRox]

He was 11-7-1 with 2 shut outs and .907 percentage. Nothing great, but certainly not bad when comparing to many other starting goaltenders in the league.

Martin Jones is *not* the guy who should be playing in the playoffs.

The Leafs have poor goaltending, but make no mistake, he's the poorest of the bunch.

Be thrilled you got an 11-7-1 run out of him, but they *absolutley should not* let him see the net in the playoffs. He's a #3 on a team with lousy goaltending. He should not see the net and he should not be re-signed.

 

[Racer88]

It's bad luck.

So is missing the net bad luck

 

[rumman]

Lots of posts, lots of shit efforts.

Brodie has to go, literally a boat anchor on this team.

I’ve been saying he’s useless all season, guy can’t defend period…….

Remember the salutegate?

but your point well taken!

And so idiots wanted Kessel back, too funny……..

 

[rumman]

Reavo's right eye oh man.... This sucks!

He’s no longer a top pugilist, barely held on for dear life in this tilt, they’ll all be challenging him now, what goes around comes around……..

is MO and BRO the worst pairing in hockey today? is Keefe the worst coach for continuing to play them together? Is AM hurt again?

Possibly, neither can play the defensive side of the game……..

 

[rumman]

Brodie can't work with Rielly or on the right side at all, whatever chemistry he had with Liljegren has been lost, and McCabe works better with Benoit. Where exactly does that leave TJ?

Press box, for the remainder of his time in Toronto hopefully…….

 

[leafs in five]

god damn that Domi pass with a PP expiring. he's like a monkey's paw curse on us, like between the whistles he is everything that haters imagine Marner to be

 

[Hellcat]

I've been saying this for years, the team has no structure, three players get a pass Nylander, Marner and Matthews, everyone else you are under strict structure, you dont fart with out Keefe saying fart.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

We got bad Sammy last night, even Keefe said he wasn't very good.

He's WAY to inconsistent.

He's either borderline Vezina caliber or barely AHL quality there is no middle ground
