Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 1-0

[hamzarocks]

Is there a place which tracks the number of instances outshooting and chancing a team by 10-15 shots and losing?

Have to think leafs would be near the top of that the last 4 or 5 years

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Participation Ribbons for the whole team.

Got schooled by this AHL call up.

 

[Racer88]

Yeah that sucks but these games happen sometimes the goalie steals on, it happen.

I'll take the way they played tonight 10/10 times because if they play like they did tonight, they are going to win and they are going to win A LOT

That’s assuming they can figure how to put it in the net

 

[Blanka]

Matthews continues to show his playoff form....13.25 there. Looks like he really doesn't wanna lead this team to a div win this year either. That last second chance choke just continues the trend

Marner wasn't really bad...but this guy doesn't shoot the puck at all. I really really hate that about him. So many times where he still looks for matthews even though he needs to shoot it. He made some nice plays too

Tavares.....he is done, he can't play.... he can have 50 points or 60 points or whatever he just kills too many plays. I wouldn't sign him back no matter. Everything else can be and is an overreaction but this isn't.

Nylander didn't look the same as last year...big shocker he made some nice plays but just didn't look the same. Some of it has to do with tavares, but man he got paid and looks to be dipping

Stolarz was fantastic, OEL was good (WTF was that breakaway), Lorentz was solid, Knies was good, Benoit was great, Tbh defence as a whole was good

we got f***ing shutout by montreal...embarassing

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Stolarz was an excellent pickup

Really appears to be.

 

[Incognito]

This team’s ability to turn even the most crap ass sieve of a goalie into the second coming of prime Patrick Roy never ceases to amaze me.

 

[thusk]

All our D were very good tonight. Marner WAS terrible. But, it's just one game, so no need to make any decisions based on anything we saw tonight.

Marner is probably leafs player who generate the most scoring chance in that game, what are you talking about?!?!?!

Did we really watched the same game

The Domi-Tavares-Nylander line was terrible... a Nylander rush where he hit the post resume the entire game of that line

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

That’s assuming they can figure how to put it in the net

I'm not worried about that.

 

[hamzarocks]

THey wont be playing like this most nights bc MTL are a bottom 5 team/bottom feeder

Tommorrow vs NJD they likely get caved in and will need Hidler to be sharp and make big saves

 

[HellasLEAF]

I sort of knew we'd lose tonight so not too bothered by this one?

i already conceded that most of it (apart from the tavares talk) was an overreaction lol

just annoying watching that game and not seeing the puck hit the back of the net even once

 

[wingman75]

I think Lily can move the puck a lot better and is positionally also a lot better. he should be given a free reign to his thing. Timmins is also bit of a slow skater IMO; Lily also has higher IQ

If they are gonna scratch Lily then they should just trade him IMO. 3M AAV sitting in the pressbox is kinda stupid IMO

Pretty sure they will trade him, and soon.

Funny, I feel Timmins moves the puck better and more importantly is better in the defensive zone along the boards under pressure. I'm tired of our team getting hemmed in our zone because Timmy got dominated down low.

I expect Timmy and Kampf to be traded soonish.

 

[Nineteen67]

I thought his body language said he was... #shockednotshocked

He didn’t look right. Maybe it was an off night. We’ll see tomorrow.

 

[theTTC]

Can't handle Habs, who are obviously a poor team. Going to be ugly tomorrow.

 

[ULF_55]

We looked good. Montreal made a ice play to score on their PP. Our PP needs to be better though.

In other news though it looks like Kampf might be the odd man out when making cap space. Holmberg being used over him on the PK.

Yeah, Habs skilled play won the game.

Holmberg carrying on from preseason.

Like to see Tavares with a couple "heavy" wingers.

? - Holmberg - Nylander

 

[weems]

It says our xGF 5v5 tonight was 4.29

Am I reading this incorrectly or was that number higher than any game last season?

 

[ACC1224]

i think he is saying the leafs lose games being the better team more than any other team

the leafs blew them out of the water in terms of shots, and chances were favoured our way too, but we (yet again) just couldn't score anything

It happens and I suspect it happens more to good teams than bad ones.

 

[Aashir]

Yeah that sucks but these games happen sometimes the goalie steals on, it happen.

I'll take the way they played tonight 10/10 times because if they play like they did tonight, they are going to win and they are going to win A LOT

they better keep playing that way AND putting the puck in the net

Stolarz gave us a very strong performance, if not for a stupid timmins penalty likely rocking a shutout

not sure how many more of those you can get and waste and still try to win the division

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Leafs got boo'd to start the game !

 

[GoonieFace]

Timmins looked ok tonight. Overall the D was good. Habs suck though, so it’s hard to gauge.
Willy looked good at times, but no help on that line with ancient Tavares
Marner had moments. Still too many dumb passes, and shoot the damn puck
4th line was good

 

[wingman75]

Marner is probably leafs player who generate the most scoring chance in that game, what are you talking about?!?!?!

Did we really watched the same game

The Domi-Tavares-Nylander line was terrible... a Nylander rush where he hit the post resume the entire game of that line

All I saw was a soft Marner, out of position, turning the puck over. Also felt if you took him out of the lineup, there would have been no difference. Probably an exaggeration. He was decent on the PK, didn't like his game in the offensive zone, to cute, as always.

 

[sxvnert]

Guaranteed Murray starts tomorrow night with hildebeast backing him up.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

MLSE milks their fans for all they are worth.

They had a lot of shots from the outside, but they also had tons from in tight.

They had chances.

Chances don’t win games and superstar are supposed to bury their chances

 

[TheDoldrums]

also as a I said before, Timmins always takes either a stupid penalty, makes a braindead pass, or loses his man and it costs us a goal

today it was the first one, I wonder what it'll be the next?

I don’t get the Timmins thing, his IQ is lacking. And now Friedman reporting on 32 thoughts that were looking to move Liljegren which is so stupid to me when he’s always played better.
