Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 1-0

[Razz]

47 shots 4+ posts, what ya gonna do? It's not like they got blown out.

 

[HomelessPepper]

lol, there's nowhere to go but up?

 

[BallardEra]

I'm more curious to see how they respond tomorrow night.

 

[On-the-Fly]

Sacre bleu!

 

[Guided by Veseys]

The hockey gods were cruel today.

 

[kevsh]

Meh, not too concerned.

New coach, new system, overhauled blueline. There's going to be some growing pains.

But I do expect a much lower scoring team so let's see how the stars react when their stats take a hit.

 

[Smif]

I hope we weed out the weak fans esrly this year. First game loss let's see how many swear off the team tonight.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Ch-ch-ch-changes..

 

[MoreMogilny]

Where’s the depth. We just lose depth every year. Outside of our top guys we’ve got very little. Which is why we’ve got Kampf, Lorentz, Reaves as a line. That’s probably a sub 10 goal line this year.

I usually get suckered into having hope in October. Atleast for the first bit of the season. They didn't get me this season.

 

[Kurtz]

Stolarz looked great.

 

[Torontonian]

Same issues from last year come back in the first game of the season. Lack of scoring and bad powerplays.

Toronto dominated on the shotclock, but they looked sloppy as hell trying to make any plays.

 

[PromisedLand]

I ain't even mad man. When they decided to not force Marner to waive his NTC/NMC I just knew its gonna be same shit different day

 

[leafsfan5]

What a poetic way to start the season

 

[Nineteen67]

How did they get slower? Even Mo was noticeably slower tonight.

 

[therealkoho]

Are we going to start 0-2?

Arrrgghh

 

[weems]

Tough loss but the team actually played really well from the 2nd period on.
Their goalie was very good and Stolars also good early in the game.
Our PP was what really sunk us in this game, just brutal basically each time.
Scoring chances were 32-17 and high danger chances 15-3 while 5V5 while hitting like 3-4 posts.

 

[Leafblooded]

Lazy, uninspired. Nothing changes

1 - 0 for lily I fuccin hate timmins

 

[BertCorbeau]

Notes:

- Stolarz looked real good
- Defensively they settled in nicely
- Played a nice road game overall
- Some bad puck luck and bounces

- PP looked awful, very lethargic
- Too casual with the puck at times
- Not driving hard enough to get second chances


It really looked like a team under a new coach trying to work through the changes. They looked off. But 47 shots and some really good chances overall. Won't complain too much.

PK was strong asides from the 1 goal. The 5 on 3 was stellar.

 

[Smif]

It's not a good team. We suck at scoring goals yet we pay so much money. Our PP1 has like 51 million dollars on it yet it can't score shit.

#2 in GF.last year. Give them a little rope lol

 

[Burnie97]

Honestly glad that dumb streak is over.

Don't have to hear about it anymore.

All the shots... but never really many good ones.

On to the next. Need to go to the dirty areas.

Habs will be really bad. Lucky to win that and Leafs didn't even play that well.

Leafs will be fine.

I'm not doing the end of the world stuff.

Go Leafs Go

 

[LeafSadist]

Stellarz

 

[HamiltonNHL]

not the best shot by matthews.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

PP picks up where it never left off

Curious to see Holmberg on 5-on-3 PK but not Kampf

2nd line is not good and Tavares is a step behind

Timmins not a good game from him.

Rielly off PP1; Also if you are gonna split time between PP, split the talent as well
