Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 2-1 ... Kind of... In a shootout (Yes those are still a thing)

[TML1]

No cause its a boring game. Terrible finish by our guys. Still getting used to this.

I just never got how people could say a game the Leafs are close in is boring. To me a game the Leafs are down 3 or 4 goals in now that's boring!

 

[VainGretzky]

Amazing how good Babcock has this mutt and jeff team playing.

 

[Budsfan]

Ennis and Hunwick should both be in the PenaltyBox

 

[Kamal007]

It's almost like he's an 18 year old rookie or somethin.

I'm talking about this season though. If he is to maximize his potential for this season, he needs teammates willing to defer to him, even if he is an 18 year old rookie. He is easily the best offensive player on the team and should be fed pucks while in that end of the ice.

 

[CBinTokyo]

Sounds like a solid road game except for the fact that whenever we play buffalo, it's always a home game.

Where in Japan are you Cookie?

 

[Bomber0104]

It's going to take a while to get used to this type of play. After the Jays win the World Series, people will start paying attention again.

Icing trainwreck after trainwreck has turned a lot of people off the team.

Thanks to the refs, our PK group is getting a ton of practice. We are missing Bozak on the dot...and really missing Jake.... (Marincin is a big bag if bad....guess that's what you get by a player developed by the Oilers)

He has to earn that trust. He'll get the opportunities soon enough. Just has to bide his time.

ya... i was wondering why the oilers would give up a young defender with size for practically nothing. i guess we now know the answer.

still a good trade for us though.

 

[VainGretzky]

Man, our GDTs are dead now. Remember when we would always have at least two threads for a single game?

Kinda hard to get excited over this roster. Will be back to 2 gdt's next year when Marner Matthews and Nylander are on roster.

Take it from a guy that watched every Leaf game during the Ballard years....you will find it easier to cheer for this happy band of misfits than it was to cheer for last years team. Why? Because last years team we expected to win....these guys are expected to lose. So when they play well...as they are, it feels even better.

 

[JackJ]

Sabres should have offered Babcock $100 mil

 

[SprDaVE]

This is when the Sabres take over I think. Quick PP goal. Then another goal in the first 10 minutes of the third.

GG

 

[mcleex]

Rielly has done a terrible job clearing the puck tonight. That's twice now

 

[Kelly]

What channel is this game on

Not me. Completely apathetic towards this team.

I've got next year's draft marked on my calendar and until then...I'll stick to following fantasy hockey.

 

[Banic]

Wtf dumbwick

Are the childish names necessary? Can we at least have some respect?

 

[mcleex]

If we can shut out Moulson tonight then that's a win in my books

 

[SprDaVE]

Phaneuf with a really good game again tonight.

I rather like this.
rather than the bickering, augments, and stuff.



(I am back - i was watching Survivor).

 

[Liferleafer]

Dion is making some really smart breakout plays...safe chips and passes up the boards....really nice to see.

Absolutely! Hope the Columbus scouts are watching.

 

[SprDaVE]

Lupul completely screwed up that pass but at least made a huge backcheck.

 

[TML1]

A really really good game. Hasn't screwed up once!

 

[TMLegend]

If the Leafs could score another goal that'd be great.
