Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 2-1

[TheBeastCoast]

Got run over in the 3rd. Win the next 4 to make up for it

 

[garce]

It was gonna happen sweep Ottawa and move on

 

[2 Slick]

Matthews and Marner showed up, rest of the team looked awful.

Second and third lines were utterly useless once again.

Tavares and Nylander trash as usual.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

That 3rd period was brutal. We were so passive and let Montreal keep the puck the whole time

 

[mikeyz]

This loss is 100% on Keefe. He should have called a T.O after that 1st Habs goal to settle the boys down. Because even Stevie Wonder could see they were out of sorts.

 

[Carltons Cup]

Absolutely brutal and pathetic 3rd period. They deserved to lose.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Not worried about it honestly. Should have been 5-1 entering the 3rd. Habs got some lucky goals to finish the 3rd. Ill take it. Cant win every game. I think leafs, oilers, flames, and jets make the playoffs......habs might be out

 

[OVO16]

50 hits isnt a joke. Montreal treated this game like a game 7.

 

[Budz22]

Nylander has been completely useless in the last 5 games.

 

[Optimist]

Quoting my pre game post...

"Gotta be careful and not take these guys too lightly. Sure, we're 2 and 0 against them this year. But one game went to overtime and the other was a one goal game until we got the empty netter. We could have been 0 and 2."

 

[mcleafs]

Nylander looks awful this year. I’m not impressed with his play at all.

 

[hamzarocks]

Playing mistake free hockey for 40 minutes just isn't enough for Andersen. The Leafs simply can't afford any breakdowns

lool terrible take

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Dgaf levels were through the roof. Horrible

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

NHL hockey games are 60 minutes long. Somebody inform the guys in blue and white.

 

[IPS]

Marner and Nylander need to swap lines.

Yes, I know that Marner/Matthews is insane. But I'd rather two good lines than 1 great line and a tire fire.

We're not paying Tavares 11M to not be able to run a line...

 

[ToneDog]

Gallagher turned it on in the third. Team has 1 decent LWer. Make your move Dubas.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Threw 2 points away. Don't finish your chances, and score 1 goal; probably going to lose.

 

[wingman75]

That was reminiscent of last years team. Balls out first... ah that's enough. See you next game.

Won almost zero races to loose pucks and battles in the 3rd... 2nd wasn't much better.

That 3rd line is just gross. They all need to go away. Basically useless 45 seconds every time they are on the ice.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Gifted them the game, oh well on to the next!

 

[Mats13]

Played like shit tonight, didn’t deserve the win.

Uhh did you only watch the 3rd?

 

[Lightsol]

Montreal Canadiens First Star:
- The Ref in the Leafs' zone, who somehow managed to ignore a blatant trip on Brodie and THEN insert himself as a 6th man for the Montreal forechecker to get the puck to Gallahger for his goal. Way to manage the game, dumbass!
- Honorable Mention: The Linesmen, for also repeatedly running interference for Montreal AND for repeatedly forgetting what "icing" is.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Changes are coming - the third line isn't cutting it
2nd line needs a boost too

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Can’t win ‘em all.

Matthews and Marner can’t be expected to come through all the time, as great as they are.

 

[On-the-Fly]

Maybe time for some load management for the top 2 lines over the next 3.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

I’m sorry but this is an average .500 team if we are playing a regular schedule against every team.
