Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 2-1

[Anthrax442]

Such a shame because it was an easily winnable game. Wancouver are hot trash.

 

[MSZ]

Told you @Evilhomer we will never win in Vancouver doesn't matter how bad or injured their team is

He just ignores any PDT posts and pretend nothing happened.

When you and your teammates lack speed it’s hard to play.

Add in that this is a shit passing team and you've got no reprieve.

I think they have enough speed... When they want to.

 

[Gabriel426]

Matthews might be doing us a favour by only signing for 4 years. With injuries and play like this, what kind of player will he be at 31?

AM always alternate seasons of GREAT and Okay. His contract year falls to his GREAT year.

 

[MSZ]

When was the last time the leafs beat the Canucks in Vancouver? I knew we would lose tonight.

Games against Ottawa and Vancouver are automatic losses for the Leafs. No matter how good we are and how bad they are, they will always find away to win against us. They take the games against the leafs very seriously.

3 wins in their last 21 games in Vancouver.

Nothing is as one sided as this since the Philly winning streak against Pittsburgh back in the days.

 

[wingman75]

fair enough but i'd argue that marner sucked even more.

did you not see marner give away the puck like a moron on the 2 PPs we had to start only to get the puck cleared?

just look at Marner against bruins series without matthews to really see what marner is really worth IMO

I actually thought Matthews was worse. Turned the puck over a lot, couldn't pick up a pass, wasn't moving his feet... Same as Marner but I felt Matthews turnovers and lack of effort were in more critical areas on the ice and caused the team to have to unnecessarily defend.

Doesn't matter. Both have to be better. This may have been one of the worst games they have had in the same game.

Such a shame because it was an easily winnable game. Wancouver are hot trash.

We can out-trash anyone given the chance. So many examples just this season alone!

This team is beyond frustrating. The effort and concentration from Matthews and Marner was pathetic. You can tell when those two are going to dog it. We’ve seen it in the playoffs every f***ing year.

Having said that, self inflicted stupidity by OEL. A complete zero from secondary scoring again. When your top players are thinking of their vacation, you need someone else to score. Domi is useless. Robertson spends more time falling on the ice than standing, Holmberg is useless.

I swear if these f***ers put in this kind of effort in the playoffs, Treliving CANNOT sign Marner. Changes are needed.

Do you think he’ll play beyond this contract? When he didn’t take the opportunity to play in a bigger and better market after last contract expired it made me wonder if he wanted to play into his 30s.

Jason Allison ?

 

[Mr_Fun]

Jason Allison ?

God help us. lol

Bigger and better market? Where is God's name is that?

Of course he will, he's all about that green baby. Shorter contract length + rising cap = bigger payday!

 

[BallardEra]

No doubt. He was looking at the cap going up so he could take a piece.

 

[Leafs98]

3 wins in their last 21 games in Vancouver.

I've seen all, like 8 or so , straight wins in Dallas which is very hard to do with the teams the Stars have had. Just one of those things

No, they don’t have speed. Willy does, but Matthews and Marner don’t. Their hand eye is elite but their feet and legs are average.

 

[Evilhomer]

Told you @Evilhomer we will never win in Vancouver doesn't matter how bad or injured their team is

You were right about this one. Such a weird stat. It's wild that the Leafs couldn't beat this team without Hughes AND Demko.

 

[wingman75]

No, they don’t have speed. Willy does, but Matthews and Marner don’t. Their hand eye is elite but their feet and legs are average.

I said "enough". You read that too fast

 

[Nineteen67]

Maybe.? Someone will sign him, but I think he’ll miss out on the Vegas types and will settle with Leafs

I said "enough". You read that too fast

They have enough against some teams, but not most. That’s the problem.

Playoffs? We're not talkin about playoffs here mate.

I am mate. Who cares about the regular season anymore ? We know they’re making the playoffs. The goal is to win the cup Mitchie.

Winning a Cup is not realistic at this point. . They need to go all in to hopefully win round 1 and be competitive enough in round 2 to give them a chance to win that round.

Such a shame because it was an easily winnable game. Wancouver are hot trash.

For sure, there is no excuse for losing to that pathetic Vancouver team. They are not even going to make the playoffs.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

AGAIN.

Why are mods deleting great posts?

 

[Leafs98]

I wonder how many turnovers they committed tonight. Slow skates with hand grenades was painful to watch.

I'll reserve my comments for the playoffs for April. But, I am not expecting anything different to happen.

 

[Racer88]

I hate that my boys Brady and Wahlberg have taken a liking to him

Rip that bandaid off real quick.

Nine years to win two rounds. The fans now have as low standards as team management. Shanahan has done his job well.
