Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 3-1 to Columbus

[Suntouchable13]

Not bluntly, but they look horrible out there. Besides Bozak and Kadri, there's no skilled forwards in the line up at all and they can't be out there all the time. They're missing his presence in front of the net (especially on the PP tonight) his ability to shield to puck, and he's the best threat to score on the entire team every given night. Maybe it's just a one off game, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see a really long losing streak starting tonight. Scoring will be very scarce and Reimer can't stand on his head all season.

Sorry, I don't think that Bozak is that skilled. Kadri is the only one.

I'm beginning to think we aren't very good. ...

No JVR breaks everything down that Babcock could do with this teams lines. The only hope would have been Nylander or move and don't laugh Leivo up a bit, but that's just hoping for some serious kid luck.

Does Panger ever win this thing? Buying the Ottawa Senators over the Leafs seems like a lol worthy decision assuming you could afford both.

well they both can't pick the same answer. 1 of them had to take the stupid answer that was never gonna win. They likely get fed their answers by production and have to do their best to back it up.

The Leafs are who we thought they were.

Good pick coming up.

 

[LeafsMonster]

He didn't see it until the last second because he had an uncovered guy standing in his face. Then it hit him and landed at his feet and the guy got it before he could get down on it. That's what it looked like but I was also busy watching Parenteau skating around Benny Hill style.

Haha yeah this is accurate.

You can think what you want, and a lot of posters thought it was all Kessel.

They were wrong.

 

[LaPlante94]

Missed the 1st 2 periods. How has Jones looked for Columbus?

And Leivo

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Not looking good the last few games but at least the tank is still strong.

 

[Le Cobra]

Gardiner has been making good defensive plays

like...

"if you could choose owning the Senators vs. owning the Leafs...."

THERE IT IS, THE MOST PREDICTABLE SPORTSNET TIMER

we fell asleep.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Puh. Grabner could have been called for interference there.

 

[thewave]

Liking Leivo. Would put him on the top line and test him with Kadri

 

[LeafsMonster]

We may never score again

 

[happyaccident]

October Leafs all over again, barely a hint of scoring chances.

 

[Le Cobra]

The Columbus goalie is looking like he's gonna get a SHUTOUT.

 

[Daisy Jane]

We may never score again

and we get a Finn.

works for me

he chose Ottawa? ookay.

1) It's a stupid segment.

2) He grew up in the Ottawa area and played junior in Ottawa.

3) Most importantly, it's a stupid segment!

he didn't choose Ottawa, they have to take different answers, they arrange who's going to take what beforehand, the producers likely told Panger he had to pick Ottawa likely because of #2 in the above post, that's how it works.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Are people actually blaming Rielly/PAP on the 2nd goal? Hunwick was in no mans land......

 

[Moncherry]

Sorry, I don't think that Bozak is that skilled. Kadri is the only one.

I wonder when the myth that Kadri is better than Bozak in every single facet will die?

 

[thewave]

Leafs offensive unawareness is off the charts in this one.

 

[Moncherry]

Losing JVR was the death knell to this offence.

 

[Le Cobra]

Leafs picking it up this period
