Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 3-1

[Racer88]

They can never admit not playing well. They don’t hate losing and are an excuse factory. No leadership.

Agree 100%

Well the Green Goblin was a little bit of strange character and had some strange ways of going about things but, he was pretty sharp reading what kind of people he was dealing with. How he dealt with it caused blowback and his demise. Still made a lot of money in the end.

AGAIN!

He wasn’t the only one but Rielly was truly awful this game. By far our worst defenceman, more so than Myers and Benoit.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Hey the Leafs made contact here!

 

[kevsh]

AGAIN!

What's even more alarming is he's at 65% Offensive Zone Starts this year, by far the highest of his career and he's still a defensive liability:

Morgan Rielly - Summary - Natural Stat Trick

Very frustrating game.
Florida is excellent at taking away time and space and killing you with their forecheck.
Our core is going to be in tough in a series against that team and the style they play.
If healthy, they would be my pick to win the East,
Thought McMann had a really strong game.

Leafs played OK with a decent effort, but Florida played hard.

 

[shaner8989]

We will playing them round 1 so this summer is going to be very fun.

 

[ToneDog]

having 4 forwaards or even 3 forwads with 11 AAV+ is nothing but absolute madness especially when they shit the bed with no time and space on ice and in the playoffs you can't buy time and space with fancy bs

Our core cannot play the heavy game the Panthers' core can bring. And the Panthers were missing 3 quality players who can play that game. I don't understand why our management team refuses to admit it. All 3 wanted nothing to do with the Panthers last night. Only reason game was close was Woll.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Turnover after turnover, Florida suffocating defensively. Better get a game plan together or were pooched again

If we get swept by Florida in the 1st round, our pain will soon be soothed when they announce the 98 million dollar Marner extension so it's gonna be a good summer no matter what,

Babs at home loving it

“There will be pain.”

 

[rumman]

Reilly was our worse D

At least he’s consistent……

 

[The Best Leafs Everr]

We are totally winning a cup with these chaps.

I can't see Marner wanting to be back and Leafs management desperate enough to pay him and face the fans backlash who are tired of the same song and dance. These are not the Blue Jays. They are not desperate to overpay a loser because they need to sell tickets. Jerseys on the other hand, a different story.

 

[ACC1224]

Tough to win when the two highest paid show no pulse.

 

[rumman]

Did Matthews just wake up from his beauty sleep?

He’s definately got some creep factor to him…….

 

[rumman]

I have drywall to do much more enjoyable.

I too have better things to do, like cleaning my wife’s hair out of the shower drain……

 

[Commander Clueless]

“There will be pain.”

We always thought he meant pain followed by joy. Not pain end of sentence.

It would be very Leafy to get swept, announce that big changes are coming, and the big change turns out to be a big raise for Marner because as I've read here many times, "you just can't lose talent like that for nothing".

I think the most likely outcome is that the the standings stay as they currently are, so second round at best.

The leader of the Marner PR crew also said he would be signed by the TDL. Hope he joins Dubas in Pittsburgh so he can open up the cottage even earlier for the next 5 years or Dubas is fired (whatever comes first).

The effort was there, but it’s hard for this group to overcome when the opposition is focussed.

He’d be great with a player like Crosby.

Winner tonight controls their destiny IMO. Tampa might run the table if they can win tonight.

 

[rumman]

Sad but true. Phaneuf didn't come out for the fan salute, but Matthews disrespects the fans every year and nobody cares anymore. Sorry state of affairs, I think the team is now for a different group of people.

Sadly Leaf Nation gets the team they deserve, happy with mediocrity, get mediocrity…….
