Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 3-2 In OT

[Sypher04]

Here comes all the hot takes and overreactions. I'll see you guys next time

 

[LadyLala]

Death, taxes, and a Leafs first round exit

 

[hockeyes]

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

The perfect blend of skill, bad luck, incompetence and hughson to maximize frustration and embarrassment.

On a side note - 3 on 3 is every bit as gimmicky garbage a way of deciding a hockey game as a shootout.

 

[hamzarocks]

I'm not even sweating. Leafs in 5-6 in the playoffs

 

[The Apologist]

How do you lose this game lol

Are you kidding me? We're the Leafs, it was a guaranteed loss. This is the least killer instinct filled team I've ever watched.

Bahahahahaha

Good for the Canucks. The Leafs got exactly what they deserved tonight. You want to squander 20 ridiculously good chances, against a team missing a bunch of players, starting a backup goalie and coming off of Covid-19?... You to bathe in your embarrassment for a while.

I was actually rooting for the Canucks down the stretch (as I posted in the game day thread). Leafs didn't deserve to win with inability to finish!

you’re really the worst type of leafs fan, really disgusting attitude

 

[Mats13]

Don’t care that we lost.

We outplayed them. They got lucky all game and it was topped off by the bullshit goal that was taken away from us.

What pisses me off is we might be without Hyman. I’m legitimately worried about our season now.

 

[CanadasTeam]

 

[MoreMogilny]

4 in a row now.

Aren’t getting goaltending or depth scoring. Whole team looks like they are in lazy mode. Well, not the whole team but certain key members.

In other words just typical Leaf stuff.

 

[Confucius]

The magic number falls to 6.5 games (Van losses/ Tor wins) and we earn the X.
we played well enough to win just can't get anymore unlucky.

 

[ToneDog]

2 hours and 40 minutes I can't get back. Dubes went all in on a team that can't beat a team coming off Covid. On top of that Hyman might have a knee injury. Sigh.

 

[ACC1224]

Brutal

 

[ClarkSittler]

There's the Leafs I know and love. Comedy Gold.

I thought Campbell was the answer, he's not.

[Bomber0104]

It's long past time we accept this team has a "finish" problem. We've too long blamed it on "ran into a hot goaltender".

Blaming the outcome on one or two players on the ice was always a pretty bad take.

 

[Tlo1]

Reilly had possession below the goal line and throws the puck up the ice to no one!

 

[LeafGrief]

We got goalied tonight but the PP is still ass, the refs are a joke, and worst of all Hyman might be out long term.

What an awful embarrassing game. Holtby stood on his head but we had to get that done.

And oh boy we don't have a goalie controversy we've just got a genuine goalie problem.

 

[LadyLala]

How do you lose this game lol

Because Leafs

 

[BertCorbeau]

Leaky defensively at times but all over them offensively... Holtby stole it with some luck. That puck intuitively was in but it couldn’t be easily seen.

Campbell with a subpar game.. hope Hyman is ok.

Games in Vancouver just seem to be a tough go for some reason.

 

[The Apologist]

shoutout Rielly for the awareness to pass to Matthews when he didn't even have a f***ing stick

This team has problems

Like clockwork.......
Yeah, that was totally the issue tonight.

 

[Jojalu]

It's long past time we accept this team has a "finish" problem. We've too long blamed it on "ran into a hot goaltender".

For the amount of quality chances they get it appears you are right. They still score a lot, but should have way more

 

[2 Slick]

I love Jack but he doesn’t strike me as a goalie that will take you all the way.

He's not. Even during his run he was showing flashes of being sub-par. Like that game where he gave the puck away twice in one game and it ended up in his net.

He's like .850 his last six games or so.

I love him, but lets be realistic, he's a back-up goaltender, that's all he'll ever be.

 

[Clark4Ever]

We should have blown this game open but Holtby was outstanding.

Campbell is off lately.

 

[leafsfan5]

When's Freddy back lmao

 

[Gabriel426]

This is disappointing. This team is fundamentally weak mentally. They lack that killer instinct. Even if they win the next 11 games, it looks like another 1st round exit. They don’t have that switch in them to kill off their opponents.
