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

[7even]

Well, I'm out of excuses. Team's not that good. Been losing games they should be winning for over a month. What's the opposite of a killer instinct? We have that.

 

[34]

1st round exit incoming. Brace yourselves. This team won’t win a single game in the playoffs. It will be a sweep.

 

[Jmo89]

Get well soon Fred, we may still need you.

I doubt he's the answer, but it's looking like the other guy isn't either...

 

[gordonshumway]

Let's face it, this team had absolutely no excuse to lose tonight... none, zero. And we all saw what happened. I don't know what these moves Dubas made were meant to accomplish, but the way this is looking, getting past a 1st round will be definition of success in their eyes. If you think this core is gonna do more than that you're kidding yourselves.

 

[TMLegend]

Campbell needs to be better. 6 out of the last 8 he's been below .900.

Not convinced the net will be his if Freddy comes back, as much as people don't want to hear that.

 

[Marshy]

Jack: "I'll be better next game."

Ya how about shutup.

 

[Gallagbi]

There are those Leafs we all know and love.

Bad goaltending tonight, both Horvat goals were soft.

Marner and Matthews were an embarrassment tonight. Team really needs to find itself, they're completely lost.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Outgoalied.

 

[mikeyz]

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

They're not hot takes my friend. They're facts.

Nothing has changed with this team in 4 years.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

How do you lose this game lol

Dermott gets caught with Bogosian just getting on on a horrible change.
Holl gets stuck trying to cover two Canucks in the crease as Matthews watches off to the side and Rielly is floating at the point for some reason.
Refs call back a clear goal because the NHL can't afford more than one decent camera in the net.
Muzzin chases Myers into the neutral zone in OT for some reason while on the ice with Tavares (wtf?).

 

[Mats13]

I’m sure Campbell will get a lot of hate for having a rough couple of games.

I’d like to point out that this guy has been a wall for us since we got him. No goalie has it every game.

 

[stickty111]

Once again this team is running into finishing trouble. But for reasons only knuckle dragging Neanderthals would appreciate this team thought the best option was to go out and get a 33 year old grit grinder and let Hall walk to the Bruins for as cheap as he could be gotten.

Foligno better f***ing impress. Because right now we’re hurtling towards another pathetic first round exit because WE CAN’T F***ING SCORE WHEN IT MATTERS!

But heart and grit. Heart and grit!!!!!!!!

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Lots of bipolar fans as usual. Last week team is awesome Campbell with the record and playoff starter now he's trash and Toronto still one of the top teams is garbage. Take a breath. This team lost to Holtby playing like it was game 7 of the finals.

 

[Torontonian]

Pump the breaks on Campbell being the new starting goalie, last 4 games hes been bad and tonight he let in 2 real bad goals he needs to stop. Definitely outplayed the Canucks tonight but the better goalie won tonight. Our PP is real ugly.

Heres hoping its just a bruise on Hymans knee and nothing significant.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Another lengthy losing streak. Not a lot of confidence with this team in the playoffs.

 

[BertCorbeau]

These types of games happen when you’re in a slump. Hate seeing it this close to the end of the year but hopefully they’ll bust out soon.

At least the PP scored and looked dangerous for the first time in awhile.

 

[A1LeafNation]

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

Campbell is off lately.

What y'all think tired?

I always said he isnt a starter. 1a/b at best.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Shame this game happened the week AFTER the trade deadline instead of before. Could’ve held on to our picks instead of spending them on guys who also have no offensive capabilities.

 

[francis246]

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.

none of our Covid acquisitions have played a game..

 

[djdev]

i dont think campbell has the mentality to be a starter, you need to be arrogant and overly confident as a starting goalie, because you are gonna let in stinkers and you need to put them aside quickly. he is way too hard on himself and you are seeing the result of a goalie who loses confidence way too easy.

 

[wingman75]

That is a few games that were there for the taking that we have not taken. Zero killer instinct. Not a lot of character either. Goaltending still sub par.

 

[DarkKnight]

I doubt he's the answer, but it's looking like the other guy isn't either...

Why I said “may”.

 

[rdogg]

I wish we kept our first rounder. No way Foligno will do anything to move the dial

 

[The Apologist]

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.

It should be nearly automatic for this team....

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Goaltending is a problem. A big, big problem.
