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

[hotpaws]

Riddle me this:

If Joe plays game 7
If Foligno plays game 7

what in the f***ity f*** f*** makes Keefe any different from Babcock?

the difference is Keefe is KD's guy so his job's safe while Kyle is GM

 

[SeaOfBlue]

We’re wasting so many heroic performances from guys too. Muzzin gets two goals and we blow it. Spezza continues to be a legend for us and Brodie scores after only getting one all regular season, still lose. Campbell was great tonight, choked the game away.

Who’s left to have a big game?

Mikheyev. He had a golden opportunity from the slot and Price stopped it.

That's the pathetic part. The randos, AHLers, nobodies and has-beens fight hard, while the multimillionaire frat boys think of how many margaritas they'll down in Muskoka. M & M should wear bags on their heads any time they're within sight of the plebs.

Hainsey is still better than most our D. Hahahaha.

Not 40 year old Hainsey. Nope

 

[Nylanderthal]

We see different things in a game. I think Nylander is a perfect reflection of what is wrong with this team, a great skater and shooter but no heart or determination. I love this team during the season, hate them in the playoffs. GL

Willie has been the only big ticket player to show up these playoffs, give it a rest

 

[danron1376]

price had some nice glove saves late and in OT. maybe try shooting blocker side more in the next game.

 

[yubbers]

37 year old Spezza gettin er done :p

what in the f***ity f*** f*** makes Keefe any different from Babcock?

Babs would give Matthews/Marner far too little ice time.

Keefe gives them too much.

Otherwise, they're similar in a number of aspects.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

My only complaint with Campbell is that he gets out of position when there is a scramble. He slides around in there and it ends up going in. How many times have we seen that happen.

Otherwise he has been solid.

Totally agree. I see the great numbers, some big saves but he’s a fish out of water every time there’s a crowd in front and personally goals 2&3 in gm 5 were his fault and the interference challenge was even more pathetic. Why did he throw himself around for the initial shot?

 

[DutchHockeyGuy]

What a nightmare.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Y'all really love making it hard on yourselves lol.

 

[Lenovs]

really disappointing. leafs will win game 7, but come on - how deep a run if you can barely limp over the f*cking habs who lost 30+ games in regular season?

no cup, rentals a waste of picks, try again next season - with a different core, hopefully.

 

[danron1376]

is it time to break up matthews and marner? put matthews with nylander and marner on the 2nd line. also, promote spezza to the 2nd line. spezza likes to shoot and mitch likes to dish.

he was flopping on the ice and reminded me of floppy reimer in that 4-1 game vs the bruins

 

[KMNRB]

They said they wanted to treat this game as a game 7. And they certainly did ... coming out flat like they did in all the game 7's in previous years.

They should've lost this game but almost stole it in the end. Canadiens clearly ran out of energy with all the adrenaline used up in the early part of the game. They had full control of the game and it was the perfect opportunity to put the series away in OT and then they gave the puck and the game away.

Every year the leafs would come up with new ways to torture their fans. Need to psychologically detach myself from the team to lessen the impending pain.

If it wasn't so laughable you would probably cry

We are so mentally fragile with a horrible tendency of finding ways to lose and/or just straight up not showing for large portions of the game it's amazing games are even going to OT

I still hold out hope this bunch learned some lessons today and will come out looking like they give a **** in the next one but I'm not sure what the hell we are going to get

Because if we screw this up nobody within this organization should be safe, upper management, coaches and players all need to be held accountable

 

[djdev]

you know whats really sad, buffalo has won a playoff round more recently than us, let that sink in for a moment

Man, how do you do it? Supporting Wrexham and the Leafs? I'd probably bridge myself if I had to do that. Are you some sort of masochist?

Wrexham have been pretty good this year and you don't really have expectations when you support a club that size

I find it was more satisfying and fun than the Leafs who should be good but somehow still find a way to disappoint

Do they ever.

The whole towns Internet went out in OT about the 6 min mark. I could t believe it. Didnt find out the result till a few hours after. A huge slip due to weather wiped it out apparently....only in Nz.
This team eh? Until they win another cup I will never have optimism regarding this franchise again.
Theyre still in it but I feel like they're out already.
At least super rugby is good.

Just seen pics of a friends brand new house destroyed by a flash flood this arvo. Im over the game now.
Roll on game 7.

 

[saffronleaf]

Burn this shit franchise to the ground and start again. Losers, every last one of them. There needs to be a wholesale change. From the President to the GM to the players to the medical staff to the equipment guys. All of it.

 

[Daniels45]

Can't complain about the effort in overtime. But this team continues to find new ways to disappoint me.

Such a Leaf way to lose too. Dominate the period. Get scored on a seemingly innocuous play.

Lots of goals are scored that way.

 

[Stonehands1990]

Babs would give Matthews/Marner far too little ice time.

Keefe gives them too much.

Well Babcock was clearly right. He has a degree in sports science. Keefe runs 34 & 16 into the ground and now they’re burnt
Hall & Pastrnak both played 16 minutes tonight

 

[Daniels45]

Deserved to win.

Huh?...Monteal dominated this game.
