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

[DueDiligence]

The Goalies played great. both Leaf goals and the Habs OT winner were deflections off their own Dmen.

 

[Dave92]

Can you guess which team was built by a p***y who claims he had to stop playing hockey at 15 because of concussions?

 

[Woodman19]

We shy away from finishing checks and we try to pass perfect tic tac toe plays through traffic constantly. Is it any surprise we struggle in the playoffs?

 

[CapspaceKiller]

> Marner has cracked mentally, awful game
> Matthews playing soft, doesn't want it
> Campbell was very good, without him this ends like 6-0
> Nylander was good, so was Kerfoot but they aren't getting enough ice time
> Dermott sucks, awful game from beginning to end. I don't want to see him again
> Bogosian was solid
> Hyman and Foligno where useless
> If you aren't going to play Thornton in OT, why play him at all?
> So much panic overall. They don't have the mental makeup for playoffs success.

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

We're cursed. There really is no other explanation for this franchise.

True story. Wtf.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Somehow i knew if mtl won it was going to be because a leaf f***ed up

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Cursed Franchise

About the only thing you can say.

though is it a curse when you deserve to lose because you didn’t put in any effort the first 50 minutes of two elimination games in a row? The players should feel ashamed and embarrassed and unfortunately when they lose Monday, it won’t matter to the superstar core

 

[TiMo15]

No word. Dominated the whole OT and one turnover, done.

 

[Havoc]

Good job Keefe that stupid f***ing challenge was literally the difference if Keefe doesn't win game 7 both he and Dubas need to be fired this is no longer acceptable

If Campbell makes even the slightest effort to get back into the play it's probably called back. He has some controller dying moments .

 

[Coachcorner]

Leafs DOMINATED that OT for the entire period and the Habs get one good chance and win it.

Definitely sire. you seen it hard. This was the the best OT I've seen the leafs play in years on the OT.... still lost. But hey, the game seven, its OURS! We gon WIN THAT ONE HARD! I KNOWS IT! I' aint even surrprised if tavares comes back. He the harders and so close. In the second round thats a guarantee sire. But yeah, some otha sucka will decide it for us in the game seven. Sire.

yup , Soupy chocked like a bitch

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Another key giveaway by a defenceman that leads to a goal. This franchise is cursed. If Thornton plays next game I have no respect for this management team. He offers sweet duck-all on the ice and obviously what he offers in the dressing room has not made a difference when it counts.

 

[Kypdurron]

To Marner and Matthews defense they are constantly playing against Danault who was called by McKinnon the toughest guy to play against... They have to find a way to get both out of Danault's way

 

[The Kessel Run]

It was a deflection.

Bogo was right at his release. Lots of time to react. If he's in position, he has it.

 

[RaptorLeaf13]

Don’t think this team is good enough to win anything even if we did pass the first round. What a waste of money on our big money players. Spezza is outperforming our big money players. Leafs can’t take it to the next level when it matters most.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

We can't get by f***ing Montreal in the 1st round and are gonna go back to having to get by Tampa and Boston next year? Yeah a retool might be in order.

 

[Griffin76]

That was a floater...c'mon Jack!

It went off a shin pad.

 

[lottster14]

No, we really didn't. Did you watch the whole game?

Without both Price and Campbell this is a different game, they both kept their teams in it. Habs choked late and Leafs dominated OT. It's close but I'd say we were better overall

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Bottom line, 16 and 34 need to dominate. 1 goal between them through 6 games is beyond awful.

Go big in game 7 or go home.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Lol if Leafs lose Monday they STILL won’t have played hockey in June. There’s no way the Hockey Gods are letting them win that one.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

0/7 in series clinching games since 2004.

0/8

 

[Lightsol]

Good job Keefe that stupid f***ing challenge was literally the difference if Keefe doesn't win game 7 both he and Dubas need to be fired this is no longer acceptable

I'm sorry, but that was the most obvious Coach's Challenge I've ever seen. Toffoli was absolutely interfering with both Brodie AND Campbell, and of course the NHL takes less than 20 seconds to decide that it's good. Contrast with the 8 minutes they spent on the Game 3 goal with Thornton's stick. Anyone doubt they'd already decided to call this one a goal before they even looked upstairs?

 

[Cynical]

Lol that's what happens when you don't play for 2 and a half periods.

 

[lcs1979]

This is what you get when you don’t finish it off when you had the chance. You knew the refs would never call all of Montreal’s grabbing and hooking. Bunch of cheaters but still you had the chance.

I hope they lose game 7 so we can get rid of Dubas and trade for a good defender. Having 5 average guys doesn’t cut it. You need an elite top pair. Rather lose now and win the cup then get knocked out by the Jets.

 

[MSZ]

0/8 soon

Yes, most realistic fans can see it from miles away.

Can't wait for those blowhards to show up to tell us "we are going to win."

It is not happening with this core.

 

[rdogg]

Suzuki and Kotkaniemi came to play these playoffs.

Matthews and Marner haven’t.

That’s the difference.

Matthews and Marner are already rich and haven't won a damn thing.

Suzuki and JK will have to earn it.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Not watching game 7. I know the outcome. They’re going to lose. And in the big moments, that’s what losers do. And this is a team full of losers.

 

[Nooodles]

If we lose Game 7 I will burn all my jerdeys and give up on this whole thing.

Health comes first.

The Leafs can actually cause cancer. No joke, constant stress year after year. I just had enough.

 

[Dave92]

Guys Campbell played well but the end was a choke by him too. You have to make big saves to win, he's let in the first scoring chance in OT in back to back games.

It's not his fault, but if that's what you're gonna do expect to lose a lot.
