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

[Nineteen67]

The trade made sense and I don't think they regret it nor they should, but kind of funny the rumors they are looking for a RHD after trading one away.

They’re trying to win a playoff series or two and he wasn’t going to help them.

AM has 2 goals since the start of February, and that includes the 3 Four Nations games.
Call me a little concerned.

His legs are noticeably gone. I’d be resting him a lot the rest of the way.

 

[All Mod Cons]

instead of playing Detroit or Columbus we will play Tampa or Florida now. Makes sense we love a first round exit.

I would actually prefer to play Florida or Tampa than Detroit or Columbus (especially Columbus) in the 1st round, as weird as that sounds.

 

[All Mod Cons]

A few too many people were critical of Brads pick up of Tanev.

I imagine most of those people realize just how important he is to this team. A critical piece for which if he goes down the defense if far less competent. I recall when the Habs beat the Leafs in that series that they stated once Muzzin was injured they knew they were going to win.

Leafs D is a little tougher to play against now than it was then but it can never be too tough or imposing in size for any serious contender.

Yeah. It's crazy how much criticism Tanev and OEL got right off the bat.

Critical of the term and if they ever got in Cup contention, chances are he’d be a burden. The cap is anticipated to go up drastically and they’ll like never be in contention so it may not r matter.

I wouldn't mind Tampa, but I think Florida would be a 1st round exit.

They need to beat one or both of Florida or Tampa in order to get to the ECF. Losing to one of them and it should curtains for this core. Panthers probably add another forward by the TDL in which case I can't see Tre beating their additions of Jones and said forward.

This is why I'd be hesitant to go all in unless it is for Dobson. Without him at 100%, I can't see them beating Florida or Tampa if Vasi remains Vasi.

Not sure that JT shootout attempt was a $7 million offering…

It wasn't even $800,000 worthy !!!

How did Jarnkrok play? Couldn't watch the game and listened on the radio.

For me i think the order would go:

1. Tampa
2. Florida (don't know any Florida fans so shouldn't be any more embarrassing than it is already.
3. Detroit (would be as embarrassing as Montreal and the original Columbus)
4. Columbus (can't see a world in which we beat them in a 7 game series).

Sharks had 31 blocked shots, seems like a crazy amount.

 

[Maple Leaf]

f***ing shoot it .male the d move


They just dont look like a possible champion

Leafs are a first round team sad man

 

[67leafs]

I actually think the sharks are a much better team than their record shows.

Not very skilled but they play hard.
They were 20 secs away from shutting out the Jets last Monday.
