Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-2 to Pittsburgh.

[ULF_55]

Robertson’s really riding the roster protection from that 2 goal game. He hasn’t been good.

Not going to last long.
Too many on the Marlies putting up points.
He doesn't need clear waivers.

 

[Stephen]

I wonder what Sundin is thinking

Considering our 2x $11 million centres looked like 50 year olds, maybe he could be talked into a comeback.

 

[Stephen]

Looks to me that there is something going on behind the scenes with a few of the players. Not sure what it is but I hope they clean up their act soon because it's starting to show on the ice.

Feels like a bit of a rift when your big stars start to look like Pierre Luc Dubois night after night.

 

[ULF_55]

One of the big 4 cap pigs have got to go for a d-man!

Rielly for ?

 

[PromisedLand]

Killer instincts?! This team is not going anywhere again if they make the playoffs playing with this kind of attitude...had a few days vacation and can't even win a game...win it for the team if not for Salming, my goodness...Dubas needs to package Kerfoot and Holl to shake things up!

McDavid is literally hauling that carcass of a team on his back, while Matthews and Marner are thinking about their next contract.

I am hoping the MLSE board show some "killer instinct" and course correct this JOKE that has been spun on the Leafs fans post lou-babcock era

 

[Apex Predator]

He’s not quite good enough and the team isn’t quite good enough to put him back on the Marlies.

I think he’s in the middle where he’s not good enough yet but too good for the AHL. You need to keep giving him chances and hopefully he figures it out.

 

[PromisedLand]

Leafs still have their 1st.

so far..... I am so scared dubas is gonna screw the leafs before he gets canned

The noose around Dubas' neck is tightening with every embarrassing loss.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Best parts of the game was before the puck dropped

 

[Nineteen67]

Tough stretch of games coming up . Does Keefe survive if they go 4-4 in the next 8?

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

With skill players they will turn the puck over. It’s what comes with them being creative. But I’m getting fcking sick and tired of everyone nitpicking a few plays when Marner has been downright better than Matthews and he was better than Matthews tonight and it wasn’t even close.

Uh, Marner killed us against Vegas in OT and gave up the puck leading to the Pens second goal tonight then gave it up again for what should have been another goal. Matthews could have stayed in the dressing room tonight and would have had a better game. I love Marner so this isn't some grudge I have. He has to stop giving the puck away. It's killing them.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

Keefe shuffling the lines.

A 7th round pick and a cheese sandwich, I'm hungry!

 

[ULF_55]

Feels like a bit of a rift when your big stars start to look like Pierre Luc Dubois night after night.

I thought I saw something between Giordano and ?Sandin? tonight.

It was like a pee-off passback on one play in their zone.

Speaking of Giordano, he looks like he's struggling a bit out there. Showing his age?

 

[Stephen]

I think he’s in the middle where he’s not good enough yet but too good for the AHL. You need to keep giving him chances and hopefully he figures it out.

I think when he made the team they should have given him a role and an identity and just let him play. But the yo-yo, the cap management bullshit, the healthy scratches just throws a kid out of rhythm.

Problem with this management team is they’re in desperation mode too and will press any button and try any combination.

 

[Americanadian]

Not going to last long.
Too many on the Marlies putting up points.
He doesn't need clear waivers.

Lots of intriguing options down there.

 

[andora]

One thing i see or hear quite a bit.. and it heard it once tonight and i read it here.. the sentence 'they have too much talent to...' and the sentence has multiple endings.. but i always ask myself outside of the talented 4.. where is all this talent that people keep referring to.

Honest question.. or do 4 really talented guys make up for the rest?

Honestly where is all this talent?

 

[ULF_55]

A 7th round pick and a cheese sandwich, I'm hungry!

Make it grilled and I'm there.

 

[Cleetus]

Keefe said Murray not ready for Tomorrow, starter TBD

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

I feel like this team has been historically crap on Hall of Fame Night.

 

[Al14]

It's time for fire Shanahan chants tomorrow night.

 

[ToneDog]

Uh, Marner killed us against Vegas in OT and gave up the puck leading to the Pens second goal tonight then gave it up again for what should have been another goal. Matthews could have stayed in the dressing room tonight and would have had a better game. I love Marner so this isn't some grudge I have. He has to stop giving the puck away. It's killing them.

We can no longer outscore our mistakes. Four years of Dubas has depleted any worthwhile depth we had. Funny thing is our 4th line has been pretty good.

 

[Tak7]

3.5? He’s a league minimum 900k player right ne

900k is more than league minimum.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

A 36-year-old Malkin is having a better season than a 25-year-old Matthews.

Malkin is undoubtedly an all-time great, but Matthews needs to up his game here.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Hoping a music aficionado can help me a bit.

3rd period about 7.5 minutes in, there's a song playing for the fans in the stadium. Anyone know which one it is?

PS tonight's game was just frustrating on so many levels...most of which have been touched upon regularly.
