Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-2

[glue]

It’s quite simple. When you can’t kill penalties and can’t score on the power play, you lose in the playoffs.

On full display games 1 and 3.

When we’re built on offensive stars you would think PP is the strength and scoring goals atleast 3 per game they could pull off but our players can’t fight through the toughness of the playoffs

 

[Confucius]

It ain’t that tuff to draft one. Boston picked swayman 1 pick after we picked goalie Scot

It’s why I say we need a truckload of picks, we can’t just hope to pick correctly with our one or two.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Scott might have been this level... he was probably our most promising goalie by a fair bit... his numbers were pretty crazy.

Far more likely he wouldn’t be at Swayman’s level. He had good WHL stats but so did Justin Pogge.

Swayman himself said that he was sure the Leafs were going to take him. Unfortunate to see Boston end up with him while we get the dud again like Pogge/Rask

Well even that would be the coaches fault, you shouldn’t draft up a plan the players aren’t capable of executing. Reminds me of a team golf tournament I was in. My partner says just hit a slice over the pines that were 60 feet high and almost 200 yards away. Sure thing says I. Lmao!

So the plan the players executed that got them to be the second highest scoring team in the league is the problem? I see.

Coach more than likely goes, but if the core is not changed it will not matter.

@ThrowDemTongs here is tweet you would agree on lol

The crowd went nuts when Pasta and Zacha were laid out on the same shift.
Not sure what else there was to cheer about really?

 

[Rob Brown]

why would you ask me if I was there, Bowen was? I posted the tweet, why are you asking stupid questions, does it matter if I was, Bowen was... im not mad, just perplexed at your odd question? which makes no sense of course

It’s not odd, just gets tiring hearing people whine about the atmosphere. Pay the money and be part of the solution.

 

[wingman75]

Shanahan Keefe Samsonov Marner Tavares not part of the solution.

JT is not going anywhere.

 

[Cleetus]

It’s not odd, just gets tiring hearing people whine about the atmosphere. Pay the money and be part of the solution.

lol yea that falls on me wtf? when did I wine I posted a tweet from Bowen, and you call me out? lol, buzz off what a stupid take

 

[PromisedLand]

I HATE Marchand.

I hate Marchand too... But I do respect that he backs up his antics with play

No Chara, No Bergeron, No Krejci

No player in Boston this season to crack ppg or even 70+ points besides Pasta


Have to respect what Boston is accomplishing without the so called "fancy bullshit players"

 

[A1LeafNation]

JT is not going anywhere.

He is in a year.

 

[Confucius]

So the plan the players executed that got them to be the second highest scoring team in the league is the problem? I see.

Coach more than likely goes, but if the core is not changed it will not matter.

The core who were the 2nd highest scoring team in the league needs changing? Yeah we both can play that card. Lol

 

[BrannigansLaw]

When we’re built on offensive stars you would think PP is the strength and scoring goals atleast 3 per game they could pull off but our players can’t fight through the toughness of the playoffs

Our PP1 unit is practically half the teams cap space and these bums can’t buy a goal.

I’m curious what the cap hit of other PP1 units are. I would think Colorado’s is gotta be up there with Makar, MacKinnon and Rantanen

 

[On-the-Fly]

I don't remember what had happened, maybe a goal, and the camera panned the crowd and there were 10 maybe 12 suits sitting there like corpses while the rest of the crowd was going bonkers. Fckn losers. Corporate tix for some arseholes who don't give a f*** about hockey let alone the Leafs. Money in the bank though.

I wish it weren't true but it is.

Golden f***ing goose.

 

[Rob Brown]

If you can’t understand what I’m saying then all good.

 

[The Shadow]

Another stupid penalty by Bertuzzi and they paid the price for it

 

[Rare Jewel]

@ThrowDemTongs here is tweet you would agree on lol

Yep,

They only do "Go Leafs Go" chants when they're up by a goal and things are going well.

 

[Jojalu]

Who would you like as Tre’s replacement?

I like the makeup of the team so far under Tre.

I liked the team Dubas put together for the playoffs last year too.

I would like to see Tre have a full offseason after watching this team in the playoffs to see what he thinks they need to do.

 

[egd27]

Liljigren gave the puck away behind the net (again) with even the smallest whiff of pressure and that led to the goal.

He's been the direct result of far too many gaffes and has had no redeeming plays these playoffs.

There is no way I would want him back in Toronto.

I'd bench him going forward and just let him walk or trade him.


f*** that shit.

The rest of the team is throwing the body around like it's Wrestlemania, and this jackass is scared of his own shadow.

Why is he on the ice when everybody that has a clue about hockey knows that a major push back shift is coming from the Bruins?

 

[Jmo89]

They lost because of the PP. Even Samsonov with with his weak goal and the brain fart after Bertuzzi tied don't matter as much. 0/5 on the PP killed them.

 

[Jojalu]

Contrast this to the crowd in Edmonton. Night and day.

Or Winnipeg. Even Vancouver. I don't get it

 

[Cleetus]

If you can’t understand what I’m saying then all good.

seem you are the one that does not understand, I posted a tweet to a member who was calling the building quiet, and you call me out? lmao go away

 

[Torontonian]

Eyes always on the wrong thing with our coach, talking about Marchand ability to draw pens, talk about the inability to create and execute a power play.

 

[Confucius]

He is in a year.

I’d bet a month of posting he stays. He will make less ofcourse but he will be here for a couple more years

 

[PromisedLand]

Our PP has really been letting us down in the playoffs.
Last two series they are 3 for 22.
I think over the last 4 series it's 13 for 70.
How can a team with the best goal scorer and two other 100 point talents get shutdown like this?

Lots of mistakes this game and brutal first goal by Sammy but our PP was very bad.

Leafs PP is very predictable and a f***ing JOKE

At present the ONLY SHOT on the PP is Matthews everybody is a "passer".

Example: Tampa
everybody makes plays and takes a shot keeps the goalie honest -> Stamkos, Kucherov, Point, Hedman

Leafs also don't have a point shot. Tre tried to address it with Klingberg but that gamble failed

 

[ULF_55]

Looking forward to end of round 1.
There will be a reason to celebrate.
