Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-2

[PanniniClaus]

The smallest of details again on the kill. The Leafs get 4 in the picture with a battle on the wall.. but why does McCabe pin himself to the wall? When the puck springs free he is in no position to defend so it's jus Kampf. If McCabe stays close to the pile but takes more inside ice.. he can recover and make it a 2 v2.

Positively atrocious powerplay.. I don't think I've seen a team in the playoffs yet with so little threat. Not even close. Momentum killing, life sucking powerplay.

 

[keonsbitterness]

LOL

I hate that rat, but he trolled us big time.

 

[wingman75]

Looks like Boston's retool went way better than our rebuild and took wayyyyyy less time.

Nah, they are still at the end of their rope. They have good goaltending, but won't beat either team in the next round. We are just that bad.

Swayman was elite, Samsonov gave up two stinkers. End of story.

Swayman > Samsonov


That is all folks.

I hate that rat, but he trolled us big time.

He knows the Leafs are reading his press clippings.

Oh and Sheldon needs to do something about special teams. Your job is on the line and you better be reworking your special teams that have been a problem for the better part of 2 months.

 

[MSZ]

I'll trade you skinner for samsonov lol

Done deal

Not really, they have the better goaltending.

Swayman made the saves that Samsonov failed to make.

I've been saying this for years now, but Marner looks like a lesbian. Always has. Maybe he is. I don't know. He's probably not. But I don't know, you know?

Maybe you should ask his wife.

 

[GQS]

Only thing worse than losing to the Bruins in the playoffs is that rat POS Marchand getting the winning goal.

 

[Cleetus]

Done deal

Id do it too lol

 

[ACC1224]

My guess is they would cheer.

Tor has always had a rep for being quiet compared to other cities. Even in the playoffs, and this is not the first time someone has pointed it out.

I know I have been to games in Florida, Det, Buf, Car and Mon and every building has been much louder than Scotia Bamk

Yeah it can depend on the opponent, situation, etc.
I’ve been to many games in Montreal that were very quiet.
I’ve never been to a playoff game here that was quiet.

 

[34]

I'll trade you skinner for samsonov lol

They are both trash.

 

[I am Canadian]

No thanks, he needs to get traded at the draft.

I get where you are coming from, but you aren't getting a player better than Liljegren on the open market for less than 2.5M

2.5M is #5 money.

 

[Nineteen67]

The Ds inability to pass the puck to the forwards is another glaring weakness in this team. I had the Leafs winning in 6 but unless Boston has a complete meltdown there’s not much chance. They look like they’re back to being the 12th-16th team in the playoffs.

 

[sxvnert]

This organization has become such a train wreck that we're now blaming the fans.

 

[BertCorbeau]

What's worse is that it was a perfect shot .. He a mail slot to fit it in and he did.

 

[MSZ]

There is a reason why Washington gave up on him. They let him go without any assets returned.

He is literally this generation's James Reimer. OK regular season goalie, garbage comes playoff time.

 

[colchar]

Just curious, why do you think 99% of the media are coming to Marner's defense? Damien Cox is defending Mitch who is returning from ankle injury and thus should not receive criticism. Leave him alone the media said all day today. Kyper and his gang very upset today at criticism of their pal Mitch. Don't criticize Mitch after 2 games. Wait to the end of the playoffs to even think about criticizing Mitch Marner.

And they say the Toronto Media is too hard on players??

Because Steve Simmons criticized him and everyone hates Steve 'I Have a Face That Even my Mother Wants to Kick' Simmons, including the rest of the media.

SIMMONS: Mitch Marner stars as The Invisible Man in Leafs series vs. Bruins

The list of right wingers who have outscored Mitch Marner in his career is a short one: Nikita Kucherov and David Pastrnak.

Anything to absolve the guys of responsibility on the ice.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

I do think if we lose that marner wont be able to come back. Fans will destory him. I think his time will be done and it would be bad if we brought him back in terms of relationship.

He also would accept a trade because i think he is done with it too

 

[PromisedLand]

Bowen calling out the suits LOL

He hates the media here, he would definitely prefer other markets with a lot less pressure on him.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Marner did a couple of good things but overall that’s the type of game he can’t be effective in.

At the mid point of the series he has a C grade.

You're being generous. Now factor in salary.
