Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-2

[Cleetus]

Damn they might actually lose this series.

might? pretty sure we were the underdogs coming in

 

[TMLegend]

I hate the Bruins so much. They can tackle Matthews and Marchand can instigate whenever he wants and never get called for it. Refs had a big impact on the game tonight and it's sad to see.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Season right there. 5 PPs

Keefe absolutely sucks

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Clown ass rush to end the game there, idiot penalty by Captain Dumbass behind the Bs net because that’s where you want to take those, SHAMEFUL goaltending that would make Patrick Lalime proud and what else? Ah right we can’t finish and got goalied.

Infuriating game. Go half the game to score a goal, Sammy gives the Bs a freebie. Tie the game with a late 3rd period goal, Sammy gives it right back 28 seconds later.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Can't win hockey games going 1/11 on the powerplay through 3 games...

They have to figure that out yesterday.

Only down 2-1, still lots of hockey to be played boys and girls. If this is maximum effort we don't deserve anything anyways.

I'll leave these...

 

[1specter]

The team just isn't good enough. They melt under the lights and constantly disappoint their home fans paying $1000s to get playoff tickets. The stars don't show up, they can't score on a PP and can't kill a penalty, and can't get a big save. Absolute disgrace, mentally weak team. On top of that your newly signed 11.5M man can't even suit up because his asshole hurts

 

[NJG]

Powerplay is 1-11 Keefe keeps the same powerplay every time lol

 

[BertCorbeau]

Love how Marchard is able to take Marner's legs out for the ENG but Tavares battling for a puck putting his hand on someone is a penalty.

Nonetheless the Leafs' Leaf'd.

Looked good after the Marner goal but then the typical playoff script followed:

- soft goal against
- massive special teams letdown
- caving after scoring a goal

I can't remember a team that allows the opposition to push back so easily after they score a goal. It's unreal how mentally fragile this core is.

Swayman is just unbeatable this season.

 

[Aashir]

Samsonov let in 3 shots that should all be saved. Should've given us 1 of them, but he's too f***ing dogshit

Special teams will be the reason we lose this

If a series loss means marners bitch ass gets sent out, I'm all for it. He's such a cancer p***y ass player who's already been replaced by domi. He should play RD with how much time he spends up there. He's starting another f***ing goalless drought streak lol

this series, with swayman in net, is going and will go exactly how 2018 and 2019 went but with the added flavour of marner being dogshit. The goals we score take 10x as much effort because our players cannot finish and the other team always has a great goalie.


bruins in 7 was my original prediction, I still go with that. Marner's too much of a p***y to show up and Matthews isn't gonna Mcdavid us through this

 

[Superstar]

Goaltending wins championships.

That's not us. Sadly.

Sad thing is, you don't even need prime Patrick Roy or Martin Brodeur goaltending. Just need a competent goalie who could make timely saves and aren't giving up back breaking goals like Samsonov.

 

[saffronleaf]

sammy and mitch should have their asses kicked in the locker room

 

[BraveCanadian]

Not sure I have ever seen a team so consistently give up a goal immediately after scoring. I think they must have set the record.

Horrible on the PP.. shoot the damn puck. And so many players on this team, including Marner a couple of times, turning the puck over a few feet inside the offensive blueline and it drives me CRAZY. If you don't have a play dump it!!!

 

[hockeyes]

It was inevitable they were going to lose after wasting their power plays, you just can't expect to win when you don't take advantage of situations. Bruins won this game in about 2 minutes of smart play taking advantage.

The back breaking beach ball 1st goal certainly didn't help but we all knew that was just a matter of time.

 

[Roo]

Special teams cost us this one. Not much else to be said. Thought the refs were pretty lame in this one, Boston got away with a lot tonight.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

I hate the Bruins so much. They can tackle Matthews and Marchand can instigate whenever he wants and never get called for it. Refs had a big impact on the game tonight and it's sad to see.

Dude we had 5 PPs

Refs helped us.

We suck.

I’m done with this coaching staff.

Marner is still scared. No drives to the net. Idgaf

 

[LaPlante94]

Did we win the expected goals battle though? That's how you win the big prize.

 

[ToneDog]

Goaltending wins championships.

That's not us. Sadly.

Told Swayman we'd draft him, then take Scott ahead of him. Now he owns us along with Debrusk.

 

[stickty111]

Brightside: we're one night closer to Keefe's goodbye party.

Tell him to take Brad with him

 

[Eternal Leaf]

There's only so much a team can do when Marner, Samsonov, and Keefe are sabotaging the group from within.

They need Nylander back to have any chance.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Thought Marner might get it going after setting up Knies .. but nope.

 

[notbias]

Keefe being worse when he controls the matchups is very telling....

Probably nothing to do with nerves...

 

[Raging Bull]

I can't see Boston going with Ullmark next game, might be f***ed with this kid in net. Oh to have elite goaltending.....

 

[Jojalu]

As frustrated as I am, I still have liked a lot of what the Leafs have done.

The series can be won.

I am a little nervous that even though they are playing a tougher, meaner playoff style, the same issues still plague them.

Also a little tired of losing at home.

 

[Cynical]

Your core players need to be strong on the puck. We let Hyman go and kept Marner. Marner isn't skating so he's useless and he's very clearly scared of the puck. Most teams know this now so I wonder if the Leafs can even get good value for him. Matthews and Tavares are strong on the puck but can't skate. They just don't have guys who are multifaceted.

 

[Canadian Finn]

fun.
