Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-3 in OT, Samsonov terrible game

[alliuk12]

What a great team 3 to 1 lead and blew it again this is like watching the Big Bang Theory it’s just reruns

 

[Aashir Mallik]

awful game. destroy dubas tmrw to wipe this shit from my mouth.

STOP LOSING TO SHIT ASS TEAMS

It’s gonna suck so so bad if we lose to Pittsburgh tmrw. I hope that doesn’t happen

 

[djdev]

honestly, that 4 game win streak is kinda deceiving since outside of MAYBE the vancouver game we havent had a 60 minute effort in any of those games. great to get points but 5 regulation wins is pretty telling.

 

[1specter]

Soderblom is touted by our goaltending director to be a better prospect than our top prospect in Comesso, whose comp is Crawford 2.0– Soderblom as you saw made some very solid saves tonight.

Please tell somebody who cares.

 

[NastyKnies]

We could use Tanev and Zadorov right about now .

Do you know there will be a home and home series against San Jose? That would be FUN.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

We could use Tanev and Zadorov right about now .

We could use Dustin wolf over both of them

Weak goaltending is a big part of it, but they still do not execute the fundamentals well. Given the amount of roster turnover every year, i sure seems that they are not being stressed strongly enough by the coaching staff.

 

[GoonieFace]

The players don’t care - there is no accountability. Top line gives up 2 goals.

Keefe just keeps throwing them over the boards.

I love the jersey - but this group is hard to like.

Yeah but they look real good during the fake hockey, you know when nobody touches them

 

[Duffman955]

Man samsonov looks bad every gane I watch

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Break up Matthews and Marner.

 

[djdev]

now that willys streak is over keefe needs to switch up the 1st 2 lines. outside of knies playing amazing in the 1st game he was put on the 1st line they have been pretty awful(not on knies)

i think they have 2 es goals in like 7 games, both last game, if you remove that game that knies went ham.

 

[WTFMAN99]

With Klingberg on LTIR, maybe try Jones up with the big club? Samsonov has been very bad.

Marner/Nylander could probably swap lines, the 1st line is very quiet.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Samsonov got them a point!

Underrated performance. Should probably have gotten the 2nd star.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Matthews doesn't look like a top 25 player most nights.

Going to be the most overpaid player in the league next season.

When he's on he's clearly a top 3 player in the league. When he's off..... well, at least he's defensively responsible I guess.

 

[ACC1224]

Break up Matthews and Marner.

They don’t seem to be meshing well with Knies

 

[Leafidelity]

My kingdom for .900 goaltending

 

[GoonieFace]

Kuzmenko a healthy scratch for Vancouver, wish our coach had the guts to pull off a move like that.

Weak goaltending is a big part of it, but they still do not execute the fundamentals well. Given the amount of roster turnover every year, i sure seems that they are not being stressed strongly enough by the coaching staff.

The fundamentals you reference is something a group of us have been trying to point out as a problem for awhile now. Every time it manifests itself in the playoffs it immediately gets covered up by the "goalie'd" excuse.

There's such a thing as being "too creative", and the Leafs have this problem.

You mean Samsonov blows it again, the team had nothing to do with that.

The first 2 goals aren't the teams fault

 

[GoonieFace]

They don’t seem to be meshing well with Knies

Knies has been good, the other 2, not so much

 

[Jacquestrapless]

5 regulation wins in 18 games.

 

[BallardEra]

Reavo won’t be happy that the boys didn’t get him a GWG tonight.

 

[ACC1224]

Knies has been good, the other 2, not so much

Yes they don’t seem to be meshing well as a line, that’s what I said.

Why do I feel like we on the razors edge between what we have here now and being in a similar situation as McDavid.
