Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-3 in OT

maybe just put this in your signature?

So you have no answer then, got it.

When you post something that makes no sense, it's OK to just admit it and retract your statement, there's no shame in that. When you're asked to explain yourself and you keep deflecting, you don't come off as someone who's interested in an honest discussion.

I was trying to figure out where the 3rd Leaf was...

Wow this looks bad. If Marchand managed to miss, they would probably get another chance

Is there a whinier bitch in hockey than Pasta

Yeppers , count the steam boats from when he stops at the blue line to when, you see the Bruin put up his arms then count how long it takes him from that Bruin to the net, if he had backchecked at 80% he would have been able to get in Marchands way. The players dont give a shit anymore, they dont fear repercussions from the coach, Keefe needs to go.

LOL Pasta looks angry if anything

He's yelling at the refs cause they didn't make another Reaves phantom call . Those scrums happen all the time and you almost never see a player crying to the refs. Pasta = Whiney little bitch.

Tampa had historical playoff runs from their superstars (point, hedman, and Kuch)

Incredible depth who played shutdown role well (coleman, gourde, goodrow, colton)

Had a bunch of other high level players (cirelli, stamkos for one of the runs, Mcdonaugh, Cernak, Palat, Killorn)

They were way deeper than the leafs at every position basically.

Leafs could not afford Vasilvsky at 9.5M either which began from the 2021 cup

Vasilevsky was their 3rd best player probably across the 3 years (2020 - 2022)

1. Kuch
2. Hedman
3. Vas

The bolts were a super team whose superstars were playing at insanley high level. Just no comparison for any of the dubas leaf teams and them

Yeah, it's not a fair comparison. I think people are underestimating just how deep and strong Tampa was for a 3-4 year period. One of the best teams we have seen in a long time.

 

[Gallagbi]

Vasilevsky held it down after but we didnt challange him enough in that game either. We had less than 10 shots in the 3rd I think

We outshot TB 17-6 in the third.

2021 ECF Game 7 isles it was Gourde/Goodrown who stepped up and won that game 1-0

Hedman, Point didnt do anything there. Vasilevsky made saves in a low scoring game but he didnt score the game winning goal.

2022 R1 vs Us, Nick paul scored twice on us taking advantage of bad defensive plays by Rielly and Brodie and poor goaltending by Campbell.

Vasilevsky held it down after but we didnt challange him enough in that game either. We had less than 10 shots in the 3rd I think

decisive game 2020-2022

point 6 goal 7 assist in 13

you had all the impact of bim defensive side ans yes we could put him 2

hedman his number was not specially high except he scored 20% of tampa goal on decisive game in 2020, but his impact to keep those game at low scoring was huge

I don't think winning in OT is pathetic ok? I think it is fine and am ok with it and would have prefered the Leafs to win in OT last night. I do think it is pathetic to score at over a PPG in your playoff career in games 1 through 4 though, make no mistake about that

 

[hamzarocks]

We outshot TB 17-6 in the third.

Ok my bad then, thought we had a bad 3rd in game 7 vs them

Rest of post stands though with tampa having far abd few offensive powerhouses that Vasilevsky had to shutdown from 2020 to 2022 outside of Leafs and 2022 panthers

I believe he just got flattened by rielly a few seconds ago lol

Vasi was huge in Game 6. Especially in OT.

Weird how the Seattle game was a win that left a bad after taste, but the loss to Boston feels like a good process game and a roadmap for future success.

 

[Enga Olly]

Just what the world needs, more censorship……..

oh bullshit - people can go everywhere on hf and post anti-Leaf garbage. Bruins board will ban you at the drop of a hat for posting facts. Why should we have to endure liars posing as Leaf fans, making the most absurd Leaf-hater posts. Real criticism is fine, but liars trashing this site - why should that be tolerated?

I would have preferred the Leafs win last night as well, especially since I bet real money on it. Scoring over PPG is pretty good though and certainly not pathetic, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Cheers!

Tell me you’re Paul Marner without telling me you’re Paul Marner! Lol.

Neither game was great IMO. The Boston game felt a bit better probably because they're just a tougher opponent but still, down 2 goals going into the 3rd is far from ideal. Seems like we've been down by multiple goals at some point in so many games this year, our team defence has gone down the tubes.

Hmmmmmmm the many many losses to the bruins have not made any difference in the way the Leafs play I’m not sure why this one would. We have been seeing the same crap for the 7 years most of this core has been here………..I wonder what it could be

Bang on.

 

[Sypher04]

Do you actually think this D and more importantly the goaltending is enough to compete against teams like Boston, NYR, Carolina, Vegas, Colorado…. in a 7 game series. Honestly.

Where did I say anything of the sort? I, like most here, am on the record saying the D will need to be upgraded before the playoffs and that’s our healthy D. None of this has anything to do however with whether it would be a surprise if they make the post season.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Woll had a bad game but he was once again good in ot and it’s great to see he can shine in the big high pressure moments

 

[Sypher04]

Yeah, it's not a fair comparison. I think people are underestimating just how deep and strong Tampa was for a 3-4 year period. One of the best teams we have seen in a long time.

FWIW, I was in no way comparing them. In fact the first sentence in the post of mine hamza replied to said that I don’t think you can point to something working for Tampa and assume it would also work for us, for that very reason

I completely agree their team was stacked from top to bottom, but I wholely reject however the idea that Vasilevsky was only their third best player in the two cups

I think you may have missed the point of my post, unless you were actually agreeing with me.

I was not drawing a comparable. I actually was specifically saying you can’t. That said, no player had a greater impact than Vasi during those runs. I stand by that.
