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

[BrannigansLaw]

Good game, but not a good result. You’d like to be on the winning side here, but I think that was a pretty complete effort.

Sucks that the winning goal was such a clusterf***.

7 years of posts (not you specifically) like these and going strong.

When can we expect any of these efforts to turn into more than feel good, pat on the back efforts I wonder

 

[Byron Bitz]

This team is the same as last year. Nothing has changed.

They were better last year, this team could really use ROR

 

[Shooter2x]

I'm okay with Nylander ducking out on Marchand. Can't trust that guy

 

[saffronleaf]

Holy shit. Wtf was that JT. Just saw the replay.

kinda sickening

supposedly he leads by example

 

[Martin Skoula]

I was just thinking they lost this because of Reaves.

That’s stupid, it was only close because of Reaves. He made a big deal about how Marchand was lucky he wasn’t on the ice with him after Liljegren last game and this game it showed, Marchand was playing scared all game.

Imagine if we had some euro nobody dipsy doodling on the 4th line and taking shots on net instead of keeping Marchand in check via his intimidating physical presence? Easily a 5-0 loss.

 

[BallardEra]

Take the point and run.

Reaves should be benched and put a better player out there on the 4th line.

 

[Stephen]

If Reaves is not going to settle scores against a rat like marchand then he doesn't deserve to be in the roster. period.

All he managed tonight was to paste Matt Poitras into the boards and take a roughing.

 

[Evilhomer]

It's Ok, we're still the "vastly superior" team, just ask @Evilhomer

I don't believe I ever called the leafs vastly superior to the bruins. We're not talking the Seattle kraken here.

 

[trellaine201]

A drop in regular season play but hope we’re ready and in the playoffs. The east is a real battle.

 

[wingman75]

We were the better team tonight and we lost.

It is somewhat ironic the best game the team has played in weeks is the one they lose. I mean, no mystery why.

But hopefully that is a turn to better play. Add that with some clean goaltending and I think we could have a nice little run.

 

[PromisedLand]

Domi scores tonight which was awesome.. doesn’t see the ice in OT.

Ouch

Keefe is the DUMBEST coach I've ever seen. He is also not good for team morale IMHO

 

[Al14]

It sure looked to me that Nylander had money on a Bruins win !!!

So lackadaisical with the puck as the last man back !!!

Nylander with a single point since Sweden trip. Hero to zero since returning from Sweden.

I'll take the single point as our Leafs surely didn't deserve any points.

I just don't see what's so great about the Bruins. They are structurally sound, so coaching is doing a good job.

Not a happy Leafs fan tonight !!!

 

[Lightsol]

Well I guess Nylander has won enough good will to not make me too upset that Marchand beat him back to the zone and scored with Nylander nowhere to be seen.

Was he still laying down in the neutral zone? You know what, he’s been good, I’m not gonna bitch about it too much.

Woll looked great, Matthews popped two. Got the tie

I thought Nylander blew a tire on that play too. Then I watched the replay. He didn't blow a tire; Marchand gave him an Ulf Samuelsson special.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

mg tavares on that back check for OT goal was sooo bad. at least nylander got checked down.

A real coach would not overplay JT in OT.

Face off and get off

 

[BertCorbeau]

What is Woll doing on that OT goal. Literally no reason to flop around , the first shot was a muffin.

He was challenging Pasta to take away a shot .. nothing wrong with how he played him on the breakaway

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Joseph Woll is 100% to blame for this, the 1st and 3rd goals were garbage.

Can't wait to hear the excues for this one.

Absolutely awful on those two goals, and had that 3rd goal stood up as the game winner he would have been absolutely roasted for it leading to the loss.

But he fought for them in OT and made some huge saves yet again. The team defence, and in particular Nylander, let him down in the end.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Justin Jefferson should sue him lol

You mean Mike Gesicki

 

[Sypher04]

Keefe was playing not to lose

Gotta start Kampf in OT so he can lose the faceoff and do nothing at all. He should never see 3 on 3 OT

 

[Stephen]

Broons don't really look that good either.

 

[notbias]

Keefe is the DUMBEST coach I've ever seen. He is also not good for team morale IMHO

What is being in the room like?

 

[Enga Olly]

C'mon mods - there's clearly Leaf haters posting as fans. Shouldn't Leaf fans have some sort of refuge from everywhere else on the net? Clean up this trash.

 

[Shooter2x]

A drop in regular season play but hope we’re ready and in the playoffs. The east is a real battle.

Pretty sure Leafs are the best team in the league in come backs. You want to have that in your playoff bag of tricks

 

[123offtheglass]

Where tf was he seriously? Marchand had all the time in the world with him nowhere to be found.

Marchand was tied up at center too.

Who should have been the C? Tavares/Matthews arent available.

Who feels good? We lost. No one is satisfied with that. Doesn’t change that the Leafs played well tonight with half an NHL defense against one of the best teams in the league so far this season.

They found ways to win games they didn’t deserve and they let this one get away from there. This stuff will happen every single season.
