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

[All Mod Cons]

Tavares shouldn’t see ice in OT

Agreed

 

[Strangle]

Well, it was a good effort.

Can't help but wonder how Marchand could find a way to get to the net after the collision with Nylander, but Nylander couldn't make it back to cover him.

This is exactly what I’m not trying to think about. But that’s why some people don’t think this team is serious about winning.

If you want to be a Stanley cup winner, you bust your ass to get back to the zone and defend your man.

Woll got stuck with a 2-0, made the first two saves and had no chance on the 3rd shot.

Nylander should have been there to take marchands stick away

 

[BTP]

best postgame out there

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Broons don't really look that good either.

No worries for them, we always manage to find ways to look worse.

 

[Cleetus]

You mean Mike Gesicki

man that was the worst Griddy ive ever witnessed lol

 

[Jojalu]

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 !!!

The Leafs were the better team almost all night. They 100% deserved a point.

Nylander was waiting for the line change but he should have checked where Marchand was

 

[BTP]

Knies - Matthews - Nylander

combined for 20 shots tonight

 

[TheTotalPackage]

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

It was quite evident Pastrnak tried banking it off him and into the net. Unfortunately it somehow ended up onto Marchand's stick with a completely open net, even after Pastrnak rifled it at Woll.

 

[Lightsol]

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.

I guess Nylander shouldn't have taken a knee shot and then a diving punch from Marchand...

 

[Clark4Ever]

I thought we were the better team overall, but our OT/SO luck was bound to change at some point.

Nylander screwed up in OT and deserves to be cut some slack considering he carried the team for several weeks, but he has been off since the trip to Sweden.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Marchand was tied up at center too.

Looks like he fell on his ass as usual

 

[HolyCrap]

Welp we got a point against a top team. We played well but we’re still a good tier below the Bruins and Other top teams as it stands.

 

[Strangle]

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

We didn’t lose, we tied.

The NHL gives a tie to one team and a win to the other.

Yes, I know it’s stupid. But …. NHL, man. What else can ya say?

 

[Gilmour1996]

All that matters is who won the game and who is leading the standings. Not who was the better team that lost or getting respect in the handshake line. Nylander crap defensively on 2 goals against. He's always been lazy defensively and always will be. Nice body check on your own player, Bert!

 

[TimeZone]

Broons don't really look that good either.

Because they aren't, they had an unsustainable hot start.

They're like us, albeit slightly better...mid.

 

[Notsince67]

We got the league where we want them. Over confident and not aware the Leafs are playing chess against checkers

 

[Kyle089]

Pathetic lack of hustle from Tavares and Nylander on the winner. I guess the backchecking chapter hasn't come up yet, in their "learning on what it takes to win".

 

[Lightsol]

Broons don't really look that good either.

Bruins seem to make up for their lack of actual talent past Pasta by some of the most blatant cheating I've ever seen short of the 70's Philly Flyers...

 

[A1LeafNation]

A real coach would not overplay JT in OT.

Face off and get off

11m to get off....terrible contract.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I thought we were the better team overall, but our OT/SO luck was bound to change at some point.

Best take I’ve seen!

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Who needs a serious team when we've got feathers

 

[mcleex]

Rat Marchand escapes again unscathed

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Nylander you dumbass why tf are you so casual there

Look at it again, he did the Kyle Wellwood move and fell backwards on purpose to avoid the hit from Marchand (giving the puck away in the process).

 

[saffronleaf]

Man he has his shot back, now get some more effort to go with it

yes just needs to regain every other aspect of his game, and shoot more, and try

 

[Sypher04]

We didn’t lose, we tied.

The NHL gives a tie to one team and a win to the other.

Yes, I know it’s stupid. But …. NHL, man. What else can ya say?

No, we lost. Hence why it’s labelled an OTL. Yes I know it’s gimmicks, and we tied “real hockey” but the result is the result much as we may dislike the ways they use to end games
