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

[stickty111]

Don't know why Keefe went away from starting Liljegren, Kampf and whoever in OT when that worked decently for a while?

Kampf has been awful this year. Keefe rightfully made that change. I agree on Lilly

 

[trellaine201]

Bertuzzi has 2 goals in his last 22 games, lmao. 5.5M for his production is laughable.

Be glad its not long term.

 

[thewave]

How many overtime goals have been scored against the Leafs in their OT losses when Marner and Matthews were on the ice?

Like all of them?

 

[3blizzard4]

Seven years of rebuild and we got the offence down pact. Another seven and the defence will be ready. Then another seven and maybe the goalie will be down pact too.

 

[stickty111]

Didn’t they just score last OT? It makes no sense putting McCabe there. Maybe Keefe was trusting him defensively but why not just go with your big guys or a guy like lil. Keefe with another brainless ot decision.

I agree with Lilly, but Matthews Marner are always awful together in OT. One win last time doesn't change that.

 

[ER89]

did anyone see nylander JT or bert do jack f***ing shit? Or marner?

Keefe is a moron for putting in mccabe hes got the lowest IQ of our entire d corps.

Also for the love of god put in lagesson for Gio dude is old as f*** and makes way to many shit plays and reads and he cost us this game.

We definitely deserved that loss.
Very disorganized, bad penalties, turning pucks over, just a very lazy performance.
McCabe makes two crucial mistakes.

I guess getting a single point is somewhat a small win when you play that badly but you need to win that game when you're up 3 to 1.

Yeah, the leafs look like f***ing shit tonight. That is the worst game I have seen them play in a long time. Goaltending was terrible.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

You’re probably right, but he’s earned the benefit of the doubt for me at least. Still a better game than many Sammy has given them

"Still a better game than many Sammy has given them..

That's true but that's not the point you think it is, I don't think you realize how low that bar is.

 

[Buds17]

This is Sheldon Keefe in a nutshell

Here's to hoping they can both figure it out soon!

 

[Superstar]

Check out all those other teams winning in OT...did they put McCabe on in OT too?

 

[Confucius]

[Evilhomer]

Jones blew it tonight, simple as that.

The ass kissers and excuse makers and excuse makers will disagree but all you have to do to prove me right is look at the first 2 goals.

Neither one can go in.

They both did.

Dude, the guy is a third string goalie at this point for a reason. No one seriously believes that he is going to start for this team in the playoffs. For better or worse, the number one goalie is a guy who has played less than 50 NHL games.

 

[ULF_55]

They gave it away in the 2nd. period.

A very dumb performance.

Mental mistakes cost the game.

Couldn't outscore their stupidity.

Their D is too slow.

Yeah but he tries super hard and “does all the little things” or whatever, this will convert to playoff goals for sure.

He was bound to have a shitty game. Played unreal for 4 games straight. I’m okay with this loss because it’s unsustainable to play the right way every night. I do want to see them eliminate the bad habits

 

[weems]

An entertaining game.
I'd like to know the % of face offs we win to begin overtime. It can't be good.
McCabe's pass that led to the icing that led to the OT goal..what were you thinking?
Two for AM, cool.
Sees use folks next time.

I just did a quick look and I think it's 6 faceoffs won and 10 faceoffs lost when starting overtimes.

 

[ACC1224]

Matthews was the best player on the ice tonight by a mile.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Boys look tired from the west coast trip/bunch of guys sick. Still hate losing to the fing Isles.

 

[egd27]

of course Panthers win in O.T lol

they are the more well rounded, aggressive team

The #1 goalie is the guy that's playing every night.

For better or worse that is Jones right now and tonight he blew it.

And make no mistake HE blew it nobody else.

This game is on HIM

 

[wingman75]

Went better than I expected. Had this marked as a regulation loss, so good on them to get a point.

Didn't think Jones was as good as he has been. Nor were a few other players.

I don't judge anything that happens in OT, because it is a nonsensical 5 minutes that has nothing to do with regular hockey. Rielly not being out was mysterious though.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Tavares is on pace for 17 even strength goals this season. That is simply unacceptable for your 11mil 2nd line centre.

Tied with rookie Knies and behind the juggernaut Calle Jarnkrok.

 

[Martin Skoula]

they are the more well rounded, aggressive team

How’d we do against LA again?

 

[Nineteen67]

Not catching Boston or Florida. Be lucky to hold off Tampa and Detroit with our brutal schedule coming up.

If they can get 8 more this month they would be set up nice to earn a playoff spot.
