Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-3

[The Blueprint]

Sens goalie got his first NHL win says it all. Still a bipolar group that can go on incredibly good or bad stretches of games. Still no killer instinct and lacking execution all night... Hope the break helps

 

[Mr Hockey]

exciting finish for sure

 

[Mats13]

Can we talk about Marners lazy unengaged play yet?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Thornton at practice.

 

[Smif]

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

 

[Beanzy]

Tavares was terrible in the final 2 minutes. What the hell was that about? Killed the momentum big time.

 

[Menzinger]

Final score really makes that refs call on the Soup goal sting even more

 

[LeafGrief]

There is still a good team hiding under this rough patch. Our goaltending has completely sunk us and the players are flat. That strong defense that we saw for weeks didn't go anywhere, they're still there, we just need some freaking saves and to get some confidence going.

Dubas has to be getting an itchy trigger finger.

 

[BTP]

Garbage.
f***ing team turns it on with 6 mins left. Bullshit ass non goal also

Make a trade. Get andersen the f*** outta here

 

[gyzmo]

Somehow this will all be Nylanders fault

 

[socko]

The only positive. That guy in net for the last 6 minutes was solid.

 

[PromisedLand]

4o million dollar offense cannot get it done.

Right on Cue to "blame goalie"

this team aint gonna get anything done in the playoffs either. big money players cannot score when it matters most

PK is a freakin JOKE

keep missing defensive assignments and blame goalies

 

[klmdg]

Morgan is going to be a horrific hockey player when his physical gifts decline

 

[wingman75]

Worst week of Leafs hockey I can remember watching capped off with everything we would expect. Complete ineptness. Truly pathetic.

I'm not sure where the rest of this season goes. We've been playing with next to no defensive structure lately, soft and slow all over the ice and our goaltending had been nothing short of disgusting.

Hope they enjoy the break.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Hello darkness my old friend...

 

[Stephen]

Tavares was terrible in the final 2 minutes. What the hell was that about? Killed the momentum big time.

The man looked like he was playing ball hockey when he tried the lone ranger play to get the Leafs into the zone.

 

[The Examiner]

I guess we’re all Habs fans this week.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Good for the Sens, this was their Stanley cup

 

[Carltons Cup]

Goaltending cost us again after 2 quick ones.

Let's see if Dubie keeps ignoring this.

 

[Smif]

Ok GM. Ball's in your court.

Disagree. I feel like the team needs to show the GM more than this before he goes all in and mortgages the future.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Liked Nylander's game. Can't say the same about most of the others

 

[The Legend]

Brutal loss, but nothing gives me more hope than what Keefe was up to at the end of the game.

- Pulls the goalie with 6 minutes left down 3.
- Plays 4 F, 1 D off the faceoff to prep for another pull
- Puts Andersen back in MID SHIFT when the Kerfoot line was out there
- Pulls him when the big boys are rested

Galaxy brain stuff.

This team will be fine. But Rielly and Marner hitting the net ONE TIME would help.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Bad start put them in a quick hole

I've noticed less of a physical approach by our D. Maybe they want to stay healthy due to lack of depth.

Simmons is supposed to be back by the weekend. Hopefully the spark this team needs. Dubai has his most important deadline and little room for creativity.

 

[Leafsforever89]

Rielly can't shoot worth crap. Why does he even bother. He has such a low hockey IQ, He always shoots when he should pass.

 

[The Legend]

Well, the Leafs we've known for two decades are back. Is anyone surprised?

They made it interesting but ultimately a disappointing ending. Tavares screwing up multiple plays in the last 2 minutes. Rielly multiple muffin missed shots when we had tons of guys in front looking for a rebound.

Keefe needs to get off his high horse and make adjustments. Everyone else needs to stop being so cute and simplify - stop trying to pick corners when it's not needed.

Hopefully the rest helps the team reset.

Two decades? Six decades...
