Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 5 -1

[TMLegend]

What exactly happened to Nylander?

Is he pulling a Freddie Andersen and just not feeling like playing?

He made the right call if that was the case. They were an embarrassment on the ice tonight, almost all of them.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Oh well, I'll look forward to OD on Monday. Somehow I find it comforting listening to them on Leaf talk

 

[GoonieFace]

Did we get goalied again? Just wondering

 

[TMLeafer]

It wasn't the Bruins top guys potting goals either. But at least they were noticeable. JT and Marner were garbage. Really came down to special teams and goaltending again, and they were terrible, again.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Also, Tavares is a problem on PP1. Dude loses every puck battle along the boards and really struggles getting to rebounds when he’s the net front guy.

 

[Stephen]

That was such a pathetic loss

Like… wow

And the refs were cheap. But they still could have overcome it.

.. just awful

Like everything we have seen in the regular season came to life

Refs were working that game like it was 2-2 and something was on the line.

Discuss

Disgust

Discus?

 

[Moonman]

Embarrassing, but let's be honest, not surprising.

Exactly what I expected

 

[htpwn]

They came out decently well, made a few bonehead plays that ended up in the back of their net, and then wilted. Add in pathetic special teams, missed scoring opportunities, plus some pro-Boston officiating, and that's your typical Leafs playoff game right there.

 

[leafsfan5]

I can only blame myself for having hope

 

[Antropovsky]

Pretty much as expected.

 

[weems]

Keefe might not be the best coach, Samsonov might not be a elite #1 and our defence isn't very strong but what does any of that matter if our high priced offensive stars cannot consistently produce offense when the stakes are the highest?

Those are the guys that are going to drive this team and too often they get shutdown when time and space gets reduced.

It's just one game, so still lots of time but our core players need to come thru scoring wise or we don't have much chance against the best teams.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

If we can give any of these guys raises to maintain our core, we have to do anything possible to preserve them. Cost of doing business. It's keefe's fault. The players need money or you can't expect them to be good in the season AND the playoffs

 

[Legendary]

Who could've seen this coming.....

 

[HamiltonNHL]

lost 8 straight to the Bruins now.

all those people who thought we'd be fine against the Bruins are ludicrous.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I know this loss stings boys and girls, but I would like you all to take solice in these next few words.

One of two things is about to happen. The Leafs either get their act together, kick ass, and get to the conference final or possibly a cup...

OR

We fail miserably like we did tonight, and this experiment is finally destroyed. Burned in the fires of history, and a new team, with real change is resurrected through the ashes.

One of these is going to come true, so take solice in that when you're feeling angry or frustrated.


And also, this gif is just so Leafs right now I'll leave it for you as well.

What if, like every other year, we fail miserably and then just keep doing the same thing?

 

[Gallagbi]

POS thread title, why do we let these posters make PGT?

The warts killed us. Reavo destroys our momentum early, Sammy can't make a save, PK gets eaten up.

 

[NVious]

Gutless trash from the core, they should all be publicly made to waive their NTC this offseason. Just purely pathetic.

Funny I said last offseason that everyone should be on the market and a few people said that's crazy.

 

[Steven1562]

The core 4 put up a big fat zero in the points column. 1 guy didn't even play. When Reaves has more points than Matthew's and Marner your in trouble.

 

[Stephen]

What exactly happened to Nylander?

Is he pulling a Freddie Andersen and just not feeling like playing?

Seems to have been the correct decision.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Marner should be gone when his contract runs out.

Absolutely useless playoff player.

 

[saffronleaf]

That was brutal. Samsonov 2nd and 3rd goals were awful. You can't let those go in.

Powerplay was bad, probably has something to do with having Jarnkrok on it? Like what??? You have Domi, Bertuzzi and Robertson on the bench in favor of Jarnkrok???? Not to mention he just came back from injury.

Missing arguably our best playoff performer in Nylander obviously didn't help either.

Need a way better performance in Game 2. I'm going with Woll if I'm Keefe and hopefully Nylander is back so he doesn't do some galaxy brain nonsense with the PP again.

this is nonsense. our best playoff performer is Marner, AINEC

It has the FEELING like a skipped practice (or something like that). Could be something going legit though.

 

[GoonieFace]

Shit coach. Team deserves better

Do they though?

The Laffs is perfectly applicable to this team, honestly it is an understatement with how atrocious they've been for nearly a decade now.
