Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 5-1

[notDatsyuk]

Did you see him skating back on the first Fantilli SH goal? He very well could be.

I thought none of McCabe, Matthews, or Hildeby played that goal well either.

We got 6 games left till 4 nations maybe give Morgan an early vacay let him spend some time with his family go somewhere hot. Matt Murray needs to be called up yesterday. Other than that boys played well can’t win em all, hope Knies is ok he’s a game changer. Go Leafs Go!

Played pretty well, should have been 5-1 the other way. Games like this happen, move on.

Already predicted the L so meh whatever.

Should have just put Murray in net instead of tearing down Hildeby's confidence lol. Sporadic starts don't help him or any goalie

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Only real complaints are Hildeby looking bad and annoyance at the powerplay for not converting, especially when we had 2 of them before Columbus got their first goal. Could’ve been a whole different game if special teams didn’t stink.

Oh and Knies getting hurt. Really hope it was just precautionary taking him out of the game.

I like Rielly. Come at me.

Goalied.

Also, hockey is a game of errors. They buried chances and we had weak and ill timed bad goals against. Killed momentum and tilted the game.

Good effort. Most were solid to good.

A couple guys need a full reset.

Nothing to see here.

Seems like more of an arm/wrist/shoulder issue than head?

Elbow hits first, but unless he fractured it he'd be back out if it was a contusion only. The wincing on bench I think shoulder. Hope its not seperated at all. The ac absorbs the elbow hit.

Don't want to make too much out of the Reaves fight, cuz it was generally inconsequential - but for homie to pick Olivier for his first fight of the year - was.. a choice! Hahaaa..

Moreso though, nobody has said it so I guess I will - the 4th line was kinda stellar all night long! They had as much sustained o-zone time as any line in the game tonite, and if any one of them had any finish whatsoever or were just facing a different goalie then we did tonite, they woulda cashed a couple. Kinda impressed, ngl.

Hildeby didn't have a very good game, but this isn't on him. We scored one goal, and it was midway through the third. We just couldn't finish tonight, and didn't defend well. Hildeby having a bad game sure didn't help.

I like Hildeby, and he's been great elsewhere, but he's just not NHL ready yet. Maybe Murray or AA next time, and give Hildeby more starts in the minors.
