Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 5-2

[Aashir]

Detroit's the latest team to win their cup in Toronto this season. That puck is going to the very top of Larkin's mantle.

Our team is supposed to be good enough to win these games.

Key word supposed

Leafs have never done well playing teams worse than them. It’s on us fans for expecting better lol

 

[saffronleaf]

poor moleman

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Weekly sad effort game is out of the way, maybe we can beat Columbus now?

Hutchinson 40 game shutout incoming lol

 

[Metroid]

Keefe sucks
Tavares should have sat... My fantasy team today legit has all minus players , except Sammy (he wasn't supposed to play) lolol... 1.75 pts separate me and the guy. Winner goes to finals. He has kempe left and I have Lindholm... I know no one cares about other people's fantasy but leafs f-ed me big time with this shit game. I blame Keefe lol

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Hutchinson 40 game shutout incoming lol

Probably 50 and then we'll hear about the deservetowinometer and the corsi and whatever else Holl supporters use.

 

[Stephen]

Why did we acquire Lafferty again? It's not that I miss Engvall but man, speed and nothing else really doesn't do much for you.

 

[saffronleaf]

Laugh it off.

Furlatt was the ref tonight. We’ll remember him calling the pick on Holl in Game 7 last year, along with other BS non-calls like the two interferences along the boards that allowed Tampa to score their two goals, and the non-cal trip on Willy (I think) while we were on the PO that would’ve given us a 5 on 3.

No surprise he has an axe to grind and took it out on Bunting. Refs in this league blow. They’re thin-skinned, vindictive, and unprofessional.

They didn’t lose because of the Ref.
Seemed like they called a pretty even game

 

[PromisedLand]

Burn the tape.
How many tapes have they burnt now?

Leafs burning the tapes this season has been the leading cause of global warming and climate change

 

[All Mod Cons]

I xPected Holl to be shit per 60 tonight.

And he was.

I only watched the third but looked like a lot of perimeter play. Hit a couple of posts but if you're not driving to the inside and making a point to live there you won't really get the bounces.

How was Murray before he got hurt? Brutal or unlucky?

Detroit had 3 goals on their first 7 shots (that included the changeover to Samsonov), so not really busy enough to say.

Yeah he’s not very good

I'd even settle for Evgeni Malgin back in the lineup over Laugherty

They had some great chances in the second that they didn't capitalize on from the middle of the ice.

I didn't see the first 10 mins so I didn't get a look at the goals let in by Murray

 

[Suntouchable13]

Meaningless game , not worried at all .

I tend to agree BUT Tampa is starting to get hot lately, while Leafs are meh.

No, but Bunting’s unsportsmanlike penalty and the 10 minute misconduct were garbage calls.

he has been a total disappointment, guy looks like a scrub

Perhaps it was less about the player and more about cap hit?

It hasn't been a win on the ice for the Leafs.

 

[Havoc]

I see your Evgeni Malgin and raise you a Johnny Malkin over Laugherty even

Really not seeing what this guy brings to the table.

It’s amazing that they don’t often lose games where you can say they played well.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Doesn't matter until we start round 1, let's take these with a grain of salt.
However, may not be a bad idea to give JT a week off....just saying

I was expecting more from him, so far not very impressed, hopefully he has an extra gear come playoffs.

Kyle cannot helps himself when offered a BOGOF deal.

 

[ACC1224]

No, but Bunting’s unsportsmanlike penalty and the 10 minute misconduct were garbage calls.

Looked legit to me.
He took a pretty good flop and when you have a reputation as a diver it’s a pretty easy call.
I imagine the misconduct was because he wouldn’t shut up about it.
