Difference tonight was goaltending and special teams.

Goaltending - just ride Woll until Stolarz is back. Murray is just not an NHL goaltender anymore.

Special teams need a lot of work between now and the post season. Very worrying as they've been a problem for years.

We need Stolarz back so badly. Murray is absolutely done.

 

[shaner8989]

Murray is trash

Send him away

 

[Leafs98]

So they win 6-3 lose 6-3, win 5-2 lose 5-2. Sounds like a mediocre team.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

We need a point shot

Chychrun would be a good add on D in the off-season. Provides the offense we thought Rielly was to provide. I'd even move on from OEL to make it happen

 

[GoonieFace]

Can’t rely on top notch goaltending every night. Sometimes you just lose, it happens.

No, you don't ride Woll. You maintain his 50% share of starts and use gently, keep him fresh and healthy and rotate in all of Murray, Hildeby and Akhtyamov in an 16%, 16% and 16% split until Stolarz is back... because you don't want Woll to go down and then you have to use Murray and Hildeby for weeks and weeks. Then you are well and truly f'ed.

Murray should just walk over the Cola Colisieum and save the team the Uber Fare
He's been done for a while now

Murray isn't an NHL goaltender and Thompson is elite. Story of the game.

 

[NinjaKick]

I thought we played ok. goaltending was the difference for both teams.


mad props to Thompson though

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Garbage PP, PK fails when it’s needed most. Special teams suck ass.

 

[thewave]

Send Rielly to the moon.

This team is so predictable. Easy betting lines .

No guarantee Woll just gives up 1 goal. The offence needs to score. When JT, Marner, and Willy don't score we don't score. Too many blackholes. Tre needs to fix that.

 

[Evilhomer]

Asstastic is what that was.

 

[Stephen]

Send Rielly to the moon.

The moon would ask for salary retention.

 

[MSZ]

Not a single Saturday night win in December is brutal.

The upcoming home and home meeting vs NYI doesn't look promising either with weak special teams, suspect defensive plays and bad goaltending.

 

[arso40]

Came in and messed it all up burn the house down full rebuild

Game of inches and whatnot, I thought Willie had enough looks to have put on a star showing but things just didn't land. It's basically a 3-2 loss with AHL goaltending mixed in to make it worse.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Asstastic is what that was.

But I really enjoyed the convincing win with Nylander scoring in OT.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Felt like the exact type of game we lose in the playoffs. Shittier goaltending, pathetic special teams, chances but no finish.

Murray shouldn't start another game unless Hildeby somehow plays worse than he did tonight.
