Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 5-2

[TMLAM34]

Holmberg at 2C. Murray in goal. No hope.

That’s all you really have to say…

 

[Racer88]

We need a point shot

And a PP and goalie and depth………….and a new president of hockey opps

 

[Racer88]

Their goaltending was good. Ours was not. Game over.

Rinse and repeat

 

[Evilhomer]

I don't know about that but they mentioned they are last again in points from the backend

I would be shocked if any team was lower. The Leafs produce near-zero offense from the blueline. It's an issue that has never really been corrected.

 

[1specter]

Weak ass overrated ass team

 

[blue stick]

Murray was a turd in the punch bowl

 

[Torontonian]

Haven’t liked how the team has looked the past month or so. I understand why Murray is playing, but he ain’t it, and Hildeabeast needs to play more then one game every 3 weeks.

The team has looked very mediocre this month of December.

 

[keonsbitterness]

As we have seen the past two years, it is difficult to win 2-1 in the playoffs night after night.

We're actually 4-2 in 2-1 games the ĺast three playoffs.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Played well at times, at other times were careless with the puck. But holy smokes is Murray absolute shit. We had chances to win this game, couldn't score, their goalie played really well, and that's the game. Rielly is so bad, another -2. Knies has done nothing to deserve PP time for the past month. If Dewar isn't going to contribute any offence, he better make sure of his clears from his own zone. Fourth line a black hole tonight.

 

[TakeTheBody]

Icksnay with the accent on ICK and the Matt Murray plan. I'll take Bill Murray, Jan Murray, hell bring on Anne Murray.
Woll needs to man up, stay healthy and play most of these games.

 

[PromisedLand]

 

[Nineteen67]

With a nooner on NY Eve they have a decent chance at winning 9 games in December. How many thought was likely with 4 B2B?

He’s a sophomore, he’s going to slump.

 

[Jojalu]

We're actually 4-2 in 2-1 games the ĺast three playoffs.

Right.

With 1 series win. We have scored 2 or less way too often to win a cup. While scoring goes down in the playoffs, it's actually pretty miniscule compared to the regular season.

They are not going to win a series by hoping the outcome will be 2-1 every night

 

[ACC1224]

Different outcome with Stolarz.

 

[1specter]

He's not the same after getting his bell rung

 

[centipede2233]

Could have had hagel for knies but shanny needed to sabatoge

 

[Mr_Fun]

His sub-mediocre play coincides with the Leafs poor play the last few weeks. He’s not getting great looks; some of it is on him, some of it is from having less than desirable linemates. I don’t doubt he gets rolling again, but until he does and with AM and Stolarz out, this team has more suck than good in them.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Different outcome with Stolarz.

Probably true. I know we didn’t score enough as well, but the timing of those goals just deflate a team. Not to mention it’s unlikely that 4 of those shots leak through Stolarz; maybe two.

 

[TMLAM34]

Approaching the midway point in the regular season, we had a stretch of 10 games where we looked really good. The rest of the games, we’ve been pretty meh. The crazy thing is we’re still first in the Atlantic.

 

[Jojalu]

He's not the same after getting his bell rung

He was playing with Matthews and Marner. A lot of guys will have inflated numbers with his skill set.

Knies os going to be good. He will never be a drove the line type of player but with the roght guys around him he is 30 goal/70 point with an edge

 

[34]

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

Murray is not even an AHL goalie at this point.

This team is in big trouble. They are going to miss the playoffs.

 

[ACC1224]

The 4-2 goal was a killer.
Missed the first period having second Christmas at the In Laws. Only caught the 2nd and 3rd.

Have you seen that “race” for WC2 in the East? Leafs could sleepwalk their way to it.

 

[wingman75]

I don't know about the previous 12 games, but he was not good tonight as far as executing went. He was in good position on a good few plays, but was never able to produce the play that was needed.

The 4-2 goal was a killer.
Missed the first period having second Christmas at the In Laws. Only caught the 2nd and 3rd.

The first 2 goals against were stoppable, in fact should have been stopped. Weak.

Outside of the poor goaltending, PP and PK we were good lol

 

[BraveCanadian]

Holmberg at 2C. Murray in goal. No hope.

Why Minten isn’t getting a trial in that spot with Matthews out I’ll never understand.

Would give the wingers on that line someone with some offensive ability to play with too
