Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 5-4 in OT

[glue]

Disappointing, but big picture we took 3out of 4 points from the Avs, I’ll take it

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Great game Campbell. Good first period team. After that I’m not so sure.

Whatever onto the next one.

 

[Crosscrease14]

Pretty bad effort by Matthews in OT

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Sucks, but if you're gonna blow a 4-1 lead yet get a point, this is the game you'd be somewhat ok with that happening.

Take the point, on to the next game.

It was a very exciting game. The Brodie penalty though, embellishment? Da Fuq?

 

[TMLeafer]

Got jobbed by the refs. Colorado has like 25 more pps than the Leafs so far this season in fewer games. Makes you wonder.

Leafs too passive in the 3rd which can't happen against good teams.

 

[Cynical]

The only reason the Leafs lost this game was due to ref game management. This is what happens when the game isn't just called as it should be. Teams that deserve to win lose games.

 

[Stonehands 1]

It took a very hard effort to beat the leafs, especially the refs

 

[francis246]

Just gonna say I hope people don’t lose their shit over this game that really doesn’t mean anything.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

9 losses this season and every single one of them we blame the refs. Go look at the PGTs if you don’t believe me

 

[DopeyFish]

Matthews was caught out too long in OT and then got badly burned leading to the 2v1 down low. He played a great game early but the final goal is all on him there.

edit: ok i see now

yeah matthews wtf

 

[leafsfan5]

The leafs were 100% outplayed but the refs should be compensated by Colorado for the comeback

The avs started off the 3rd on fire but the leafs held the fort and had multiple cycle shifts down low. One was a Matthews shift for 1.5 minutes where he was tripped in front of the ref and it wasn't called. Ritchie was also tripped moments before with a non-call

Then the first penalty the leafs commit the refs call.

Then Brodie goes off for off-setting minors when it's a clear penalty on Kadri

f*** off

Nah. JT inexplicably went to the point from the slot leading to that wide open lane.

 

[BertCorbeau]

4-1 PP advantage for the Av's hurt .. they seemed to get away with a couple and those PP's helped keep their momentum.

This was a measuring stick game, hope it humbles them and gets them to work hard.

Too bad because Campbell had his best save of the year tonight .. That OT winner he would have liked back.

 

[mikeyz]

Let’s be honest here guys, we were lucky to get even 1 point. We were badly outplayed for at least 50 of the 62+ minutes of this game.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

How can they find their killer instinct if the reffing is completely one sided? Glad we got the point but we deserved two. Keefe had to say something about the reffing, this happens too often to one of the elite teams in the league.

 

[frog]

Never should have traded kadri for brodie.. Kadri too good

 

[Leafsfan74]

Had them dead to rights and then they found some momentum. Campbell earned a point on the road, while shorthanded.

Avs are impressive with the puck, I'm not as high on their chances as I used to be though. Leafs just ran out of gas in the Mile High air.

Scripted some might say

 

[GardinerTheForward]

we suck again

 

[ryno23]

matthews on too long in OT cost them. Had to switch off earlier. No gas to stay with Towes.

 

[6ix]

Tavares is an embarrassment. Muzzin and Holl a disaster. Lucky to grab a point tonight.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Got caved in. Lucky to get a point.

 

[The Management]

Chase their goalie in the first, three goal lead... can't get a better start than that. Yeah, you could see it coming in the second period. Took our foot off their throat and stopped skating.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Leafs were dominated by a much, much, MUCH superior team in every facet. This is the difference between a first round failure and a Stanley Cup contender, Avs are a contender, the Leafs are not.

Pure embarrassment from top to bottom. Pathetic effort. Outshot over 20 to 5 in the third, gave up over 50 shots. Avs are superior to Toronto.

No they aren’t, almost a quarter of those shots came on the power play. Colorado isn’t better.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Also ffs get Clifford off this team.
