Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 7-4 to the Avs - Contenders vs Pretenders

[leafsfan5]

OEL - McCabe: 61.32 xGF%
Rielly - Carlo: 47.73 xGF%
Benoit - Myers: 6.05 xGF%

This third pair was disgusting and I'd get rid of both players. Bring up Rifai

 

[NVious]

Severely outclassed in this one. Cant hang with real contending teams

The team is 5-8 vs other top 4 teams in the east/west conference. Some real horrendous beatings in their too, not like they're losing ot/shootout games, talking 5-1, 5-2, horrendous drubbings.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Not sure if even Carlo can save Rielly at this point...

 

[Skullz]

Terrible game that was magnified by an utterly abysmal third period.

That 3rd line was a nightmare. Domi was lost, and Laughton was brutal. Looks very vanilla: really hope he is better than this.

Rielly completely brain dead at the end to cost us, but we sucked all night.

I liked Carlo. But man this is a tough loss. Colorado is just in a different class. Not sure if we’re that good.

 

[ToMaLe]

3rd line was totally invisible. We finally had a good 3rd line, I knew management would screw it up. I always dread trade deadline, same crap every year. No cup in 55 years, and makes the same stupid mistakes every year.

 

[AcerComputer]

Laughton making $3m a year makes sense now. Kampf 2.0.

 

[Confucius]

I don't know how anyone can watch these last two games and think this team will do sweet f*** all in the playoffs. Traded away two firsts and Minten for this LOL

Dysfunctional people running things, they just don’t learn

 

[wingman75]

This.

Probably the most embarrassing reactions I've ever seen after a loss. A lot of people bet their lives on this one apparently.

You thought they played well?

This is a thread to discuss this game... I mean, what was good about this game other than Marner?

 

[leafsfan5]

the worst part about Phillip Myers is that he doesn't know he's ass

Like why is he demanding the puck when Nylander has it. What are you going to do with the puck dawg, get out of the way

 

[Smif]

Cry more

You don't see the OP? That was the epitome of crying, my gosh man, bunch of babies in here after a loss.

 

[All Mod Cons]

The fact that Shanahan is STILL here makes me think it’s absolutely possible he’ll be around. He’s result-proof.

Absolutely. If the true big wigs like him, he'll stay. I don't think winning is the be all and end all here, so I'm pretty sure they're loving the job he's doing.

 

[wingman75]

Tough time to take a penalty.

Does anyone else think legitimately, if they were hired as the GM in 2018, the Leafs would've won more playoff rounds?

Because I do.

I do too, without a doubt. The team would be on a completly different trajectory.

 

[Stephen]

Laughton making $3m a year makes sense now. Kampf 2.0.

Laughton was such a hyped up nothing asset at the deadline.

Where did I say I thought they played well? I'm commenting on the reaction of grown men in here, it's seriously sad tbh.

This was one of the worst weeks in the last 20 years, after this team has gotten humiliated for nearly a decade in the playoffs. Pretty normal for fans to be upset.

 

[GQS]

Should've NOT traded for Laughton and kept Minten. I hope he's more useful than what he showed tonight. Carlo looked better as the game went along. Stolarz looked human and couldn't hold the fort tonight. This team is going to go as far in the playoffs as he and Woll can take them plain and simple.

I think more concerning is the blown leads now in 2 our of 3. Not that they deserved to even be in this game, but they had it... had to get out of the second up by 2 imo. As soon as that 3rd Avs goal went in, they got hungry!

 

[BTP]

Predicted they get blown out and I was right.

Team is slow as f***

They would get swept by that team. Lmao

Just slow as f***

Blah blah. Defense blah blah. Should have gotten cozens and middle stat

f***ing speed is what we need

 

[Suntouchable13]

You don't see the OP? That was the epitome of crying, my gosh man, bunch of babies in here after a loss.

Yea, but we've seen this for so many years. So it's not just one loss. Why do you think it will be different this year?

 

[Stephen]

The best description of Phil Myers I've ever heard was "irrational confidence". Like you're just going to go for it... no you're not.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

‘Twas a bad day I prayed wouldn’t happen.

Of course when the present is shining so brightly who the hell cares about the future. This is just sooo amazing.

 

[Leafsfan74]

90% of the game of consequence or measuring stick this team loses. As a matter of reality, Marner scores twice, looks good and then tried to go through the middle of the ice, late in the 3rd on the road in a tied game.

You guys wonder why we are so critical?

We will all follow and hope they get it done, but we all know what the expectation is with this group.

Truth hurts

 

[fahad203]

Laughton was such a hyped up nothing asset at the deadline.

Nik Foligno comes to mind

My god... that is absolutely AWFUL LOL. Myers in particular was just insanely bad.

Rielly and Carlo started to become really solid.
