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

[Kazparov]

That was horseshit. Had the lead and shit the bed.
Can't dipsy doodle backhand no look pass on the f'ing blue line and cough up a penalty

 

[shaner8989]

More garbage goaltending
More garbage team play

First round exit will be sick

 

[Stephen]

Maybe give him more than 24 hours, one game and zero practices. My gosh, so over the top.

Laughton isn’t a high impact add and cost too much.. We don’t need a practice to know Brock Nelson is good on Colorado.

 

[Smif]

What do you expect? Team hasn't won in 60 years, team did nothing in mid 00s and mid 10s, team finally gets talent and they fail massively.

You don't see that as an emotional reaction? After a win do you still cry about not winning in 60 years?

 

[Suntouchable13]

I'd give Laughton more time. But certainly wasn't someone I was really clamouring for, that's for sure.

 

[Skullz]

Might be the end of the road for Rielly at this point. Needs to be gone in the summer. Enough is enough.

 

[Metroid]

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

What blown out?
It was 2 empty net goals lol. Leafs score two Empty net goals to win and it's a "close win"
Relax.

We had the lead but Colorado was dominating us, was only a matter of time before the flood gates opened

Blowout? They scored 2 empty net goals.

 

[Stephen]

I haven't said anything about him, but tonight was my breaking point. that play with the goalie out was full on embarassing for a professional hockey player.

I'd rather they do something than nothing. It didn't cost much, and I do think he will settle in a be a benefit to the team. Cannot evaluate him tonight.. he only arrived today, so it would have been weird as f*** for him. Nothing we gave up has any value for this "window" we are in.

Management just needs to go to Rielly that while your lifestyle in Toronto has been nice, it is now over and you gotta go.

Remember. This guy is the same one who said after the Vegas game they needed to clean up details. Veteran leader, highest paid defenseman. You think this guy cares about defensive details?

 

[CelticDruid]

I would like to see Reilly stuck in the press box just for one game to see how we play without him.

 

[Future]

So many lunatics. Laughton was bad. Doesn’t mean he’s an awful player.

Why can’t people just say “He played awful” instead of saying that he’s a horrible player?

Hasn’t even practiced with the team…

 

[Commander Clueless]

I can't help but feel like this team is getting cold at the worst time.

 

[Mr_Fun]

I hope there's more to Laughton than what we witnessed tonight. I suspect he's a guy Berube really wanted. Just a horrible first impression.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Blowout? They scored 2 empty net goals.

Still, you wanna see a better performance against these Western contenders. We just got blasted. We couldn't stop them. And Vegas made Woll look like a AHL goalie.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

David Clarkson vibes is what I got.

I can't believe this guy cost a first and a decent prospect. It is almost like this organization wants to fail. Absolutely useless. He was embarrassing on that Mackinnon goal.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

This lb for lb might be the worst week of Hockey we've seen from a Leaf team post lockout. At least the bad/tanking teams had reason to be as bad as they were, these guys are supposed to be in their prime and they STINK.

Play an atrocious game vs the Pens barely win.
Blow a 2 goal lead in the third vs the worst team in the league.
Get absolutely pumped by the Knights.
Have a 2 goal lead going into the 3rd and blow it again vs the Avs.

At this point nobody should have any expectations of this team, the core itself is so utterly rotten. One last swing for them, but they deserve their failures. Just putrid stuff from top to bottom.

Well to be fair it's getting close to golf season and they're getting distracted.

FORE!

 

[thewave]

Well, to be honest, that bar isn't very high....

Rielly Domi Marner (demand and cap) are wrecking this team on and off the ice. Don't tell me everyone in that room isn't thinking... Screw you, you entitled punk with these games and demands on Marner. On Domi they are thinking what the hell, you're riding daddy's name. Rielly is just a great big, what the F happened after you got married guy.

 

[NVious]

You don't see that as an emotional reaction? After a win do you still cry about not winning in 60 years?

And you're crying that somebody else is crying? You don't like people expressing themselves, don't go on forums.

 

[Stephen]

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.

That east to west stop up at the blueline was the same play he got burned on in Game 7 vs Montreal I believe. If Marner had a basketball shoe that would be his signature.

 

[leafsfan5]

So many lunatics. Laughton was bad. Doesn’t mean he’s an awful player.

Why can’t people just say “He played awful” instead of saying that he’s a horrible player?

Hasn’t even practiced with the team…

Judging the new players games when they weren't even on the team at 12 pm yesterday is crazy

 

[Evilhomer]

If anyone previously doubted how important Tanev is to this team....yeah.

 

[Smif]

We are following the script.. if we don't get top end goaltending. We don't win. caved on shot attempts tonight.

SV% wasn't great tbh if I'm not mistaken.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

They need to strongly consider moving Rielly in the off-season. Heck, what does a buyout look like…

 

[Amadeus]

Seems like a team fighting to find their identity.
