Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose Game 1: 4-2

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Marner and Nylander need to be better.

Tkachuk got put on his ass multiple times but still had 3 points. Our guys need to do the same when they are played hard.

That's also because Tkachuk plays alot
Matthews needs to play and play a lot

I would even try Matthews with O'Reilly. He needs a true grinder in his wing

 

[Cleetus]

Nah, believe in the guys that got us here, Murray was MIA when we needed him, he's not our saviour.

I hope Sammy gets into a groove, I say he thinks he should of had 1 or 2 that got by him

 

[Smif]

Leafs need a brick Woll.

Not quite ready to try that, maybe if Samsonov sucks again in game 2, then all bets are off.

 

[Carltons Cup]

Willie is way too timid. He needs to grow a pair and get his head into the game because we need him.

 

[RoadWarrior]

That was weird

every driver at some point has turned the wrong way on a one way street…..

Bryan McCabe full on slapped the puck into his own net.

 

[Havoc]

This game was their Stanley Cup - Kucherov

You guys can sleep fine. Don't stress

 

[Kiwi]

Big unnecessary mistakes defensively
Unclutch goaltending
Not enough chaos on front of the Panthers net

The good news is we created plenty of opportunities to win that game, bad news is we butchered it

I'm not to down, I think we are more than capable of winning this series we just need to calm down and make Bobs life more difficult

We can be much much better than that

ah at this point he is what he is, he is not changing lol

 

[Smif]

Is that what he was doing?? Doesn't seem right...

 

[Beanzy]

There's a good chance we get goalie'd hard this series.

 

[Stephen]

Chin up lads. We got them right where we want them

We got out played and won games ourselves

We win the next 4 and get to finish them at home

Let's go.

Let's get the split in Toronto and regroup once the team is back in familar confines in Florida and can relax.

 

[fahad203]

I hope Sammy gets into a groove, I say he thinks he should of had 1 or 2 that got by him

Every game Sammy has given up at least one bad goal. Some of them are back breakers

Then he makes some good saves. By that time the momentum is all gone

It feels like every game we have given up a goal with 2 minutes go in a period

 

[horner]

We can play alot better.
Started to figure out there foecheck.
Knies is going to be a difference maker

If Bob returns to venzna Bob this could be tough

 

[3blizzard4]

Brodie is where pucks go to die.

 

[Mopar]

I thought Game 6 was the game that was going to get Samsonov into a groove. He was awful tonight.

 

[RoadWarrior]

He knows that panthers can’t kill penalties. The leafs PP will give him sleepless nights.

 

[3blizzard4]

LMAO he does this after blatant high stick with mere seconds left in the 3rd period.

 

[KPower]

Bob was better than Sammy

Their stars were better than ours.

Not gonna win many games when that happens.

 

[Superstar]

Loser

I don't think they are Tampa/Florida fans...probably jealous Sens or Habs fans.

 

[AvroArrow]

Is that Jimmy the sens fan ?

 

[Stephen]

There's a good chance we get goalie'd hard this series.

There are many playoff things a team can do to try and disrupt a hot goalie and the Leafs will have to use them all. Crease crash like they did late in the game, set up hard screens, and pull some Tampa savvy playoff things like yell at him and knock his stick out behind the whistle. Greasy, yeah. But so what?

 

[Atomos2]

McCabe is awful. Stupid decision-making
