Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose in Boston. This is a recording.

[Larcos_Unal]

Why do people think this? Seriously...

Who is he fighting?

In the last 3 years he averages 4 fights a year... he is already half way there and we are 1/8th through the season.

This, why would anyone want to fight him? If you don't fight him he's a waste of roster space

He is here to make the other team pay a price for taking cheap shots at our players.

We had that happen tonight and Keefe didn’t immediately line reaves up with Marchand.

If not fighting, then be an intimidator. Hit something. Stir some sh*t up!

Samsonov is f***ing terrible. This team is going nowhere with the trash goaltending they have.

 

[Brown Dog]

Not enjoying Domi at all.

 

[wingman75]

No championship caliber team would act like this team does

That is the culture Dubas built. Get'em back on the PP, remember?

Shanahan and Keefe were compliant in that as well... can they change?

Tre has himself a wheelbarrow full of cottonelle-level softies.

Tonight was a night to have a real purpose fight, not one of those predetermined fights against the other teams tough guy.
He should have pounded Marchand into the ice or even pasta

You don’t have to ask to fight someone. That’s the kind of made up fighting no one likes.

The “f*** you for what you did” fighting, everyone likes.

The “don’t write cheques your ass can’t cash” fights.

That’s what we wanted to see tonight. And I bet dollars to donuts it’s not reaves refusing to go out and do his job, it’s Keefe making sure he can’t.

He's too slow to hit people... I have seriously not seen a single hit where it wasn't late from him minus the Minny game.

He is here to make the other team pay a price for taking cheap shots at our players.

We had that happen tonight and Keefe didn’t immediately line reaves up with Marchand.

Can you show me a single instance where Reaves ever lined up with a star player after a dirty play?

Reaves is a goon but doesn't just randomly go after stars.

 

[Amadeus]

Still disappointed in a lack of response to that POS Marchand. This team is soft.

 

[Buds17]

Two points > One point > No points

He will never do that. Shouldn't have signed him if that is what you expect. No goons do that... the last time I've seen an enforcer try to fight a random person was the Vancouver game with Martin and Dorsett (forget who it was on Vancouver)

A shit leopard can’t change its spots.

100%

I thought it was Dubas shackling Keefe, bu t obviously it wasn’t, or it was both of them, or it’s all three of them.

Not a goddamn facewash to Marchand. One hit into the boards from Klingberg, who is brand new and is probably going to get a stern talking to from Keefe after the game to cut it out

 

[All Mod Cons]

if Reaves ain't gonna drop the gloves, lay a bit hit then wtf is he dressing for? send him to the AHL

He has to be being told this. HAS to. He knows why he is here. He knows what he can and cannot do.

He loves fighting. He plays the role and embraces it with his shenanigans. He fought twice in the 1st two games (which we won) and then poooof. No more fighting.

 

[BallardEra]

Reaves serves what purpose if he’s not going to stand up to Marchand?

1. Dressing room DJ
2. Halloween scare guy
3. Team comedian
4. Team "loosen up" guy
5. Carlton the Bear fill in

 

[Mad hatter]

This team has to stop allowing opponents to take liberties and do nothing about. I want them to win always but they need to stand up for each other sometimes more. Prove that they can and fight back and not worry about the win once at least.

 

[MoreMogilny]

We were playing a man short after the 1st. They had the upper hand tonight. not us.

And we're not an absolute mess in the regular season. you're being emotional after a shootout loss in a game we were down 2-0 with a man short

There’s always an excuse with this team. Always has to be or else we couldn’t cope as fans.

Bruins had a record breaking regular season, and after 9 games have only failed to get one single point. AFTER losing their heart and soul captain as well as another one of their best players in recent memory in Krejci. Oh and Hall, Bertuzzi, etc as well. That’s a team that’s making a statement after a disappointing post season

Here we are watching our same group struggle yet again to look like they have any identity.

It’s brutal. It’s unacceptable. Acting like it’s okay is because that’s how low the bar is for us fans of this franchise. We always have to write off their failures because otherwise it’s too hard to watch.

 

[Al14]

Start Woll next game.

Samsonov makes easy saves look difficult.

And, he makes the goal look like an empty net in the shootout !!!!

 

[Lightsol]

Another tight game where your 10 million dollar guys cannot find a goal.

That's an awfully weird take considering the only goals came from the $10 million men...

 

[Aloysius]

Nah, they played hard about 5 minutes into the second and then right to the end.

Agree with the lack of team spirit (re. Timmy). That is the MOST concerning thing to me.

The new guys have not fit in at all so far, other then Gregor. Bert, Domi and Reaver are deadweight. At least Klinger makes a play here or there... not good in our zone though.

I mean, who didn't know we were losing that shootout? Lame.

The new guys have fit in perfectly with the squad. Whatever their style of play before, they have adapted to the existing style of the team. They have blended in well.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Woll has to be in net next game.
Bertuzzi needs to be dumped at TDL. Robertson can bring what he brings at a fraction of the price.
Need some actual Dmen.

 

[Strangle]

He will never do that. Shouldn't have signed him if that is what you expect. No goons do that... the last time I've seen an enforcer try to fight a random person was the Vancouver game with Martin and Dorsett (forget who it was on Vancouver)

It’s not ‘random’. Marchand took Lilly out, maybe long term. Might have broken his leg or ankle.

You make someone pay for that. Every team does. This team won’t even facewash the guy, no scrum after the play, no putting reaves out the next shift.

f***ing nothing.

If Marner went out and two handed pasta behind the knees, you think the bruins are going to just shrug their shoulders and skate to the bench?

 

[wingman75]

I thought it was Dubas shackling Keefe, but obviously it wasn’t, or it was both of them, or it’s all three of them.

I think Keefe was part of creating the culture, but I do not believe he is actively discouraging any kind of response... nor is he encouraging it... nor should he have to.

If your effin teammates will not get out there and kick up a bit of a stink, you're done as a team when the tough times come.

 

[Strangle]

Keefe is pretty good at getting the players to play this way.

He’s got to go
