Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose in OT Again to Devils.

[CelticDruid]

I’m old and golden and my Ba……lls are swollen

Snd I’m really sad

Your balls are swollen because you keep on tripping over those puppies. Lol

 

[Racer88]

It’s tough to listen to the hockey panel talk about how great the Devils “young guns” are playing…………..
Remember when our “stars” were young and we were full of hope.
Bow they are middle age wealthy and looking like for the 7th year in a row they can’t get the job done,
Simply pathetic

 

[egd27]

Oh no, the Sabres on Saturday

 

[Jmo89]

Is it just me or do they always looks so impatient in OT? Other teams will skate around and wait for something to open up. Leafs seem to always be passing it into danger or forcing a rush. Such a brutal unforced pass by JT.

Lmao

 

[Antropovsky]

Tavares pass was bad...but Marner again doesn't even defend anyone after the turnover. He just coasts with the devil goal scorer beside him and then a lazy reach on the falling devil...and leaves the goal scorer completely alone.

Incredible that Marner can give the puck away all night... And Keefe has him playing 20+ minutes, penalty kill and starting in OT.

 

[Aashir]

Because 34/16/44 doesn't work.

So why not 34/88/44

 

[Wendelstache]

Was an evenly played game, thought the Devils defense is better than ours.

Hirshcher kid impressed.

 

[Drytoast]

Take the point everytime when trailing after 2 especially in last 3 mins.
We are bad in OT
Murray was good again

I came to say this so bump.

 

[Nineteen67]

You could see NJD were trying to get their shots high, but they didn’t, and Murray was able to get the Lesfs a point

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

We were lucky to get the point but our ot play has been disgraceful. To many passengers in the bottom 6, the only bottom 6 regular I'd keep is Kampf the rest can take a long walk off a short pier.

 

[Racer88]

Loser

 

[PromisedLand]

I'm impressed with the Devils. There's a team that's clicking and playing at the top of their game.

They are gonna be good for a long time. They are well managed. They will also be able to afford quality depth

 

[stickty111]

Another point for a game they lost. Three cheers for loser points.

Not the Leafs fault NHL came up with this system. A point matters and thats what they deserved

Murray was good again

Yea I’ve liked murray the last two games, he’s looked a bit like a swimmer at times, but he’s been much better than I initially expected. If he can play around this level I think the leafs goaltending tandem will be fine

 

[Ashdown2]

murray is amazing . hes the real deal.

its 100% clear this team needs offensive players. its litterally the top 4 with 10 other guys who cant score

 

[Griffin76]

It's time.

 

[Stephen]

They played like shit most of the night, the end result is aptly just for the pathetic effort put forth.

Our OT is absolutely embarrassing.

Stay status quo, get mediocre prizes.

I thought they played their possession game well at the pace they typically like but somewhere along the way this play style really short circuits the Big 4.

The PP needs to be completely nuked though. Try replacing the two point guys with a shot and a better distributor.

 

[RI.B FAN]

9 and 9

 

[CelticDruid]

Kind of hard to play keep away when your team is slow.

Not sure what kind of identity we have right now.

Incoming.......

 

[Tak7]

Pretty demoralizing to get dominated by a younger & more structured team like that. It's crazy how we've ended up in a scenario where the Devils are much better than us.

If the top line isn't going, this team looks so mediocre. Difficult to be optimistic about this group.

 

[Ho Lee Mackinaw]

Also where the hell is Auston Matthews

2 EV goals in 18 games. He's been shit

Yes, his 2 ev goals are concerning. And hard to believe that's all he has at this point. I'm not sure why it isn't getting more attention.

 

[Confucius]

Sucks we lost to a good team on a roll. Happy with1 point , we deserved it, we played hard.

 

[Stephen]

JT was key in that O.T goal. Just not the way I wanted

You don’t typically counter fast with really slow and succeed in 3 on 3.

 

[Antropovsky]

Is it just me or do they always looks so impatient in OT? Other teams will skate around and wait for something to open up. Leafs seem to always be passing it into danger or forcing a rush. Such a brutal unforced pass by JT.

Marner and Tavares are too slow to play together 3 on 3.... They were too slow to play together in the playoffs a few years ago and kept getting caught from behind by backcheckers.

All this money on 4 forwards and the only players I am confident on the ice 3 on 3 Matthews and Nylander. Beyond those players (because of our cap) the 3rd and 4th have literally no scoring threats. And Keefe won't play Robertson.
