Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose in OT

[LeafalCrusader]

Nylander and Karlsson building chemistry for Team Sweden

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Take the point, probably didn’t deserve any points tonight, team looked sloppy, and not on the same page for most of the night.

Me, personally, I would try to have the team start deserving points.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Lol Marner and Nylander both losing possession in overtime trying fancy spin moves.

Whatever it was that Marner did was actually really funny. Sort of swooped in backwards. Got plastered against the boards.

 

[Jojalu]

Ugh.

 

[Stephen]

They should put out the head of lettuce test for Dubas/Keefe.

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Let’s give Dubas an extension. What a great team he put together. 4 - 4 agains the AHL. Wait till they actually play against some NHL teams; raises all around.

historically we play better against good teams

Get the games out of bottom feeders out of the way now... this team is so uninspired against garbage teams. Once we start playing Tampa, Boston, Florida etc we'll show up, that's just how it works. This group never makes it easy for themselves, but ultimately they'll figure it out.

 

[Enga Olly]

What's the Gerry's Percentage of Keefe having a job by Nov 30?

Good question.

If we don't see this weekend, 2 great efforts and results to match, I think Keefe will legit be in the hot seat. It's going to take a lot for Dubas to can Keefe but not out of the realm of possibility. Didn't see the game tonight but f*** me - losing to the Sharks? That's some bullshit right there

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

Not a lot of positives from this one. Matthews scored finally anyways. How do we make these lesser teams look so good all the time? Didn't care for the lineup, they played rather uninspired and looked off yet again.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Hello darkness my old friend

I don’t think darkness ever left

 

[Optimist]

Give me my near million $ a month payday. That's all that matters to these guys.

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

How you get your breaks beaten off, get two days of rest, and play like that against one of the worst teams in the league I do not know.

 

[Stephen]

The point is good, I guess, but another pitiful effort and another loss against a terrible team.

10% of the season now gone. The remaining 90% needs to be much, much better.

Or it doesn't. This could be a year where we take a step back and the program changes course. I don't think this era has unfolded the way they imagined anyway.

Except when the playoffs begin.

 

[Machinae]

I'm glad we rested Samsonov for no reason

Team playef like shit, what does the choice of goalie have to do with it

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Tavares and Sandin should not have been on the ice at the same time. You can’t have 2/3 of the players on the ice in OT be slow as molasses.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

No need to think about it, it definitely didn’t. Nobody thought back in 2017 we’d be where we are now.

 

[Brown Dog]

0-2-1 against Montreal, Arizona, and San Jose, arguably the three worst teams in the league. Those are valuable points we don't get back.

No killer instinct. Still.

literally the worst in the league when they're considered heavy favourites

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

They just got outplayed by a terrible team, and not for the first time this year. They need big changes, this team isn't just going to fix itself

 

[Superstar]

Nah, enough is enough. Team consistently loses to bad teams. This is not only the beginning of the season but a pattern of garbage over many years. This team is toast in the playoffs, if they even make it.

Dubas chair is on fire, this team is not constructed good enough.

It tells you our greedy star players don't want to out compete so-called "bad" teams...they simply think that talent alone will win them games...you really wonder what Matthews and Marner do the entire summer to prepare for the season.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

0-2-1 against Montreal, Arizona, and San Jose, arguably the three worst teams in the league. Those are valuable points we don't get back.

No killer instinct. Still.

Also no pride. Montreal embarrassed them in the playoffs and the Habs by far have looked like the better team in all of our meetings since then.

We're getting better odds in the Bedard sweepstakes

Having those two on the ice together 3 on 3 is on the coach.

maybe they are just not very good?
