Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose in the Marathon

[PromisedLand]

back to back 3 out of 4 points; both against divisional rivals. I'll take it.

I think we see Florida 2 more times. We;ll get it done then.

P.S. Enough with the Holl love fest Keefe. ENOUGH!!!!

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Ok now we have have to outscore them 7-1 next time we play to give us cushion. 5-1 isn't good enough

 

[IrishInOntario]

5-1 lead with Florida's starter pulled.

I've got my ready for the littany of excuses from the regular "everything is fine, this happens to all the good teams" crowd.

And... Go!

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

3/4 points in Florida is good.

Plus Boston is losing 4-2 to Detroit. lol.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Reffing needs some accountability this is a straight up acceptable display of an entire season by them. And not just for us, almost every team will say the same thing. Disgusting

This league is 100+ years old and its the exact same format. Maybe some new age ideas should be implemented.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Rielly break up a 2 on 1 pass in my life.

It’s comical

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I want a better view of that JT miss in OT. What the f*** happened?

 

[All Mod Cons]

3 outta 4 is a good return. Absolutely mental game tonight. Guys completely ran out of steam. Hal Gill is a better skater than Tavares.

Please, no more Holl.

 

[Lightsol]

I'd still love to know how in the hell Florida managed to score off of Sam Bennett lying on the puck in the corner for a good 20 seconds. Isn't that normally a whistle?

 

[BayStBullies]

I cannot understand why Holl feels comfortable with the puck on his stick. Ends up being a turnover more often than not. Wish we traded him.

I don't think he should be on a playoff roster. The decision on the final 6 is now pretty clear.

 

[fahad203]

Is it weird that I am not even mad anymore

That from time to time I expect these types of games?

Unless Keefe wins few rounds, he'll never get my respect

For someone who has been here for 2 years, he has a long list of embarassing losses

 

[crump]

meh. The. boys will be watching some video in the next few days.

 

[93LEAFS]

Can't blow 5-1 leads. Nice to get 3 out of 4 on a Florida road trip, but that positive is missed due to the way this ended.

 

[Atomos2]

How many goals was Muzzin and Holl on for?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

they built up a great lead, but just ran out of gas trying to defend it. Goaltending didn't do them any favours either. It is what it is

 

[riffle]

Anyone who thinks the Leafs sent a message to Tampa but this loss to Florida doesn't matter is experiencing peak cognitive dissonance.

Both are true. Huge message sent to Tampa and huge message received vs. Florida. A total choke job...and those are very hard to get over.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Bring the Boosh back.

 

[ECanuck]

I know you can miss the little things. BUT by the second half of the 3rd they had no legs. I like the fight in them down the stretch.

 

[Scion]

You can't lose up 5-1. It just isn't good enough.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Tavares and Holl looked bad.

Really bad.

This team needs to get its collective head out of its ass.

1st line can't be the only reliable line out there every single night.

Holl is on a completely different level of bad than JT is. Holl shouldn't see another game once they put Brodie back with Rielly and then pair Muzzin with Boosh.

 

[kerk]

nothing to see here

 

[Craig Button]

Refs calls stick lifts as hooks
and when JT gets slashed on his hands

 

[danron1376]

JT might have been hooked that made him miss the net

 

[DanM]

We have so much talent, but absolutely nothing between the ears once we face any adversity.

Like how many f***ing times are we going to keep blowing games.


Insanity.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Inexcusable to give up a 5-1 lead.

Coming back to tie is 6-6 took some guts.

JT had the game on his stick and botched it. But OT is OT.

Second half of a back to back against two elite teams. Hard to sweep that. Apparently only 1 or 2 teams have swept games in Florida/Tampa on a back to back in a long time.
