Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose in the Marathon

[Jmo89]

Campbell had worse numbers than Kallgren.

I wouldn't have started Jack fresh off an injury, but I'll cut him some slack here. It's hard to come in cold against any team. Florida even more so.

What a game, can't not be happy about 3 points in a road b2b against Tampa & Florida & all the entertainment that came with it.

Include this OT loss in the Leafs last string of games against elite teams, it's a big statement.

 

[Racer88]

play engvall in ot. campbell was in net for how many goals? just got home.

4

 

[Steven1562]

We were up 5-1 last year against Ottawa too lol.

 

[BTP]

You forgot we were up to 4. Expected them to lose playing b2b with backup but not to blow a 4 goal lead.

teams are blowing leads like this nightly league wide. scoring is way up. in the grand scheme of things it means nothing. we scored 4 straight, they scored 4 straight. different order.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

3 goals against because rielly can't defend a 2-1. Another 3 with holl being lost in front of the net. The last 1 is gudas' goal, where rielly is just standing there. Not defending with his stick. Just let's gudas shoot. It's a bad goal for Kallgren, but it would have been prevented if rielly just defended properly.

 

[Kurtz]

11m for a player who flubs an open net. For f***s sake john. We knew your skating would take a hit, but when the f*** did you turn into a grinder with no hands whatsoever.

Also thats the 3rd or 4th time matthews didnt change in OT and got blown the f*** by. Come on man. Although he can get all the passes lol.

He was hooked.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Not really concerned. The goaltending sucked for both teams.

I don't know why but that Florida team looks like a team going out in the 1st round.

They're not coming back all the time in the playoffs. Not happening. Our D sucked tonight but their D does not look good.

Kinda feel bad for Campbell being thrown in but still wasn't very good in relief. Hopefully he's better in Dallas.

Got another point. Shit happens.

Of the goaltending tandems of Bobrovsky / Knight or Campbell / Kallgren, whose do you think is more likely to let their team down in the first round?

Because I'll take our guys for $1 million, Alex...

 

[Confucius]

Exciting as hell, nobody has come into Florida in the last 3 years and won both games, we almost pulled it off. Only downer was no Mathews goals tonight but 95 points on the year. Marner played like a man posessed 4 points tonight?

 

[Metroid]

I love the 3/4 points talk, completely ignoring them blowing a 4 goal lead, as if that regularly happens to the good teams in the NHL and as if blowing leads isn't still a major concern for this team.

Nothing to see here lol!

We got 3/4 pts

 

[BertCorbeau]

I'm more upset because I thought the stars were aligning for Matthews to break the record on an OT GWG.

 

[zeke]

nothing to see here

Christ. Of course

 

[the squared circle]

Same ol story, same ol song and dance, my friend

 

[2 Slick]

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.

Tampa has been awful for a month now, not really sure how big of a statement was when they've been in a tailspin for awhile now.

Panthers won't lose to Washington IMO.

 

[Leafsfan74]

The team lost it's approach it has used successfully for the last two weeks or so. Hard, diiscplined, physical defense.

They beat this same team 5-2. We gave them 7 tonight and it took Campbell to get them the
point. He did well in a horrible spot B2B.

This type of hockey is loser hockey in the playoffs.

There's a reason why Tavares screwed up - he was hooked.

This. Refs took us to church and burned the cross tonight

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

4

all his fault?

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

I dont think Matthews and Bunting chew their mouth guards enough when they play

 

[BertCorbeau]

For everyone blaming Tavares in OT that was a clear penalty taken on him. Reffing did us dirty again. Multiple examples

Video?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Tbh we probably win if kallgren doesn't get hurt. Campbell having to come in mid game and played last night, not good.

Was just about to come and say this people forget that it's a big change of tempo and also huge ask for campbell to come off like that.

You really want people to join you with your sky is falling shtick but it's just not happening pal. Move on.

 

[IrishInOntario]

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.

It's also a potential momentum killer for the group, who came into the game playing with a lot of confidence. Games like that are hard to come back from in the short term.

 

[ClarkSittler]

We can't win em all, but blowing a 5-1 lead sucks.

Bush needs to play over Holl on Thursday.

 

[Craig Button]

Panthers won't lose to Washington IMO.

they wont have 3x3 OT or Shootouts to help them
