Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose to Canucks 3-0

[Amadeus]

They lost tonight and I don’t care. It’s what they do in the playoffs. I think Rielly needs to play a lot better by the way.

Remember the David Ayres game? This one had a very similar vibe to it.

Maple Leaf home game. One of the biggest scams in sports

Rielly looks like he as regressed big time. That idiotic pass on the PP and getting walked like a pylon by EP highlighted his season to date.

Provides next to no offense and is a tire fire defensively.

I get that, but again at the end of the day its up to your best players to produce no matter what adversity they face. McDavid and Leon keep leading their teams in scoring most games. MacKinnon and Rattanen. Kuch and Point etc.

We need our best guys to be our best guys in most games and not get shutdown for mulitple games at a time.

I agree. Although, those players and teams you mentioned al had deep forward groups in their cup runs/wins. Once TB lost Coleman, Goodrow, Belemare… etc they have been on a downward spiral. Don’t believe they’ve won a round since in fact

On a positive note the first line wasn’t on for all goals against like it was last game

This game kind of had that "David Ayres game" feel. Ultra low energy all night and no real interest in taking advantage of a team who should be at a disadvantage.

 

[ACC1224]

Because of the outcome, a serious question; can anyone tell me how to switch from this white background to the dark one I was using before the change to this new format? Thanks.

My background is black and I want it white.

The improvement over the last two days is unprecedented.

I think we need to pay them even more

Did he really say this?

Didn't even see this post when I posted the exact same thing.

Gods aren’t capable of playing bad.

 

[Evilhomer]

Going deep is not realistic unless they catch a lot of breaks. I think management knows this

In saying this, which teams in the Eastern conference do you think are going to be in the conference final? I'm not sure I see any world-beaters in the bunch. Is there a team that is appreciably better than the Leafs?

 

[Nineteen67]

This is another example of why the Leafs should be very hesitant to overpay for Knies. He doesn't drive play.

That’s really not what he is. The puck dies on his stick so they need to play him in his role. I’d love to see him turn into Tom Wilson and be right on the fence of taking a suspension.

He has to be joking. If not he is totally delusional
They should ask the loser what he thought of their PP

Kinda wish they would stop parading him out there after losses. This is a top tier delusional quote from him.

Me too. I sometimes try to like him and then this happens. He should never be near a mic. All kidding aside it really hurts his image

Great hockey player some nights
Stupid human though. Talk less.

The media eats it up. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is the #1 requested player after losses. They know they will get their quote lol

You are probably right but someone needs to give him some media coaching

And by someone I don’t mean Willy

I swear they’ve worked on this with him, I just think he’s not that smart when it comes to articulating his thoughts. Gifted hockey player but man, when he speaks who knows what’s going on upstairs.

What did Matthews and Nylander have to say?
