Post-Game Talk: Leafs Suck, Jets in OT 4-3

[Mortimer Snerd]

That tripping penalty on Niku could of been a killer, but Maurice had him and Potato out there with 3 minutes left so I'm guessing he liked his game

They had been out way too long. That's what happens when a team can't get in a change. Tired play.

Anyone have issues with Sportsnet.ca? About halfway through the 2nd the feed died and after relogging/refreshing many times it would show like 10 seconds of the oiler/ leaf post game from the other night and freeze. Had to listen to the 3rd/ot.

Yes, my feed died and regrouped with the delay being about 10 seconds! Then the sound and video became disjointed - I use my MacBook to push Comcast to the TV. No issues like this with any TSN feed.

Jets beat leafs

tsn still finds a way to make it about Austin Matthews

They were caught on a long shift because they were incapable of stopping the cycle or taking the puck away. Niku was thoroughly beaten by Kerfoot along the boards to keep possession. If Niku can't find a strategy to handle opponents along the boards he won't be effective. He should watch tapes of Enstrom, Spurgeon and pre-2019 Morrissey to learn some strategies.

As per the Leafs board it was our Stanley Cup.

They don't even know what the SC looks like. They think it's an A&W mug with an etching of Austin Matthews and his ugly stache on the side.

 

[Whileee]

Fair. Maybe ‘screw the advanced stats’ but that doesn’t work as well lol we got caved in xG.

Remember the pass from Wheeler to a wide open Ehlers on the doorstep that Andersen just tipped away? Zero xG for that play.

Also, Helle was making saves but he was spilling rebounds like a Gumby doll. Lots of second chances on Helle would be prevented with better rebound control.

Jets win!

Also I’m happy the filth from the Laffs board didn’t spillover to our side unlike the last game.

You can thank the mods for remembering to flush twice.

The filth has already been hosed down the drain. BTW good job by the MOD(s) on cleanup duty...

I'll mention the thing that drove me nuts in here since my wife didn't care - Copp needs to have better awareness if he's gonna be on the PP, that 2nd goal was directly on him and not knowing that the PP was up.

Otherwise sloppy game from mostly everyone on both teams.

 

[DashingDane]

That was certainly entertaining to watch! Filthy Laine shot and beauty Wheels celly.

My biggest complaint was the broadcast. I had to check if I was on the Toronto feed. Made Sawyer feel like the a world class commentator.

Yuo, I thought Copp was sloppy with the puck a few times and he overcommitted on the tying goal. Matthews was the dangerous player there and Copp took an angle to the point that left Matthews a clean shot.

But the real drag tonight among forwards was Perreault. He was terrible in every facet of the game.

............and yet Leaf fans hate Hughson and Simpson, I guess they need to slurp the Leafs harder.

Yes, they were hemmed in. Niku wasn't the only Jet on the ice.

 

[bustamente]

So LB in tomorrow, is Kuli on the trip and does he slide in for Niku or roll with the same line up

 

[thejaf7]

Dude in the crowd just hanging his head on the bottom GIF is awesome

 

[thejaf7]

In case Leaf fans are wondering that's a big F U

But who did it better? McDavid finger wag or Wheeler helmet unstrapping?

The flip up of the helmet seals it for Wheeler

Kyle Connor TOI - 24:14
Nikolaj Ehlers TOI - 14:32

It's to balance out scoring as Ehlers will score the same as Connor (and Laine) in less TOI

 

[Teemusalami204]

I wonder why that celly at that time for wheeler. Looks like he was telling his team to get off the ice after pointing saying " let's go"

Anyone see that???

I interpreted that as "get your asses out here on the ice and let's celebrate!"

 

[Teemusalami204]

That makes sense. What a celly. These types of moments can turn a season around. Or continue win streaks at the least

Connor kills penalties

 

[hn777]

Connor kills penalties

That doesn't explain the big difference. Connor played 5:33 more at EV and 2:25 more at PP!

 

[Garbox]

Wheeler snapped that buckle like a jet pilot snaps his mask after a succesful dogfight. Which makes it even more appropriate
