Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-4 over the Red Wings

[v00d00daddy]

Good to see some of the big boys carry the team tonight

Matthews needs to find his mojo

Keefe could have helped with the mojo. Matthews should have been on for the empty net time. Plain and simple.

Engvall, Kampf and Kerfoot out there instead of matthews lol

 

[Havoc]

Feels like he's playing too slow and reacting rather than dictating play.

Well I guess I mean slow it down as in use his eyes and head some more, cycle, make some plays. They're not really playing with each other, they're just on together.

 

[Superstar]

What an ugly win, but we'll take it! Mrazek giving me Freddie vides! And good for Marner for breaking the goose egg with his first!

 

[On-the-Fly]

barely squeaked two games vs two shittiest teams

Half like
Dont think they barely squeaked that one out.

More like, squeaked.

Marazek was awful but the offense showed up


They NEEDED that

 

[ULF_55]

I can't blame the young defense for that mess.

More the forwards being clueless defensively.

 

[PromisedLand]

btw what was marner pissed at the end for?

 

[v00d00daddy]

Thank god keefe benched Matthews. If not we’d be in overtime rn or worse. That line was so bad, they need to regroup and come back better next famr

If Keefe benched matthews he should be fired. Plain and simple. That’s pure idiocy. It’s not like Matthews wasn’t working hard tonight.

Freddie was a good goalie

 

[ryno23]

Also Liljegren should not come out of this lineup. He was so good, holl looked like almost the average beer league player compared to him

too bad Lilly doesn't have Holl size or Holl has Lilly skating

 

[On-the-Fly]

Campbell definitely is the better goaltender than Mrazek, no one will change my mind on that either.

To be honest with you, I hope Mrazek does!

But i doubt 'er

 

[Cecithepylon]

Marner saved us

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Large parts of this game yes. They were up 33 shots to 19 at one point. They had double the scoring chances. They had 4 more minutes of puck possession in the offensive zone. The 3rd period was not great though, despite scoring a couple goals. They had some bad bad giveaways.

Can we not do this negativity baloney and pretend like they didn't have a good game just because it wasn't 10-0.

Provide your thoughts on the game if you disagree.

Mrazek kept the Wings in it. Otherwise, Leafs played really well.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Feels like a loss to me

You know they won right

 

[Gallagbi]

I can't blame the young defense for that mess.

Our young pair was our best tonight. Mo and Dermy, not so much

 

[Havoc]

Marner saved us

Johns last name is Marner?

 

[On-the-Fly]

I missed him every time Dermott retrieved a puck, buried a shot into someone's shin pads or missed an easy outlet- which happened often

Reminded of what you're missing or what?

 

[ryno23]

JT was on fire tonight that line had great game. The D looked a little better that last few games

 

[PromisedLand]

Anybody know what happened? why is marner ticked? I missed it

 

[Teeder Keon]

 

[Gallagbi]

Mrazek kept the Wings in it. Otherwise, Leafs played really well.

Our mistakes were big and costly. This team still can't handle pressure and it shows. Hopefully this is the type of learning experience to shape them for later in the season, but it's concerning

It doesn’t matter. 11m isn’t for just working hard, it’s for not making mistakes and also converting. Matthews did neither, he tried and still gave a goal up. He wasn’t good enough for this game. Marners been benched, nylander has been too, and so has Tavares. It’s not hard, if you aren’t playing well, you should be benched. Doesn’t matter of the name

Yeah 2 really iffy and leaky goals today. The other goals were pretty tough shots to stop.

It's called closing out a game. Matthews gets the last few mins when we're down, not when we're leading...
