Post-Game Talk: Mother's Day No Show: Leafs Lose 2-0

[Gabriel426]

Perhaps, but at least he's smarter/sneakier about it.

Domi blindsiding Barkov like that at the end of the game is just asking for a suspension.

Maybe that’s what it needs for Robbie to come in and score a goal or two

 

[Rare Jewel]

The elbow on Marner was worse. Hopefully that’s getting attention too.

It should have been a penalty, but it's not worse than what Domi did.

No he isn't
It's the team he plays for.
If Bennet was on the leafs he's be f***ed
Domi would be able to do what he wants ..
Different rules for the teams man. Clear as soap here.

I'd keep him (Domi) out of the lineup, too.

And rough some shit up!

It's just not. That's tin foil hat stuff.

They had more than enough calls tonight and couldn't do a thing with the PPs they got.

 

[TopCheeseShotta]

Broken record, but...... the effort and commitment required from M&M = not nearly good enuff. Craig says he'll have a talk with those that we need more grind from, so we'll see if he can reach Matty specifically. My guy just needs one

Their PPs did suck

f*** their PP

I'm taking about all the head shots that got unpunished.... Suspensions potentially for the cats guys. I'm not excusing their shitty play tonight to poor reffing. Just saying there's double standards to hits and shit, and domis hit was not the worst thing to happen this series.
GLG.

I doubt Matthews has one goal left in him this series. He’s not doing any of the good honest forechecking work required to retrieve a puck or even put a defense on its back foot. Spectates while Knies does all the work and he doesn’t fight for inside position in the slot. Hesitates to skate through the neutral zone with the puck. Has no idea where to be on the PP. Panic passes the puck away on stationary little shitty passes. And he can’t shoot worth a damn.

Kulikov’s elbow on Marner’s head is like routine Panthers playbook stuff. Whatever random acts of violence that happens to Florida is usually they’re getting payback for some earlier trash. Dirty team. Dirty coach.

I agree they've missed some, but they've also given PPs for things like that embellishment call in the first game. It goes both ways.


I disagree with the Domi hit, though; it's been the worst hit thus far. Hate it. If that were Bennett on Matthews, we'd be tearing the seats out.

 

[LaPlante94]

This was pretty awesome too. Even acts like he's making a change when no defender is near the bench to come off.

He's a broken record indeed. It is the same ol song and dance with Matty. He is a shell of his former self physically (injury), but moreso - he's also a non-factor emotionally, and this is the true test of a captain, a leader, and one of your best players. He's never good enuff. God gifted when healthy and when the emotions and expectations are low (I mean, what more can you say about a guy whose best game ever eas his first game in the league?!?!) - but when the tension and intensity rise, he avoids the necessary grind like the plague. Maybe it's the fear of whatever is always wrong w his body, but he's just not built for this time of year.

Purposely opened the bench door to try and injure Nylander.

That little shit that’s a dangerous play

 

[arso40]

Here’s an idea the only line that actually works is your second line so mix the other ones up thank god we’re home with last change again chief better be making adjustments cause they did they changed their whole approach the only reason they moved barkov off Matthews line was to shut down nylanders line barkov and Matthews were a wash they realized they can put the third line on them with the second pair and still get a wash and now they can put their top players against nylander and there’s guys on here that want to convince people Hes the third wheel……….if he’s the third wheel there isnt a first or second one

 

[Mike4Leafs4ever]

Mikkola clearly opened the f___ing door here. That is the dirtiest play I have ever seen. And some are whining about Domi's hit on Barkov. That was childs play compared to opening the bench to intentionally injure another player.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Watching this game was like watching Old Yeller.

Except Old Yeller was sad. I cried when he got put out of his misery. That dog had bite and didn't deserve to get shot.

Unlike these softies who just roll over and play dead first sign of a fight.

For a team with a lot to prove the only thing these chokers look set to prove is what appears to have been proven so many times already: they can't get it done in the big games.

I can't afford to buy tickets to go throw waffles on the ice.

So I've been throwing them at the poster on the wall. I don't have any of the current players but thanks to Canadian Tire the 100 greatest Leafs of all time have been getting pasted instead. To be fair most of them didn't win anything either.

Now that I think about it I'm not too sure what exactly makes them all so great.

 

[binop7]

Matthews has the yips. He's playing like a 4th line grinding center. For 13M it makes me want to vomit.

if ever there was a team that were pro chokers it would be this bunch that call themselves the leafs

come next season he should be on another team

he should never put on a leafs jersey ever again the leafs play way better without him in the lineup it's been proven over and over

The same old leafs are revealing themselves.
