Post-Game Talk: Ooh Baby Almost A Comeback! Leafs 4, Jets 5

[Liferleafer]

Got a point we were lucky to get.
Habs lost 5-0.
We passed the Habs for 3rd.
I'll take it.

Sens=loss
Bluejackets=loss
Habs=loss
Flyers=loss

This point is actually pretty big.

Too bad both goalies sucked for us tonight, should have been a win. Oh well, lucky to steal a point tonight. Good road trip overall I must say.

What did Bernier do? That was a very tough shot to stop.

 

[InShannyWeTrust]

Corner snipes? Lmao, are you blind? It was about 6 inches off the ice and went in between his arm and his body. That goal was weak as ****.

'weak goal'

do you guys expect goalies to stop corner snipes in the slot every time or something? some wacky expectations here.

reimer's first was a weak goal. the OT winner was not. 3 on 1, theres no buff should have got that shot off.

exactly. the winning goal was a dirty snipe.

 

[TML 13]

Want to explain how Bernier sucked?

He came in cold, what can he do? Played well as far as I'm concerned.

 

[TML23]

What is his trade value? Doubtful we get back anything of importance, considering he's just a backup

Sarcasm much? Sigh.. I guess I had to use this

 

[ForSpareParts*]

Great game. Leafs fought back. I'm proud of them for getting the point.

Are we ahead of Montreal in the standings now?

 

[Duffman955]

With NHL average goaltending, we would have easily won tonight

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Want to explain how Bernier sucked?

.857 save percentage. Barely better than Reimer's .833. Both goalies were awful tonight, just as they were last night.

#FireTherrien trending again

Habs should hire Bob Aaartley when the Flames can him. Smurfs gooning it up would be hilarious.

 

[The Reaper]

Great game. Leafs fought back. I'm proud of them for getting the point.

Are we ahead of Montreal in the standings now?

Yes we are

 

[Liferleafer]

I think my new avatar is jinx....ever since I put it up, our starters keep getting pulled!

 

[Rare Jewel]

Can we still get Yakupov for Reimer??

His equipment maybe.

He's always good for a laugh

 

[StringsAttached]

I'm going to give lupul 5 more games, if he doesn't pick it up i'm changing my avatar.

 

[TootooTrain]

Sens=loss
Bluejackets=loss
Habs=loss

Yup. They showed alot of push back in the 3rd. OT/SO could have gone either way. I'm not happy, but somewhat satisfied with the roadtrip.

I've never understood this argument. What does it matter who's in a user's avatar? Not everyone is extremely biased towards that particular player.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

I saw a sequence where the puck happened to be in the slot and Bernier calmly pokechecked it away before the 'Peg player could get to it. Im sure Reimer would have attempted to try and get across to block the shot. That's one of the reasons I like Bernier better.

 

[Erdinger]

Yes we are

Habs were exhausted. After all it was their 3rd game in 4 nights.

 

[TheKule]

Anyways, amazing game from Rielly and Gardiner (despite 2 extremely scary turnovers).

Lupul rushing up the ice all night and taking hits to make plays. He'll get his game back.
Dion was bipolar tonight.
Kessel is amazing

 

[4evaBlue]

I'm fine with the point. 2-1-1 on the 4 game roadtrip...that's just fine.

+1. Whichever way you look at it, Bernier earned us a point. The scoreboard also did huge favours for us tonight.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Rielly's got 4 points in previous 6 games

Give him more ice time

 

[p.l.f.]

I'm happy with the point

 

[ForSpareParts*]

I love watching The Buds when Cole is commentating. I love that guy.

 

[Blufreezy]

He came in cold, what can he do? Played well as far as I'm concerned.

I agree. I don't understand how someone can try and say Bernier sucked. He made saves when he had to and allowed us to climb out of Reimers hole. He got sniped in OT. It happens, that doesn't mean he sucked.

 

[The_Chosen_One]

I am not upset. I think we showed some character hanging in there for a point. I'll take it.

A lot of players especially in D had off nights again. Franson and Dion despite of points they got were horrible.

First line had 95% night off but good on Brodie's line to get some goals

I see us as a team that is driven by the top line and pairing. There is no depth here. The fact that our secondary lines/ pairings look "good" has a lot to do with much lower quality of competition. It's pretty obvious when watching the opposing players on the ice.

Gardiner doesn't do much offensive despite being given great opportunities to do so. Rielly is still very raw, and I just can't see stronger offensive production from our top pairing without a legitimate #2.
