Post-Game Talk: Refs 2-Leafs 1 in OT

[glue]

Can we please put Matthews with either Nylander or Marner. Furthermore Nylander playing well below his abilities, can’t give him a pass much longer. They also gotta separate Nylander and JT

 

[Aashir]

Tavares is too slow for OT, proceeds to start oreilly….a slower player

Core 4 just continue to not produce. All 4 were mediocre until the third where Matthews found his legs

Samsonov was good

Defence was good too

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Begging Keefe to just go back to what worked with the top six. Expected goals be damned, if they don’t convert on their chances what does it matter?

 

[Mr_Fun]

Probably should have won. We clinched home ice with the point. Can't wait for all the morose drama and hot takes after this "devastating" loss.

 

[Tlo1]

Marner shouldn’t see Pk time at all! Find someone else!!

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Leafs better work on their 3on3 for the playoffs.

They need to work on their absent PP.

 

[Stephen]

Great playoff tune up game, assertive physical play, strong goaltending, defense. Just a little light on the star power.

I don't think we should attempt to build a super line around Tavares. I'd just stick ROR with him and let them play a lower tempo muck it up, grind it out game. Conserve Matthews, Marner and Nylander for offense.

Good game by Lafferty, Aston-Reese as well.

 

[Gabriel426]

It was a great game for both teams.
But at the end, the Leafs just didn’t have that extra bit that give them the win or over the hump. Call it clutch or champ DNA. Hopefully ROR will provide that in the playoffs.

 

[Leafblooded]

Great game yadayada, we lost, nobody got hurt, our pride is hurt Elliott. That was a leaf playoff preview, process and result. I am of little faith. Boston brings back many a darkness.

 

[mikeyz]

I'm not even pissed that they reversed that call.

What I'm pissed off about is that if that was the Leafs getting the penalty they would have never reviewed that.

P.S where was that Phantom high stick call on Kerfoot in game 6 last year that the refs should have reviewed but they didn't?

 

[sofrustrated]

Ya the FO violation was technically the right call, but it's not reviewable and the only reason they changed their mind is the Jumbotron in Toronto Dominion Gardens

This is pretty much it, isn’t it? How does a penalty get reversed?

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Fuuuuuck me
The Bruins are both amazing and also the largest frauds I have ever seen in this league. They get outplayed they win. They outplay the other team they win. Boring game and somebody has to win, they win. Wtf is with that team this season. I mean that is a good team but they are performing like one of the greatest teams of all time. Does that seem like one of the greatest teams of all time? Bergeron in his prime is a greater player than Pasternak but now he is just a solid core guy. Marchand almost looks washed. DeBrusk in the top 6. I don’t get it.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Thought we played really well after a poor start. And we got a point to clinch home ice, which is good (I hope).

No big complaints from me.

 

[therealkoho]

I'm kind wondering if the league really thinks nobody notices

 

[DragoGrizzly]

Cheap win for the Bruins after a well fought game. Thought it was a great tight game otherwise. Bruins are dirty as hell though. Crosschecks after every play.

 

[authentic]

How do they call a penalty on Rielly there in OT? He basically just lifted his stick

 

[BayStBullies]

Bettman's Angels might have been given the win, but a Tampa loss is more than enough here.

 

[GoonieFace]

Playoff style game. Leafs lose

This is not a recording

Didn’t really lose, but whatever

 

[Racer88]

This is a Preview of the playoffs…….we play ok and almost win but just never seem to get it done

 

[Ho Lee Mackinaw]

Wanted Matthews to grab this game by the throat and make a statement. He had moments but I hoped for more.

It will be interesting to see if Bunting can be effective without being classic Bunting.

Samsonov was good. That's positive.

 

[Aashir]

Also the devils put up 8 on Columbus…we need our scoring to come back

 

[MoreMogilny]

Rielly is liability

Yup. Keefe doesn’t use him to his strengths. He can’t defend, and right now he’s not generating offense that he’s shown the capability of.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Our big 4 have to find a way to be influential on the scoresheet in playoff games. Even if it's just PP goals.

 

[garce]

Played well, will win most nights with that effort. 4 th line really solid settle on the other 3 and let’s go.

 

[BayStBullies]

How do they call a penalty on Rielly there in OT? He basically just lifted his stick

Then they reverse a call from watching the scoreboard, which they can't do.
