Post-Game Talk: Shameful Leafs lose 3-2

[Dragao6]

At least this is all happening before all these extensions have to be given out?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

As much as I would not pay 88 9+m he was dynamite in the 3rd.

He was good, but we needed him to show a pulse a lot earlier.

 

[ToneDog]

He’s still a shit albatross goalie. Our core choking against him doesn’t change that

Slayed the mighty Bruins and two games away from slaying the SC favorites.

 

[fahad203]

yea, I know.....2018 as well.

My point was they didn't win either of those series though the OP failed to mention that.

It's simple then
We win the next 4 and avoid game 7

 

[theTTC]

Knies choke-slammed and down for the three count. He finally skated off alone past a smirking Panthers bench.

Nice team you assembled, Kyle. Still each man for himself, as you so designed it.

 

[Cleetus]

pffft, I'll make accusations all I want. You're the main culprit my friend.

post proof, you are a joke prove it or shut up, simple no? I did not f***ing report you, can you not read?

 

[sxvnert]

The McCabe and Brodie pairing haven't been great together either.

McCabe -5 and Brodie -4 in two games.

 

[WillNy29]

When was the last time Leafs played a full 60 though

the team beating them played 5 minutes;

Well sort of.......win the next one and go from there

 

[93LEAFS]

He was good, but we needed him to show a pulse a lot earlier.

We need our 40m in salary cap forwards to break a goalie when he gets hot, otherwise fundamentally how our team is built is broken.

 

[fahad203]

You're just emotional.

Perhaps but he's not wrong
We got goalied by Korpisalo, Price, Vasi and now Bob ?

 

[Brown Dog]

Soft group in here.

Not many teams cake walk to the Cup. There's always adversity along the way.

Seems most around here aren't up for it.

 

[seventieslord]

Is it possible to get a hypnotist into the dressing room and convince the players on their way out for the first period that it's actually halfway through the third and they're down by two goals?

 

[Gabriel426]

what intensity from tampa series lol. Tampa outplayed us badly.


When I asked for more clutch, it was IN ADDITION to playing well. Not in exchange to playing well.

They did had intensity, usually around the 10mins mark of the 3rd and during OT

 

[Suntouchable13]

They'd get goalied by David Ayers. IT doesn't matter who the goalie on the other side is. The 40M forwards just need to finish, full stop. Our whole team is built around those guys.

 

[Antropovsky]

At least this is all happening before all these extensions have to be given out?

Before nmc kick in too.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Nylander did and backhanded it off the top of Bob's pad. It would've been a goal if he'd raised it a bit higher. That was far from the only in-tight chance.

There were in close chances yes, but I am saying why can't the Leaf player with the puck simply make a bee line straight to the net like McDavid does at least 20 times a game.
Get Babrovski and the Florida defence off their game.
Storm the net.

Knies choke-slammed and down for the three count. He finally skated off alone past a smirking Panthers bench.

Nice team you assembled, Kyle. Still each man for himself, as you so designed it.

I dunno how many Leafs players saw what happened there. The ref was looking right at it. If he didn't want to call the hold or high stick, the choke-slam was definitely worthy.

Calling trips and slashes, but plays that can end a guys career, nah, play on.

Soft group in here.

Seems most around here aren't up for it.

Game 3 is now a must win.

Take that and worry about the next one.

 

[sxvnert]

Tavares: 11 AAV
Matthews: 11.6 AAV
Marner: 11 AAV

Bob: 10 AAV

do the math

So acquire Hellebuyck this summer then?

 

[PromisedLand]

Better team won. Why can’t every team have a terrible goalie?

Dubas went and got a made of glass goalie (murray) and a magic 8 ball shot in the dark goalie (samsonov)

you wanna blame someone you know where to point the finger

 

[keonsbitterness]

Anybody laughing at goalie Bob now?

He's the ultimate boom/bust/boom/bust type of player. He's booming now.

 

[wingman75]

Before nmc kick in too.

They all kick in on July 1?

 

[All Mod Cons]

Leafs are losing pretty much the same way Boston did, just a bit sooner…maybe that’ll be a good thing in the long run and they can correct and identify mistakes early? Gonna be tough. Everyone underestimated the cats, including me and I said Bruins in 6 not a sweep or even gentlemen’s like a lot of cocky fans or neutral fans interested did.

If this team has a hope of winning the leafs fan base needs to collectively yell at to all it may concern: take the body and the puck all at once.

Bruins played at the end of their sticks constantly and it lead to turn overs, panthers have capitalized on more turn overs than any other team these playoffs

To be fair, I don't think the Leafs are underestimating the Panthers are all. They're absolutely peppering the Panthers goal and making stupid defensive mistakes.

I don't see the Leafs taking them lightly anywhere.

 

[Buds17]

I feel as though they'll essentially have to repeat the Round 1 magic of winning both Games 3 and 4 on the road now. It can be done, but...
