Post-Game Talk: Shameful Leafs lose 3-2

[Aashir]

Florida went into a shell, so the push in the 3rd doesn’t tell the whole story. That being said, series isn’t over yet.

Yea…it is

This team doesn’t have it in them to win 4 of the next 5

 

[Blanche Blanche]

JT and Marner can’t be hammered over and over.

Willy and Matthews finally know what to do and it shows.

RoR is light years better than JT.

Overpaid JT and Narner.
We need guys who won’t slowly wither in the playoffs

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Keefe needs to bench Gio for f***s sake. He does’t have it.

 

[34]

SWEEP, this series is over. 100%.

 

[Antropovsky]

2nd goal was brutal. Can never go in

Been a regular thing in the playoffs. But that's a <2 million dollar goalie for you.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Came out flying and literally gave the game away with mistakes that weren't even forced. Gift wrapped goals for the other team. Finally got going again but hit like 4 posts and then did a great job of passing into the corner and around the outside with the goalie pulled... like... what?

 

[robertmac43]

Literally better in every single metric, just couldn't score.

 

[Havoc]

Nylander deserved better. Even on his give away, goalie should have easily bailed him out.

 

[Leafs98]

The pain is almost over

 

[Notsince67]

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

Not even close to true.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Yeah but we will always have the blind spin-o-rama skate deflection goal

Agreed. Wasn't anywhere near going in, but credit where credit is due, he put it into a dangerous space.

 

[stickty111]

Bahahahahah loser

Not a good look man

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I don't get it. They came out absolutely flying in both the first and third but just took a nap in the second. You just can't pull shit like that in the playoffs.

 

[Gallagbi]

Need to cut out the easy mistakes. Were in a big hole, lets see what they can do

 

[Menzinger]

Ones like that really suck. Plenty of high danger good chances in the third too...... Almost wish to get blown out in a way.

The core guys absolutely need to pull things together to steal the next two. If Sammy is going to be hit or miss like this need to put the goal in more often.

Series isn't over yet by anyways as terrible of a loss this was

 

[thewave]

Winning a round was fun but I need a break from this team. I’m just tired.

Lol. You're married to them

 

[Morlu]

Samsonov is trash
Just put in Murray and try your luck like Florida did with Bob

That 2nd goal was absolute back breaker
Leafs never recovered in 2nd

Absolutely gutted by that goal.

I absolutely blame Samsonov for that 2nd goal, but it’s on the team. You need to score more than 2 goals a game to win in this league. 2 goals in each game, is a disgrace.

 

[Brown Dog]

F off with this thread title.

 

[Aashir]

How come this team cant get Matthews any looks on a man advantage? Marner is useless on the halfboards, he has no shot and the opposition is glad to give him the shot. Need Tavares, Matthews, Nylander to be taking the shots.

He chokes either way
He got 2 on the man advantage and blew them both

 

[Wendelstache]

That 40sin the 2nd cost us
bad turnovers ended up in the net
their vezina goalie stopped pucks (we got goalied)
our goalie let in a back-breaker
some grade A chances that were missed (JT/Matthews)
Willy hit the post 2-3 times

We need the same effort in the 3rd for 60minutes and this series is winnable.

 

[Antropovsky]

Now. All we ever hear around here is "The Leafs need to play a full 60 minutes or they don't deserve to win!" For those who harp on this, let me ask you.

Was that a full 60 minute performance by the Florida Panthers?

Outside of Nylander they effectively shut down the rest of the team.

 

[Sniper99]

Dont blame this all on Sammy. Offense took the foot off the gas up 2-0 Fire that Puck from EVERYWHERE!!!! Seen too many 2-3 goal leads blown in this playoff. Dont take your foot off the f***ing gas.

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

Now we know why the Caps let Samsonov go. You ain't winning $hit with him in the playoffs.

 

[stickty111]

You know he's right.

Troll

 

[Raging Bull]

Shades of Andersen with that one weak goal.
