Post-Game Talk: Shootouts hate us. Leafs lose 3-2

[namttebih]

Wow, Its a miracle, I had the same stats.

3 Stars:

1. Duffman

2. ReimerForPM

3. Seguin

Seems legit

I was watching the B's stream. You should hear how much they piss all over Kessel and suck Seguin off.

 

[tracker828]

Bozak is the only Leaf that is proficient in shootouts, no one else can score, can't win skills competitions when only one player scores.

grabovsky had a few spectacular so goals last year but now he is benched during them

 

[HarrisonFord]

LOL Wow, did NHL.com really name Seguin 3rd star? That's outrageous.

Haha, you bet they did.

Wow, Its a miracle, I had the same stats.

3 Stars:

1. Duffman

2. ReimerForPM

3. Seguin

Seems legit

I'd like $20M/5yrs please

Awesome to see Kadri mixing it up with Chara. The Kadri line looked great. The Bozak line looked terrible. Something needs to be done with that line.
Reimer was very good

 

[Duffman955]

Another plus, Reimer is getting his GAA back down.

He has been solid back there last 2 games. But, I would like to see Scrivens in tomorrow so we don't wear him out.

If you're going to be part of a community, you should learn how to make your point understandable and beyond the level of a child.

Otherwise, you're just as bad as the people complaining. Discuss hockey with the rest of us for a change, or don't post at all, because you are literally no better than those you're angry at with that post.

I see you decided to remove my post and replace it with your opinion of it. Thats fine with me, thats your prerogative. I just ask if you are going to quote me dont edit it. Leave it for what it is. I may have over-reacted but to see some of the crap that is posted on here and the fact ive been drinking heavily since the 3rd may have affected my ability toget my point out with being fired up

Leafs have won 2 games in the last 9.

Two games in the last 9!!!!!

It's not that people are over-reacting. It's that YOU are 'under-reacting'.

Did you think that this team was going to win the division or the conference. This team is doing what it can to keep its playoff spot. Teams go through ups and downs in a season, for being in a slump they still arent doing bad. Havent lost ground.

The Leafs can still close out March strong with 5 out of the possible 6 points. Panthers, Hurricanes and the Senators are all beatable.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Seguin sucks.

 

[mcleex]

3 out of 4 points against the Bruins

A little disappointed about the shoot out loss but quite frankly

 

[Kurisu]

Awesome to see Kadri mixing it up with Chara. The Kadri line looked great. The Bozak line looked terrible. Something needs to be done with that line.

none of those guys battle hard in the corners like Lupul, Kadri or Kuli would. Bozak and JVR have to be those players since I don't think Kessel would.

 

[Leafidelity]

I now realize why Gardiner wasn't here earlier. Franson took his spot in the sheltered #5 role. He isn't ready for more than that, hopefully Franson is now.

 

[agropop]

Hate the shoot out, win or lose it's a waste.... Paper/rock/scissors comp would be equally relevant... But, generally happy with the outcome, I'll take 3 of 4 against Boston any day...

 

[beleaf67]

LOL Wow, did NHL.com really name Seguin 3rd star? That's outrageous.

It must be his SO goal celebration, for a second I thought Bruins just won a Stanley Cup again ...

 

[Preisst*]

Kadri has proven chemistry with multiple players, and multiple left wings, MacArthur and Lupul.

You act like line changes don't happen when players are struggling. If we know Lupul can perform with Kessel, why not make an attempt at reviving JVR by sticking him with the only player who has EVERYONE around him scoring goals and picking up points.

Have an open mind. We need more than one line carrying our team. That kind of mindset is childish.

Exactly, I'm glad not all of you fail to understand the necessity of contributions from multiple lines.

Making changes on a game by game basis and trying to get every single player who starts to struggle play with the same guy is a recipe for disaster. Teams also need some continuity to win hockey games.

NOTE : I made my point without flaming, so who's being open minded?

 

[thepatient]

I wouldn't be surprised to see JVR out and Frattin in

 

[Pi]

Although i'm happy getting loser points, it's somewhat frustrating since the Leafs are ALWAYS winning and they find a way to blow off their lead. It feels like the team gets so relaxed after getting a comfortable lead

Problem is that this teams lets off the gas when they start leading.

I'd much rather play see them play tied...because they play with more urgency.

Whenever we lead into the 3rd, we're just not good at shutting the door.

The defense still has holes and it's easy to capitalize if you keep away at it against the Leafs.

IMO, I'm just happy that they got it to the 61st minute. That point is crucial for the Leafs.

 

[Duffman955]

Lupul - Kadri -Kulemin

Legit 1st line right there.

JVR needs to pick it up, he and Bozak have not been great lately.

Kessel on the other hand has been creating chances, backchecking, hitting, blocking shots

 

[ponder]

A win would have been great, but I'm still crazy psyched about 3 out of 4 points against the Bruins!

First of all, my entire post was removed by a mod.

Secondly, the only reason I removed the content of you post was to save space, it was mostly censored and because I wasn't addressing certain parts of it but instead the entire thing.

Third, I've been drinking too, fair enough. I just hate to see us argue amongst ourselves instead of just discussing hockey. That's why we're all here isn't it? Not to just throw out things we pretend are facts, but to have honest, clean hockey related debate. Everyone just overreacts to every single thing instead of just making a valid point that leads to discussion of the matter. I just didn't think your post was helping. There are other ways to release frustration.

Anyways, the post got removed so whatever.

I was honestly thinking that myself as I was watching it

 

[false bobo]

3/4 against Boston is amazing, you guys forget the 8-0 beatings from last year?? We're actually competing against these guys now.

notes:
Kadri is the man
Phaneuf looked silly on the Bergeron goal
Reims will get beat every time glove side on shootouts, there's nothing he can do to stop them...he looked like **** on the Bergeron s/o goal
JVR is gonna need to do a better job competing, he was invisible

We should put Lups back with Kessel, and JVR with Kadri.

Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
JVR - Kadri - Kulemin

Get two lines going!!!

Agreed with that top 6. Kadri and
Lupul are playing well off of each other, but Naz can click with just about anyone. Let's reunite Lupul/Bozak/Kessel and see if our top line can start playing like one.

 

[Al14]

That's the problem. Leafs have made a habit out of coming out flat in winnable games.

More often than not, a weaker team outplays us, just because, they're playing the Leafs! I hate that!!!

 

[34]

Seguin sucks.

Are you kidding? Seguin is Amazing, the kid is a stud. WAY better than Kessel.

 

[beleaf67]

grabovsky had a few spectacular so goals last year but now he is benched during them

He was going to be next

I completely agree with you. Just look at how the Leafs played during OT compared to their horrendous 2nd period when they were leading 2-0.

Maybe it's the lack of leadership within the team since all our players are young. Just an assumption, not a conclusion
