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

[Oiffub]

Bergeron made Reimer look like a ****ing bushleaguer on both goals. Horrible.

This aint a playoff team.

 

[Antropovsky]

I have as much confidence in Reimer in the shootout, as I did with the Raycroft + Cujo tandem.

 

[Lilou]

Wow calm down people.

3 out of 4 against boston. You did NOT expect that so chill out

They'll bounce back.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Got a point against the strongest defensive team. Feels good man.

 

[MiniMoose]

Is Bozak the only one for us who scored on the shootout this whole season?

 

[Terrence]

 

[The Apologist]

3 pts against the Ruins? I'll take it. No more Ruins all season? I'll take that too

 

[RASHBEEP]

oh well not too mad about this, i am annoyed how shootouts have cost us 4 points so far this year.

 

[ungentrified]

I've gone back to just freaking out whenever the Leafs have the lead because I just know they will blow it. I didn't watch the game, was it Reimer's fault?

Reimer did his job and made timely saves throughout. Unfortunately, he is not very good at shootouts.

 

[G51 K81*]

Uhhh no he is not, you want bad in the SO? watch CS or luongo.

Luongo is bad in SO's and in regulation

 

[-DeMo-]

thank god for loser points we've won 2 of the last 9 games.

 

[TMLegend]

This team is so ******* useless in the shootout. How ******* pitiful is it that Tyler Bozak is literally the only person who can score in them for us

 

[Durham Inline]

Regardless which team won tonight, what a terrible way to end a good game.


Seriously, would it hurt the NHL to play 5 more overtime minutes?

 

[buntek]

I know Phaneuf plays a lot of minutes but, HE IS AWFUL. Plain and simple.

 

[Radomon]

I would love for Kulemin to try another move at the shooout/breakaway for once. He's been using the same deke since his rookie season.

 

[AvroArrow]

Shootout has to be the stupidest way to end a game. I don't care if its 'exciting' for the fans, its a dumb way to decide a winner. It's good enough for regular season but not playoffs ? 4 losses in the shootout now, 4 potential points gone. Happy we took 3/4 vs Boston, but i hate shootouts.

 

[SprDaVE]

Is Bozak the only one for us who scored on the shootout this whole season?

Yes.

Kadri has been terrible on the shootout.

 

[LeafsMonster]

IMO Kulemin was the Leafs best forward tonight. Strong on the puck and on the boards, and kept many plays alive. Freaking workhorse.

And, he scored a goal

 

[Rare Jewel]

Reimer is ******* GARBAGE!

Missed the game again?


You gotta stop doing that.

 

[William Hylander]

Send out bozak 3 times next time rules can shove it.

 

[Warden of the North]

Why not a ****ing save?

Reimer is 13/21 this season. Thats pretty damn good actually.

 

[cup67]

the point is good, leafs are for real,

 

[IronHalen]

I've been saying this since the shootout began... why it isnt best out of 5 is wayyyyy beyond me.

 

[namttebih]

Hard fought tie

 

[Fabs]

Not the way you'd hope the game would end after being up 2-0, but hard to not be happy getting 3 of 4 points in these 2 games against Boston. Thankfully we're done with these guys now. Better still the team has shown at least this season they can make a game of it as opposed to just rolling over last season.
