Patience is the key

 

[wingman75]

Perfect play. No go.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Wow, More posts than saves by the goalie.

 

[93gilmour93]

How many off the post is that tonight?

 

[BallardEra]

How does Knies miss the empty net?

 

[Bellefour20]

How dysfunctional is this team dynamic when players perform better when they are forced to play without Matthews?

 

[Cleetus]

Patience is the key

I would like to go more with "trust the process"

 

[Racer88]

We start getting healthy and start playing like shit again lol

Yup. Where did the team go that was giving it all they had when Matthews was out? They are now back to playing like crap

 

[wingman75]

4th line has been very good tonight.

 

[thewave]

Guy’s level of mailing it in is visible from outer space. Isn’t even trying on faceoffs.

Sidney Crosby apparently wasn't happy during his rookie year with his faceoff performance

That summer according his coach, all he did was practice faceoffs. Studied it, practice it all day

One is not like the other... There's a reason why Sid has 3 stanly cups and one final

God damn we can't finish lately lol we have no business losing this game.

 

[Jmo89]

Leafs hit alot of posts.

 

[AcerComputer]

I see 51 and think Gardiner is on the team

 

[Schennanigans]

Luck not our side.

 

[Craig Button]

should have passed it to Marner

 

[Evilhomer]

I don’t think it’s good for the culture to half ass 50 minutes to turn on the jets like that. Tonight has not been an acceptable effort from Auston Matthews and scoring the tying and winning goal just lets him off the hook for what should be a better process.

If the Leafs score a few goals here and win the game, and Matthews plays a part in those goals, does it forgive 45 minutes of lackadaisical play? That is what you get with these kinds of players. Ovechkin looks disinterested for about 58 minutes of a game, and for the other two minutes he is the best player in the world. That is the trade-off you have to accept with exceptional talent. Sometimes it only needs to show up in brief moments.

November is over. Now back to our regular programming.

 

[Racer88]

Matthews is simply awful this year. What a waste of 13 million for a guy who doesn’t look like he gives a shit

 

[Craig Button]

Oh my god these refs are jokes

 

[thewave]

Don't forget Wes McCzauley. He is here to help

 

[Cleetus]
