Pre-Game Talk: Toronto @ Pittsburgh - 7pm HNIC

[Phion Keneuf]

Losing to Pens is very embarrassing. Especially after losing to an Ovi-less Caps.

Wake up

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Any other predictions from Nostradumbass?

 

[Puckstuff]

Why are we so much better without Matthews

 

[tmlms13]

Do these people know that sticks are meant for shooting the puck

 

[Beanzy]

Am I crazy or did 34 just give up on trying to keep that puck in the zone?

 

[francis246]

Leafs would rather take the loss than have to play overtime at the end of a back to back.

Lol overreaction much.

The issue of special teams is back.

 

[Mr_Fun]

That was a horrible pass to Tavares. Really put him in a bad spot

He can't handle the puck in those spots.

 

[Bellefour20]

But we were told the narrative of the team playing better without Matthews was silly.

 

[weems]

Matthews just soft plays all over the ice

 

[ClarkSittler]

Matthews is a more complete player than Ovechkin has ever been.

Maybe, but more than the McDavid, Mackinnon, Crosby? Nah.

 

[Blanka]

That was a horrible pass to Tavares. Really put him in a bad spot

Matthews again. Can someone Tonya Harding him tomorrow?

 

[Craig Button]

that’s on Berube

 

[wingman75]

At the end of the day Jarry > Woll tonight.

As good as this team CAN be, I don't think that is who they are.

Tre has some work to do.

This is major loserville right now. Even the wins have come from shit games.

 

[34]

Scheduled loss as I said. They got crushed again.

Woll is f***ing garbage.

 

[mcleex]

Why would they even pass it to Tavares there

 

[glue]

Preview to playoffs ..we have crazy skilled guys..but Will over Skill every time

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Any other predictions from Nostradumbass?

He actually called this one

 

[Racer88]

Matthews comes back and they turn into a sack of losers……simply pathetic

 

[ClarkSittler]

There are a lot of posts here that should be saved when the Leafs win this game in OT.

I see.

 

[francis246]

Why are we so much better without Matthews

Because the team actually gives a f*** and plays hard without him in the lineup. Matthews if he’s not scoring is so disengaged.

 

[1specter]

Very disappointing.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Not a good 3rd period.

 

[Legion34]

@Evilhomer calling the comeback was the tsn turning point.

Must be 0-3649 in predictions

 

[Apex Predator]

Kyle somewhere

 

[Stephen]

back to being average now that Matthews is back... shocker

This version of Auston Matthews is addition by subtraction when he isn't in the lineup. He's a black hole out there from a compete perspective and that's no way for an alpha to play.
