Post-Game Talk: We Lost. Again. 52 Shots For. Small Building Steps. Can't Complain

[Daisy Jane]

mostly good game.
Bernier had his moments, Dion too. Rielly had a great goal, and I really liked Harrington and some others. again... later. just add some talent, we'll be good to go.

Success

 

[Swervin81]

This was almost Ron Tugnutt level of absurd shots on goal.

And that was with the infamous North Stars scorekeeper who had an insanely liberal definition of shot on goal.

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels bad man

 

[LeafsNation149]

52 shots...

 

[Snow Dog]

if not for superior goaltending the Leafs win both games against the Habs this season.

[AustonMcDavid]

Out shot them 52-27 and lose 5-3.

 

[Gary Batman]

Can't complain about the effort. Poor special teams hurt us.

Price was ridiculously good.

 

[Leafidelity]

And thats game.

Not mad, they fought right to the end, but again we lack finishers.

Rielly is the best player on the team

 

[WTFMAN99]

I liked Rielly's game.

 

[dballislife2]

harrington just needs to get faster and working on skating...once that improves he'll be a solid 3rd pairing stay at home D

 

[FlareKnight]

No issues.

Leafs played hard, scored some goals, and lost. Move onto the next one and have some comfort in the draft position.

 

[TMLeafer]

Very good effort. I know they lost, but I haven't really felt ripped off by their effort yet this year. Just a couple of bad plays turned out to be the difference.

Marincin and Polak were awful. Screw you Dave Nonis for giving Gunnar away.

 

[Space Coyote]

Rielly will be something special.

 

[Swervin81]

Very good effort. I know they lost, but I haven't really felt ripped off by their effort yet this year. Just a couple of bad plays turned out to be the difference.

Marincin and Polak were awful. Screw you Dave Nonis for giving Gunnar away.

And throwing in a free 4th.

And retaining salary.

Good god.

His mistakes still haunt us. Far too many to count. Gave away 3 second rounders for 3 mediocre talents as well.

 

[SprDaVE]

Not even mad. It's all good.

I just hope we get to see a lot of trades sooner rather then later.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

This is the rebuild we've been waiting for.

This was an entertaining game, and the team worked hard.

Those are the victories we should be looking for. The ones in the Wins/Losses column are counterproductive.

 

[deletethis]

The consolation is knowing that Montreal are going to go on big losing streak very soon.

 

[Dhaemon]

Habs fan here. Just wanted to say the Leafs played awesome tonight. Montreal looked winded (Burnt out) and felt like the leafs were on the PP for 40 mins.
I know the loss sucks for you, but damn the leafs earned my respect tonight. Please play with that tenacity for the rest of the season and we'll see you in the playoffs!

 

[Trapper]

Rielly was the best player from start to finish and the best Leaf tonight.
Strongest game yet.

 

[ULF_55]

Lack of strength and talent down the middle continues to limit the Leafs ability to win these types of games.

Sundin's last season with the Leafs was 2007-2008 and here we are in 2015-2016 without a 1st. line center.

No wonder 2 GM's have been fired.

 

[Mess]

I think that is what you would call a strong compete level when you fire 52 shots at the goalie to handle.

 

[Daisy Jane]

so over/under when we win our first legitimate road win?

ie: we don't break both goalies and have to force the goalie coach almost to come in or the starting goalie doesn't go "i have no confidence in myself"?

2 wins in almost a calendar year.
