Post-Game Talk: Wings 5 Leafs 4 OT

[Stephen]

Well if it really was meaningless, why blame Brodie for anything maybe he shared your viewpoint.

NHL games are never truly meaningless, especially at home. They may have little or no impact on standings, maybe a team or individual isn't feeling it once in a while in a long season, but competitors should inherently compete when there's the chance to compete. It's also a tough take to have that nihilistic approach to games when you think of all the paying audiences in the stands, all the people that made your game a big part of their routine. There's always something to play for, tune up in preparation for the playoffs.

I'm okay with this if it keeps Pittsburgh out of the playoffs.

Dubas can eat a ****.

Dubas Fans™ are all butthurt that Pittsburg lost ground tonight. Nothing more.

 

[ACC1224]

It was a good game to be at even though we lost. A depressing result but many exciting moments

That would have been a great game live.

Pens down 4-3 and I think they will tie it up.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Pittsburgh in some trouble after tonight

I'd rather the Red Wings make the playoffs 5 times than the Penguins make it once.

Sammy was horrible but then became great. Won’t blame him on the OT goal.
TJ just made dumb mistakes that he never made till this season.
Hope McCabe and McMann will be ready by playoffs.

 

[Kiwi]

Started poorly
Came on as the game progressed
Ended up playing pretty well

You can see the boys going through the motions as they wait for the playoffs to start but it would be nice to see the goaltending start solidifying again and some of our better more experienced defenseman knuckle down

I played hockey, football, and soccer. I was a hockey coach for years.

I played and coached every game to win them. I didn't want just excitement, or to simply entertain everyone. I wanted to WIN.

I expect the teams I cheer for to do the same. I wouldn't be excited by that loss at SBA tonight, even if other fans felt they were excited and entertained.

If you're going to keep score, make sure you have the higher total score.

Winning is never boring.

You're responding to a guy that thinks playoffs don't matter. Stop wasting your time.

Well we were speaking about the fans in the SBA. But if you think that was a bad game for them, what would you call a 7 1 loss?

Pens down 4-3 and I think they will tie it up.

Karlsson just effed up and put bruins on the PP again LOL

Still think the Pens tie it. Bettman has his hand on the phone for a late PP.

 

[ACC1224]

Domi takes way too many penalties.
Fingers crossed he doesn’t cost them a playoff game.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

5-3 Boston.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

This place is really dead without the Dubas fans.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

This place is really dead without the Dubas fans.

Oh no!

Anyway

 

[A1LeafNation]

Matthews scores early next game...pull him for rest of game.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Domi takes way too many penalties.
Fingers crossed he doesn’t cost them a playoff game.

and if he does we'll just trade him for Tyson Barrie.

wait...

 

[Dayjobdave]

i was really hoping Auston would get the 70th tonight and we could put that to rest and the team would focus on getting ready for the playoffs.

Can't get too upset about 69 though.

 

[Mitch nylander]

i'd rather lyubushkin's dumb passes vs brodie's inability to play hockey

5 million dollars right there....

Samsonov just has an uncanny ability to be dogcrap at the worst times

Looks like matthews will play another game

They both equally suck. Lyubushkin can barely move. Brodie is just lost positionally.

I'd honestly go off the board and go Giordano. At least Giordano puts his heart and soul. Yea he's slow, but to be fair Lyubushkin might be just as slow, and Brodie has completely lost his awareness.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

It's a bad day to be Pittsburgh (and any Leafs fan hoping for a stellar defensive effort in the playoffs)

 

[Leaf Fans]

Academy award winning dive by Debrincat
Larkin celebrating like he won the Stanley Cup

Or staved off elimination.

g

gave up 5 tonight to Syracuse

Still, he got a win.

 

[34]

The Red Wings celebrated that OT win like they just won the Cup. That was wild.
