Post-Game Talk: #67 | Maple Leafs at Flyers | March 14, 2024 | Loss

[mr4tno]

They are in love with vets and vanilla players that play hard but lack even a modicum of skill

[Nizzle]

That’s a long Johnson.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Hey at least the Islanders lost...lol.

 

[freakydallas13]

Yeah the team sucks but at least the locker room is good.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Seriously though? This team misses Seeler and Risto. Inorite? What a time. Just saw a highlight of G scoring a clapper shootout goal. Bad leaders have been the problem.

The bigger issue is we don't have any real offensive talent outside 2 players.

 

[Ironmanrulez]

If you don’t like it, the solution is don’t put yourself in those situations.

What a looser! Be man enough to loose! Try your playoff Team vs the best PP!

Dont understand this hockey culture shit

 

[TheKingPin]

These opponents with this D is just so sad to watch

Hey you don't win by filling the net. You think Toronto is going anywhere in the playoffs. No way

 

[gto64dr]

We started the year with a good goaltending pair and a decent defense. We have neither now.

 

[mr4tno]

How do you read this. Since Johnson is at the bottom I'm guessing that is bad....

 

[BiggE]

That’s a long Johnson.

Who‘s the second guy?

 

[macleish1974]

Who‘s the second guy?

He is imaginary like in mathematics: i

 

[flyersnorth]

I watched the 1st period. It was pretty much boys against men.

Losing Hart and half the defense corps definitely hurts this team. Ersson is wildly inconsistent.

I don't think they will make the playoffs, but it's good for the team to play some meaningful hockey for the first time in four years. For some of the players, it's the first time.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I still do not f***ing get this trade. Do we really have dumbasses think that he was going to replace Walker? Dude was terrible on a terrible team before coming here. Let that sink in.

 

[wankstifier]

Gurianov is a defensive specialist

 

[Canfly]

I know both Seeler and Drysdale are week to week but have there been any updates on their return in the Philly media?

This is very negative and weak energy. Hate to see it.

Buffalo is 3-0 since the trade

On PHLY, Charlie O said that Seeler was on the ice for the team photo, and still appeared to be limping (his words, iirc), and is not yet skating with the team. He's still week-to-week.

For Risto and Drysdale, the sense is that the timing is whether or not they can even come back before the end of the season.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Exudes loser energy. At this point, he's already given up. Yeah, you're losing, but it doesn't mean you can't f***ing try and maybe squeak another goal out of it. But you know, Rocky isn't a very smart guy.

 

[WIP CALLER]

Surprised they didnt send Rocky over to fight him.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Rocky is all about that loser energy. This team is not making the playoffs.

They have been boys against men most nights when they play against a competitive PO level team. They're just not very good or talented. They've tried to win by out hustling their opponents. Now it's time when the season gets serious and that won't work any more. Toss in a couple of injuries and a scandal and this club is dog food. Many of the posters here have known this.
It's too bad that FO has allowed the itself to ignore how bad the roster is. Timonen is correct; more trades for picks should have been done. More opportunities for some players with the Phantoms should have happened. Lots of blown opportunities here by not facing the reality of what this club is.
