Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-3

[keonsbitterness]

They actually confirmed the goal, so they must have had a pretty definitive camera shot at crossbar level.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Now say it louder for those in the back! @The Apologist @Leaf Fans @kb

It is the same for those at the front.

 

[ULF_55]

pause the replay and it’s easy to see why it wasn’t overturned.

This is looking down and it looks like only the blade is above, but you can see all of the blade from behind and below.

I don't really care, but I don't believe this is conclusive because you are looking down.

 

[mikeyz]

It is the same for those at the front.

Except that those in the front already get it.

 

[Buds17]

I'd argue the most attainable points were game 2 at home where Samsonov is damn near invincible

Fair point about Samsonov's success at home. I guess I don't have too much of a problem with at least splitting a home and home series (although losing in OT would have been much better).

LOl. everyone gets it. The Leafs are 33-14-8 4th place in the NHL (5th if you go by points percentage) those at the front know this as well as those at the back. I sit at the front BTW.

I am guessing you didn't read Hellcats post.

Poor guess. I found it to be an interesting spin.

 

[mikeyz]

Poor guess. I found it to be an accurate spin.

Fixed it for you.

Take away the month of November and they're a middle of the pack team at best.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Changed it to make it appear that you agree with me just to spite you.

Take away the month of November and they're a middle of the pack team at best.

Take away the losses and they are undefeated and in first place. However, we can't actually take away anything. When we look at the season , the Leafs are 33-14-8 4th place in the NHL (5th if you go by points percentage)

I'd rather see if Sammy can get going a bit more on the road.

Yeah. 5th place with 1 amazing month and 3 average at best months thus far. If you can't see the problem with that and come to realize that their current position in the standings is fool's gold then I really don't know what to tell you.

You don't have to tell me anything. I just watch the games. I don't need the what if and the eliminations of entire months or any of that BS. I will enjoy the games-the more games, the better.

Fair enough. At least that's a start. Lol.

There's merit to that idea as well. Samsonov and Murray have certainly posted some interesting numbers in regard to home/away splits.

There’s no question the blade was above the crossbar.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

I made a promise not to watch any games until April. It has been fantastic. Some nights I forget the team is even playing.

This organization is just a cog in the wheel of the NHL. A piggy bank. We are the nice guys that apologize to the refs and the league.

I probably won't return until the league completely restructures the officiating. There is a fine line between sports and 'sports entertainment'.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It was absolutely the right call to play Woll last night. If any goalie can’t handle the worst team in the league on a back to back they shouldn’t be in the league. Team shows up, Woll gets an easy win and it’s a non issue.

So then based on what you just said then Woll shouldn't be in the league. You said if any goalie can't handle the worst team in the league on a back to back they shouldn't be in the league.

Well Woll didn't handle it, so based on your own logic he shouldn't be in the league.

That's probably not true what is true is that playing him on Hockey night in Canada when they didn't have to was wrong call, we know that because it didn't work.

That's what makes a right call, the right call

Right calls work, wrong calls don't

Yeah. 5th place with 1 amazing month and 3 average at best months thus far. If you can't see the problem with that and come to realize that their current position in the standings is fool's gold then I really don't know what to tell you.

I think maybe you should look at all teams.

Teams have good months, then bad or average months(except Bos).

Carolina had a huge month and then a .500 month. Then a few okay months.

All the top teams are pretty much the same

 

[Dekes For Days]

I am guessing you didn't read Hellcats post.

Hellcat's post was wrong, and was already disproven.

Take away the month of November and they're a middle of the pack team at best.

Leafs are 6th in the league sine Dec 1.

Yeah. 5th place with 1 amazing month and 3 average at best months thus far.

8-3-1 and 8-4-2 are not "average at best" records.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Ahhhh so is this the excuse that the Kool-Aid drinkers are going to be using when we lose in the first round again?

come on man that high stick on kampf game 6 was BS and you know that. and then game 7 that “pick” happens every game

not saying its a conspiracy against the leafs its just a pro-USA team conspiracy

That’s an interesting interpretation of my post.

How can our 5th best record be determined by 1 month only? I don't care for the reg season much but there us no way we can be the 12th to 18th team if we take out November

But the puck was above the crossbar and so the shaft also had to be above the crossbar it doesn't work any other way.

The puck was not above the crossbar.

 

[Racer88]

If the Leafs hadn’t but themselves in this position against the last place tanking team in the entire league we wouldn’t even be talking about this goal.
that’s the real crime
