Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose ... On the brink of elimination

[Hogan86]

Poor Dermott is really being exposed this series. And Gardiner has got to find a way to get pucks through to the net. Frustrating night all around.

 

[Magic Man]

Nylander and Matthews, you guys just lost some money on your next contracts.

 

[glue]

Ultimately Bruins have been better and deserve this series lead and ,anything short of a miracle, and this series is basically over at this point. Hopefully leafs will learn from this experience and be better next year

We’re close

Need 4 dman thou. Worst backend in hockey

 

[Revolt]

Sometimes it’s so infuriating to be a Toronto sports fan. (In reference to the big 3 sports).

f*** man.

 

[ECanuck]

****ing I cannot wait until Chara is out of the league.

Can't stand him.

It's not Chara that's making our D make terrible decisions.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

PISS. POOR. EFFORT.

Where was Matthews? Nylander? Freddie shitty first goal.

No heart at all.

 

[Crispy Crust]

Do the Leafs get playoff participation ribbons?

 

[kk87]

Dominant performance and once again, nothing goes our way at key moments. Really ****ing dumb

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Chip and chase
If we don't lose the puck battle:
To the point
Shot gets blocked. Back the other way
Rinse and repeat.

Hardly any dangerous scoring chances. Boston keeping everything to the outside.

 

[IPS]

Do we complete the comeback we never completed in 2013!?!?!

It's destiny boys!

 

[BTP]

Just win game 5.

 

[stickty111]

All UFAs must walk. Although, if Bozak wants to take 3 per I'd take him back. But that's about it.

How about we let him go as well?

 

[Sittler 27]

Zaitsev, geez

 

[Legendary]

Rielly and Gardiner are not corner stone players. The rest aren't even AHL quality

 

[Jozay]

hate to say it, but 34 is letting us down in a major way, ( hes my favorite player).

I think he's playing with one shoulder right now.

 

[TMLeafer]

Gutless 3rd period. Didn't finish the chances in the 2nd period. Got burned by a totally inept defense. Nylander, Brown and JVR were missing. Crowd was dead. Their goalie made big saves. Total lack of urgency. Marner was the only positive tonight.

Matthews was bad today, but I'm ready for the mind numbing stupid hot takes.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Cherry...

Polak and Z are not NHL D (Pretty much what he said)

I have said much the same!

Watch Lou give Polak another 1 year contract

 

[Duffman955]

Bunch of heartless figure skaters

 

[hamzarocks]

hope we make a big trade this offseason. a 105 point season looks so disappointing right now. Get brown off this team, upgrade the backend. I give Babcock another 2 seasons, if he can't win a playoff round in 2 years, it will be time for a new coach. I'm so disappointed. I would have rather gotten swept by the bolts then lose to the bruins.

 

[Advanced stats]

You could see it in the first 5 minutes that the Defense were told too pinch.

It helped a lot all game...
But it burnt them twice.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Hello darkness my old friend...

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Rask is getting way too much love. Super easy night for him. Pittsburgh will win the East again.

Rask doesn't deserve any love for that. That may have been the easiest night of his career. The defense in front of him was outstanding.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Exact same poor defensive plays on the 2 on 1s cost both goals. We just haven't been able to elevate our game. Boston deserves a 3-1 lead.

 

[RASHBEEP]

This series has just solidified my thoughts that marner is our best forward.
