Post-Game Talk: Leafs Win - Murray beats Ottawa and still getting paid by them LOL

[Leaf Fans]

I learned a few things
1. Murray is not ready to play. The most awkward goalie I have ever seen. Looks like his ankles cannot hold him. No ability to stay on his feet. The timing goal he was blown over by a breeze. With Sammy hurt (when the frig did that happen), we should be playing Woll.
2. Thank goodness we will only be playing good teams in playoffs. Ottawa looked like the playoff team.
3. Keefe is screwing with the dmen so much we have NOT got 1 pair capable of being ready for playoffs
4. Keefe had Holl on the ice at the end.WTF
5. AM is 80% of his ability. Very little intensity.

Go Leafs Go.....please

Murray was excellent.
Samsonov is waiting for the birth of his child
Holl is often on the ice at the end of games especially close ones and penalty kills

He looked like Josh Jooris in that OT.

How many nhl games you play? Ahh ya thought so. 0. Enjoy your 9-5 making peanuts

 

[Gary Nylund]

Still team Samsonov for starter come playoff time.

Great win. Murray played well.

Two good goalies, what a weird strength to have now as a leaf fan.

P.s Play Schenn more.

A bit too early to say that IMO considering how bad Murray has been last couple of months. He was fantastic last night though so definitely hoping he turns it around now. Obviously would be nice to have some confidence in a second goalie going into the playoffs, but also important that he raises his trade value as I think the plan might be to roll with Sammy and Woll next season.

Only saw the third and OT. Blew a two goal lead to a pretender who had an AHL goalie and it took a skills competition to do it. The same skills competition that triggers some when we lose them. Isles should be a better test on Tuesday. Fighting for a WC spot but returning from a Western road trip. We should win.

When the Sens are purchased, I hope they move to a location with local fans

Are you talking about the location of a new arena? Because it’s been stated many times that a condition of the purpose is that the team remains in Ottawa.

 

[Optimist]

Decent result from Murray, but he still plays way too deep in the net. WAY too deep. One of the shootout goals scored on him would have been a goal even if he stopped it with his pad because his entire pad was behind the goal line. This is his biggest issue from what I see.

 

[AvroArrow]

The sens board post game is funertainment though...

Honestly though, we should have lost by 3 or 4 goals, that was a dog shit effort from almost everybody except Murray. Glad we got the 2 points, but that was one of our worst games of the season. One of the rare times where goaltending stole the game for us, feels good but also feels bad seeing the boys get outplayed like that.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Had a family function to attend, caught bits and pieces of the game.

Good to see Murray steal one for us. He can build on that performance.

 

[Mess]

Leafs got badly outplayed in this one and were fortunate to come away with a SO win.

The only 4 good things about this team are all point per game. You don't need to watch any games to know a points % of >=70% is guaranteed.


But when you do watch.....oh boy. The remaining assemble of 14/18 is "mind boggling"

The Leafs have allowed the 3rd fewest goals against in the league to this point.

What is your explanation of how that happened if the big 4 PPGers are the only good thing?

 

[Torontonian]

4/4 points, from 2/2 horrible performances.

Good on Kerfoot.

Don't think the goalie situation is as set in stone as some believe.

The Leafs against the Hurricanes was not a horrible performance. but okay. Tonight's game wasn't a good one from them but they found a way to get it done.

 

[ACC1224]

13 games left. When can we expect them to start consistently looking playoff ready ?

I don’t know. Last night was a throwback to the “can’t play defence” versions of this team from years ago, which I thought (and still hope) they had mostly put behind them.

 

[Racer88]

Very good question

 

[Eye Test]

13 games left. When can we expect them to start consistently looking playoff ready ?

When can we start to actually build chemistry with our lines and more importantly D pairings?

Very disappointed and worried we aren’t giving enough time to D pairings to gel since the big trades. Also disappointed in keefes handling of our best D in lilly… now his confidence is shot he’s playing bad.

I agree, but let's not take away three challenges:

1. Back to back games
2. Injuries
3. Ottawa has a lot of fire power. Their defense is not great, but they can score.

Jooris is your cousin right ? I respect it.

 

[TMLeafer]

They barely showed up and still won. Good teams find a way to win!

 

[DueDiligence]

Murray was excellent.
Samsonov is waiting for the birth of his child
Holl is often on the ice at the end of games especially close ones and penalty kills

Murray was good not excellent. Senators had a lot of low quality shots mixed in with a few high quality chances.
Samsonov should be the main guy for the rest of the season.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Who got the belt? I’m assuming Murray or Jarnkrok

 

[DueDiligence]

I agree, but let's not take away three challenges:

Ottawa's AHL goalies are not ready for the NHL.

 

[X66]

Jarnkrok in the top 6 has been money.

 

[Sypher04]

Jarnkrok in the top 6 has been money.

I know I said this earlier in the year when he was clicking with Marner and Tavares, we should be nurturing his potential to be a top 6 mainstay. You cannot argue with the price for the next 3 years if he proves capable of sticking around there. That’s a huge a win for a cap team

Was reading the Sens thread and there are some pretty odd takes on people selling their tickets to Leaf fans.
Reminds me of the pre-tank days when some people believed ticket holders should boycott the games.

The loudest ones always seem to be the ones with no stake in the game.
