Post-Game Talk: We win 6-2...Yay?

[BigBlu]

I predicted 6-3 leafs(you can look that up if u want).

And,, how wrong you were.

 

[TMLife17]

What I hated was the Flyers scoring that short handed goal late in the game to make it 6-2 when an OBVIOUS infraction was MISSED, or LET GO, by the Refs !!!

Liljegren's leg was lifted by the Flyer's player making him fall over. An OBVIOUS trip if there ever was one !!! Final score should have been 6 -1 !!!​

Maybe coaches challenges should be open to missed infractions on goals scored too !!! Why should a finger touch of a puck call back a goal and NOT an OBVIOUS infraction ???

Also, why can opposing players push our Leaf players into the boards without it being called a penalty ???

Maybe he shouldn’t have made a soft af play on the Flyer and buried him instead of going for the flyby stick check that keeps him from being a better player.

I wish Keefe would have been more pragmatic, would make the next game a lot more entertaining

 

[BigBlu]

His answer should be:

Our goal is to compete and win every game. We are gearing up for a tough playoff series and need to establish consistency on our top power play. I see no problem with the top unit on the ice at that stage of the game.

Or....

Bettman wants a Clown League with no respect. We didn't make it this way. We got screwed by it. Now, we're just operating in it. The code is gone. Go complain to the league office. You're lucky we didn't pull Samsonov.

Beside the PP at the end of the game, I really like how the team played. They were quick with the puck, finishes checks.

Keefe got to be more savage than that toward the end. If he came out and said, he wants to see how non PP players perform, thats cool. But why did he needed to explain himself to anyone?

 

[Apex Predator]

Hopefully this wakes up Matthews and Nylander from their two week vacation by getting a goal each.

Weak move from Keefe at the end though.

What did Keefe do missed the game tonight?

 

[81Leafs50]

Great game.

Sammy 13-2 since his break and reset. .914 SAV% - 2.30 GAA (2nd best win percentage in the NHL).

 

[Budz]

Keefe missed an opportunity to galvanize his room further and have their backs.


I would loved to hear a spicy quote about not giving a flying f*** about Philly or their coaches thoughts. Then, finished with it looks like they should be more concerned with their crappy effort and we can’t wait until our rematch in a few days.

 

[therealkoho]

Not playing hockey because the game is out of reach is even lamer.

*sticks tongue out*

Could it be that Dewar had a pretty solid game, got his first point as a Leaf and was being rewarded.

 

[NastyKnies]

Sheldon Keefe suspended 3 games for puting out top PP unit.

Soft answer.

You wanna be the top dog? Act like it.
My dream response:

If any team in the NHL, the top professional league in the WORLD, complains about us piling on or playing our best guys in a game we've already won?

They can go back to junior and suck it.

This is a big boy league - put on your big boy pants and get on with it.

 

[AcerComputer]

I am still confused why Philly tried to score a short-handed goal, after whining about the Leafs using the top guys on the PP. Just dump it in and save your energy for the Bruins.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Scoring goals after the game is out of reach is lame.

NHL rules clearly state you're only allowed to score goals so long as the score is within 2 goals.

I have no idea how Gretz & Mario hit/almost hit 200 points a season

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

I think Keefe being diplomatic is a clever strategy considering we play these guys again in a couple of days. No need to add fuel to the fire.

 

[Squiffy]

9/10 Monty Python points.

 

[Squiffy]

Oh come on guys, I'd be pissed with PP1 out there against us 6-1, lets not jack around. Keefe is right to address it. It'll have to fly.

 

[Squiffy]

That said, we gotta give Sammy and the staff that reset him credit right? Dude was washed and back from dead.

Dewar a sneaky pick up? Good tonight.

 

[ZEBROA]

And,, how wrong you were.

The point made

The stratosphere

[stickty111]

Am I the only who thinks Jarnkrok sucks?

Good game. Knies was sick.

Jankrok is a good player. Our team lacks in 2 way forwards and PKers overall, so he's an important player.

 

[therealkoho]

I think Keefe being diplomatic is a clever strategy considering we play these guys again in a couple of days. No need to add fuel to the fire.

Or have one of their guys all pissed off because your coach is bordering on berserk and chops Matthews across the wrist, thumb, ankle...you get the picture.

 

[therealkoho]

Jankrok is a good player. Our team lacks in 2 way forwards and PKers overall, so he's an important player.

I've always liked Jarnkrok from back in his Predator days, solid 3w, he can chip in and seems to put some pride in his defense. Positive player mostly, always shows up and never seems to have a bad game, at a very good number.

 

[Frostitute]

Yes. He's not a world beater, but by no means does he "suck". He does what he does and he does it for a discount. His play, for that contract, is beyond fair.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Would you be surprised if this was the reason why Keefe made the change?

Short bench, just had a bunch of unit 2 on the ice. But sure, be dramatic about it. They just thumped them and you're still bitching. Who gives a shit?

 

[Gabriel426]

Maybe Keefe should had put TJ, Lilly and Edmundson on the PP at the end.
