Post-Game Talk: 4 Goals because We Can't Cover a Man - Detroit 5-Leafs 4

[DaveT83*]

Gotta say the boys impressed me tonight battling back from 3-1

I honestly expected them to get blown out of water at that point.


However these guys really can't put together a complete 60 minutes.

 

[bunjay]

By no stretch of the imagination did the Leafs deserve 2 points tonight. They were lucky to get one.

 

[Crispy Crust]

I think it's becoming clear the Leafs just aren't very good.

Yup.

 

[StringsAttached]

Loser point, wasn't a total let-down we came back and played hard. Rielly's going to be special, very soon.

 

[ConnorTO]

people want to fire Randy? lol he's the reason Leafs came back 4-3

sigh so many Pejorative Slurs in the world

 

[FriedEgg]

Phil play tonight? 8 mill to score goals cause he doesn't do anything else

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Top line was bad. Defence was up and down but we got 2 goals from them

But we came back from a 3-1 deficit so..bring on the next game.

Feels alright, mane.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Can't expect to win games when your #1 line Kadri-Kessel-JVR has not scored in the last 4 games and are collecting minuses like Phil Mickelson.

When does Bozak come back? 29th, the sooner the better for the #1 line and for us.

 

[musdy]

Gotta stop putting Raymond out in the SO.

Yeah, it's just not working anymore.

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Gotta stop putting Raymond out in the SO.

Yep. 1 goal on his last six attempts.

 

[htpwn]

When you don't show up for half the game, digging yourself into a 2-goal hole, your not going to win many.

The first line has just been pitiful of late.

 

[Al14]

To be a true #1 goalie, you HAVE to make a save in the shootout! Gus schooled Bernier BIG TIME!

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Nice of you to acknowledge yourself.

 

[ryno23]

This D has no clue how to pay in their zone and the forwards are ******* along the wall.

 

[Auzzie19]

Carlyle needs to split up that top line. JVR was absolute **** today, Kessel and Kadri atleast had some jump. The secondary scoring carry's us again.

 

[KPower]

Loser point.

**** yeah!

Bad caching cost the Leafs the game.

If Holland is not on the #1 line by the next game, I will agree with you in the bolded.

 

[Al14]

When you don't show up for half the game, digging yourself into a 2-goal hole, your not going to win many.

The first line has just been pitiful of late.

Yeah, maybe we need to pay them more. Eh?

 

[TML23]

This team still stinks even though we got a point. We got lucky and got those goals because we were facing DET's minor leaguers.

It's a shame we got outshot and outplayed by DET. Either fire Carlyle or make some trades.

 

[Strategy]

Again, no defense in sight

 

[Erdinger]

I think it's becoming clear the Leafs just aren't very good.

First line is ****ing awesome though.

 

[Pi]

I think it's becoming clear the Leafs just aren't very good.

It's been clear for a while now.

The worst player on the ice tonight was Phil Kessel. His absolutely inexistent board play cost the Leafs 2 goals tonight.

If he even acts like he's trying to cut down the angle and get that puck out of the zone, we might win.

So easy to pinch against Kessel and keep cycles going. We have to pay him 8M dollars for that kind of play.

Either you're all in or you're not. I see why Boston traded both Kessel and Seguin. Great individual talents but if you're asking them to be your best players, you're never going to get anywhere.

 

[hfman]

11 regulation wins in 38 games. Unbelievably bad. Seriously?

it's something like 4 regulation wins in their last 25.

'Unbelievably bad' is just scratching the surface.

That's a record for the record books.

At that pace, you're looking at 15 wins for the entire 82-game season.

Like it or not, something's gonna give. Maybe now, maybe later, but something's gonna give.

Fire Carlyle? Big trade? Who knows, but it's coming.

 

[ForzaItalia]

Tanned dude is not happy...

 

[hockeyes]

Not sure what JVR has been doing the last little while. Kessel, while floating a lot, still has a few good skates a game and you at least see him here and there but JVR has seem to have gone completely invisible.
