Post-Game Talk: Another super entertaining game!

[Reddwit]

Larkin scored the 3rd goal not Tatar, Not sure why Tatar is credited for the 3rd goal it was Larkin that banged that one home not Tatar.

The official scorer confused the 71 with 21. It'll be changed.

 

[Panic at the Back]

Yeah it must be a mistake, it'll be corrected. Tatar was in the high slot when that goal was scored. They must have mixed up 21 & 71

That's logical.

 

[Shaman464]

He doesn't have to weasel his way, he has 1 more year on his contract.

With how screwed up this team is, it is weaseling. He any other GM that was this incompetent would have been axed.

What's the ETA on Green? This team misses him a lot

I think he's hoping to be back by the San Jose game next Saturday. At least that's his plan. Wonder when Abdelkader and Helm are due back thought that they were pretty close here.

Was with Jeff Riger on 97.1 (iirc)

Glad my car was parked during that interview, I was steamed

Ah ok, thanks. I was also sitting in my parked car listening to it. Remember just being awestruck at how Holland was sticking to that crap narrative.

Agreed, It's an honest mistake 71 can look like 21 from that distance.

Jensen was pretty brutal. I feel like I've seen enough.

If Blashill doesn't put Sproul back in over Jensen, There's going to be some pretty unhappy fans here. The guy is just brutal out there.

Other GMs don't have the resume and relationship with the owner Ken Holland has.

 

[NervousPerson]

Nice to see them battle back. Smith was soooo bad tonight. Mantha was excellent obviously. Coreau fell apart a bit (not entirely his fault). A time out before the 4th Leafs goal would've been helpful. Blashill is making bad decisions. Lines suck.

Officially changed and Tats got his well deserved assist.

 

[Thread The Needle]

He's such a smug little drip too. Someone in this league will probably wise him up before too long.

lol I don't think he's smug or anything like that. You're just upset he scored on us in OT. The kid literally just plays the game, not much else.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

Mantha's confidence was soaring by the end. I thought for sure he was going to finish it in OT.

If he continues this development as a player it'll be huge and a good piece as the big body scoring winger. If Larkin can develop into a top tier 2nd line center, that's two pieces. Just need to find the biggest pieces now: #1 center and defenceman. Maybe this draft can land us one of them and then suddenly in a few years the road to recovery has a much more clear path.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Jensen was pretty brutal. I feel like I've seen enough.

It's not one particular player. Look at the goal where we had five Wings standing around Coreau in a circle.

It's embarrassing.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yup the 3rd goal has been changed to Larkin with the assists going to Tatar and Zetterberg as it should be.

His resume and 5 dollars will buy you a coffee at Starbucks. His last almost decade has been of not being able to right the ship. Making wrong moves at every chance he got, and failing miserably.

Goal in question

Totally agree with this, Unfortunately we're stuck with Holland for at least another season. Then we will see what happens from there it will be in Holland's court then.

Seems like keeping Mantha was the right move.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Goal in question

Yeah that's truly pathetic way to just stand around and let them score like that, Unbelievable.

 

[Laser Rayzor]

Yeah I had a chuckle at that one, kinda reminded me of that picture of the Buffalo(?) defense with 3 players in a straight line.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Seems like keeping Mantha was the right move.

After the game he had on national TV, One would have to assume that there will be a lot of GMs taking notice of him now. Especially if he keeps this up for the rest of the year now.

Best player on the ice tonight. He's really feeling it right now and he's built to be a great NHLer.

 

[Wood Stick]

I'm pissed Jared Coreau got this start, win or lose today. That's a shot at Petr Mrazek who has been really good for four years for a goalie with 3 games experience with like .905%. Jared Coreau was pretty bad tonight. Made one big stop in overtime, that's about it.

 

[SoupNazi]

What? Not surprised. #JustPierreThings

I find a good general rule is to ignore everything Pierre says.

 

[AppsSyl]

Leafs fan coming in peace. Just wanted to say you guys have a gem in Mantha. He is a BEAST. With him and Larkin moving forward you guys have two great core pieces moving forward.
