Post-Game Talk: Bob Lays a Stinker as Team Hits as Many Posts as There Are Jersey Hoodrats per Square Inch

TOR choke away a 3-1 lead to NYI,
lose 4-3 in OT

TOR choke away a 3-0 lead to COL,
lose 5-3 in regulation

TB and DET both win, leaving the door wide open for 3rd.

Also Bjugstad got a hatter tonight.
Maybe we should kick tires on him, up to 9 goals and 26pts in 41 games.

big nick wouldve saved us tonight, lundell on a 2 goal pace season

That big 4 is too legit to break up

they just got out goalied by Georgiev, but won the deserve o win meter

The odds of ENG are lower with 6-on-4 than 6-on-5. That’s my point. If you’re happy to take the risk when it’s more likely to suffer an ENG, then you should be even happier when the risk goes down. Honestly, I see this all the time and their logic doesn’t make sense.

nope. Icing changes the dynamics,

Oh f*** off. It's not just one poster but multiple every year. NJ just sucks ass naturally.

Lol chill bro, dude came here in peace

Even if it's multiple, still doesn't represent an entire fanbase, that goes for any fanbase really.

Bob was outplayed badly and we lost. He had a terrible game. That’s ultimately what cost us.

Oh well. On to the next one

not his best i agree, but the offense only getting one goal against NJ was concerning, theyre not some defensive juggernaut but seem to beat us at our own game.

Crazy we beat them with some of our guys out and then they return the favor with their guys out.

4 posts. Can't really blame the offense too honestly.

Games like these happen. But the 3rd goal was super deflating. Super soft goals usually are

I'm always wary of long winning streaks because it feels like once they end, they're followed by this strange hangover and meh play.
We're in a pretty good position, just don’t go on a losing streak now.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Not worried…

We played shitty the first 10, Bob gave them two goals and the first one was off a weird deflection…

They blocked a ton of shots, we missed a billion times, we hit the post a trillion more !

Just couldn’t get the puck-luck going !!

On to the next one…

Down 2 goals with 4min and change to go… yeah, that’s the part that changes the dynamics even more. Unreal.

I don’t feel the kumbaya when opposing team fans come do the “there there” move.

Unfortunate result, just start a new win streak. It’s easy

Maurice gets to pack his speedo instead of the parka.

Holy shit I got my liking back!

Concern trolls are, frankly, even more pathetic than obnoxious trolls.


Anyway, not terribly upset with that loss. Tight game vs the team's kryptonite (backup goaltender) and you get a fluke own-goal plus a stinker scored by a stinker (Haula). My only comment is that I think Kulikov could use a game in the press box and I'd like to see Mahura get a shot.

This probably has a better chance of happening now that the streak is over.

Definitely Nogoalov needs to watch from on high. He’s either horrible or eh! Also, give someone Elise a chance other than Lockwood. He is okay, but he is not really that great so try someone els, like Mackie On the 3rd and put Lomberg on the 4th.

the winstreak died for your sins to be repaid

Kulikov “banged up”

AKA Maurice pushed him down a flight of stairs

he wants that back I'm sure and I don't want to excuse it but watch the replay and monty's response - he knew he made that difficult for his goalie. he threw his head back and immediately skated over to bob.

deflating for sure at that point but the team did a good job continuing to push after that and easily could have come back with a bounce or two.

I can't believe people are blaming bob, though. he had no chance on either of the first two. I don't even see how you can argue that.

I think the blame Bob theme comes from his tendencies over time that everyone has observed. He’s a top paid goalie, but:
- Goals in the first 5 shots.
- Softie at some point in the game.
- Turnover from playing the puck behind the net.

Of course, he makes up for it by making miraculous saves routinely. And he brought it in the playoffs without the problems I mentioned.

So even if he wasn’t to blame yesterday or for any given game, I take the complaining as a general “oh no not again” sentiment. So I get it.

My personal opinion is, if I’m going to go on the opposing team’s board, I’ll only do it after my team lost to say good game and compliment their club in some way.

But if my team won and the opposition board is clearly in a pissy mood about it (as I am after losses) I’d just stay away.

You sure it wasn’t Bob that pushed him?

I get it, especially after a loss.

But he might have just been lurking, saw a few devils fans talking shit and felt the need to try and be sportsmanlike.

Of course, if I'm lurking and see a certain somebody shitpost on the leafs board, then I'm probably let it slide...
