GDT: Habs @ Leafs Pt II

[Stats01]

oh we lost, cue the hot-takes.

it's a forum and the Leafs looked like crap...you're going to get posts you don't like

 

[Walshy7]

oh we lost, cue the hot-takes.

And too bad they will be week long hot takes.

 

[AustonMcDavid]

No doubt in my mind they are a bottom 5 team without Price.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

How did Matthews miss the open net ?

 

[thewave]

that's because he can't skate..the guy is like a lanky horse out there. In front of the net he's fine but the guy is ****ing slow.

He's not slow. He is stocky and lazy.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Vets on this team are a joke.

-JVR with a stupid penalty; all the set ups from Marner wasted (except one)

- Kadri with a stupid penalty; played the entire game like a moron.

- Hunwick, Carrick and Polak

It would really suck if we just miss the playoffs or make the playoffs and get our ass handed to us.

We are sorely missing a good veteran presence on the blue line.

 

[Pyrophorus]

I was hoping for Freddy to start, Babs and I were both mistaken. Clearly he was tired as was most of the team. If it weren't for the 5 day break I'm sure Bibeau would have played. Boston will have 6 games in hand by the time we play again, not sure where the logic is in this schedule.

Aren't we the ones who will have 6 games in hand?

 

[Pyrophorus]

No doubt in my mind they are a bottom 5 team without Price.

Did we outshoot and outplay them?
And last year they were 30th without him.

 

[NarcoPolo]

How did Matthews miss the open net ?

Price got a piece of it. I think.

 

[hockeyes]

I am not sure who was worse, Andersen, Rielly or the refs. Since the refs don't play for the Leafs I assume they are out.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Tampa, Florida, Ottawa all lost tonight.

 

[NarcoPolo]

No doubt in my mind they are a bottom 5 team without Price.

We're likely a bottom 5 team without Matthews

 

[Nalens Oga]

We are sorely missing a good veteran presence on the blue line.

We need to do a reverse of the JVR trade lol.

Originally acquired him for Schenn, trade him for a 2nd pairing dman. Basically flip Schenn for a more competent dman lol. Lou's gotta work some magic.

 

[hockeyes]

How did Matthews miss the open net ?

It was saved, he didn't miss. If he took an extra half a second and shot high though, it was a goal.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Well, the Leafs tried but in the end Price is too good for them right now. The Habs didn't look very good, but they did have a bunch of AHLers in the lineup (even though when they showed that list of injured players all I saw was meh + galchenyuk). Now then, time to go watch my team lose to the sharks!

 

[shaner8989]

Mtl is a horrid team. I know they are banged up but without price they are a lotto team.

 

[Stats01]

I am not sure who was worse, Andersen, Rielly or the refs. Since the refs don't play for the Leafs I assume they are out.

Andersen for me, he had an off night for sure. Just didn't seem like he was mentally into the game. There were times it really looked like he had no idea where the puck was. Granted the ice was terrible and the puck was bouncing all over the place.

 

[ULF_55]

Would have been nice if they showed up for the game, but they didn't.

Andersen wasn't good.

Defense wasn't good.

Shutdown line wasn't good.

Marner was good.

 

[AustonMcDavid]

We're likely a bottom 5 team without Matthews

Pretty much.

 

[Rayban*]

As ****** as it is losing to them 1st in the atlantic will be the hardest 1st round matchup aside from 2nd wildcard. Ottawa the next 2 Saturdays are huge, Babcock has to find a way to get a win.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I was hoping for Freddy to start, Babs and I were both mistaken. Clearly he was tired as was most of the team. If it weren't for the 5 day break I'm sure Bibeau would have played. Boston will have 6 games in hand by the time we play again, not sure where the logic is in this schedule.

There isn't any.

I hope the Leafs can lobby for fewer back to backs next year. Bring one of the league leaders in them again this year is complete BS.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Difference in the game folks, one team has an elite goalie and the other has merely a good goalie. Sure, some didn't show up tonight, but the biggest difference in the game was Andersen's mediocre play.

 

[PromisedLand]

We are sorely missing a good veteran presence on the blue line.

Also we need a BIG D-man that can play mean and defensive D. I was hoping marincin will grow into one but poor guy got injured

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Well what a game!

You guys have very good young talents!
In couples of years with more experience fot that team they might even be able to beat our "b"team. We were lucky to have couples of NHLers tonight because I dont think it would have been a victory the same with the Icecaps.

Keep it up!

Price saves yer ass. You lose him and you are a bottom third team. Hyman almost got him because of dirtbag Emelin. See you in the playoffs. Be off now.

 

[garce]

Great player. I wish we had him.

We could use exactly that type of veteran player in our forward corps.

Talented player who seems to have problems wherever he goes no expert on the KHL but I understand his tenure was tumultuous. Leafs don't need that kind of short term vet yet.
