The score was 3- doughnut at evens. It’s pretty clear the Leafs, and imo their top guys, struggled to compete at 5 on 5.

Struggled to score on Sorokin 5 on 5, yes. Isles scored 3 goals on Samsonov with both less overall chances and less dangerous chances 5v5.

The Leafs are such pretenders.

Not pretenders, but they honestly have not looked like a team who can go anywhere this year.

Islanders outplayed the Maple Leafs at even-strength. Toronto needed extra men to score.

Their first goal was scored even strength? They scored 1 goal on the PP.

 

[miscs75]

Leafs suffering from All-star championship hangover?

Considering Barzal was playing on the winning team, I think it was more of the lack of coaching from Justin Bieber.

 

[Fatass]

Nobody said anyone didn't show up, but I'll put it out there, Tuzzi should have stayed home.

Nylander was a dash 2. Imo he wasn’t hard enough on pucks at evens.

Nylander was a dash 2. Imo he wasn’t hard enough on pucks at evens.

It doesn’t look like many Leafs showed up tonight.

 

[Play]

Shades of Patrick Kane! Everyone panicking on the ice, but Lafrenière stays calm and holds the puck with poise like a vet, this was definitely worthy of posting for me because it’s been a long time coming for this kid




Sequence starts at 2:22

Yea, and that ain't new.

 

[boredmale]

I was at a bar watching the game, but did the announcers fawn all over Engvall how it's only fitting he scores the game winner coming back to Toronto for the first time?

 

[Kshahdoo]

Doesn't Lafferriere play for the Kings?

 

[Play]

Doesn't Lafferriere play for the Kings?

Correct

 

[Three On Zero]

Eh, was ok

 

[stampedingviking]

Did anyone say it means a lot? It doesn't mean a little which you claim was your intended use.

It generally does.

Maybe not in your head, though.

"shades of patrick kane"?

it's a nice deceptive release but take it easy bro

The way he held the puck and had patience with it, why can’t we hype young players up? It was a great goal

 

[22FUTON9]

More like Georgiev and Rantanen forgetting how to hockey

 

[LemonSauceD]

Yeah I’m surprised he didn’t do his generational between the legs. His like only go to move.

But you can just tell he wanted to do a between the legs that whole sequence and probably wasn’t as happy with the goal as he would’ve been had he been able to pull off that AI generated move BETWEEN THE LEGS

 

[PaulD]

Not pretenders, but they honestly have not looked like a team who can go anywhere this year.

Yea. Have seen better leaf teams than this one and they couldn't "go anywhere"

Alas, today's article .....

I don't think you know what a bit means.

What? You're serious?

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

No, I don't think you know what a bit means is what I'm saying. You constantly use words out of their intended meanings and then make up their intended meanings to you.

a fair amount.
noun: a bit
"there's a bit to talk about there"

Cambridge Dictionary:

a slight but not serious amount or type of something

Merriam-Webster:

to some extent : a little, somewhat

Oxford Dictionary:

small amount​

Collins:

A bit of something is a small part or section of it.

 

[Breakers]

Tavares looked great in the final 5 minutes

Haven’t seen that level of compete in months.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

So tired of Cuthbert and Simpson's constant Toronto babying.
"Islanders survive Leafs onslaught"

The Leafs lost guys. They never led.

They never lose.

But sometimes they don't win...

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

The Leafs played better 5 on 5.

That explains why they beat them 1 to 3 at equal strenght...
