Lars Eller on the shutting down the Leafs’ stars [Mod Warning Post #311]

[Nizdizzle]

I would love to hear the initial question, here is my guess of what it was:

"The Leafs are a juggernaut and a really great team and a favorite to win the Cup, how did it feel to play them and lose to them tonight?".

I agree, the question was most likely loaded and this is exactly what they were hoping for.

I’m sure he’s going to end up with more playoff points then Matthews and co.

Yeah but Matthews is gonna end up with more October points so who's the REAL winner?

 

[Breakers]

Bold take.

Where was this Eller before this season.
He always striked me as a reserved hard nosed player, now he is out here talking smack and trying to piss off the entire roster of other teams.

 

[GodEmperor]

A mediocre player, at best, discussing a team that hasn’t won a cup in 50+ years, and hasn’t won a playoff series in 15 years, is thread worthy.

Too much mediocrity in one thread.

*And you posting in it

Come on Lars. You were drafted with a pick that originally belonged to the Leafs. Never forget.

 

[Theodoriph]

Someone should probably check Eller for a concussion. I think he's still stuck in 2008-2009.

 

[The Mentalist]

A 4th liner salty after a loss passing a sarcastic comment? Why is this even a thread? But hey he did score the GWG goal and has a Cup ring. Maybe the Leafs can do the same and then chirp back at Lars. It took Eller more than a decade and stacked team to achieve glory. I'm sure Matthews would it a lesser time frame or one could just hope he does.

If you think someone would say the words "They'll probably be a playoff team" about the Leafs from 2008-2009 you're the one who should be checked for a concussion

If you remind him that the Leafs chose Vesa Toskala instead of him he'll probably score 2 hattricks next time he plays them. I know I would

 

[Il Stugotz]

Good. Trash talk is fun.

 

[Peiskos]

Eller just comes across as a plain old sore loser.

Maybe he's still out of it after Marchand clocked him.

That is Awesome! Really a great quote, from a player who evidently is still concussed from Marchand smashing him a few games ago.

Leafs fans mad Eller shut down Matthews and Tavares most of the game and didn't think it was a big deal lmao

Mad? Matthews scored 2 points, 1 goal and 1 assist against Eller. I guess I am a little mad Matthews did not score 4 goals this game like he is known to do.

 

[Eat The Rich]

Do we seriously need another Lars Eller thread?

 

[DearDiary]

The crying from Leafs fans is hilarious, just because Matthews and Tavares aren't considered the best center duo in the league and the Leafs are just another playoff team. What else was Ellers supposed to say? Agree with the reporters overrating of the Leafs?

News flash, everything Ellers said was correct. Crosby/Malkin are better than Matthews/Tavares and the Leafs aren't cup contenders. Let's see Matthews and Tavares hit 100 points and Leafs win their 1st playoff series since... until then they're a team in the playoff hunt with 2 good C's.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

I don’t see what the big deal is. His comment is pretty tame. People need some thicker skin if this is something to get worked up about

Matthews must be really good if holding him to 2 points and 75 cf% is shutting him down

No kidding.

Eller didn't say he was bad, just a step down from Crosby or Malkin which everyone who knows hockey would agree with.

That happened once. Eller has a 4 goal game too, that doesnt make him known for having 4 goal games. lmao

Combined they're worth about a Sam Gagner
