Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 2-1 (SO)

[Suntouchable13]

None of those shootout attempts were even close. What the hell are they doing?

 

[Gallagbi]

Tough to be upset. Played well enough to win but ran in to a hot goalie.

Good news is Fred fought his way to a decent performance - stacked pads and all. Still looks uncomfortable, but it's how he pulls himself out of slumps

 

[definedMF]

Thier goalie won it for them.

Yeah Rittich just about stone walled us.

...but the shoot out attempts left a lot to be desired.

 

[BayStBullies]

Lost in the gimmick mode, not much to say.
They were the better team, if you exclude goalies. Unfortunately, you can't.

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels frustrating man

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Panthers win. We still may miss the playoffs

 

[likecheese]

Thanks Uncle Gary, we just wuv shootouts.
I can't even believe this moronic crap is still going on.
Bush league.

 

[Maplebeasts]

There is no way Marner should be in the shootout over Nylander. Nylander's hands are just as good and he has a dangerous shot to mix it up.

 

[stickty111]

Happy with the point. Should have got a better result. Andersen was good but got outdueled. It happens.

 

[The Beyonder]

Literally lost to goalie. Johnsson robbed, Matthews robbed, Tavares robbed, kapanen robbed; all sure goals. Deserved better results tonight.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Another hot goalie steals a game from our Leafs! What else is new?

What are you talking about? the leafs have been on a tear offensively under Keefe

 

[Ryan Michaels]

We’re paying guys 10 millions bucks and they can’t even score on a breakaway... ****ing pathetic.

 

[Big Cactus]

Sometimes you play hockey and get big dick Daved. Honestly we played great and should have won the game. We’ll take the L point. Chicago is one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Let’s score 7 on Saturday.

 

[Palio]

Great game by the leafs. Simply ran into a hot goalie.

side note: I detest shootouts

 

[Gallagbi]

None of those shootout attempts were even close. What the hell are they doing?

Rittich was solid on the attempts. They had him moving and he still stayed on the puck.

Also hurts when your goalie struggles like Fred does in the SO.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Why did Keefe break up our top two lines to promote Johnsson? They were on fire. They got 0 goals at 5v5 so it's safe to say it wasn't a beneficial change

 

[The Beyonder]

We’re paying guys 10 millions bucks and they can’t even score on a breakaway... ****ing pathetic.

Dude... have you seen those saves tonight? Were you watching the game?

 

[1specter]

Did Matthews aggravate something? He was really labouring around in OT and his skating wasn't as explosive as usual. Still dominated and put up 10 shots though.

 

[TheKule]

Matthews was dope!

Not gonna kick sand at Calgary; the goalie is part of the team. Rittich was the best player on the ice.

 

[LastOne2100]

OK - we've watched a goaltender steal a game.

Can we watch our goalies steal one or two now please?

 

[The Man with a Plan]

With all the skill we have.. spezza starts the SO? Gtfo

f*** you Tkachuk. You shouldnt have been playing.. should have been suspended. The league always finds a way to f*** toronto over.

Hope Rittich has a hard time passing that horseshoe thats jammed firmly up his ass.

 

[Diver3368]

Hey your defence was good. Freddy was good. There goalie was genius. The way he robbed Matthews. Wow just wow!

 

[stickty111]

Panthers win. We still may miss the playoffs

Panthers have a higher chance to miss the playoffs then we do.

 

[super6646]

Calgary deserved 0 pts. That was embarrassing considering how crippled the leafs defense is.

Gg guys. Rittich won’t be the biggest secret of the league much longer.

 

[Mitch Matthews]

For the life of me i will never understand the logic behind putting Tavares on the ice in OT, smh

 

[Gallagbi]

Panthers win. We still may miss the playoffs

Maybe but it won't happen if we play the rest of the year like we did tonight
