Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 3-1

[mrJT]

played decent enough i guess.

it's still gonna take a miracle to beat Boston.

 

[hamzarocks]

Our defense is ass and that is known. Can possibly be fixed by trading nylander. We also have crappy offense led by only 2 players in Marner and JT, how do we fix that? This team needs to re-tool come the offseason.

 

[Legendary]

They stopped caring after the first.

 

[Loosie]

are the Habs finished?

If Columbus wins tomorrow they are.

 

[Pi]

Lack of scoring is a bit worrying but I don't know how anyone can say lack of effort.

They lost because of a bad turnover by Frederik Gauthier when he was gassed. He likely isn't even on the ice during that time in the playoffs or if Kadri is in this game.

This game just makes me want to beat Boston really bad. This team can go the distance against Tampa.

Good game overall, there is a gap between these teams. Bad mistake cost the Leafs though, otherwise it could’ve turned out better for them. Onto the Habs.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

No Maxine Nightingale in the last home game of the regular season.

 

[Leaf4Life]

Why is Rosen on the ice with the goalie pulled?

 

[Sypher04]

Another crap effort

What the hell did you watch? Effort was not even remotely a problem tonight. God you people are insufferable

 

[justafan22]

are the Habs finished?

If Carolina holds on tonight and CBJ win tomorrow, yes.

They have the tiebreaker with Carolina

 

[TimeZone]

Are you specifically looking for posts to be a naysayer or what?

No, I'm saying your post was poorly worded if you weren't trying to imply you think we're going to beat Boston.

It's quite simply, really.

 

[Rainney]

hope babcock turns it around come playoff time, kid is really struggling

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Leafs with 6 goals in their last 4 games.

 

[Maple Leaf]

I have given up. See you boys in October.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Game was decent, wish the Leafs had pushed harder on offense, got the sense they were happy keeping things tied on most shifts. Going to be hard to beat Tampa with 1 goal.

 

[Ruggle]

Why is Rosen on the ice with the goalie pulled?

And hyman, marleau etc

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

score some f***ing goals

 

[6ix]

Losers lose!

 

[MSZ]

How was that a crap effort?

It wasn't a crap effort. But for third year in a row they are having troubles scoring in these tight checking playoff environment games.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

If they can bring this performance to the playoffs they’ll have a chance to take down Boston. They looked good this game.

If the coaching staff can throw together a half-competent PP, Leafs could be defending a lead at the end of this game.

 

[Pi]

Just not good enough, they have a better team.

Newsflash. They have a better team than everyone in the league lol. That's why they won the President's trophy before most of the teams even made the playoffs.

 

[CelticDruid]

The Nothing Burger Cup is taking place in Montreal on Saturday.

Please rest players.

 

[Stamkos4life]

Man nylander is so afraid of getting hit!

Embarrassing play when he iced it to avoid getting checked.

Isn't he supposed to be good at these zone entries?

 

[7even]

Why is Rosen on the ice with the goalie pulled?

I mean he's going to be playing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs pretty soon, might as well put some pressure on him.

No, I'm saying your post was poorly worded if you weren't trying to imply you think we're going to beat Boston.

It's quite simply, really.

Me saying it’s time for them to win a series doesn’t imply any prediction. It does perhaps imply an expectation which is a godamn slippery slope.

 

[jrgtml67]

Honestly we play like that against Boston and it'll be a great series. Sucks a knuckle off Rosen killed it..but AGAIN Babcock pulls goalie when we don't have full possession I hope he figures this out.

Matty was great, Marner was fire...and funnily one cross up on the PP was only reason it's not going to OT.
