Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 3-2

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

aj couldn't get the pass through to matthews at the end there. i know someone who would have

Thats all I could think in that moment. Nylander 100% makes that pass.

 

[Gabriel426]

It was a tough game and it could have gone both ways, but why the F was Willie sitting on the bench? Come on Babs, I know you hate him but a W is more important, we are not asking to sell your soul for money.

 

[BayStBullies]

Unfortunate outcome after numerous posts. Decent effort. Not much else to say.

Time to drop Kappy and give that second line some life.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Also games against St Louis are just an automatic loss these days. Didn't have a good vibe going into this one.

 

[Gallagbi]

Everyone thinking it, I'm just saying it.

I can say I didn't think once about the Saturday game tonight.

 

[hamzarocks]

Change the lines. Kapanen is not working with Tavares. Drop marner and Kap to the third line for a game with kerfoot and prop up mik and Moore. Send a message to marner t wake him up. This was a really poor game by him. Overall he has had moments of brilliance in the year but he has been to sloppy with the puck and his center looks braindead. Either switch the 3rd winger of change both sets of wingers and see how things go. Babcock needs to give the top unit 90 seconds on the pp or split it back to two units.

 

[thewave]

Kappy kinda sucks this year, why?

 

[IPS]

Nylander should have been out there with the net empty, even if it's just to reward him for being the best player in the game. Babcock weirdly has it out for him

By far our best player of the game (not even remotely close) and we give him 16 minutes of ice time.

This BS is sickening.

 

[BTP]

their goalie was better. we deserved a better fate. still pissed.

moving on ..

 

[Critical13]

Pulling Nylander off for Marner/Johnsson is just bad coaching.

No one on our team has been more dangerous than Nylander. He has been so consistent this season.

That's some awful coaching. I feel myself losing faith in Babcock once again.

 

[stickty111]

Dubas is the genius who decided to keep Babs

Reports say Dubas wanted him fired. Shanahan intervened.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Andersen has been vintage October Andersen.

Marner and Tavares pt/game is fine but they've failed to really be noticeable for any stretches....Kapanen is an odd fit there. Moore should be there.

Love Nylander so far this season.

Rielly reverting back to old habits with this stretch pass BS

Just observation, I had us losing this game a lot worse, all things considered, we did okay.

 

[PromisedLand]

Johnsson over Nylander is absolutely STUPID by babcock

Also; Tavares has been supremely pathetic. marner needs to show the F up more. 10+ AAV players having crappy-ass games is NOT acceptable

Rielly needs to get his head out of his ass making dumbass plays

here is 2 or at least a point thrown away in the trash. that's 2 points (1 from montreal game and 1 tonight) in the gutter. 2 points that can mean playoffs or not; or home-ice or not

really pathetic.

P.S. Freddy stop giving soft ass goals ffs

 

[Canadian Finn]

We played well, that's more important than the result in October. The issue I have is with Marner. He wants the big contract, he better show up every night.

nah, it's ok....

you are not supposed to have expectations quite yet.....

we are paying for future potential....

 

[A1LeafNation]

I sure wasn't.

Now take a look at your post and take a look at mine. Count the likes.

Peace!

 

[Superstar]

overall, pretty good game.

Same guys still need to clock in though.

Get Kap off the Tavares line and put Moore there.

Yep, or Mikheyev...players a heavier game, almost as fast and doesn't have tunnel vision.

 

[Ratboy]

Needed a save tonight but freddy will pick his play up in November. That seems to be what happens.

He's good positionally but kinda slow so his desperation saves suffer as a result.

 

[Havoc]

AJ has been doing good work in front of the net this season. Willy homers still comical.

So what?

Nylander offers more than just being a screen.

 

[KobeBean143]

Please explain why the best player in the game was on the bench for the last minute and 30

Some egotistical asshole

 

[kk87]

We were the better team and deserved to win this one. Pretty frustrating not picking up any points after a bounce back performance like this

 

[Trapper]

Please explain why the best player in the game was on the bench for the last minute and 30

Babcock isn’t going to change so who is responsible for that?

 

[Stephen]

You know Marner is going to have a terrible game when he gets offensive chances and it looks like he wants to put the puck away as gently as possible. That London Knight Superstar always seems to rear his ugly head early in the season.

Tavares looks Spezza slow out there. How heavy can a letter be?

 

[hullsy47]

No Nylander for the last 2 minutes .... Idiocy, just pure stupidity.

The guy was on fire all night and the arrogant a-hole behind the bench won't put him out there

Goaltending wins cups freddy let in 2 softies
Where the hell was nylander in the last 2 minutes

 

[WillNy29]

where was nylander on the empty net?

 

[Koolboss]

Why the hell did Babs put Marner out instead of Nylander?

He's such a biased and stubborn coach.

Nylander will thrive once Babcock chases him out of town.

Marner didn't complete ONE pass to a Leaf tonight. Many crisp passes to set up Blues players but still that's not what we needed when we were down 1 goal.

I think he has over 10 give aways already this season
