Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-1. Series tied 1-1

[LastOne2100]

You knew Boston was going to come out as hard as possible and we needed to weather the storm.

Instead we got 2 blunders by Muzzin followed by a blunder by Nylander.

Refs lost control of the game very early on and never even tried to get control back.

 

[CincoHolio]

Kadri was the only C to show up tonight. And I will give him the benefit that he wasn't getting much help from his teammates. Having said that, he shouldn't make himself the lighting rod. Love his guts but this game was sour from the get-go and a no win situation.

 

[ashs]

Really really bad game.

We dominated game 1, they dominated game 2.

Move on to the next.

Kapanen and Matthews have been really struggling at finding any sort of room. They've been really quiet.

Did they really dominate? Our pp sucked and they were allowed to play their game.

 

[DanM]

I am sorry, but Auston is trash, over 11 million a year, and is HORRIBLE!!!

There is no other way to put it.

I know he has all the talent in the world, but enough is enough, play like a dominant C.

 

[Al14]

We can trade Matthews. Zero points.
And at this time we dont have the he is injured excuse.

He is certainly playing like he belongs on the Coyotes! Perfect player for them.

 

[wingman75]

Ah, there is the team I watched for most of the season. Soft. Weak. If not for Andersen this score would have been embarrassing.

Kadri needs to be moved on the off season.

If Matthews cannot generate offence while playing strong D, how good is he really?

That was the worst game I have ever seen JT play.

We need to see the exception on Monday, not the norm to get the series lead. This was the real Leafs. Sad but true.

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

Anyone else notice that Matthews seemed to care about winning the stupid Under 21 team World Cup games more than he does for us?
Where did the pride go?

 

[Trapper]

The only thing missing from this game was a chair getting smashed over someone.

 

[rumman]

crunching the underlying numbers of course.

counting up "elite" zone entries when Nylander fly by's are what need counting...........

Lmao some posters on here

 

[A1LeafNation]

Leafs were missing a certain something tonight...

Matthews, the word you are looking for is Matthews.

 

[Jackson14]

This game showed how important Kadri is to winning this series, now he might be gone for the rest of it...

 

[Brobust]

Leafs not going anywhere without Kadri. I hope they prove me wrong, but the series just ended tonight.

Welcome to the ignore list

I'm going to post my entire ignore list for everyone soon in the hopes of making this forum more readable

Then add yourself to your list .

 

[Teeder Keon]

Kadri is fully to blame for his actions, but things were always going to escalate to an incident of this nature the way they called this hockey game.

Some of the worst officiating I've seen in a very long time. Injuries and suspension because they didn't address any of the incidents in the opening period.

I don’t disagree with the bad officiating , but it was bad everywhere ...
I’m not a Kadri fan
I thought he had a very very effective game , but his actions there were inexcusably selfish ...
We were still in the game and in the series , brutal team player
Oh I know what a lot of you younger fans are going to say about his sticking up for his mates and how hard he played , and your right , up until that point .
Stupid play by a stupid selfish player , bush league , as I’ve always said “ ball hockey player “ dumb and selfish
Wait for the right time
That time wasn’t at that point
Even wait till next yeAr if you have to
But not there
Dumb ass
Selfish ass

 

[DopeyFish]

Your an idiot, keep on ignoring things you dont like.

*you're

Also I'm ignoring fake fans... people who couldn't make a valuable post worth the bits they're encoded with, let alone reading.

P.s. welcome to the list.

Thought crime in progress!

 

[MattySnipes]

It was a bad loss, mostly because they didn't give a damn about much along with the disgraceful officiating but its just one game. That's the beauty of the playoffs. Momentum doesnt carry game-to-game in the playoffs.

Toronto will now make their adjustments and will have the home crowd along with other benefits. It's a new series but we're still in the driver's seat until we lose at home.

 

[AvroArrow]

Marner tripped near the start of the 1st no call
Debrusk knee on knee, no call
Debrusk elbow to the face, no call
Debrusk facewashes Kadri, takes him down, hits him while hes down again, offsetting calls. Kadri gets a roughing for getting punched ?
Tavares highsticked no call
That "hook" on Kadri
Gauthier "roughing"

lots of interference, refs were absolute garbage and should be fired after a game like that

Leafs didn't play amazing but it's kind of difficult when the opposing team gets that away with that mush shit, disgraceful officiating.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

I thought Matthews was (lol) saving himself for the playoffs the past few months?

 

[leafsfan5]

Notes:
Matthews is my favourite player but this is pathetic, where is he?? I thought we signed Tavares to have an elite centre on our top 2 lines, not just the first. He needs to step up big time game 3
Nylander had a good third but overall bad game, terrible puck management
Johnsson isn't very good
Kadri plays with heart and I love that but that was some dumb s***, played exactly into what the bruins wanted. This is twice in two years
Andersen played great, bright spot is that we don't need to worry about him this year. He's showed up
Reffing- This is actually disgraceful, no f****** consistency at all. Then when the game was obviously getting out of hand the whistles go away, how dumb do you have to be to think that's smart???? Kadri was stupid for the hit on Debrusk but the Refs let the stage be set for this to happen
Zaitsev with the puck in his zone gives me a heart attack

Overall Babcock needs to adjust, dump and chase ain't working. Put Hyman-Matthews-Nylander together again
If you asked me if I'd take 1-1 split going back to Toronto I'd take it. But we have to win game 3

 

[kk87]

Just a horrendous game top to bottom. Almost a good thing that we can shine a light on bad officiating in a game we didn't deserve to win anyway, instead of in a game where the reffing is the difference.

At the same time, really ****ing dumb on Kadri's part. He scored a goal to get us back in the game, we start to generate some chances, and then he goes and pisses it all away. Really disappointing

 

[Legendary]

Mr.UFA invisible as well

 

[A Bearded Platypus]

Those refs and the league should be embarrassed. What a ******* joke.

 

[ashs]

Instead of cross checking DeBrusk .Kadri should have just dropped his gloves and started whaling at his face

Pretty much what bs does
