Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-2

[Nineteen67]

Let there be no doubt, this team needs Matthews AND Nylander

Yes......And a couple of tough hard nosed wingers.....

Is everyone losing their shit? It was just two games in a row. It happens every season multiple times a season. Nylander isn't going to not get paid for a season, he'll sign or be traded. Whats up with all the hysteria in every thread I go to? Babcock, Andersen on and on and on. Relaaax

 

[Trapper]

Marner is off and on right now driving the line. Sometimes it seems he’s watching JT do the heavy lifting too much.
We didn’t see that with Bozak/JVR and Kadri. He needs to get back to that. Taking control more and more.

The standings are so tight that I think everyone feels every loss. We could tumble down into a WC position by the end of the weekend if Boston wins twice.

Johnsson Tavares Marner
_____ Matthews Nylander
Marleau Kadri Kapanen
Hyman Lindholm Brown
Ennis Gauthier Leivo

Kapanen Matthews Nylander

All the Way! I can not wait to see that line.

You'd think the whole Leafs nation were having a fit. It's going to be ok, we are an amazing team and will make the PO.

 

[34]

Tampa and Buffalo are missing key players and doing just fine.

I still am not sure how we beat either of them in the playoffs.

Don’t sweat it, once #34 and #29 are back... the Leafs will be back rolling again.

 

[wingman75]

I thought they were in it until the SH goal against. Not much attention to detail.

When 44 is garbage, this team doesn't have much of a chance to win.

Quite a few poor efforts tonight I thought. 2, 43, 44, 51 to name a few. Others weren't great but those four stood out to me to have a major negative impact on the outcome.

Frustrating as hell to watch the play like shit, but I get it, its November... Level of concern on Kadri is sky high though.

Well, we have a very strong core group, but tonight Tavares was the only one performing of them.

You've been here long enough to know how it goes after one loss, never mind a couple.

 

[member 262271]

We all know who is to blame for this loss. RYAN LACEY.

 

[frog]

After a loss like this all you can do is be happy about having one of the best coaches to get this team on the right track again, that should cheer everyone up

 

[socko]

We all know who is to blame for this loss. RYAN LACEY.

Lying Ryan Lacey

Yes - Marner owes Tavares an apology for his pathetic effort tonight

 

[Zybalto]

I wonder if Nashville fans are going nuts down 6-1 tonight to the 2nd worst team in the league and their "best defense in the league"?

 

[RubberHead]

Marner legs looked really stiff. He couldn't skate very well. I think he's hurt.

 

[Nithoniniel]

We all know who is to blame for this loss. RYAN LACEY.

Rielly and Andersen were so let down by no 5PM press conference that they never really recovered.

 

[mulefarm]

Gardiner had a strong game and is playing exceptional. Because we lost people say he had a bad game?

 

[LeafsHome]

I wonder if Nashville fans are going nuts down 6-1 tonight to the 2nd worst team in the league and their "best defense in the league"?

Lol - everything will even out in the end - shit teams will go back to being shit - and yes Leafs fans, that includes Buffalo - they are horrible and won't even make the playoffs.

Buffalo 15-6 is unsustainable with a goal differential of +9. Winning a ton of 1 goal games

 

[Zybalto]

On a positive note, that looked like Zaitsev in his first season. Where you been bud?

He's been our best defensive player most of the year. Every few games he cleans up his transition game and he looks crazy good. Puck moving always looks sweeter than yet another defensive stop.

 

[CelticDruid]

Johnsson Tavares Marner
_____ Matthews Nylander
Marleau Kadri Kapanen
Hyman Lindholm Brown
Ennis Gauthier Leivo

Johnsson on the first? He is lucky to be on the fourth right now.

 

[Critical13]

People keep saying we're missing important pieces...so are Boston and Tampa. They keep winning.

I just don't think we're as good as the standings say.

 

[Nineteen67]

The good news is - Of the teams currently in a playoff spot the Leafs can beat at least three of them.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Johnsson on the first? He is lucky to be on the fourth right now.

He is playing with shit offensive linemates right now, similar to Kapanen prior to inserting him into the top 6.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

It’s the last two games. Marner has been great all season. Unrealistic expectations that he or any player will be great every game
