Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-2

[DarkKnight]

Mental weakness is our identity.

 

[The Examiner]

Hopefully Matthews is back for the Oilers game. They really missed him out there tonight.

- Andersen performed poorly.

- Keefe should have called a timeout after it was 3-2.

- Matthews line was relatively quiet, which is not good.

- Tavares line was very noticeable, but for mixed reasons (2gf, 3ga), which is not good.

- Very disappointing effort in the third period.

- Good to see so much Leafs support in Calgary. Wish they had the arena volume higher. Would love to see more games against our Western Canadian bros.

- Kudos to the Flames, 7-0. That winning streak we've been in search of since January remains elusive.

Being a Leafs fan sure tests your patience, not to mention your mental health

Win was in reach, but terrible start to the 3rd. Every mistake went in the net.

Calgary stays hot. Leafs have to pick up Fred Saturday night. Didn't like that quit.

Took Lou a year and a half to rid this organization of it's loser mentality. Took Dubas a year and a half to bring it back.

Keefs defensive system and Dubas' d corps are pure garbage.

 

[Pookie]

Andersen can’t do it all.

Got to play defence too.

Keefe has used him in 9 of 10 games so far.

 

[Dragao6]

How does this team still have a winning record??

 

[hullsy47]

Matthews, Nylander, Andersen and Barrie were all poor tonight.

Nylander looks hurt

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels bad man

 

[Superstar]

What an absolutely pathetic third .. Just gave up.

Too much carelessness with the puck again, and it cost them as Andy wasn't good.

I don't understand how a team with this much talent can have such a sad looking 5 on 3 PP.

Some of these players play way too loose...you see it at the end of the 2nd period...Matthews passes back into his zone without hitting his man, causing a turnover and allowing the Flames sustain offensive pressure for no good reason...it was a foreshadow for what came in the 3rd period.

 

[Craig Button]

They ****ed up so bad and couldn't score 1 goal on a 5-on-3?

Tavares on a break away...

What the **** did we pay all this money for?

The issue wasn't the 5-3.
The issue was Andersen and R&B.

 

[Teeder Keon]

 

[Optimist]

As good as Freddie is, I just cringe when he handles the puck. You just know that something bad is about to happen.

 

[robertmac43]

Better team lost. Andersen got beat three times off unscreened, high-glove wristers. That's Hutchinson-level stuff.

The first shot came from one of the better shooters in the league and the second one was a two on one originating from bad neutral zone play.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Must be a shit team when your captain leads the collapse with all those goals against and missed breakaways.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

I wonder sometimes if Matthews feels embarrassed about his performance. He kinda looked like he had serious comprehension skill issues tonight.
Freddy wasn’t good for once and the team couldn’t answer. Tough soft loss

 

[JerseyMike34]

**** the leafs. They should never have made JT captain. He skates slow so everyone else thinks it means they don’t have to go 100% cause their captains 100% is like their 60%

This is the dumbest of hot takes I've ever seen.

 

[Thervguy]

Did Matthews play tonight? I didn't see him all game. I guess he felt like a day off.

 

[MoreMogilny]

How does this team still have a winning record??

Its deceiving.

We’ve lost more games than we’ve won.

 

[MyBudJT]

I look forward to this team when Tyson Barrie is no longer on it. The guy is a defensive liability whenever he's on the ice.

 

[Coachcorner]

Oh metoo@ dubas lost??!! No? iiiiihhh ?? eeeeeh??++ uuuhhh??

Is y'all really surprised?

No thugs, no goalies, no nuthing. This agenda trying to change the whole game, and history. Now y'all see??? NO???? Calculate the thangs and see. As I do. This is ridiculous. We ain't have none of the old players this game NEEDS. This game itself hasn't changed. it will though, since the first women players come in and we have all the thangs we need. No hits, no fights etc. But that's in 20 years. Mark my words.

 

[Stephen]

That's a spectacular way to lose. Three shots, three goals against. All on Andersen.

 

[All Mod Cons]

It's just hard to picture this team do serious damage with the player's inability to play without the puck

 

[hockeyes]

Took Lou a year and a half to rid this organization of it's loser mentality. Took Dubas a year and a half to bring it back.

Keefs defensive system and Dubas' d corps are pure garbage.

They've been losers for almost a full year
