Feels bad man

 

[BTP]

Penalties in OT need to be 1 minute. 3 on 3 is badass and a full 2 minute powerplay is f***ing trash. Ruins the entertainment value.

edit: Pickard was not weak.

 

[Space Coyote]

Take the point and win and Vegas.

 

[weems]

Ugly game.
Refs were bad.
Getting 1 point out of a effort like this is decent.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Gotta be happy with a point all things considered.

 

[FlareKnight]

Too bad for Pickard. Could have had a win if he remembered to bribe the officials before the game.

This sport is garbage sometimes with those idiots dictating games.

 

[MJ65]

Happy with a point better then nothing and that's the bottom line

 

[Muston Atthews]

Let’s get 5/6 on Sunday

you'd probably think otherwise if the Leafs had the PP.

3rd in Goals For

29th in PP Opportunities

Explain that. f*** the refs.

We regularly get interfered with and never get PPs. We touch the other team and it's a 5 on 3.

 

[Schenn]

Meh, whatever. We knew it would be a tough game on the 2nd half of a back to back with our AHL goalie in net to boot. Happy we scavenged a point, and hopefully the boys get lots of rest in Vegas. (lol)

Take that point straight to the bank. However yes Hainsey out in 3on3 is puzzling to say the least.

 

[Alerion]

I'll take 3/4 points on a west coast back to back every day of the week, even if it is against 2 weak teams.

Wonder when we'll start drawing more than 2 PPs a game? Clearly getting no respect from the officials.

 

[Kiwi]

Got a point

Definitely could have been worse, now just get some rest in before Vegas and come out with another good effort

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Annoying losing on a bad call in OT, but we got one more point than I thought we would.

We out shot them though so that's a win I think. I know some on here are obsessed with shot totals so

 

[Paradoc]

Pickard wasn’t bad. He made plenty of good saves to keep the game within reach. Matthews was disappointing and refs were awful. Otherwise, I thought we played reasonably well.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Hainsey's boneheaded play cost us in OT. Refs weren't great but the way we were playing we had a good chance of winning in OT until that play and subsequent penalty call.

Oh well. Take the point on a back to back. Win in Vegas.

 

[Muston Atthews]

3rd in goals for 29th in PP opportunities cause that makes sense

 

[Alerion]

Take that point straight to the bank. However yes Hainsey out in 3on3 is puzzling to say the least.

Gardiner and Rielly had both taken long shifts and with Zaitsev out, I guess Babcock trusted Hainsey the most. I don't think anyone expected him to try and dangle like that at the blueline.

 

[ULF_55]

Well, Leafs played the tired team last night, so it evens out.

Not sure what Hainsey was trying to pull in overtime, but he caused the penalty.

 

[kk87]

Bad call in OT but you can’t remember rally blame the ref, honest mistake. Real question mark is Hainsey, absolutely boneheaded and completely uncharacteristic. That cost us the game

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

awful refs
MacKinnon was the best player easily tonight

 

[Raging Bull]

At this point I’m wondering if our bench is constantly bitching about non calls and that’s why we’re not getting any. With all the speed on this team it’s unheard of to draw so few penalties.

 

[Damisoph]

Good point.

We're now 9-7-1 in this stretch of 18 games (15 on the road)...for all the bitching and moaning around these parts, that's not too shabby.
