Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 5-3 | Get Ceci Off This Team Yesterday | #PrayForAndersen

Terrible 3rd - depressing results

 

[I Believe]

Hate the result but we did outplay the hell out of them.

Won't lose too many games playing like that.

 

[ICBM]

He has sucked this yr just saying
Under .900 save %

Stats are just numbers. Still top 10 most wins.

 

[FreeBird]

I expected more from Dermott when he first came up I thought he showed anticipation and made good decisions, but haven't seen a tonne of progress.

Maybe 3rd. pairing defender is his ceiling?

...
From everything I've been reading recently, Liljegren might be ready for the next challenge.

He wasn't worth Konecny bad trade giving up the 24th pick

 

[FreeBird]

Hate the result but we did outplay the hell out of them.

Won't lose too many games playing like that.

Unfortunately you have to play that way for 3 periods not 2, you play the game to Win.

Love Muzzin but cross checking your opponents on top of your Goaltender just isn't the way to go.

 

[ToneDog]

O'Dog was prophetic yesterday when he said, you won't get away with mistakes when you play playoff teams. The team probably thought the game was won when Matthews scored but that Panther team has come back from 3 goal deficits in the 3rd at least twice. Blowing a 4 point home game against your only competition for the 3rd spot in your division who has 2 games in hand and with their best player out stings big time.

Didn't the Panthers getaway with a number of mistakes yesterday?

....how many periods did the Panthers play?

 

[ToneDog]

Didn't the Panthers getaway with a number of mistakes yesterday?

Probably but goalie Bob > Hutch last night.

 

[FreeBird]

....how many periods did the Panthers play?

Who won the Game that's all that matters, they played enough to win the Game, at the end of the day the Panthers one period was better than the Leafs two periods.

Yup last I heard, points are awarded for wins not better Corsi numbers.

 

[Gallagbi]

Who won the Game that's all that matters, they played enough to win the Game, at the end of the day the Panthers one period was better than the Leafs two periods.

...so how many periods do you have to play?

 

[Gallagbi]

Probably but goalie Bob > Hutch last night.

Without question. They got saves, we didn't. We missed chances, they didn't. Dominant performance ruined by bad goals and lack of finish.

As much as I hate to say it, I think last nights game may have broken this team.

I can’t see them psychologically recovering from this.

 

[Gallagbi]

Who won the game?

Panthers, but who has said otherwise. These tired cliches are garbage. The fact is the Leafs dominated but lost on bad goaltending and a lack of finish. That's the story of the game, not that they weren't completely dominant for 60 minutes, that's an unreasonable expectation that never happens.

 

[al secord]

They've shown they can't get up for the games that truly matter. I'm resigned to believe this season is lost.

 

[ToneDog]

Not sure if the season is lost but I am resigned that this team is not a SC winner.

Interestingly, Button asked are Flyers, Isles, Panthers, CBJ, Canes SC contenders because they are ahead of the Leafs.

 

[JayfromNB1219]

11M and he can't even hit the net from there. It's so ****ing upsetting.

Yeah but have you watched this team shoot...it's usually right in the goalies chest or high and wide...that's nothing new there for him (or any other leaf) to get a good chance and miss the net completely...we are lucky our forwards are so damn talented they get enough chances in a game that it usually doesn't bite us too badly

 

[JayfromNB1219]

I've seen this so many times at my job. Management makes a bonehead hire with some boy genius who has no clue. They defend him both publicly and privately and stand there stoically while the business goes down the tubes.

Time to get rid of Dubas and keep the door open for Shanahan. They have gone from a Stanley Cup contender to 1st draft pick contender in 2 years. There still is time to salvage this team.

I'd take Caulfield or Lafreniere personally...or Cousins...I can put off the parade for a year to grab an actual gamer to complement these guys (cousins or Lafreniere)

 

[JayfromNB1219]

I want Ceci ****ing off. The guy pisses me off erverytime he's ****ing out there. Doesn't ****ing deserve to be in this league,

He can be in the league...but preferably with Boston or Florida (TB would never take a chance on him in a million years) although with our luck he'd go there and be a legit shutdown all-star defenseman

 

[JayfromNB1219]

This loss hurts more than that kick in the nuts from my ex-wife.

is your ex wife a paraplegic? I don't know about you but I'd rather see my Leafs get stomped by Ottawa than get kicked in the nads...just saying

 

[Joey Hoser]

Who won the Game that's all that matters

Who won the game?

You guys can leave these boards for good now then. If that's all that matters then there is nothing to talk about. They lost, and that's it.
