Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 6-2.

[ZEBROA]

Read the thread and you'll see it was Brown's.

Ok how shall a hatefull fan keep track on whom to hate when it changes all the time. I thought we all agreed, last year it was Hyman this year it is Nylander.

Hey guys , new poster here , been on the boards for a while tho. Anyways I just wanted to chime in on the rielly incident and the term “rag it”. In the dubas thread I seen a lot of comments saying it’s an antiquated term , which I disagree with.. I hear it all the time. Also if you’ve ever played some team play on nhl games guys say it all the time . Just wanted to post this because I was surprised at the amount of people that didn’t know the term

The outrage machine is looking for something to be outraged about. Even if it isn't there.

I hear it at almost every game. Either rag it or wheel. It is very common. And those terms have been around even before my time.

I dont know what it means, RAG IT

Instead of firing it down the ice on the PK, waste time by holding possession.

Why don't the media go deeper? They must be chicken sh*ts. Never seen a team with 1 breakout. For NHL it is kinda hard to believe.

And the hockey guys are always in the studio. It is the reporter types who go to the scrums. They must be told if you go there you will not be back. It is so superficial and never gets to real hockey talk.

Dubas and shanny's attention should be on Babs now until Playoffs

 

[Trapper]

rag the puck (third-person singular simple present rags the puck, present participleragging the puck, simple past and past participle ragged the puck)

1. (ice hockey) To retain possession of the puckby skillful skating and stickhandling without attempting to score, as a deliberate tacticintended to use up time.

 

[AllDay28]

next time rag it boys

anyone who plays NHL 19 knows that raging the puck is the worst thing in the f***ing world.

I am pretty sure that when a T-Rex grabbed his prey his fellow Dino's would yell "rag the velocoraptor, rag it, rag it" ...it's likely that old a saying.

If Leafs show no improvement in the playoffs and still allow 3 goals a game on average, coaching should definitely be looked at.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

bad game. Very bad game.

Forget allowing 3 goals/game, how about scoring consistently without having to rely on highlight-reel skill plays rather than an actual offensive system?

Hey if we can’t win by trying hard for 10 minutes of the 2nd period then why bother.

 

[Thread The Needle]

Are some people still ragging on that "crisis" where nothing actually happened?

 

[al secord]

Instead of firing it down the ice on the PK, waste time by holding possession.

Is this another term that should make us feel old?

I haven't played in a beer league for a while, but I was the greatest puck ragger of all time, if I'm being modest.

I woke up today still trying to figure out how a team on a PP, can make a line change, 4 forwards abandon the lone D man, with the opposing team's player BEHIND their net and 2 of their forwards rushing!
WTH?
Serious question: who is in command of line changes? Coach? Asst. coach? players? the trainer?? LOL.
A junior team could figure out a line change time better than that.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and the no good very bad game.

You know what the worst part about that line change was? They literally stopped skating 30ft from the bench and coasted in...preventing the fresh players from jumping on quickly to catch up to Tampa's forwards. I get it if your too gassed to go all the way to your own zone..but even to your bench you have to lollygag it? Mathews was the nearest guy to the bench and he just Marleau'd his way over there...very disappointing. I think the guys are sick of this coach and his constantly putting the players in situations that are bad due to his systems. Mathews pretty much called out the fact the PP is doing the same thing over and over about 1 month ago. They changed it up for a few games...and now back to usual.

 

[AllDay28]

Leafs need to get up 1-0 next game and rag it til the end. Screw it

Agreed. They are doing what Mcdavid does - skate in on his own half the time because the rest of the team can't cant keep up.
But difference is we HAVE the players, but they are setup and used wrong to the point of confusion.

Babcock is losing the room. You see it on players faces. you see it on Matthews the most.
