Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 6-5 in OT

[Incognito]

Losing to teams we should handily beat feels like a Leafs tradition.

 

[bax]

Awful.

 

[Cor]

Meh. 5 of 6 points on a 3 in 4 and back to back against a rested Habs team. Should be. win, but hard to be angry in the bigger picture

People tend to focus on individual games too much

 

[CelticDruid]

Feels bad man.

Not gonna make a GDT again....

Also, who the heck throws sticks at people.

The Stones.

 

[Pi]

Those 2 points they gave Montreal will haunt them in April.

Lol? Montreal won't even get a wild card spot. These points just ensure they are stuck in 9th place forever.

 

[Goose]

I never like the Leafs losing, but there is the side benefit of coming into these threads and marvelling at the overreactions.

At least it was entertaining. As was said above, I’ll happily take 5/6 points on 3 games in 4 nights.

 

[yubbers]

Get rid of that god damn basketball :p

 

[Mitch Matthews]

Leafs miss home ice advantage by 1 point, remember this game

If they get home ice by 1 remember this game

 

[MJ65]

That was disgusting and that play by Kappy was pathetic (not sure what he was thinking. He should sit out for a game

 

[KingJoffrey]

After this game there is zero chance that Andersen plays under 60 games.

And let Tavares take a 1-2 week leave to spend time with his crying kid. Captain plays like a zombie.

Promote Soupman and let Kapanen eat popcorn at the press box.

 

[TMLeafer]

Tavares line, particularly Tavares and Kapanen, was really bad. It felt like Tavares didn't even win a faceoff until OT. Looks really slow out there.

Kapanen has earned a demotion. He looks lost usually, but that play was mindless beyond his usual.

Defense was too porous, Hutch was good then bad.

Third line looked good. Matthews keeps rolling.

 

[stickty111]

Babcock doesn't call time out with the momentum shifting.
One thing is for certain, he is still terrible at reading a situation, and getting his team to start on time.

 

[ToneDog]

Not happy with the loss but not ready to do my best chicken little impression after game 3 in 4 nights.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

One more point than I expected on a b2b with our very meh backup, but don't like blowing a lead like that. Tavares needs to be a lot better, and Kapanen needs to do something or he'll be in the dog house if he isn't already.

 

[Pi]

Super entertaining game. No one and by no one I mean no one is stopping Matthews from scoring 50-60 goals this season.

 

[NoName]

I was surprised the let DeSmith clear waivers. That looks like it is biting them in the ass right now.


Aside from that the team did look pretty gassed in the third. Downside of having three games in four nights.

 

[Kshahdoo]

3 SH goals against? Is NHL.com not lying?

 

[Atomos2]

Kapanen was terrible

He needs a demotion. Either that or Hyman can't get back fast enough

 

[ryno23]

Sens fans told us Ceci was shit and they were right. No clue how to play D and soft as butter. Once Dermott back move him to third pairing until a trade can be made. Speaking of trade Kap has no place on this team with his lack of hockey IQ and stone hands

 

[Burnie97]

Should of been an easy close out... not all on Hutch at all, but he made no big saves.

Leafs were f***ing sleep walking through the 3rd. Effort wasn't good enough.

Got a point.... so... trying to look at it as a positive, but they need to make some adjustments.

Habs aren't very good. Leafs played bad at the end.

 

[hockeyes]

Not a big deal, 2-0-1 isn't a terrible start in 4 nights.

With that said, Weber is one of the biggest bitches in the league and JT needs to pull his head out of his ass.

 

[MSZ]

They better wake up soon as the Blues come to town and the Leafs always struggle against them on home ice.

 

[CelticDruid]

Hockey is cruel, bounces and breaks and thrown sticks.

 

[The Examiner]

Could have used Gardiner in OT tonight.

Oh, and the Leafs get to face the Blues next. Fun.

 

[Cotton]

Tired team using an AHL level backup, still took a point.

Could be worse.
