Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose in a shootout .. In their own Leafy way

[BertCorbeau]

That was exciting at least... Some good performances by Bozak, Kadri, Rielly, Gardiner, Komarov

JVR stoned by Rask.

Can't complain too much

Feels bad man

 

[mcleex]

Could Reimer have opened up the 5-hole any wider

 

[Cleetus]

down 2-0 still picked up a point. but still feels bad

 

[p.l.f.]

we out shot them 45 -32 I think

 

[Alerion]

Get hammered in Boston and lose.

Destroy the Bruins on home ice and still lose.

The tank crowd probably appreciated these last two games but this one was really painful, as entertaining as it was. 0/6 on the PP cost us this game although I'm sure you could argue Rask won it for Boston. Games like these will result in wins more often than not but of course when we lose one like this it has to be to Boston, and it has to be because of Rask.

You guys are insufferable with your constant Reimer talk.

Bruins didn't look too good once they were given some push back, Leafs seemed timid/lazy at first but eventually put it together for a decent game.

I'm 48 and remember when they had tie games.

I don't remember being put off by them in the slightest...the gimmicky end to these games is just ridiculous. Maybe it's 'cause I'm an old dude, but isn't anyone else put off by this nonsense?

Where was the compete in the first two periods? They played great in the 3rd period. The team that showed up in the 3rd is showing up less and less in the past few weeks.

We'll see but it was fun watching that 3rd period comeback.

Give it a rest.

Very exciting game, hoping for more of those in the future.

 

[thewave]

Good effort but not by all.

 

[Alerion]

42-29 actually

 

[BorntoLose]

Rask stole the game for Boston. much better game than Saturday at least, now a big 5 day break

We outscored them 3-1 in the second period

 

[Canadian Finn]

I can say is it's nice not watching 3rd period collapses.

Rather the opposite lately.

For that reason I say thumbs up !!

I so thought it would catch on to the other leagues. NFL game decided by a field goal contest, NBA game decided by 3-pt shooting, MLB game decided by a homerun derby.
Oh wait, those other leagues aren't run by idiots.

 

[p.l.f.]

42-29 actually

oh yeah I added the goals for some reason lol

Starting from half point in the second I think they turned it on.

So one and half periods of good hockey.

That Rask save on JVR made me realize that the Leafs were going to lose that game

 

[Jeepman89*]

Reimer gave this one away. 3 crappy goals and a stinker in the shootout through the legs. reimer stinks. Time for Bernier to reclaim the net.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I couldn't care less about wins and losses, I just care about good games right now. This was a very entertaining game. That's all I care about.

I'm in the same boat as you, sir.

 

[Sonny21]

Btw, anyone watching The Leaf right now on TSN?

I never had a problem with ties. Never understood the need to eliminate them, particularly with something as stupid as a sniper contest.
