Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose to the canes

[Blanche Blanche]

That was a tough one to watch, we were disjointed and unfocused. Some guys looked tired.

Not trying to start a riot, but McBackup looked the same steady guy I remembered.

Mcbackup was solid and beat Freddy tonight.

We got friggen Sparks. Dubas better make me eat crow

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Really, Florida?

Buffalo, Tampa, and Boston with at least one point.. not a good night.

they're a divisional rival who could easily turn things around and catch us. i'd rather Tampa have lost but it's not all bad

 

[Polaris1010]

Is there a game Saturday after the Friday game?

Did not even expect a game Friday.

Leivo is snakebit, at some point that tide is going to turn for him and he's going to score in bunches

on a side note I don't like the Marleau-Kadri-Kapanen line, all three are guys thrive on getting to the dirty areas and cleaning up but the line doesn't have a guy who works it around the outside to get it in front. I'd like to see Leivo replace Marleau for a bit

Leivo seems a step behind, whether he's shooting or making a play...the NHL is a fast league...half a second could mean a goal or an assist vs nothing.

Kappy slated to be with Matthews I thought!

Gilmour looked awful right after he got married. NEW TEAM RULE...

But if you want to be on Egocock's good side you need to get married, pump out a few kids, and help out on the family farm in the offseason.

yup on the road against Columbus, than back home to play Philly on Sat.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Nice to see the Big Mac get the win after that loser Dubas put him on waivers. Sparks is absolute trash.

If Dubas is a loser what are u in life?? Ultra mega loser?? F off with Pejorative Slured remarks like this over a back up goalie i hate fake fans like u

 

[Nineteen67]

This team is hard to watch.

 

[Clark4Ever]

We played well enough to get to overtime after the 1st period, but you can't expect results when you have a first period like that.

 

[Kiwi]

Meh, a deserved loss, it happens

Sometimes the other team is just better on the night, I wouldn't mind seeing us start on time in the next game though

That first period was a hard watch

I think you're mis-diagnosing this pretty badly, he and Ennis have been just controlling the play whenever they're on the ice, Leivo had 3 premium chances tonight

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Its not the end of the world. Can’t win em all. Were doing great still! see ya

 

[BigGulpsEh]

leafs better be ready for the jackets on Friday. They’ll want revenge

 

[Superstar]

I've also seen how slow he's been...I guess I'm expecting too much...lol...not everyone has the instincts of Crosby.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

I'm way more concerned with Tampa,, Boston, and Buffalo.

 

[Budz22]

We could have played Sparks, have him let in 5, and lost.

Wasted Andersen's effort tonight.

Andersen only let in 3. Your bitterness towards Sparks is sad.

 

[DarkKnight]

I don't even think Carolina was that good, we were just hard pressed to do anything it seemed. Certainly wasn't in awe of their game.

 

[Gallagbi]

It was a pretty crappy game both ways with neither team having great chances.

 

[Cleetus]

I wouldn't sleep on Detroit either.

 

[Gallagbi]

I wouldn't sleep on Detroit either.

I would

 

[DoobieDubas]

Really like dehans game. Quiet but solid game.

Slavin is a beast and not attainable.

Hamilton looked meh.

 

[DoobieDubas]

I wouldn't sleep on Detroit either.

lol

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Its nice to see a vast majority of reasonable posts tonight after a lose.
On to the next one!

 

[Randy Randerson]

I've also seen how slow he's been...I guess I'm expecting too much...lol...not everyone has the instincts of Crosby.

not great foot speed for sure, but super effective in spite of that. Opposing players know they can't let him get close when he gets the puck or he takes it from them, plus a great shot and pretty good vision

He's the opposite of Johnsson, his brain works at NHL speed even if his feet are at the low end of that range
