Post-Game Talk: Leafs stomp Mcjesus

Fingers crossed for my boy Dermott, but it's time for some Nylander tweets:

So next time we talk about trading Nylander, don't.

I still can’t believe our team will not stick up for each other what happens when Matthew gets it

First of all, it really wasn’t a dirty hit. Secondly, Don’t think Malone played after that. Which to me was a very classy thing Hitch did. Also, if you noticed, Hitch kept rolling McDavid out there instead of his 4th line toward the end. I think he is sending a message to his team that keep those frustrations and fires for next game instead of gooning it.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Oilers overpaid Lucic not McDavid or Drai. Chia also thought that Lucic can replace Hall thus he went out and traded Hall away for a Dman. They also overpaid a lot of middle 6 players and screwed up development of a lot of young players. Most of all, Talbot somehow forgot how to make a save and thus traded away.

Overpayments hurt. They hurt A LOT. If McDavid and Drai made 2 million more each, and had 4 million in savings in people like Lucic and other middle 6 players, they still be at the precise same problem.

I wonder why Marincin was called up. Ozhiganov is a young guy, I'm sure he could handle the back to back. Would be a good opportunity to drop Hainsey to the third pair to "Mentor" Holl. Gives us some time to see Rielly without Hainsey glued to him.

I actually like Hainsey when he tries to break out on his natural side and I have no idea why he prefers the right.

Rielly-Zaitsev
Muzzin-Ozhiganov
Hainsey-Holl

Ahh advanced stats were right about William Nylander who knew. Where the haters at?

 

[Slyfox]

If Willie can score like that regularly, he is going to be very dangerous.

He's been dangerous even when he wasn't scoring if you watch the games.

I know you meant well but being dangerous without anything to show for on the Goals and Assists columns is useless. Virtanen looks dangerous a lot of the times for the Nucks but he is useless.

They foucus on the point total and ignore everything else. They also still believe he doesn't go in to corners despite evidence to the contrary.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

I've heard leaf fans say time and time again that elite skill is what's hard to get, so who cares if you overpay them.

Well... Edmonton has two of the best players in the entire league and are one of the worst teams. So it's not JUST about skill players. It's about the depth that surrounds them.

Sure, when Matthews and Marner make less than 2 million between them, things seem ok. But when they combined make well over 20 million (due to dramatic overpayments)? Yeah... we may be the Oilers of the future.
McDavid is Matthews. Draisaitl is Tavares. Nylander is Hopkins. And Marner I'm
starting to wonder if we can even afford to keep at all...

Except we have a much better coach, GM and Front Office. The whole idea is being able to keep costs down by cycling through some cheap players, picking up a free agent on the cheap because he knows a season in our top 6 means he’ll make twice as much on his next team.

Do we have a better GM? It seems like Tavares was coming home regardless of it being Lou or Kyle. The Muzzin trade was nice but the contract negotations were failures.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Is Throw More Waffles really a Leafs fan?

 

[mikeo1]

So Nylander, Matthews, and (likely) Marner are all overpaid.

When everybody on this board says things like "Who cares. If your skill players are overpaid, it's no big deal"... just remember the Oilers.

They're the CARBON COPY definition of paying top dollar for skill players, and having absolutely no depth.

The Dubas dramatic overpayments will DESTROY our depth.

You should all be FURIOUS at the Dubas overpayments. Not making lame excuses for him.

I mean, I agree with you in a lot of ways. But you're kind of hysterical. Chill.

None of those players are overpaid. Zaitsev is but we have to blame Lou for that.

 

[Sniper99]

They need sooo much more than just Hughes, their depth is atrocious

they need to get rid of some of those *** contracts. Lucic's contract is god awful **** nevermind Hughes. Clean house after the mess Chiarelli left them.

I’ve actually forgot more about the point totals with Nylander at C.

 

[Confucius]

Tavares will be ready for tomorrow, I bet he gets a standing O

A video tribute followed by a 5 minute standing O and hats flying down from the rafters.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Man, Oilers fans who are complaining about the reffing like it's why they lost have no clue.
Maybe someday they'll figure out that when you never have the puck and are being out-skated/out-skilled/out-worked by a superior team, you tend to take a lot of penalties.

You mean Melander?

I love how quickly people forgot how good he really is.

I guess those people watching the games now like:
- Wow! Oh no that was Nylander, i should hate you.
Next shift:
- Wooow! (oh again..)

 

[Pookie]

Leafs showed great composure in not running up the score.

 

[Le Cobra]

That 2nd goal was a BS call. How is that NOT interference

 

[ECanuck]

That 2nd goal was a BS call. How is that NOT interference

That was interference for sure. I didn't like us challenging that call. Game was over.

 

[Peasy]

Oiler fans are so salty lmao. Trying to take every little shot they can about the Leafs to try and make themselves feel better about that disaster of an organization. The oilers are no where near being a consistent playoff team.

They're acting like they lost the game because of one non call against rielly.

 

[MyBudJT]

Whats is sad is that there is little discussion on the bullshit 2nd goal that counted. Its come to a point where we expect this bullshit.

Had both the Malone hit, and the edmonton "goal" been in reverse (us doing it on Edmonton), we would have had a 5 minute minor, and the goal would have been called back.

What a joke.

Why don't the Leafs get the respect other teams get?
