Post-Game Talk: Oh, Leafs. Oh, Oh, Leafs: Arizona 3, Leafs 1.

[tp71]

Yes. When a team is on a 3-16-1 stretch scoring 15 goals in 11 games how can the goalie be faulted?

The poster above you managed to find a way. They could have 0 goals and it'd be their fault. Score 3 goals like any team should be able to do and this game is going into OT. Sometimes the team has to bail out the goalie. Can't be on Bernier and Reimer every night.

No worries guys we will make up the 10 point difference and snatch the wild card spot.

At least we didn't lose 12 straight like Buffalo.

Were at what 8? We can do this!

 

[TML1]

At least we didn't get the useless single point that'd hurt the tank. We lost well tonight.

Kinda hard to get the confidence for goals when your goalie is letting in goals from centre ice.

It was one goal. One. ONE. Why are you talking about it like it's a regular occurrence. For every bad goal Bernier let's in, he makes multiple ten bellers. I am just appalled at how people can turn on our best goalie in 8 years after maybe one and a half weeks of not amazing hockey. Give your head a shake

OK the positives:

- Tanked when we thought we couldn't tank, so tank game's strong
- Rielly is showing us why he was drafted so high. Does anyone else see flashes of Leetch? It's pretty amazing.
- JVR good as usual
- Franson played OK in front of scouts, maybe that'll help us out
- I was scared leafs were going to lock up Bernier longterm (at an obvious overpayment), I think he's playing himself into a decent bridge contract for us
- We all saw a record tonight: fastest shorthanded goal to start a period.

That's a biggie. I could have seen this org. throwing a 5x5.5 or some ridiculous number at him, hopefully this highlight reel of turd goals he's allowed this season gets them to think twice.

Bernie knows here's here for the long haul. And he wants some help next year. I like this guy. Playing for the future.

 

[wmark]

Gotta give it to Clarkson.

Even he wants us to tank.

Clarkson is a true fan.

Centre ice would have been an improvement on where oel scored from.

 

[Duffman955]

Has there been a worse coach in the history of the leafs?

This team lets in more goals than Carlyle's, they score less than anyone.

Haha, now it's the goalies fault that the team can't score?

Stop the excuses, he let a 2nd bad goal in mins later. That was the game right there. So just stop and call it correctly.

by letting in two weak goals

Good fans don't cheer for losses......

Agreed, bernier had a bad night but the team around him have had a bad month.

Seriously, I agree with this sentiment. I think we should keep the goalies we have, its the least of our worries. I favour Reimer, but Bernier is very good and these two guys are living in hockey hell right now.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Are you defending my post or bashing it? I don't recall ever saying that.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Arizona is a better team and will get a better draft pick.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

4 points away from the 5th pick. Flyers, Preds, Devils next 3 games. We could be 6th by next week. Although Lawson Crouse is not my cup of tea

 

[saffronleaf]

Tim Lieweke:
I can Guarantee the Leafs will not go 2-12 again.

Leafs: HAH you don't know us well (3-16-1).

Lieweke had one goal when he came to Toronto: make the Raptors and Toronto FC more popular than the Leafs.

Can't hate on him; he set a goal and he's achieved it.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Which Leafs player had a good month? I can't think of any.

 

[YearsintheWilderness]

Anyone know what the worst record is for a new coach after a coaching change? This team makes me curious about the damndest things.

Yes, I've wondered about this as well.

The Leafs were in the playoffs with a winning record the day Carlyle was sacked. Following the first game under Horachek they were out of the playoffs and haven't been back in a wildcard spot since then.

The remainder of the season has so many compelling possibilities for achieving complete worthlessness.

Hopefully the wave of disgrace and shame for how utterly worthless this team is will metaphorically castrate wide swaths of the gullible into never being invincibly malleable, easily played dupes again.

As for MLSE: I believe it will make no difference in terms of overall outlook moving forward. It is worth learning about personality disorders and considering which one applies collectively to the brainless mules in charge of this historically ****ed organization.

I'm sorry but when Reimer stinks the joint out, you bend head over heels to make excuses for him. You have no right to tell me this.

 

[Ratboy]

This is very true

And if the team could actually put pucks in the other teams net it wouldn't matter. But they can't bail out their goalie the way they bail them out almost every damn night.
