HF Habs: Out Of Town Thread: 2023-2024 season

[OldCraig71]

Leafs pulling the goalie in a last ditch effort for #70 for Matty Boy.

And it failed, who would have guessed it?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Matthews gets shut down by both Florida teams, and stalls at 69 goals.

 

[Habano]

Awww, Nostrildamus didn't get 70

 

[sheed36]

I was kinda hoping Matty Boy was gonna get #70 because his father in the stands wanted it so badly. Not nearly as badly as Cuthbert did mind you but he still wanted it badly.

Matthews is immensely talented but he has never struck me as someone capable of carrying his team through the playoffs. It's like he is built for the regular season but not the playoffs.

Sportsnet needed that 70th to help with the pain of the collapse against the Bruins but they didn't get it. Hockey Gods right now:

Tavares scored and he looked like someone kicked his dog. Still a great season for Matthews. Something for him to aim for next season.

 

[Chili]

Matthews with 12 shots on net. Oh the agony ha ha

Leafs fans are pissed because Tavares scored instead of getting it into Matthews. Lol

 

[sheed36]

I'm so very sorry your boy didn't get 70 tonight Cuthbert. Here's a hug for you buddy. Cheer up.

As soon as that happened I said Leaf fans pissed at Tavares for scoring. That's not new though.

 

[the valiant effort]

Sid ends the year with 42G, 52A. Do the right thing and force your way to Montréal, bud

 

[Ezpz]

Damn Matthews even choking in the regular season now.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

When the pressure is on, Matthews chokes again.

Him getting 12 SOG and the most ice time of any Leafs' players (including D's) shows the Leafs were more interested in getting that 70 for Matthews than preparing themselves for the playoffs. Could be another short stint in the playoffs even against a not scary Bruins team.

 

[Player 61]

Go Utah(Arizona's last game) Get that 1 point! Moves Montreal up 1 spot! in Draft!

They were also super pissed when there was a delayed penalty coming up and Keefe sent nostrils onto the ice but fortunately (for us), Brodie scored his 1st of the season from the point thus negating the upcoming penalty

100%. They pulled their goalie trailing by 3 goals with approx. 3 minutes left

On one end he did score 69 goals which is insane but man, it feels so typical that he couldn't just pot one more when the pressure was on. Another time where he folds when it matters.

Also, it highlighted that the priorities of the Leafs remain the individual stats of their members. They simply do not get it.

 

[Chili]

Dallas is a well built team, only one player on the current roster under 6 ft (Stankhoven) and just two others under 6'1. They have 8 20 goal scorers, good d and goaltender, they should be a tough out these playoffs.

Lightning were doing the same for Kucherov

I guess I have more leeway for a team that’s proven it can win multiple times…

I get it but the Leafs didn't really didn't have anything else to play for in this game except for staying healthy. I think us fans, myself included look into areas that don't really matter that much. The Leafs won't win or lose their series against Boston based on how they played tonight

Yeah it does not matter in the grand scheme… but these twats pulled the goalie while down three to get him the magic number… I mean COME ON

I’d have felt good for his parents.

Other than that… onto the first round exit. (I hope.)
