Post-Game Talk: Play like this Every Game! - Leafs 2, Caps 3

[HarrisonFord]

The only question I have is are we being bad for Ekblad, or showing no heart for Reinheart?

 

[Faltorvo]

Well atleast they tried?

 

[lebdafor norris]

I Don't care if they played with tons of effort this game, the fact that they blew a 1 goal lead in the 3rd period AGAIN, is just frustrating to watch.

 

[The Kessel Run]

If we play like that consistently, we are certainly a playoff team.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

I never knew they even played till I walked into a sports store and they were airing it on leafs tv

 

[bunjay]

Grabovski looked better than any of our centres

This is a little heartbreaking. I want the playoffs so bad after what happened last year.

Yep. I was so convinced we'd be a stronger team for having gone through that. Instead it seems like it's becoming a part of our team's identity that we can't tighten up and hold a lead.

neither! we're making the playoffs, damn it!

[ekblad please. imagine him w/Rielly?]

The effort was there, the results not.

Still beats the previous 3 games where there is no chance in hell of winning.....

The worst part is, this team shows up for a period or two then doesn't show up again..

Colton Orr needs to fight more though. The team difference between our team before and after those fights were night and day.

Fun game to watch, finally I was entertained.

Tough loss. As soon as I saw Gunnar's weak clearing attempt I told my girls it'll end up in the net.

Telling Orr he needs to fight more is a difficult task for him to fulfill. It takes an opponent willing to drop the gloves and give him someone to fight! A lot of the NHL teams are now backing away from engaging the Leafs for fights, because, they want to avoid the rush it gives his teammates that allows them to play bigger. The intimidation factor is diminished by not allowing anyone to fight a Leafs enforcer.
