Post-Game Talk: Pretenders get a shutout victory

[MapleLeafs9]

So many god damn idiots on the main board LOL. Christ.

 

[stickty111]

The Leafs were arguably outplayed in both those games by that heavy team.

Your just wrong.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

So you're saying I shouldn't say anything good about our team non-stars after dominating a good team because for 4 games they didn't do that? So should I then forget the other 10 games? Or did you not remember them?

The entire team played a great game. But let’s not suggest it was the coaching or the plugs that were mainly responsible.

 

[Liminality]

Rielly is absolutely one of our leaders on and off the ice. He's got to be in contention for that C.

True, coaching can only have a negative impact.

Am I doing that right?

 

[meefer]

It's so bad. I get being upset but the bellyaching is too much

Now Salt, you've got to let them develop in their own way, you can't stifle them or they'll lose confidence in who they are.

 

[meefer]

Yeah, I've had to cut them, at least for now. They take quite a bit of time to write, and require absolute focus during the games for me to do them justice. I just haven't had the time, unfortunately.

C'est la vie. Cheers.

“Your” opinion may be valid, or maybe “you’re” wrong.

A solid team effort and a good example of how our defense is much better when the forward group supports the D. I'd love me a solid #2 on the right side for this team, but when the forwards are hustling back, contributing in our zone, don't create too large a gap for safe exit passes, cover their assignments with dedication...mmmm, our D group has a chance and Freddy's game suddenly becomes much easier. More of this please.

Its been a problem. They seem to be working on it this year. Fix the Scotiabank Arena BAD ICE. Maybe Babs can work on his matchups and lay off the Brown and Hyman, still think Leivo needs a sniff of top 6 just to see. Johnsson still isn't very good sadly.

 

[Sittler 27]

Best effort so far this season, start to finish

 

[MJ65]

Please look at this - so funny

 

[Liminality]

Thing that pops out to me are the hits and the turnovers.
Goes to show when you don't have the puck you hit more.

 

[Duffman955]

Babcock with an excellent game plan.

We stiffled the Pens offense and created our chances off the break

 

[Alerion]

Phenomenal game tonight, best of the season by far.

No, but this game doesn’t negate all of Babcock’s warts this season?

Actually the leafs often get out hit and out possessed in the same game.

 

[Liminality]

No it doesn't, it's just funny seeing people squirm when they see people give compliments to Babcock.

 

[Gallagbi]

No single game will, but you can't blame him for every loss and not praise after wins. Doesn't work that way.

Coach did his job and the plugs did theirs. Team win as usual.
You suggested that this one victory wasn't enough to imply the coach and the plugs are not good so I pointed out that it's actually 10 games if I discount the 4 games you say they were not good

 

[hockeyes]

Regarding Babcock and this game, don't forget Pittsburgh has also struggled at home so it might not be half the statement game some are suggesting.

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Winnipeg Jets, 2018-10-24

Again, you might have a different idea on who outplayed who but I think you'd find the majority think we outplayed the Jets.

 

[saltming]

But most of them are gud posters. They eat right post right but they need to be professionals on and off the boards

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

14 games in and Rielly already has as many goals as all of last year. I'd be surprised if he ends up with under 15

 

[Gallagbi]

Thought the word was out on how did best us? Did Sullivan just forget to tell his team?

Good things happen when Babs hasus engaging and being pro active. I liked the game as well, was entertaining but I think at the same time Pits was pretty flat and disjointed if not rattled by the end.
