"Gave them the day off yesterday - that won't happen again"
"Clune was our best player"
- Babcock

lol

Just give him Stamkos, gees.

 

[garce]

I wouldn't say that his glove hand is still really strong.

I could count at least 3 or 4 times where he tried to catch it in his glove and it bounced out or deflected off the tip.

i wouldn't say really strong either. But it's gone from absolutely frightening to average.

Just give him Stamkos, gees.

I think he has already asked for Stamkos by his comments after the last game.

He only said Ovie.

 

[Trapper]

Actually if you listen closely, I think he is saying Matthews.

 

[Snow Dog]

He only said Ovie.

he can't say Stamkos,that's tampering.

 

[HellasLEAF]

solid showing tonight. took a bit but hung in there and gave a great effort in front of the home crowd on a special night.

In most games. We play pretty good but always have slow starts for like 10 minutes and than we start playing well. Not sure what it is.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

I want to comment on that OT.

3v3 is just so sick. One whistle? Two?

I would disagree with that.

3rd best, but I get what he's trying to say.

 

[sxvnert]

Babcock is a legend.

Since the first of December we have had mostly better than average goaltending and pretty good output from the talent we have. Slow starts and playing from behind are what bad teams do.

I can only imagine if bernier had that game lol. The tale of cult reimer.
Good team effort.

This post. Just so salty of Reimer's success. Such a small memory of last year that no matter Reimer did it was criticized.

Then throws in the good team effort. Lol.

Oh yes Eb exactly. I think most people here remember his game 7 antics as well. Nothing you say can make that performance justifiable. The reason why we got bernier in the first place was because of game 7. If he gets through that we wouldn't have tried to replace him. But no eb its a massive conspiracy, you are right.

 

[airbus220]

Good to have Holland, we only need another Holland and we win games.

 

[deletethis]

Man, they played hard for the most part (not impressed with Bozak's effort level). I don't think the 2014-15 Leafs' team played any game as hard as last night's effort. It was like a playoff effort.

Marincin's game is picking up.

 

[ACC1224]

I've never been to a game with so many opposing fans in attendance.
Poor Keon, didn't get nearly the applause he deserved. Too many Hab fans sitting on their hands, it was pretty quiet compared to other events.

Yes lets focus on Game 7 and not #1-6 when he was arguably the best player on the ice and the only reason the Leafs got to Game 7 in the first place. And you could blame our lame duck soft defense just as much as Reimer's "rebound control" as you want.

Between Healy and other hack reporters fans bit on the spin that "OH NO THE TEAM WAS FINE, CARLYLE IS GOOD, REIMER IS ALL WE NEEED TO CHANGE TO GET BETTER" and even then, our doofus GM just gets another middling potential goalie instead of just solving the problem, cause he's an idiot. Carlyle is just as much at fault as our D is, didn't bother using his last timeout when he had all the chance in the world to, when his team was panicking and the whole reason he was brought in was to be the veteran playoff guy who could steer the youth through.

But no, it was Reimer's single game performance that lost us the game and not a goalie returning back to earth after carrying the team.

I thought it was pretty good, maybe not the best way to finish a game, but it is better than the shoot out, at least 3-3 is a team game, the shoot out is just an exciting flip of the coin and no way to win or lose a game.

I hate the shootout. I don't call it the shootout, I call it the crap shoot.
Can't blame the boys or Reimer's good work, I don't even consider it a loss, just a tie.

 

[rrc1967]

I do hope you paint Gardner who was deer staring into the highlights on the winning goal in overtime, and the gaffs by Phaneuf, or the fact that the leafs were outshot 18-3 after Toronto scored their 4th goal.

and of course Chara was screening Reimer for most of the rest of that period with any play in the leafs zone.

So do you paint everyone with that brush on game 7? because there was alot of goats - the team basically collapsed and went from forechecking and playing a strong speed game that Boston could not handle, to sitting back and letting Boston come to them.

but CLEARLY it's all the goaltender who at the time just turned 25 a month prior to that .. right?

 

[Clark4Ever]

I thought we pretty much owned them after sleepwalking through the first period. We have to start waking up when the puck drops.

The Habs are in serious trouble.

Meh. If they were facing a better team, they would be down 3 or 4 zip in the first period.

36-7 are the shots in the 1st 10 minutes of the last four Leaf games.
