Post-Game Talk: There's Nothin' Fin-ah than losing to Carolina, Leafs 1, Canes 4

[TheLeafsBro]

Trade everyone. Fire everyone. Blow the team up. Tank for McDavid. Etc etc etc...

Or lets just come out better and compete harder next game

 

[The Winter Soldier]

If Leafs don't beat the Flyers on Sat, then people should start worrying. A 7 game road trip after Sat's game.

I know what this team is, even when we were in the 10 game highpoint of the season.

Dec-Jan will test the resolve of some fans here.

Take a deep breath! I'm worried about your cardiovascular health.

Okay bud.

Yeah, you don't wanna face reality just yet!!!

 

[PuckMagi]

I liked the look of the new lines better

 

[ECanuck]

This should be somewhere in the leafs dressing room.

IMO Philly game has the potential to be another stinker.

Hopefully Gardiner has a big game on Saturday. Perhaps we can trade him to the Flyers to join that other over-rated dud of a young D-man we stuck them with.

 

[happyaccident]

Gardiner actually made a lot of very nice offensive plays.
His problem is that he can't play a stitch of defense. Which, once again, makes me wonder why on earth he even plays that position? It's like putting Clarkson at center.

Don't give RC any ideas.

Unfortunately the Leafs really are like a bag of trail mix. You can get anything from what you want to what you don't.

This was definitely one of those "don't want" kind of games.

They played like garbage here so they should get ripped as much as they do for it. They certainly shouldn't get praised for playing badly.

Santorelli was awesome cycling in that 3rd period

 

[jstaal]

smh

Was a fun game. Just too bad you guys couldn't pull it out.

And you call yourself a canes fan?

 

[Morguee]

Leafs are like a box of chocolates...

 

[ECanuck]

Except almost everyone knew what we were going to get. I used the greatest trick to the brain. Denial, denial, denial but reality struck again.

wouldn't hurt to try putting him as a forward at least for one game.

This game was a solid meh.

Next game's response will be more telling of how this team will fare for the rest of the season. Good thing the Hurricanes are so bad though... wouldn't want to face them in the playoffs. Also watch Cam Ward come back down to Earth after this game.

The guy is an absolute must-sign. They can deal with the rest of the budget afterwards but they have to get this guy locked up.

2 years. 3 years max. He gives it all every shift and he'll deteriorate.

 

[mikeyz]

I saw this coming, but dear lord, what the hell, man?

It's not the fact that we lost a game it's who and when....

The Canes were on pace to break a record for fewest goals since the dead puck Era.

FFS! This team is the ultimate Jekyll and Hyde squad!

 

[91Stammer*]

Why the ******* can't we just tank for McDavid? These pieces of S*** ain't gonna do jack s***.

Oh, Him and Kadri are magic. If JVR can provide some more finish on the that line. They're pretty much the new no.1 line.

 

[p.l.f.]

Santorelli gets it. And it's rubbing off on Kadri playing beside him
I'm all for Winnik or Komarov on the Bozak Kessel line - Maybe their cycling tenacity could rub off on them too

 

[HellasLEAF]

JVR and Kessel should not be on the same line 5 on 5.

Drop JVR to the 3rd. Keep him top pp.

 

[91Stammer*]

Let Winnik play on top line and JVR on 2nd. Carlyle should be fire ASAP. BURN THE BOATS along with GM, Coach, players.

 

[p.l.f.]

yeah....

Winnik Bozak Kessel
JVR Kadri Santorelli
Lupul Holland Komarov
Booth Smith Clarkson
