Post-Game Talk: [TOR/CHI] Leafs lose In OT 2-1

[Jimmy Firecracker]

A point at least. Could've had the second but as always, questionable personnel decisions in OT by Babcock. Biggest head scratcher being no Nylander obviously.

End of the night we're as ahead of the Islanders and Lightning as we were at the beginning. Good enough.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

That was a great game. We gave the Hawks pretty much all they could handle.

If we keep playing at this level and Andersen maintains his form, we'll win our easier match ups coming up and lock up that 2nd WC spot.

Babcock still making moronic line decisions in OT.

 

[Alfie]

nylander definitely shoulda seen time in OT over Hyman and Brown

I agree but did you see the job Hyman did on Kane? That's why Hyman was out there.

 

[Budsfan]

 

[yubbers]

Why doesn't he play his best players 3-3??????????

He doesn't play his best players 5-5

 

[Sniper99]

****
I hate Andersen.

Take a walk chief. Why do you blame him.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Tough loss but at least we got a point, wasn't that offside?

 

[Paradoc]

Tired of Babcock putting inefficient players in OT, when you need more of Nylander's ability to win.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Great game, great ot.

But someone needs to straight up ask babs about no willy in ot. There is literally NO logical reason for not putting nylander out. And especially since this isn't the first time. Like you ****ing kidding me babs? How do you justify that nonsense?

 

[notdoneyet]

****
I hate Andersen.

Andersen was the only reason it went to overtime
Give your head a shake

 

[The List Of Jericho]

I'll take the point. Wasn't expecting it. Andersen came up short though, we didn't give them many scoring chances.

Crawford stopped two breakaways and multiple other chances. Wish he could have got that save but who am I kidding we would lose in SO so it doesn't matter.

Andersen stopped Kane point blank, you really blame Andersen for a 2 on 1 goal lol

 

[canadon]

Ok, got an important point. Now needva big W against the Bruins next.

 

[genk]

Tough loss but at least we got a point, wasn't that offside?

Yeah it was :/

 

[burpsalot]

Did Nylander even see the ice in ot? Bozak and Komarov getting extended looks,
However..

Nylander was on for 24 secs

 

[realgoodleafs]

What did Nylander do to not deserve any PT in OT

He got one shift. Same as Hyman but he should have had multiple shifts. It seems like Babcock doesn't care at all about OT or the shootout.

 

[stickty111]

Take a walk chief. Why do you blame him.

He misses callapse Reimer

 

[Hymanbrah]

I'll take the point

Ahh yes, there's that loser mentality again.

 

[EXPECT THE LEAFS]

leafs players get too deep 3vs3 allowing too many rushes the other way.

 

[Bagge]

****
I hate Andersen.

What a shocker

 

[MoreMogilny]

I'm assuming you are talking of Nylander and I don't think I saw him on the ice at all.

Yeah that's what I mean. Nylander was buzzing all night. He generated so many chances and was flying all night. He should have been on in OT.

 

[Alfie]

I'm ticked off about this game honestly. Constantly pissing away points in extra time.

Don't watch anymore.

 

[mrJT]

****in Jammy ********!

What a great game, back n forth. Matthews played awesome. Totally dominant.

Andersen is playing outstanding Hockey right now, please keep it going!!

 

[Moncherry]

I actually can't believe he didn't put Nylander out. What the ****. What. The. ****.

 

[Scherzo]

Nylander was on for the second shift in OT... Don't like the fact he didn't get the last one though.

 

[Pi]

Toews, Kane and Panarin were pretty much out for the entire OT. We didn't even have Nylander, who's been our best player over the last few weeks out.

I don't think Nylander has played more minutes in the whole season in OT that Kane an Toews played combined in this one.

Babcock needs to take some pointers from Q. He waited too long to split Rielly and Zaitsev and he's not playing our best player in the most crucial games.
