Post-Game Talk (GBU): We forgot to trade for bounces

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

I think there's a huge psychological/mental reason for the collapse.

Work hard, harder, get a goal, sigh of relief, loosen up, concede one, fall apart.
Work hard, concede, get down, fall apart.

Getting scored on is going to be part of the game as long as hockey is decided by who scores more goals than the other team. They need to figure out how to keep at their game plan.


JK Sobotka Scandella all day everyday!

 

[Kyndig]

Tyler Ennis scored against us? What the actual ****.

Breakaway on a defensive line change.

 

[Gabrielor]

If Housley is a coach of any kind, I expect to see way fewer successful home-run stretch passes work Saturday, as that was their only plan for a large part of the game.

[CrazyPsycho]

Good guy Bogo

Maybe he should go play for them

 

[enthusiast]

G: Eichel, Reinhart, 4th line

B: Defense, others

U: Housley

We out chanced them 30-28 at 5v5.

So not all is lost.

Risto was awful. They didn't want to play montour tonight because of the travel. Are you f***ing kidding me? Montour at 50%>>>>>Hunwick+Scandella combined.

Pains me to say I would rather have Lindy Ruff then any of the clowns who have succeeded him. This team needs a harsher voice behind the bench. so sick of this team allowing a goal then getting shellacked and allowing even more right away.

Jack does not deserve this shit. Thank god hes here for 7 more years should hopefully make the playoffs by 2025. Playoffs are over. This team is not winning 14 of 20.

 

[enthusiast]

There's a skeleton of a good team here. It just needs some trimming and different management.

"Moral victories guys" - Kyle Okposo says to the guys in the dressing room.

There have been a few regulation losses recently where they’ve actually played well enough to win but didn’t. It’s frustrating definitely, but the team is miles better than they were last season.

 

[Royal Thunder]

Our core players are all over the scoresheet tonight which is awesome. Not much to be overly unhappy with about this game, the unfortunate truth is that bulk of the roster is still in a major need of upgrading. 2C better be the focus of the offseason.

Really excited to see Montour tomorrow

It's clear they're doing some things right, but the biggest issue on this team is a lack of talent up front.

 

[zbubble]

Sums up what we've all been seeing

They let in one and all hell breaks loose. Do we need to call a timeout after 1 goal by the opposition?

Save the timeout, change the goalie.

 

[OkimLom]

Not hard to see why we crumble so easily. The ease in which we let teams gain our blueline and lack of structure to support each other just leads to a constant wave of momentum from the other team.

This team’s in ability to stop any momentum is as much mental as it is a result of how we are coached and what is requested by our team system.

Good:
Eichel was dominant. Scary to think he'd only be the fifth or sixth best player on that Leafs team.
Reinhart
Skinner
Dahlin

Bad:
Pominville missing grade A chances
Ristolainen was a bum after the first intermission
Hutton has been a let down
The defense at large flushed the game down the toilet in the span of a few minutes
Zemgus hasn't been able to buy a goal since like 2014 or something

Ugly
It's amazing how Ennis can find a niche but Okposo is completely useless.
We'd fare much better with DOR/Smith than TT/Sobadka

Eichel 5th or 6th?

He'd put up 150 points on that leafs team! That team won't flub chance after chance that he hands to them on a silver platter like ours did tonight

 

[Chainshot]

System? This team has no functioning system defensively. Fill needs to go.

 

[sufferer]

It was tongue in cheek.

 

[Snippit]

Toronto truly has the worst collection of posters on HFBoards.

Some of the posts in their PGT are actually alarming. I can't believe people carry that much hatred over a hockey game.

Pretty sad.

 

[Tatre]

The Captain was awesome, had good demeanor post game too. It's not really a horrible loss considering the talent gap of these rosters, but it hurts that they almost made something good happen.

I don't drink, felt hungover watching that game.

Now rally against Philly; they don't always play great defense either.

Our biggest meltdown of the year was vs Philly

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Ooooooof

 

[Tatre]

Ooooooof

I think Skinner is at like -90 career, still a flawed stat but I'm not arguing with ya

Our biggest meltdown of the year was vs Philly

f***, can I have one night's sleep?
