Post-Game Talk: We have no Issues with Quick... Jones on the Other Hand.. 2-0 Leafs Lose

[WilliamNylander]

The sooner people realize playoffs are likely out of reach because the fired the stubborn ape far too late the better they'll feel about results.

The most important thing this season to erase everything that disgusting coach did. It's a work in progress but they waited far, far too long before making the most obvious decision in hockey.

But they're going the right way now.

This. We waited to long to fire that buffoon.

But seeing this team play at this level is a huge positive for me

 

[Peasy]

Leafs should have won this one.

They actually played the right way... It's not fair...

You serious? How many games have we've been extremely out played and won in the past 2 season?

 

[p.l.f.]

We definetly need more size, at every position

 

[-DeMo-]

Never had 3 strong defensive games in a row like this once under Coach McNugget.

u mean 2 games? They gave up 6 vs washington

 

[uncleben]

AUGH why do I still have the tv on, Kypreos sucks so much

 

[Donald McRonald]

Guys worked their ***** off tonight, give me more of that. Kypreos being a dick tonight.

 

[Paradoc]

Reilly needs to sit next game! Bring in Holzer.

Except Rielly and Clarkson. Rielly is not making any strides so far at all. Jake had a better game.

I'm gonna assume you guys didn't watch the game..

 

[Pyrophorus]

Tankers love this.

Leafs play great and lose.

 

[Purity*]

Unfortunately playing the right way involves scoring some goals. It's good they are cutting down on the shots, but if going hyper defense means not enough shots themselves and no goals....we're still going in the same direction. It's nice we held the Kings to 20 shots....but we had less than 20 ourselves.

There are some positives to take from it. But not that many. One should not be happy about being shut out and barely being in the first period.

This is different. We already know this team can score goals, it's the defense that's the biggy. We lost in a very opposite fashion than what we are used to tonight.

Seriously, screw Randy Carlyle. He crippled this team so bad.

 

[Pyrophorus]

u mean 2 games? They gave up 6 vs washington

...and out shot them, outpossesed them, &c.

 

[Al14]

I'm gonna assume you guys didn't watch the game..

I WATCHED the game! Reilly should have too! That giveaway was BAD!

 

[91Stammer*]

All the creativity with puck from Rielly have disappeared this season, looking at Doughty I realized what a great dman can do. I hope Rielly is not a bust at NHL. Trouba, Lindholm, Murray and Maattaa all look far more impressive at this point in their 2nd/3rd season.

 

[uncleben]

u mean 2 games? They gave up 6 vs washington

possession and shots though were WAY better.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Really hope this Clarkson on the PP experiment is over once Holland/Lupul come back...

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

some people will be upset Leafs played a great game

keep it up boys

We're stuck in no mans land. Won't win enough to make playoffs anyway too much ground to make up

 

[Wafflewhipper]

This is the same **** soft team that quit on the last coach to get him fired. ****ing losers. Kypreos, said lots of players didn't want him back. So the slimey losers quit on him. Quite the bunch of gutless pukes. Kessel knows where the defensive zone is all the sudden. Wow, wonder how that happened all the sudden. **** I can't stand this teams pukes.

Still played a strong defensive game, just had a few glaring wtfs that all ended up in our net.

No need to give up yet. There's is a ton of season left, and our schedule eases up considerably over the last third of the year after this roadie.

 

[Liminality]

Except Rielly and Clarkson. Rielly is not making any strides so far at all. Jake had a better game.

Rielly played the 3rd most minutes for the Leafs dmen, he was bound to make a couple mistakes. He's still learning and developing, growing pains come and go. These are the moments we'll have to live with if the Leafs truly go for a full rebuild at some point.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Props to all you folks out east who stayed up for this one

Daisy is sleepy

What else is new. Trade our 1st in this year's draft... watch us win the lottery!

We are just so cursed!

 

[King85Kong]

Kadri was %74 on the dot tonight. Well done.

3pts?

 

[Wafflewhipper]

People should chant losers,losers at home games. The tickets are paid for so don't go there and get disappointed. Bust their arses until they fire nonuts.

When teams grab the lead early they can play a lot more conservatively and just wait for mistakes as they no longer need to push the pace, Washington played almost the entire game with the lead. Where as teams who are losing need to take more chances generally leads to more possession.
