Post-Game Talk: Welcome to the Leafs Killers Club Aleksander Barkov Jr. | Leafs Lose 4-3 in OT

[Critical13]

high danger chances were 18-4 for the Leafs at 5v5. I don't think they deserved anything but a win. Andersen was awful though. out played by a 39 year old with like a .900 sv% on the year

We’re stryong to look like Carolina. Win that stats battle, lose the war.

Another very good game by Jake

 

[Legendary]

Rielly is still overrated garbage. His hot start was starting to fool me.

 

[ElbowLander]

Andersen wont own it either. He never says he played bad

Stop blaming the goalie after every loss. The team didn't play good for 40 minutes, and the defence was a tire fire once again. The PP didn't score once again, etc.

Don't get me wrong, Freddy is a great goalie.
He will steal you some games and stop 45 shots while doing it ...

But he is not clutch. He does not make the big save with the game on the line ...
Not now, and not in the playoffs.

 

[thewave]

Good game, get em next time boys.

 

[ponder]

Frustrating game. Guess we got a point at least?

what the f*** are you talking about?

 

[Superstar]

That was on Andersen
Goaltending 101 it's a 1 on 1 come out and challenge the shooter. Instead he sits deep in his net and goes down early

That was on Rielly, he should have stayed in the middle instead of hanging his goalie out to dry.

 

[BTP]

need to be better agains tour own division.

grub ass teams like this should be getting routed out of the building.

but its very noticable every team gives us their A+ game. that was Floridas best game of the year by a mile

 

[Suntouchable13]

Silver lining is we got a point we did not deserve at all

I am not taking any consolation in this. 4 straight losses to divisional teams.

 

[The Kessel Run]

I think you also have to give Barkov credit for a siiiick move.

 

[MSZ]

How many full 60 minutes has this team played this season? Philly?

NJ and Philly.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Can we get a petition going to remove Hughson from Leafs broadcasts? Please? Its torture.

 

[FlareKnight]

We’re stryong to look like Carolina. Win that stats battle, lose the war.

If we won the stats battle in this game then the stats are worthless. Badly outplayed for the majority of this game. The result is what it should have been.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I love Kappy and Marner.

Loser point for loser effort for the rest

Freddy is so inconsistent that it’s hard to ever trust him to make a save.

Totally agree, we can't just show up for 10 mins.
But come on, what was Freddy's save percentage when it counted there?

 

[Azazel]

Who is responsible for handling defensive decisions by the players?

 

[Burnie97]

We got 1 point. After the 1st 2 periods I'll take that.

Lol at people saying Andersen is trash. Are you f***ing kidding. No goal was his fault tonight.

Matthews didn't play great but

Matthews>>>>> Barkov ... and I don't care if he got a hat trick. Matthews is better.

Seriously .... the odd Leaf fans flip flop because of 1 game. .. or even 5. It's a 82 game season. It's embarrassing. Stop.

 

[hockeyes]

Hey, Babcock "can't make adjustments" shuffles the line-up in the 3rd period and the Leafs almost pulled one out of the hat. Welp, got a point.

Good thing he made an adjustment on the power play before they went 1 for 20 or something.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Just think without Kadri taking that stupid to many men on theice penalty they would have won this.

another game where Kadri is at worst a negative impact player and at best a no impact player

 

[MattySnipes]

That was on Rielly, he should have stayed in the middle instead of hanging his goalie out to dry.

Yeah everyone and my grandma knew Huby was going back to Barkov

 

[GoonieFace]

These threads should be called Post game hot takes. What a bunch of nonsense people spew on here

 

[Myopic]

Leafs gain possession in their own end and then (whoever it was) made a super difficult pass along the boards to a winger which caused a turnover leading to the goal. Andy played like shit again.
