Post-Game Talk: Well.. at least we scored? Leafs lose 3-1. Onto St Louis.

[Amadeus]

This is the 4th collapse is the past 4 seasons for these guys.

How can you root for these guys?

 

[IAmBobo]

Once again, Reimer is the only star.

 

[AuraSphere]

This is what I hate about the Leafs, we'll never be bad enough to pick top 3, and just remain mediocore bad with mediocore level first round picks (Well aside from the Nylander hype going on).

If only we didnt go on that winning stretch... McDavid could be a possibility ~_~

 

[Teeder9]

And for all of you Bozak haters...

He did get a shot on goal tonight. So, he is far better than his haters think. He did get a shot on goal in california.

It's sad when that's all you had

Reports saying that Franson was limping badly.

Could be ANOTHER injury

 

[Giuseppe Sallo]

I'm so glad we collapsed before the trade deadline.

I think this is it, we're FINALLY going to be sellers at the deadline!

Will Nonis be gone as well? He can join his buddy in Calgary.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Mirtle doesn't think we can get the 5th overall pick.
but 6 is good.

 

[Rayban*]

I never thought i could question my loyalty to this team. Been watching since i was 7 years old.
And i'll admit i over react to the bad times, but it's too much. If Nonis and this core finish this season i'm done.

If Shannahan is any smarter, he'd fire Nonis so he's not at the helm at the trade deadline. This guy is the definition of conservative. Not the right guy to run the trade deadline.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Not sure why Dion was made captain.

he changed the music, and played it loud.

 

[Rayzorexe]

The Tank is on full force!

 

[Rayban*]

Cool maybe he'll but hurt until he's a UFA. Another example on Nonis being a genius.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

That's the thing with waiting till the TD. Guys could get injured. Shanahan's gonna have to play this right

 

[Rayzorexe]

false sense of hope early in the season? Well once you're a fan of the team, you don't really ever stop cheering/hating them at the same time.

I'm surprised people still get so emotionally invested and then pissed off at this point ... It's pretty clear that this team is going no where, there is no need to be upset!

San Jose owned them on the draw tonight:

Bozak: 5/15 (25%)
Kadri: 6/14 (30%)
Smith: 1/7 (12.5%)

BUT

Carrick: 3/4 (75%)

Sammy was our best faceoff guy - great game from him overall .. Making a case for more ice time

Franson wants us to draft Strome. that's sweet.
(serious though I hope he's okay)

lets hope it is minor, he is the D man that is trade-able...

That he did. Don't know if we should laugh or cry that we get excited about a shot on net.

 

[Swervin81]

Shark fans giving lots of respect to Reimer.

 

[FlareKnight]

Really the only comfort is that it should get easier to make the call to be as much sellers at the deadline as we can be.

Some good moments here and there. But this was pretty well Reimer having to save the day to make this look close.

 

[mikeyz]

Ferraro and Cuthbert/Miller on TSN might be better commentators then Romanuk and company on Sportsnet, but my god I will take the SN panel over TSN'S.

Duthie, O'Neil and Ward are kissing the Leafs ass and calling this a good pushback!!! Lol.

At least Kypreos and Maclean call it like it is..

 

[binop7]

Visually improving

 

[King Leaf]

McDavid! (but more realistically, Strome!) 6 more games in January, if we go 2-4 I have to imagine management is really spooked.

 

[Rare Jewel]

With any luck they could've got another goal, But even still, What a mess.

- JVR/Bozak/Kessel doesn't work
- Phaneuf was terrible, Franson about the same.
- Gardiner skates beautifully, Can't shoot the puck properly.


Santo, Winnik and Polak deserve props for their play, But other than that not much else stands out.

Carrick actually given his TOI was very good as well.

 

[showtime8]

When your best line was Santorelli - Kadri - Winnik, you know you're in trouble.
