Post-Game Talk: Wild beat Leafs 4-3 in shootout

[Niagara Bill]

We did ok, didn't give up, but a little disappointed in toughness. Simmonds cannot be our only step up guy. Holl, Ritchie better figure it out soon. Both are expendable.
If Holl won't step up, then just play Lily, if Ritchie doesn't, might as well put skill on the ice.

I hope foligno gets a suspension for coming off the bench. I don't think he should get one for that play. However running our goalie like that deserves something. So 10 games for coming off the bench sounds good to me. f***er

 

[Amadeus]

Running our goalie was not a suspension, but I was appalled it wasn't a penalty. I would have been okay losing the game in overtime if it meant sending a message to him and doing the same to their goalie.

It was a little disappointing no one went after him there.

I still can’t believe everyone just watched our goalie get destroyed. Campbell is our prized possession. Pretty disgusted by everyone actually.

Imagine if Holl wasn't a piece of shit and was good at his job

Y'all just keep on keepin on, y'hear!

I like Minnesota fans. Solid hockey fans

Like a lot of Canadians they grow up playing the game, it's always easier to be a fan when you know what a hockey bag smells like and you know the sounds of sharp skates digging into a fresh sheet of ice.

Turned it off when it went to shootout.

I dislike them thoroughly

But, but Gary says that the fan's love em and that 'muricans don't understand ties or like em for that matter!

f*** that bring up 6'9 Douglas from the Marlies to introduce himself to Foligno the proper way.

You need to listen to Gary he says that the fans don't like that rough stuff, full stop. Those same fans btw all came out of their seats once the gloves hit the ice.

Last week when Landeskog dropped em with a Preds Dman and the guy folded up like a cheap suitcase 2 punches in, Bissonette says, and I quote "did ya see it, the guy turned total pansy!" I was mortified, you cannot use that word as a verb under any circumstance!

I thought for sure he'd get bounced the next day.

"I hope he gets suspended for coming off the bench but I don't think he should"

How does this make any sense?

I usually watch the away feed, gives more perspective on the team the Leafs are facing. The Wild commentators entire analysis boiled down to repeating "drag the Leafs into a physical game" so yea, that is usually code for take so many liberties you'll get away with most.

When they play Minny and the Leafs feed is on Sportsnet you have to turn the sound off.

 

[therealkoho]

The Leafs are 4-8 all time in St. Paul including this game.

What about the North Stars?

 

[Nineteen67]

Why nobody beat the cr.p out of foligno for hitting soup’s head? I am sure reaves would have dealt with him. Or any other team for that matter. Both bros suck.

That’s the elephant in the room.

 

[therealkoho]

The Alfie-Spezza-Heatley line still gives me nightmares.

Hossa Spezza Heatley were also a treat, I had a front row seat for all those years, they were a scoring machine. Always great though watching the Bud's drop them in the playoffs though.

 

[Nineteen67]

Keefe being diplomatic about that BS non-call on Foligno running Campbell. I doubt he cares much about the fine, but God knows these thin-skinned zebras would go out of their way to call nothing for us if Keefe really laid into them and their incompetence.

Hate when posts get deleted and my post gets bumped to the bottom of a page instead of near the top.

He can’t control the refs, but he can control his players.

 

[therealkoho]

Dubas, Shanahan, Keefe got away with this imbecilic insert and substitution, but...

Sit this bum down...

Took him a year, to get a haircut, its time for him to be displayed in a lower league...

Haircut?

 

[MSZ]

What about the North Stars?

29-42-7 including two playoff series in the 80s.

"I hope he gets suspended for coming off the bench but I don't think he should"

How does this make any sense?

Hoping he gets suspended and thinking that he should be are two very different things. Also since he wasn't penalized for running Campbell getting suspended for leaving the bench would be great.

Yep , Minny has always been a dark and dangerous place for our Bud's, it's kind of like Carolina has been for them. I call it the "Curse of Stew Gavin!"

 

[Nineteen67]

Kerfoot tip-toed around him and could have given him a suspension, and took one himself.

 

[Notsince67]

Glad they picked up a point considering the scoreline. PP1 looks more crisp with Spezza there instead of Marner, gives the team another shooting option also.

The first couple were train wrecks. It wasnt that they couldnt hold the pucks in, it was that they were shooting their own puck out of the ozone

If you are going to include the 80's, I'd think our record is similar against everybody. What an atrocious decade that was.

 

[Legion34]

Watched the game this morning.

leafs were the better team.
The bounces Against Jack were ridiculous.
Should have been a penalty for running Jack and out of game for the coming off the bench.

but the spezza penalty seemed kinda weak? But h isn’t a diver so….dunno.

Good game all around. Didn’t give up. Lost in a skills competition.

 

[Beaumaris]

The Alfie-Spezza-Heatley line still gives me nightmares.

I used to drool with envy watching them.Never had a bad word for Spezza,still my favorite.

 

[deprw]

It was a little disappointing no one went after him there.

It was odd in altogether. Our goalie is on his back inside goal and no whistle from referees. Then no penalty and no one from our side don't go after Foligno. Like that play never happened, to anyone else than Campbell. I'm disappointed that Rielly didn't go after Foligno straight after.

He clearly got slashed in the hands. It was 100% a penalty, but I think due to his reaction, people thought it was a high-stick (I did too because it looked like he was clutching his face at first, but he was cradling his hand when he was walking off). They thought he was faking because it was nowhere near his face, but that wasn't what he was reacting to anyways.

 

[The90]

Yup, want to see Simmonds KO him. That is complete BS…running Jack like that and direct contact was the head! How is Foligno not getting suspended? WTF. It is going to have to be addressed next game vs the Wild.

Simmonds Ritchie or Clifford lol. When’s the last time the leafs had 3 guys to take care of business when needed.

You want rielly of all people to be going after foligno? At that point in the game it’s not worth it. You go for the win and get him next game.
