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

[BertCorbeau]

More impressive killed a lengthy 5 on 3 when the game was tied in the third to get a point.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Was a good game until the shenanigans at the end. I don't even care that we lost, how the hell is that Foligno knee to the head of Campbell not called? The NHL needs to grow some balls and have the refs answer questions post-game. In 99.9% of jobs you're accountable, NHL refs are never called out, ever.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Why use Tavares in the shootout when you can use Ondrej Kase?

Yeah that was odd

 

[Superstar]

That was a great hockey game. NHL should adapt the NFL rule that a game cannot end on a penalty. That is, the Leafs should have been allowed to play out the full 2 minutes of their PP at the end of OT.

Yep, because you could literally mug an opponent in the dying seconds of OT and don't care because it's going to a shootout.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Turned it off when it went to shootout.

I dislike them thoroughly

 

[Stephen]

Refs gifted us a powerplay in overtime. Why don't you man up and admit the Wild were the better team tonight. Good game, rest up on the flight to Winnipeg

Spezza could have a broken hand from a slash like that. How is that a gifted PP?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Yeah that was odd

Kase was 7/15 in his career so far

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Can't win them all. As far as losses go, at least they got a point and were the better team

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Minnesota was the MUCH better team. Shot totals don't tell the story, Leafs were shit 3/4ths of the entire game.

Not sure what you were watching. Felt like an even game and all the stats back it up

 

[mikeyz]

I said this in the GDT and I will say it again here.

When we play these f***s again in Toronto, I hope Keefe dresses Clifford and gives him the modern day Ferguson/Bobby Clarke to Karlamov talk on the bench.

Kase was 7/15 in shootouts.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Kase visor so tinted of course he didn't score..only ovi can do that

 

[SprDaVE]

It was a fun and hard fought game. Hard to be disappointed. That was without Marner as well.

Tomorrow will be interesting to say the least.

 

[Teeder Keon]

The key is tomorrows game
How will we respond
I think we will do great

 

[Gabriel426]

Good character game.
Really hope Shanny and company complains about the refs bc they just took over the game.

 

[saffronleaf]

More impressive killed a lengthy 5 on 3 when the game was tied in the third to get a point.

and the pp coming through with a minute left in the second. very crucial.

 

[Kiwi]

I'll take the point

We fell into a hole early but we fought our way out of it and gained ourselves a point against a good team on opposition ice

This certainly isn't the end of the world for us, plenty of positives to take out of the game

 

[7even]

Worst game in like 2 weeks, come back from 0-3, kill off an almost 2min 5-on-3, lose the extra point in the coin flip. I take those.

 

[WatchOut]

Holl really needs to get his shit together, a few plays where he had all the time in the world to move the puck but turns it over.

Love reilly but him being a no threat on the blueline on the powerplay is an issue imo, doesn't open up matthews enough or force defenders to move around. Fun games overall

 

[TheBeastCoast]

When we play these f***s again in Toronto, I hope Keefe dresses Clifford and gives him the modern day Ferguson/Bobby Clarke to Karlamov talk on the bench.

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

 

[LadyLala]

Proud of the way they battled back, shootouts are a disgrace, ending up with a point is better than most of us were expecting when we were down by 3.

 

[mcleex]

Kase was 7/15 in his career so far

Not to mention it's a frickin shootout. Literally anyone can score or miss. There's no right or wrong. The whole thing is just a crapshoot

 

[Alerion]

Refs gifted us a powerplay in overtime. Why don't you man up and admit the Wild were the better team tonight. Good game, rest up on the flight to Winnipeg

Did you watch the green through a green lens? Moneypuck has a slight edge for the Leafs

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

I thought we were gonna lose after seeing us down 3 nothing so I'm not losing sleep we got 1 point

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Kase was 7/15 in his career so far

That is great but John Tavares

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Can’t really complain, hard fought tie and the power play would have won it had the refs stopped calling penalties after giving the Wild nearly a full two minute two man advantage.
