Post-Game Talk: You get a blown lead! You get a blown lead! Everyone gets a blown lead!

[Shanty]

 

[HarryLime]

Anderson = Raycroft = Toskala

 

[Loosie]

Aren't we at 4 now? Or is only 3.

4, we've played 5 games had the lead in all 5 going into the 3rd period and lost 4 of them, 'fortunately' 3 of them have been in OT.

 

[Pi]

Babcock wants the draft picks. Got outcoached. Q goes with his three best players...we start with Peter Holland. Thought it was a cruel joke.

 

[tp71]

I've never been critical of Babcock but I do have to question his shootout choice of Holland first. And yes even if Holland scores I'd say the same thing just with the caveat the it was fortunate that he scored.

Also these blown leads are getting real old real fast.

Holland is good in the shootout. 5-12 lifetime is a good number.

 

[Riellyfan04]

you people on here act like we are contending for a cup or even playoff spot.... the ****... relax this team just started the rebuild.. getting matthews doesnt make us contenders.. dam

 

[leafers]

Andersen kinda did step it up in ot.

Michalek is pretty useless.

 

[shakes]

Andersen saved our bacon in OT. No clue why Holland got to shoot first and Nylander didn't make the top 3.

So what? They lost anyway. And it because he couldn't lock it down in the third that they were in OT in the first place.

 

[Al14]

Will we ever win a game in regulation this season?

 

[Poignant Discussion*]

This is the pain Babcock was talking about.

Young defense and goaltending struggles.

Someone gets it. You don't need to learn to score. You need to learn to win. It will take time

 

[Territory]

What can really change? They need to be less unlucky. This doesn't even happen to the worst teams. This is a statistical anomaly.

It feels so terrible because they have played so well they deserve to win these games. Like they could very easily be 5-0.

 

[heretik27]

Pavelec is available

The amount of 2 goal leads the Jets have lost in the last 2 years in the 3rd period with Pavelec in net is astounding, he really isn't your answer, or anyone's for that matter.

 

[JoeyBeans]

At the end of OT, I could have sworn I saw a ref skate over to the Hawks bench and mouth "we tried" to Quenneville ...

guff bahd

 

[6ix]

I want to smack Andersen in the face.

 

[Leafs27]

Andersen came up big in some big moments. But he also **** the bed.

You have to have control of those rebounds. And I'm not talking some of the pad saves. But off the blocker, right into the slot? C'mon...

D has to be better too. Not enough to have strong-ish offense.

 

[Swervin81]

Put the struggling Kadri line out as well as ****ING HUNWICK AND POLAK to defend a late game lead so much.

Babs... why the **** do you love Hunwick so much... or does he have compromising photos... seriously, blink twice if Hunny Boo Boo is holding you against your will or something.

 

[Coatsy79]

Good old Andersieve

Is is getting old quick!!!

 

[Al14]

Glad Babs is feeding the Hot hand and giving Holland his pseudo Hat trick opportunity in the shootout

You forgot the !

 

[Guy Boucher]

Y'all thought Reiner was weak gloveside.

So true.

 

[Pi]

Ander5en keeps the tradition with allowing 5 goals intact...though one was in the shootout.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Bad bad ending, growing pains. Not a great feeling obviously. Was a pretty neat and tidy game till the late rally..

 

[weems]

Not a good game for the Komarov line.

Couldn't win a face-off or keep the puck out of their own net.

Prolly should have cashed in on Komarov this offseason. His value was never going to be higher.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Where are he Anderson defenders now?

#freddy5

 

[The_Chosen_One]

Hunwick is very overrated. Zaitsev is far better in one-on-one battles. He proved it against elites in the world cup and yet we're using this dinosaur.

Rielly, yes, isn't a strong defensively. That doesn't mean that we should be solely reverting to obsolete veterans.

 

[The Beyonder]

Polak and Hunwick....

And that's all I have to say about that.
