Pain.
Story of the game: Careless giveaways killed us
Morgan Reilly continues to be a story. Figure out your game plz.
The shambles took over and they fucked ‘er up. Figures, since it was against Boston.
That was very unexpected. I thought we’d go to OT.
My blood is boiling. I fucking hate the Bruins.
SO MANY FUCKING GIVEAWAYS. I’M FUCKING LIVID RN
That was the softest fucking pass from JT right out of the dzone….
Boston is a great team and all but man if we got the amount of puck luck they get we would he right there with them
The best thing about that game was the digital ads were broken
Pain
Well it’s very obvious what the issue is. Sandin and Lily are studs
Murray had some nice saves…but 3 of the 4 goals were pretty soft goals.
rielly-timmins….jesus christ. that was an abomination of a pairing tonight. its pretty concerning how the highest paid dman on the team has to be paired with Brodie or his pairing is a disaster.
ZAR…what exactly does he do here?
Not a bad effort, just way too many mistakes. Murray has to have 2/4 goals and man oh man… I’m a huge believer in this D core, but tonight was not their night. No where near it.
That’s the game, that’s how it goes sometimes in the middle of January. Don’t fool yourselves tho…. We got a TEAM.
Go Leafs Go!!
Boston luckiest team in the NHL I stg
I’m pretty far from anti-doomer but there is no reason to panic, the loss wasnt that bad. It was frustrating, but not the worst loss of the season. That being said Reilly looked like shit
Is it just me or should they maybe can this ‘Dad’s trip’ going forwards. Every year they seem to struggle during it.
Doomers need to shut up. Its okay. Boston is a good team. Despite some bad giveaways it was close. Just relax.
Tough loss but a great game.
Rielly has been tough to watch no doubt but some of you really need to chill with the hate comments.
If Brodie wasn’t on ltir he’d be taking Rielly out of the lineup.
Fuck this and fuck that, but damn that was an entertaining as hell game. Great, tough-nosed hockey, gritty performance by both sides.
Can’t remember the last time a game was that entertaining from start to finish on a Saturday night.
i thought overall it was actually a really good game from the Leafs, Ulymark saved the Bruins ass tonight (as he’s been doing all season because the bruins manage to pull out generation goaltending every 5 years for some fucking reason)
but man did the Bruins eat Reilly and Timmins alive, they didn’t look threatening all game, I’ve been iffy on the Reilly hate train but my god was he horrible tonight, i see many complaining about Murray and i think he should’ve gotten 1 of those, but like we’re just going to ignroe the 14 other amazing saves he did tonight to even keep us in this game, our D core was easily the worse part of tonight
FUCK THE BRUINS
That Tavares pass ruined my night. Fuck.
A team with Morgan Rielly as a central piece is not going to get very far.
Tonight looked like the type of games the Leafs would lose in the playoffs…stretches of inspired play, but marred by horrendous turnovers and just that 1 or 2 goalie mistakes that give other teams the slight edge over us in the end.
Really felt like a playoff game tonight, even right down to the fuck up at the end
We fought hard even with our mistakes/ bad calls and non calls, let’s get a few days of rest and tame some cats on Tuesday.
We made it close but the difference was we looked like we were playing desperate and the Bruins looked in control. We need to make changes.
Well, not happy with the non-call on the BOS stick throw, but the awful giveaways definitely hurt the Buds tonight. Onto the next, boys.
Keefe should have challenged that. It was stupid not to.
Turnovers killed them. Seems to always be the difference in these tough games. They better figure it out before April.
Three goals due to sloppy unforced errors. I’m pissed about losing, but any notion that we aren’t right there with Boston is delusional.
Two soft goals from Murray. Inexcusable. His earlier heroics do not cancel out his mistakes tonight. Nylander put in 25% effort. JT had some looks but for $11 million you can’t make turnovers like that.
Pain
He threw the fucking stick.
You know, I ain’t even mad. One less mistake from us or one more from them and it goes the other way. We play that game 7 times and I don’t hate the odds.
Boston is probably going to win the cup this year but losing like that sucks. Always feels like the Leafs come up just short in these types of games
Not saying I’m happy we lost, but having won 4 straight vs Boston, the last thing I’d want is to meet them in the playoffs having won 6 or 7 straight regular season games against them. That’s got playoff sweep written all over it, in favor of Boston.
Leafs are beating tampa in round 1 and then going to sweep Boston in round 2, fuck the bruins
Not all bad news tonight…[https://twitter.com/torontomarlies/status/1614437644204933120?s=46&t=KbEdpTZV-bSlKS5oyA4y1w](https://twitter.com/torontomarlies/status/1614437644204933120?s=46&t=KbEdpTZV-bSlKS5oyA4y1w)
