Well Biden must be happy
Most undeserving L of all time. Rielly, Murray, unlucky bounces, and the refs selling us once again…
Good goaltending is a game changer
Welp, sometimes the better team loses
*sometimes* because the refs gift them a 5v3 to start the game
See y’all tomorrow! GLG
Pretty happy with the pushback from the buds. The effort was there most of the night. Onto the next
Eh we outplayed a great team on their ice, not worried and the boys should rebound tomorrow
Tough loss, but we played well and really controlled the run of play after the first 10 minutes or so.
Lots of positives to take from this game, not a lot to get bummed about. It would’ve been nice to snag at least the one point after tying it kinda late, but that was a fun Saturday night game.
Of all the losses to get upset over, this isn’t one of them. If this game is played 10 times the leafs win it 7-8 times. They carried the play for basically 50 min against a top 3 team on the road.
Boys deserved to win tonight, but also have won a few this year they didn’t. I would take that effort every game. Caved them in for 45 mins, outshot them about 40-10 in that time. Kotchetkov had the game of his life. Just gotta limit the early damage
Lilly gonna be on the bench in the playoffs. These turnovers that he’s making are way too important to ignore. Unacceptable at that stage of the game.
M4TT MURR4Y.. another 4 goal night on 28 shots. Sighhhhhhh.
i really dont understand rielly, what was he even doing on that GWG? like your only job is to defend aho in front of the net and he’s blasting off towards the point to pretend to block a shot?
Matt buddy it’d be nice if the Leafs didn’t need to score 5 goals to win whenever you’re in net
is it me or is there always a goal RIGHT after some grinding game-tying goal by the leafs
Samsonov has to start in the playoffs. He absolutely has to.
Leafs dominated, dumb L with very costly mistakes and I haven’t been a Murray hater but he needs to either have that wraparound or control that rebound better cause you can’t make both those mistakes in one period
I am ready to roll with Woll as the backup.
**Matt Murray Last 8 Games:**
* CAR – 4 GA (.852)
* FLA – 2 GA (.943)
* OTT – 4 GA (.923)
* BUF – 4 GA (.862)
* EDM – 4 GA (.846)
* VAN – 4 GA (.883)
* FLA – 4 GA (.500)
* BOS – 4 GA (.882)
This was Matt Murray’s 25th game of the season. He has a sub .900 SV% in 13/25 games and he has allowed 4+ goals in 12/25 games.
Would’ve been nice to get a a point but that’s one of the better losses we’ve had all year. Papi coming back to MVP-form is way more encouraging than the result of this one game.
Leafs were the better team tonight. If you’re stressing over that loss, get some fresh air/touch grass etc. That loss was more encouraging than several wins this year.
Idk why Keefe didn’t put accairi line after game tying goal. Tavares line was struggling with Nylander invisible all night. need a solid defensive shift. and try to get to overtime. shame for mathews and his line they dominated all night.
Even when the Leafs were flying, you just had the sense they were going to lose on a stupid play or two. Frustrating game.
Lame loss 🙄, Auston was fun to watch at least.
What the fuck is keefe thinking putting Reilly and lily on right after they tie it up???? Holy fuck
I don’t really care about the L so much, the boys played very well against a solid team. We didn’t deserve to lose and the Canes we’re gifted a 5-on-3 to start the game. To me the biggest positive is that it looks like Auston is back.
Every time I start to think Matt Murray is turning a corner, he gives up a wraparound goal like it’s the 80’s and we’re back to square one.
If you have good goaltending, it doesn’t matter where you play or who comes to town. They have to beat you.
Rielly and Lilly together after the tying goal… Keefe is not the brilliant tactician I thought he was
Matthews had 15 shots?! Sorry didn’t catch the game, but just checked the boxscore. Damn.
Feels like Reilly needs to be better…
I’m just happy that the buds rebounded from going down 0-2 to absolutely demolish the Hurricanes for 40 minutes. Just didn’t show up on the score sheet as much as it should’ve. Oh well, their goalie stood on his head, and with a lucky bounce or two we’d have gotten the lead. Not overly worried about this loss because Tampa Bay is shitting the bed, so as long as that continues this loss doesn’t matter. Carolina is a great team, outshooting them as dominantly as we did is a promising thing.
Only big criticisms are Murray letting up on the puck and letting Carolina’s 3rd goal go in, and then giving up that 4th goal after Matthews ties it up late. You gotta dig deep and force OT after something like that. But oh well
