    This matthews line OT always misses 🥲

  2. Kid-Goose

    Obviously its pre season and doesnt mean anything but i really hated matthews effort tonight

  3. blakezed

    only pre-season but nothing gets my blood boiling like losing to the habs in a nailbiter

  4. Movieandtvfan

    Matthews and Marner play every overtime like it’s game 7.

  5. cappo40

    Good work boys, shit the bed even in the pre season

  6. ChildhoodLoud3031

    I don’t really care that it’s preseason, that’s an embarrassing way to lose. We’re still playing down to this bad habs team every single time. Mind blowing.

  7. Volderon90

    Maybe they should just ice the B team for the season, they seem to do better

  8. leafman4000

    Do we have a wild chimp in charge of coaching OT strategies? Like seriously, how is it possible that a team as good as the leafs is so bad at 3 on 3?

    And yes I know it’s the preseason

  9. Gerdius

    If we don’t get possession, get Matthews and Marner off ASAP. Awesome with the puck, but they seem lost 3-on-3 without it.

  10. IlikeTurtles1308

    I don’t know how many times I’ve seen us blown blown two goals late only to lose on the first overtime shift with matthews and marner on the ice… some things never change

    I know these are banana games but holy fuck man

  11. Lampooge

    Matthews is always so lost on defense in overtime

  12. Kinglokner16

    Even tho it’s preseason it’s such a Leaf type of lost 🙃

  13. nthensome

    For the love of god, STOP putting Matthews and Marner on the 1st shift of 3 on 3

  14. djlista

    I’ve never seen such a bad team in overtime. You know when it happens you are lucky to get a point and don’t expect more. We gotta be the easiest team to score against in OT. It’s so Damn automatic.

  15. dres_sler

    Could feel that shit coming lmfao

    FUCK.

    Stoked for the season to start though

  16. Illustrious_Fact_554

    Yes habs think they’re good haha

  17. Illustrious_Fact_554

    Matthew’s has not won In pre season

  18. Matthews and Marner need to register for Bedard’s 3on3 roller hockey league

  19. Existing_Search5963

    3 leafs in the same spot on that ot goal there. matthews and marner need benched or play better we leave way too many extra points that could be giving us the 1st seed

  20. Trust-EV

    Haven’t been following the preseason too closely but…

    – I like Nylander center experiment so far, I think he and Domi go well together
    – I don’t like what I’ve seen of Bertuzzi so far. He was the only off season signing I liked too
    – Bring out better and faster skaters for 3v3. I think Nylander and Domi this year are perfect for it.

  21. DeathEater91

    Keefe you fuck stop putting marner and Matthews together in any form, it doesn’t work.

  22. asheeponreddit

    Blowing leads to inferior teams? Getting jobbed by the refs? Unplugging the controller in OT?

    Oh yeah, baby! LEAFS HOCKEY IS BACK!

  23. rookiewaves

    Matthews just doesn’t look like he should be the highest paid player in the league, I’m sorry, I don’t want it to be the case- but he’s fucking lazy and what happened to the wrister?!!

  24. SMORKIN_LABBIT

    LILLY LOOKS LIKE SHIT. He does, I was alway’s down on how slow his North South skating was and then he had like 100 games where his positioning for a 3rd pairing made up for it……..he looks like dog shit. That last goal was 100% on him and Marner was diving to help.

  25. Leafs44

    Classic bed shitting by the Leafs. Playing down to their opponent.

  26. SynthRysing

    Matthews should be benched in OT. Before you say it “oooh preseason it’s just preseason” it’s not just about preseason. Remember last year? Many overtimes over in the first minute?

  27. Uniqueuserlame

    Bro I just CANNOT understand why they keep trying Matthews and Marner to start 3 on 3’s. They are awesome players but they are absolutely positively SNAKEBITTEN and have been for years. Just put Johnny and Bert or Domi or Knies. At first it’s like okay yeah they’re your top guys but after they’ve gone like 2-12 it’s time to maaaaaaybe just accept 3 on 3 doesn’t go well for them. C’mon Sheldon.

  28. mikesully374826

    I missed it did TrelivingTheDream have a breakdown?

  29. CMDRShepardN7

    I’m just gonna go channel my unyielding rage into doing deadlifts.

  30. djlista

    Josh Anderson, Caufield and suzuki become the best players in the league against the leafs would smash all of Gretzky’s records if they had to play against the leafs 82 games straight.

  31. Experttom

    Really hope this is the year he gets traded

  32. hexsealedfusion

    I’m excited this sub is back, we even have people melting down over pre-season games now

  33. Dota2player111

    Spoiler alert to what’s to come next Wednesday xd

  34. re-verse

    If there is one thing I the least to internalize this season it’s : the game is not over when you’re up by two. You have to keep trying until the time is up, every time.

  35. Current-Own

    Preseason or not, some of the things you’d think we’ve
    passed. But we weren’t tonight. Sheldon Keefe. Sound familiar. Get set for the same bull fans. The merry-go-round continues. This core doesn’t work. Get rid of it.

  36. MikeyTheHero

    $20 bucks on the habs to win when down 3-1 was $280 payout. I knew I should’ve done it lmao
