Maple Leafs 0 at Panthers 2: Post-Game Instant Reaction

I’ve been watching the SAG Awards since the second period.

the Mcardle kid was so nervous during his interview

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Just got home. Missed yet another game. Have to ask how did the Monster play?

enjoy your Saturday night kittens

is kind of like how it was when they lost to dallas/phoenix on terrible games.

only now theres nothign to look forward to (i.e. JFJ firing)

where do we go from here?

“share your thoughts on the game and enjoy your Saturday night”

impossible but thanks anyway.

hooray for florida getting the win. but i don’t think trap hockey and 1-0 or 2-1 or 2-0 snoozefests are going to win them many new fans. which they could actually use, judging by the empty seats tonight.

this leaf team puts a decent effort in most nights, but they just are not talented enough. that’s all there is to it really. they didn’t come out flying or anything tonight, but any time you get 39 shots – i don’t care how shitty they are – you can’t say the team wasn’t at least trying to get pucks on net. unfortunately points aren’t awared for trying.

but whatever. it will be june soon enough. 28 other teams and their fans will be right there with us, disappointed, wondering why the season ended the way it did, what they could have done differently, what moves will be made in the offseason to make them competitive. and we’ll all be back next year, hoping this is the year it actually gets better. fingers fucking crossed.

have to find a positive in this game? I mean, really now… :P

the self-lobotomizing continues … go jETS!!

My father-in-law won a stick last summer in a golf tournament autographed by Bryan Allen and he wants to sell it. There’s no certificate of authenticity, but is authentic. What would you pay for it and what do you think is a reasonable minimum price to ask for it on eBay? Thanks for any advice.

Me and my buddy just played two online games as the Leafs. Won both games by a combined score of 8-0 and scored all goals by driving to the net.

Hmph…

I´m trying to figure out if this is the most depressing season for me as a Leaf-fan ever, or just one of the not-so-few semi-crapety ones.
But I think I go for this one as the #1.
I had so high hopes for Gusty to shine behind a solid defence and a coach that looked upon defence as the key to the game.
And so far I can´t say it has worked out that well…… sob

im headed to the tor-sj game. so.. thats a potential nightmare waiting to happen.

unless we are in “zero-respect-backup-mode” by then and we go against greiss

Went to the game – here’s what I noticed:

- Every single shot seemed to hit Vokoun in the chest. Part of it is just good positioning on his part, but most of it is that we don’t really challenge goalies. I think any goalie last night would have looked like a Vezina winner.
- We do absolutely nothing to rattle opposing players crowding the net on our PK. There were too many instances where there were two Panthers parked in front of Gustavsson, and not a single Leaf was giving them the time of day.
- Schenn looked good for the most part. He was finishing hits, playing decent defence, and looking like a top four defenceman.

This team is soul crushing to watch

I added some of the advanced statistics to the recap. Luke Schenn led all Leafs defencemen with 20:18 of even strength ice-time as he continues to show the form that made last year such a revelation. He also had the second best Corsi and Fenwick rating behind only Ian White. He spent most of his ice-time against Stephen Weiss, Cory Stillman, and Michael Frolik.

And he was an even on the night. So, I’d say he had a good night, despite the terrible outcome for the Leafs.
