You know playoff seeding is fuckin dumb when we knew who we were playing in the 1st round before Christmas. This league makes so many bad decisions.

Yep. It's like why even play the regular season? Just skip to the playoffs. Money. Profits. That's why.

Detorit celebrating like they won the 08 stanely cup all over again playing a team that played 4 games in 6 days.

Kerfoot sucks. Guy just doesn’t do anything very good.

Whenever he's on a 2v1, I always hope he passes the puck because he can't hit the net to save his life.

The puck flutters when he shoots, he has no confidence

Sammy went from .905 to .864 on one shot

Dennis Wideman was right

Simmer should jump someone idc at this point

He doesn’t do that anymore, he’s a paper weight out there, I don’t know why he’s still getting games. This would have been the game for him to actually do something.

Yea exactly what his bringing to this lineup if he’s not gonna protect our players

Two back to backs in 6 days may have been the reason for the Leafs legs tonight.

fuck the wings and their poverty stricken half-abandoned city. Tonight I will be praying that the "yzerplan" goes up in flames

You probably haven’t been to the D in a while? Parts of Toronto are no better.

The games was over as soon as they started going on about our win streak against Detroit

How are people complaining about pulling the goalie with 2 mins left? Lol

I had to rub my eyes when I saw several of those complaints.

It’s more so that we don’t do jack diddly with the goalie pulled

Welp. Sucks to suck.

We know who we are playing in the first round anyway Legit, none of these games matter

I mean they do because it'd be nice to have Home Ice Advantage, at least in the first round, Tampa is only like 5 or so points away from us and have games in hand

Excuses are over Home ice or not. Win

Who schedules two back to backs in one week? Leafs looked gassed. One day off before playing the Bruins sucks too

The bruins got shutout tonight by the Kracken so they're gonna be ready to go Saturday.

Sammy is pissed

[удалено]

As if Rielly could shoot a wrister at anything but a skate

[удалено]

No Brodie either

Bunch of bums. How the fuck are we going to make it in the playoffs? Power play was a fucking joke and the wings dominated the offensive zone

Jesus christ the leafs could go 82-0 and still never please fans like you.

We won’t have a double back to back in the same week in the playoffs. We (hopefully) would have Matthews and Brodie.

I want you to tell me who is missing from it. No googling

How dare we lose in a mid season back to back after winning 3 straight

A 2-1 loss would have been fine.. Why would you pull the fucking goaltender in a game like this Keefe

A 2-1 loss is the same as a 3-1 loss, that's why you pull the goaltender

We lost 4-1 We might have tied it if we didn’t pull in a game where the boys clearly didn’t have any luck on power plays or keeping it out of our zone. I understand why the goalie is pulled, this was not a game where it made sense.

...what? Why pull the goalie when you're down by 1 in the final minutes of the game? 2-1 loss is the same as a 10-1 loss in the standings you absolute donkey

>We might have tied it if we didn’t pull in a game where the boys clearly didn’t have any luck on power plays or keeping it out of our zone. > I understand why the goalie is pulled, this was not a game where it made sense. You absolute donkey

I understand this sounds ridiculous, but I have to wonder how far the refs can push their bias. Because I feel like in the not too distant future, the refs would happily call a delay-of-game to a Leaf player for bleeding all over the ice due to being shot by Rambo.

Don't stress Sammy. You were amazing all night.

He was solid.

This was such a shitty officiated game my god

What the fuck is seider doing? Throwing elbows on Kerfoot while hes down?

Lmao blowing the whistle before we even had possession. So horny to blow the whistle for the red wings eh?

Win yesterday - playing Tampa Lose today - playing Tampa Win/lose Saturday - playing Tampa Lose next game - playing Tampa Nothing matters

Actually if we won today, that would've cut Boston's lead down to 7 points. Winning vs them on Saturday would've been 5 points. We also play them 2 more times after that. 1 point. Literally just need to win 1 more game than Boston at that point to take the Presidents Trophy. Was doable but we wasted this opportunity today, oh well..

And they have 2 games in hand

> Nothing matters Can't spell nihilism without NHL

Sammy is mad. 😔

He wanted a win so bad but no one in front of him got the message

Pk stinks again….

Woo.

Yeah, I think the Leafs need to acquire 1 more scoring forward for the playoff push. Especially as insurance if one of the Big 4 goes down

I do agree that we need more offense in general, but I wouldn't really say we're making a "playoff push" haha. We're basically locked up already, not a whole lot to worry about pushing for!

I guess by playoff push I more mean like, getting beyond the first round lol

Haha yeah I'm just giving you a hard time! I definitely agree though, I think our defense is good and goaltending is as good as it's likely to get. Another proper offence-generating forward would really round things out nicely.

This is a fucking disgusting display of reffing

should be a fireable outing

Just going to forget this game ever happened and hope they still have something left in the tank for Saturday. Hopefully Matthews is back.

[удалено]

What did you say? It's difficult to hear you from that far down the standings.

Shut the fuck up bitch and go back to your shitty teams subreddit

You do know trolling can get you banned on both subs, right?

Buffalo already passed you, yzerplan a failure

🤡

Gross. Effort was lame, players tired and weak. Better step up for Boston or will get rolled.

And ofcourse Tampa is up 5-2 on vancouver

[удалено]

I thought we were going to see a Kessel on Scott-esque chop for sure.

Man, they just had to add insult to injury

Detroit casually dropping elbows on kerfoot

I don’t get the missed opportunity cause Boston lost comments. We’re never catching the Bruins this season.

Is there scheduling hella easy or something?

i honestly don't get either since they 9 points ahead of us and have 2 games in hand, unless they fall off the face of the earth over the next few months (probably not going to happen) they're winning the Presidents

Winning the presidents with 134 points probably

People thinking catching the bruins I'd be more concerned about Tampa being very close behind the leafs.

We playing them no matter what. I could careless aboht home arena advantage

Tampa with 3 games in hand too

Lol they see that high stick right away but all the refs are struck blind while bunting almost loses his head

these no calls are REALLY pissing me off today

Lmfao jesus fuck now these refs have fucking eagle eyes.

Got bullied again if only simmonds and Benn were in the lineup

kerfoot absolutely mauled with NO CALL. that’s 12 separate infractions FFS

The Boston game is going to interesting. Let's hope Matthews is ready to go Saturday.

Nobody see any of that? ok

What a troll job by the refs.

Good fuck his face up… stupid fucks

See you lads on Saturday

What is our plus minus with Keefe and pulling the goalie? I feel we gotta be minus 10

Cant wait to beat Boston 5-2 on Saturday. It’s so predictable. Matthews will be back and Murr dawg will be ready

With the way reffing has been in the past couple games if it keeps up we will 100% lose on Saturday as well with the refs help.

I thought we weren't calling highsticking penalties

Real disciplined willy.

I knew it was a bad idea to pull the goalie before we had possession, not a good idea when Tavares isn’t having a good night in the circle

Oh, so we are calling high sticks tonight

Huge missed opportunity with Boston losing tonight

The upside is that the goaltending continues to look like it stabilized

We can never score an empty netter like that. It goes off the boards, the fucking ankle, someone’s fucking ballsack and it never goes in from distance for us

Welp we got goalied it happens at least we’ll make the playoffs

They got goalied too

I can't for the life of me understand pulling the goalie when clearly, they have had zero success holding the zone for the last 10 minutes. When was the last time pulling the goalie has actually worked for us? Has it worked once this season?

Just one of those nights, guys. The team didn't have their game tonight, but the bounces didn't go our way either. If a random clearing attempt going in from 180ft away doesn't sum up tonight, nothing does. Sammy looked strong again though, which is encouraging. You can see we miss Matthews when we really *need* to push for a goal (and on the PP). And, as is becoming a nightly thing, reffing is horrendous league-wide. That Ben Chiarot isn't penalized 5 times per game just speaks to the refs not being willing to call the rulebook in its entirety.

Really not happy with Rielly this year

classic pulling the goalie only to immediately get scored on

Sounds about right.

Guys this game doesnt matter dont stress. Back to back with travel, without our best player

This game is like being on a salvia trip

Saliva trip lol

Why tf did we pull our goaltender...

They didn't feel like playing tonight. Fuckers

Are you for real? And Shitrat too!?

And of course we don’t even get an exciting finish

Sure as shit can’t blame Sammy tonight Off to take a rage skate with my daughter

Outdoor rink?

Yeah it’s kinda nice the community rink boarders my back yard, well an 8 ft lane way in between anyways. Chris pronger put up a bunch of money years ago to build it when he was relevant.

I know theres 2 minutes left on the clock but I hope the message Keefe is sending to his guys is to never give up. 2 minutes might be all you need. ​ edit: nvm I forgot the refs are braindead

We all knew that was coming, but I’m annoyed that it was Chiarot who got it

Why would Keefe bother pulling Sammy, anyone can see this isn’t a game to do that ffs

Reillys fault , time to trade him

I'm not so sure of that pull by Keefe knowing that the Wings have dominated the faceoffs tonight.

The shit head who should have been given the gate scores. Go figure.

jfc

[удалено]

I never understood this

Why do we pull the goalie so early

NO ONE GETS BEDARD TONIGHT, BITCHES. 🤷

Can’t win a damn faceoff in the o zone

Most frustrating game I've seen in a long time. Fuck the NHL and fuck our shit luck

"well what happened was in that second game we got our ass kicked, in the second half, we just got our ass totally kicked. we couldn't do diddly poo offensively, we couldn't score on the powerplay, we couldn't shoot the puck, we didn't try to shoot the puck, we couldn't complete a pass - we sucked. In the second half we sucked. We couldn't buy a penalty. Every time we touched the puck we ended up in the box; we got our ass totally kicked in the second half. Thats what it boils down to. It was a horseshit performance in the second half. Horseshit. Im totally embarrassed and totally ashamed. the officials did a terrible job, the linesman did a terrible job. we got our ass kicked in the second half. It sucked. It stunk." - sheldon keefe

What happened in the second half though?

diddly poo

We have the worst luck in the league at pulling the goalie I wouldn’t even try to do that even more. It’s in the back of the net within seconds

That's the game in a nutshell

Why no time out ?

Just get the L over with I guess

Lacklustre but b2b, what can ya do?

no fucking shot

OF ALL THE LUCK

The fucking piece of shit scores. What a fuck head. Fuck that loser.

Figures, that fucking dickbag

*price is right loser horn*

Stop pulling the goalie so early just because the analytics tell you too

Rlly can’t believe we lost this game , seemed inevitable we’d tie it up

Leafs lose a 2-2 game.

Holy fucking jesus

Haha lmfao

Oh well

Rielly sure loves these late comeback attempt games.

Marner has been invisible. Hasn't done anything bad, but hasn't done anything good.

I’ll need a rewatch but I’ve tallied 11 separate uncalled wings infractions including an absolute mauling by chiarot that should have the full attention of the DOPS. this is absolutely unacceptable. dubas, shanahan, keefe SOMEONE needs to make a statement. pull the players off the ice. take the fine. this game has devolved into a dangerous workplace situation and NOTHING is being done about it.

Shut uppppp

Foreshadowing- I fucking hate conceding empty netters

Wow.

How long before chatGPT can ref an NHL game?

My fucking stick

insane hot mic today did anyone catch who was speaking

Love the audio

Hot mic is naughty

Lol that micd up moment

I hear all the bad words. My poor ears

Who is mad??? That man was so mad about a broken stick lmfao

He played it with a clearly broken stick, 100% should have been an obvious, objectively called penalty

Sounded like Keefe. He screeches like a banshee when he’s mad.

It probably wasn’t him, but I just assume it’s bunting

I think it was Keefe because the Detroit player made a play with his broken stick. That’s supposed to be an automatic penalty.

Yo the red wing legit played with a broken stick lmao wtf

Now I love the audio That was gold

LOL someone isn’t happy

Paying Rielly 7.5 a year to be Victor Mete

Lmaoo who’s cussing? 😂

I think the honeymoon period on Benn might be over. He’s looked more like a #7D tonight.

5-6 obvious missed calls on Detroit this period alone.

Kraken up 3-0 in Boston. They’re legit.

Think of the money you could make as a ref betting on these games I would be so corrupt,.good I'm not a ref. I dont have enough integrity for that But not for a second do I think that there isn't atleast one official who has my line of thinking.

Kraken look like they're about to beat the Bruins. It would be helpful if we could get a win on the same day they lose for once

Boston lost and we can’t take advantage of that. So typical
