Game 55: Maple Leafs @ Flyers, 7:00Pm, Battle of #1 Goalies?

well ...we didn't get the goal..frustrating given the two man advantage ...but really it was a miracle that the leafs were in this one ....regroup go from there
 
Incredible.  What an awful effort at the end.  2 minutes of a 2 man advantage and not even a shot on net.  Heck, they were only able to set up once and coughed it up.

Really disappointed we couldn't even generate a chance

I'm glad they lost. Hated that whole smug talk that this team doesn't need any moves trade wise. Hope that non sense ends now. So many overpaid bums

You sure you're a Leafs fan?

Did we have a 2 man advantage there or did I imagine the Flyer penalty+Reimer pulled?

Well, a penalty plus pulling Reimer.

Either way, we had 6 they had 4 so it was a 2 man advantage.
 
This is the kind of game that will drive Burke crazy and cause him to make some kind of a move.  Giveaway after giveaway in our own end, can't clear the zone, losing puck battles along the boards, Hartnell allowed to play unmolested from close range.  A general lack of, well, tenacity and all those other Burkean characteristics.

Yeah I stand corrected. I was saying how it just seems bad because everyone's healthy but man there were alot of passengers riding the Kessel-Bozak-Lupul bus tonight.
 
Tough loss but nowhere near as frustrating as the one in Winnipeg. They have got to stop dropping points to teams behind them. This is the stretch drive. There's no excuse for it anymore. Prove you belong in the playoffs.

Yes. Next question

Have you checked your blood pressure recently?

So are you happy with our line-up or not and why?  You're attacking him instead of what he said...
 
PP has started to struggle again. Weak effort in the last 2 minutes. Only chance we got was the deflected Phaneuf shot. How you get out manned for the puck when it's a 6 on 4 is inexcusable.
 
Laughable effort with the extra man, and pretty terrible effort overall.  They barely mustered anything in the third even after the Flyers were content to sit back and try to protect the league.  We really needed a much better game than that after losing to Winnipeg.
 
I was hoping the Leafs would make Philly pay for the arrogance of putting two rookies out there to kill a 6-on-4 with two minutes left to play in a one-goal game ... but, nope. Not even close.

That game was just the definition of sloppy, chippy hockey at its worst. Leafs deserved to lose and lost.

Moving on ...

if the leafs could just win all the games you seem to think they should be able to  then they'd be going for first ...not 6/7/8th  ..the leafs aren't a first place team ..they're just not ...now let's see how they do on saturday
