[WellPlayed]

Lol you just know how this is getting spun

Leafs terrible D barely hangs on

 

[Kritter]

how the fuk cant freddy make that goddam save? he saw it for a thousand feet

 

[LeafGm]

Freddie was literally making himself smaller in the net on that Subban shot.

 

[hockeylover]

I'd be fucking devastated if Fred shits the bed in the playoffs and a whole bunch of morons get to be like "THIS IS WHY OFFENSE FIRST DOESNT WORK IN THE PLAYOFFS."

 

[Jeremy]

Hatty for Matty!

 

[BeLeafer]

'bout time you gave us a hatty, you bum!

 

[Killer93]

Andersieve .857 tonight

 

[BeLeafer]

I sure hope there's alarm bells going off about this goaltending.

 

[WellPlayed]

Is there any outside review of NHL officiating? Or is it just a bunch of retired and more senior refs jerking off current refs on what a good job everyone is doing?

 

[Jeremy]

Watch out Pasta, Papi’s coming!

 

[zeke]

Bruins lose.

Bolts close to losing.

 

[Jeremy]

59 goal, 101 pt pace for Matthews

[WellPlayed]

[zeke]

Thought dermott was particularly strong tonight.

Amazing what happens when you don't give him 68th most ice time in the league. Who would've thought?

Oh yeah. All of us.

Remember when Matthews wasn't even on our first power-play unit for two years? Or when he finally got on there, but had to make a beeline for the bench as soon as the power-play hit the one-minute mark?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

Still talking about defensive breakdowns and leaving the goaltender out to dry...

I just don't see it. I don't think they had many particularly dangerous chances.

 

[WellPlayed]

Man, like this Warriner guy seems alright but absolutely no one will criticize Fred. Like I would even take "they loosened up a bit in the third and I didn't think that Freddy was very sharp."

But no. Nothing. Ever.

 

[LeafGm]

I sure hope there's alarm bells going off about this goaltending.

Even if Freddie eventually gets his shit together, it should be obvious at this point that he's never going to overcome this tendency to have these extreme peaks and valleys in the season. And when one of those valleys comes in the playoffs, you're fucked.

We either need a replacement, or at the very least a plausible alternative to turn to when Freddie's a sieve.

It's fucking amazing. We were air tight almost all night. Two legit defensive breakdowns were both challenged partial breaks that one definitely should have been stopped.

2.19 expected goals tonight. That's just a really good defensive effort overall. These twats really don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
