Those of us who paid to be in attendance last night should really get a refund.

Great for headlines but lost in all of this was Carolina executing a phenomenal gameplan not giving them an inch.
Great defensive effort and transition game

Probably?
I like how nobody is even giving Carolina's D any credit for collapsing the fuck out of the third period in front of Ayres. Sure they were on their second game, Zamboni driver yada yada yada. Shit happens. The real tell will be how they rebound from this.

Yeah, the goalie didn't beat them. He let them back in it. They were dominated from puck drop.
Shockingly the Matthews-Marner line had a 70% xG% and CF%. They dominated the Aho line.
Tavares/Willy and Dermott/Barrie/Sandin were awful. Gotta just sell Barrie and recoup something. He's not helping this team get anywhere.

Ah I see that's the narrative today on social media and whatnot.
"It's okay that they lost to a zamboni driver because a mediocre team played great"
Yeah no shit they played great. But that doesn't mean the leafs weren't embarrassing.

I don't think anyone is saying it wasn't embarrassing. It was just embarrassing when Riemer and Mrazek were playing too.

It's the truth that Carolina played great. Using it as an excuse is where my issue is. Leafs should be way better than that.

We know how they will rebound from this. It's well documented at this point.

The past is not necessary prologue. If it was nobody would be a sports fan.

Which one is the mediocre team again?

Nothing for nothing but the reactions by many is becoming more embarrassing than the actual loss.

When the past includes the same collection of players, history can tell us a lot about what to expect. Sure anything is possible, but at this point nobody should expect anything different from this group going forward.

North Carolina governor wants to make Ayres an honourary NC citizen.
It of course had to happen to us. But it's a pretty great story for that guy. I felt terrible for him when he let the first two shots in. Lucky for him it's the Leafs, so this was the only possible outcome.

Citizenship is a Federal issue. Now they're just trolling the Leafs.

Carolina deserves to feel good today. Will they feel good in a week rolling with AHL goaltending? We'll see.
I kinda wish the Leafs were getting (at the very least) AHL-calibre goaltending right now. Seems more ECHL-level. Of course this all went down after I praised Freddie for being solid in the 1st.

Lol anyone can be an honourary citizen of anywhere. And yes, everyone is trolling the Leafs right now.
Still be cool to see him brought down for a puck drop etc

They really weren't dominated from puck drop. They were the better team for the first half of the game, other than the special teams
Underrating issue in this one also was that freddy stunk.
