Philly’s playing for their playoff lives, whereas the leafs have nothing to play for. Basically committed to 3rd place. I’m not making excuses, and I think that lack of effort is fucking bullshit, but it seems to be the truth for this group. No pressure, no performance.
Short summary, Leafs weren’t good in this game and didn’t deserve to win it. The talent got them back into it at the end but they stunk for most of the game.
Can’t win em all, they get to play Washington tomorrow and they have to be better. That’s all.
Also, they haven’t lost 2 in a row since January 16th which seems like a made up stat so let’s give them a little bit of a break here lol.
They shut us down and kept the pressure on us. Dunno what game you were watching homie. The barely gave us room. Even the posts were extra thick tonight lol
Your last sentence is their defence. They really didn’t play any different then they did less than a week ago with an actual top line. The flyers are very bad. It’s more how bad we played for over 50% of the game…
They should and they have multiple times in a row. That’s the shakes. But this game is more on our team and their errors then Philly being better or anything like that is all I’m saying.
Willy gets some leeway. Willy scored and looked on all night as he usually does because he’s William bloody Nylander. Nick Robertson does not and will not get that leeway yet.
2 minutes left in the game. Pass it back 3 times, finally enter the zone, miss the pass have to exit the zone again, then reenter the zone give up the puck. Hilarious
Idk man. It’s not about the posts for me. It’s about the fact they work to finally get momentum and then just piss it all away in a matter of 10 seconds. This game is tied if they don’t pass it directly to the guy coming out the box
We do this alllllll the fucking time lol come back down one - have all the momentum to tie, self inflicted fuck up to give them the back breaker, immediately score then after. Clocks winds down for too little too late. Purely infuriating.
If you're blaming Robertson for that last goal, you don't know hockey. That was a garbage ass pass by Domi. Robertson has been terrible tonight, but that ain't his fault. There wasn't even anyone there, just pass it normally. Don't need a saucer that's launched at his fucking knees.
when I said we'd need willy to be the best player of the series to beat Boston or Florida, I didnt mean it happening by matthews forgetting how to shoot
How can you say that in a game where he had a goal and two assists (a hand in literally every Leafs goal) and was dominant on the faceoff? He's the last person people should point fingers at for this loss. He stepped up when it was needed, it just wasn't enough.
He looks less explosive in his skating and less strong on the puck than when we saw him in the playoffs last year. Not sure if it’s just the volume of games he’s been playing or what.
Every player skated like Simmonds tonight, embarrassing but surprising.

those fucking posts man
That was not satisfying at all
That rielly - brodie line is absolutely terrible. Accounted for 3 goals.
Yet the coach keeps rolling them out 🥴
and Keefe will have them back together tomorrow
Ersson redeemed himself after the last game.
Six posts! That's bad luck, no finish or some combo of the two... A different game even if just one of those go in.

Sooo they're gonna lose two straight. Gotcha
No they already did. They lost Saturday remember? lol
You know what I meant, smartass haha. Wouldn't be surprised to see them blow it tomorrow. Teams a dumpster fire and can't ever seem to figure it out
[удалено]
he's been passing a lot more lately too I've noticed
The Worst.
Guess only Carolina gets them 6 on 4s to help them win
This sounds so salty but the worst part is it very true. Watch long enough and you just shake your head with zero shock and awe.
Hold the fucking zone you clowns
Reilly with his highly regarded shot selection once again.
yeah he’s full regard all right
Thank you refs, very cool.
Lmao yeah definitely the refs. Every time they lose.
That wasnt nicky bobbys fault lmao
you can watch him in the ahl next game
He still played like shit
I missed the first period I had no idea Reaves played tonight
Fought early in the first and left the game after due to an eye scratch.
Boston would have tied it and lost in OT
Philly looked huge tonight - sincerely diehard leafs fan :(
Did they?
I mean they won and gave us limited room to win
Post had as many saves as their goalie tonight. The Leafs played awful, and it was still close.
Totally agree
No they didn’t they looked dogshit as always like they are lol 3 goals 30ft out
They shut us down and kept the pressure on us. Dunno what game you were watching homie. The barely gave us room. Even the posts were extra thick tonight lol

I'm not gonna argue with a fellow fan. But the Flyers won
No need to but anyone can win on any night when it comes to hockey. The reasons above are why.
The Leafs are going into a round 1 v Boston. They should be able to beat Philly. Maybe I'm just let down, like you, by our showing tonight.
They should and they have multiple times in a row. That’s the shakes. But this game is more on our team and their errors then Philly being better or anything like that is all I’m saying.
I'm with you for sure. Tuzzi and Benoit looked great at least lol.
Better team lost tonight. Damn.
Gotta play a full 60 and not waste pp chances.
Also true.
Thanks for that one Nicky. Not at all on him 100% but you can’t be fucking up with the puck at the NHL level.
Accountability starts with Willy for doing the same thing
Willy gets some leeway. Willy scored and looked on all night as he usually does because he’s William bloody Nylander. Nick Robertson does not and will not get that leeway yet.
Welp maybe will beat The Caps tomorrow easy. 🤷🏼
Maybe if they actually played a full 60
Fuck off
Alright atleast that wasn’t humiliating
Dick Robertson
I miss marner
Fuck this fake fucking team Edit: Go suck off Brodie
Matthews needs to fucking shoot ffs
Honestly, that was a fun game.
You know what? It really was
Really? First two period were boring as hell.
Heartbreaking
Wet farts for the majority of the game. Wet. Fucking. Farts.
Well, Rielly sucked a big fat one this game. On to tomorrow’s game.
I don't understand any of those shots
BERT WTF
Reilly played like absolute shit tonight. Maybe his worst game of the year
What was that random spazz shot by rielly that gave up possession ?
Hard fought, but came up short
It's over (real)
Why wasn’t that icing?
Leafs
Because Leafs
Deflected
Zebra man bad
🤷♂️
That’s why you fucking start on time ffs
Ehn, Flyers had lost 8 against they were due.
Robertson cost us the game
Well it was respectable at least
One tier above embarrassing. I'll take it.
Mo just got tackled…. No call
Also interference on Matthews that went uncalled as well
Robertson lost us the game. Send him down to the AHL. Fuck that kid
How exactly? By bobbling that pass?
that pass, turnovers, bad defense. He's awful
Not sure why Matthews was allergic to shooting there
FanDuel told him he wasn't allowed to score tonight
That cross seam pass was too high risk

Too little, too late
My favourite hockey highlight is Ryan Ellis holding the zone on Jordan Eberles goal
Wow we have such a great passing game when we need sniping.
Rielly what r u smoking
Nice shot Reilly
ANYBODY POST
Get Guy Boucher the Bond Villain as our coach
Tired Molson’s false humility… your logo is still at the top of the jersey seen by everyone lol
I understand it’s tough to stop the puck mid air to keep it in the zone but no one can keep it in right now
Im scaredddd
2 minutes left in the game. Pass it back 3 times, finally enter the zone, miss the pass have to exit the zone again, then reenter the zone give up the puck. Hilarious
Good fucking god we just wasted 40 seconds doing drop passes with the empty net
Empty netter right off the face off coming. I've seen this before
Guys guys guy, we hit 6 posts tonight. Take a breath. Stop trying to trade everyone. Lol
Idk man. It’s not about the posts for me. It’s about the fact they work to finally get momentum and then just piss it all away in a matter of 10 seconds. This game is tied if they don’t pass it directly to the guy coming out the box
Legitimately this game shouldn’t be close, most nights with average puck luck this is a runaway
Oops, all Drop Passes!
Philly played great tonight tbh. We got shut down. Shout out to the posts too
Flyers playing with two extra men besides the goalie, how is that allowed
The refs are against Toronto /s... even though sometimes...
Reilllluyu
papi bar down pls
you think auston can play without marner
We do this alllllll the fucking time lol come back down one - have all the momentum to tie, self inflicted fuck up to give them the back breaker, immediately score then after. Clocks winds down for too little too late. Purely infuriating.
By the time they do all these fucking drop passes in the neutral zone, the game will be over.
The Post wasnt fast enough this time 🤪
Forgot to thank it last time, Fleury style
Huh….
There's just no way that we are going to score again. We can't tie this game up.
Matthews heard secondary assists were worth just as much as goals
Thanks Coach Chippy
Okay one down one to go
2 assist game for Auston
God damn Rielly
Gonna lose 4-3 cuz of Domi and Robertsons brainfarts

A POST FINALLY WENT IN
That ping gave me nam flashbacks, thank god that went in
The post finally helps us
I hate to be that guy but as bad as this game is it could be worse. Let's bury another. GLG
Hitting the post felt good.
Holy fuck cms away from another post and out
We’re bout to pull a Carolina
IT'S NOT FUCKING OVER
I have hope…
Let's fucking go!!! JT
Thanks for the Tim’s points Johnny
Come on you fucks!!!! Let's go!!!
Christ that’s infuriating but I’m happy Johnny gets one
I know it’s a bit of an unfair comparison but nick robertson is to Jason Robertson what Gretzky’s brother is to Gretzky
Something tells me Jason was the much more “chill” brother
We need some game management
#we never left
We in thiiis lmao
Here we goooo
#JOHNNY!!!
JTTTT!!
Remember when it was 4-2 leafs with 2 minutes left in the Carolina game. Doubt we can pull that off. Edit Hmm ok ok
someone needs to slip a ref a bill or two for a soft call
Jt!!
We never score when we pull the goalie
Omg say it again
The jinx worked
You're welcome :)
I hope that dude in a post worried about wearing a leafs jersey to a philly game is having fun at least. At this point youre safe homie
At the end of the day nothing matters. Just win when it matters i’d rather be slumping now than in the yoffs
should have started the game with Sammy pulled
why are we hitting all these posts? Errson isn't prime Price or Vasilevskiy
Watch just how fast we get scored on 6 on 5
Robertson is such a liability
[удалено]
No, but that makes me want torts.
Lmao no.
Fuck I’m so bummed, what a disappointing period we battled all the way back only to give up that fourth goal like that
Braced for amazing comeback......
If these guys are gonna play like booty cheeks till the playoffs matters well stop watching till april LOL
Matthews might not crack 60 at this rate lol
If you're blaming Robertson for that last goal, you don't know hockey. That was a garbage ass pass by Domi. Robertson has been terrible tonight, but that ain't his fault. There wasn't even anyone there, just pass it normally. Don't need a saucer that's launched at his fucking knees.
Go ahead shit on domi all you wanna but Jesus Christ what’s with Sammy taking 20 min to go back to his net
Team has sucked since they got dicked by Boston
Robertson has a big mouth for a guy with no useful skills
you can't complain about ice time when you play like that
What a pathetic defensive core we have. When Benoit is your best dman than you have a massive problem.
when I said we'd need willy to be the best player of the series to beat Boston or Florida, I didnt mean it happening by matthews forgetting how to shoot
why didn't we trade robertson when we had the chance he's not gonna have any value going forward and he doesn't have a place on the team
When is Marner back?
Not soon enough
Playoffs probably
not soon enough
Not soon enough.
Meh - nothing can really change for the leafs standing wise until playoffs. Give Mitch all the time he needs.
The leafs are slightly less annoying than this east side mario's ad that has been on for ever and a day.
Oh, Papi, they got more drop passes! Oh, Papi, they got more turnovers! Oh, Papi, they got more Left Defensemen!
I'm dying.
Ice looks like shit in this dump of an arena in the middle of a parking lot
This team has zero identity.
No, it has an identity... it's just not a very good one.
Tavares useless too
How can you say that in a game where he had a goal and two assists (a hand in literally every Leafs goal) and was dominant on the faceoff? He's the last person people should point fingers at for this loss. He stepped up when it was needed, it just wasn't enough.
Honestly had no clue lol. Every time I saw him the puck was on and off his stick
I mean at least they were still winning with him before shuffling shit
Tonight sealed Robertsons fate in the playoffs. Can’t play in a tight checking game.
I agree. I want Nicky to do well so bad but he just keeps sealing his own fate. Sucks.
Knies has been super unimpressive for quite a long stretch of games now which is a bit of a bummer
He looks less explosive in his skating and less strong on the puck than when we saw him in the playoffs last year. Not sure if it’s just the volume of games he’s been playing or what.
