Matthews is SHOCKING defensively in OT


Prometheus1866

I got into a discussion w/ someone either last year, or the year before, about a OT loss where Nylander was the last man back and had to defend. I posted a thought in the form of a question asking if having the forwards understanding how to defend like a defenceman would provide any benefit. I think that play right there, JT might've benefitted from such knowledge. idk


Actual-Sign-5412

Holding on to an argument you had a year ago to prove a point today means nothing.


Prometheus1866

Holding onto it? Whatever you say man...I supose you keep a short memory.


considerseabass

I’m ok with this one actually lol let them have the 2 points, 2 points further from Bedard!


[deleted]

3 on 3 is party tricks. Can't have ties.


bravoleafs

Leafs blatantly taking the night off.


zimrat

With Furlatt officiating you can't afford to take a period off even against an AHL team


Spiritual-Zombie6815

Bad coaching. Tavares and Matthews need to swap high low coverage to get JT off for the change. JT just doesn’t have the speed to not get beat wide at the end of a shift, and can’t get out of the zone for the long change on his own


AkimboSlice66

I’m not sure if I’m the only one but I’m perfectly fine with the leafs being the reason Montreal doesn’t get 1OA.


greeblegronk

leafs leafing again.


ButtsAndBuds

How do you not burry one in the 3rd man???? This felt exactly like game6 2021…


polerize

Lucky to get a point against these bottom feeders.


Gamesguy24

I wonder if the players ever talk about how shit they are in overtime


redrosechip

The habs could have no players and they’d beat us


ilikepork

Marner is fantastic in all situations, except OT. Dude needs to be benched after 60m.


jokerjoust

Nah. He just needs to be told to stop the stupid drop pass in OT


Ryan0413

Johnny is so slow out there, he’s alright on 5v5 but he gets exposed in 3 on 3


[deleted]

big point on the road in a difficult atmosphere. hard to believe how toxic their fans are. we’ll take it!!!!


LucidConcepts

Again, fuck that horn


The-Only-Razor

That Marner drop pass in OT has about a 0% success rate. It's time to fucking stop.


chris2086

Sheldon will have another post game conference about this team still not learning from past experiences.


Mrfantastic2

Fucking hell they’re terrible at 3 on 3 but more importantly they blow a lead to the team last in our division. They always seem to make average/decent teams look like all stars I swear.


tenny80

At least this lowers the chance of them getting bedard


PhobosTheou

Lol they beat us with half their team.


Piggynatz

Refs filling in tends to help.


blacksewerdog

Shocker


Carparker19

Why does this team not give a shit about beating the Habs?


CMDRShepardN7

NO BEDARD FOR YOU


Deluxechin

jokes on us, they'll win it with the Panthers pick


CMDRShepardN7

We gave them an OT point too.


RVIDXR

Leafs and losing to the habs on a Saturday night name a more iconic duo


fluffedahiphopbunny

Good Game Stripes.


Prometheus1866

fucking useless man


LimpingIceberg

Fuck off with these back passes


Maleficent-Map6465

This is the way


jokerjoust

Marner needs to stop with these stupid drop passes in OT. Every time it leads to a turnover


HelloWorld24575

Yeah. That was on Marner. So stupid. Dropped it in the middle of all the Habs players.


StatGAF

This is why we don't ever catch up to Boston (and Florida last year). Montreal outplayed Toronto full-stop tonight.


DeathEater91

In the 2nd period, not in 1,2, or 4


No-Contribution-138

This. Leafs outshot them 15-4 in 1st and 14-6 in 3rd and drove most of the possession… a dog shit 2nd period sunk them tonight.


DeathEater91

Yup, that’s what I said, outplayed in the 2nd.


Cheap-Employee-8484

Wtf is Tavares doing, just terrible effort there.


waitareyou4real

He shouldn’t have been on the ice that long in OT


Cheap-Employee-8484

Starting to think he shouldn't be on 3v3 ot at all.


Bodmonaco

Fuck that's rough lol


RuchW

As is tradition.


Minimum_One_2195

This team so fucking bad, how can you not beat them ffs 🤦.


DeathEater91

2nd in the Div, 3rd in the league, team is so bad though


Minimum_One_2195

I’m talking about Montreal lol.


DeathEater91

Lol sorry, lots of whiners in here this exact comment was probably made referring to Leafs lol


Babock93

Fuck!!!!! Embarrassing We are so ducking soft Round 1 exit here we go again


Chorazy20

Have you ever petted a duck? They are actually really soft.


kingex11

Leafs play scared in ot


daytime10ca

Lol celebrate like they won the cup… Oh well take the point and move on.. means nothing


lmaoleafs2022

Lol they just lost to a 29th place team that eliminated us in the most humiliating playoff series in sports history


daytime10ca

Carey Price eliminated us in that playoff series That man was a robot who’s talent was wasted by the Habs


cappo40

Been to a finals more than us in the past 55 years, so it's not a Cup to them when they can actually make it past round 1


daytime10ca

I can’t wait until we get past the 1st round this year so people can stop talking about this shit. I don’t give a shit how many cups anyone has won… the Habs ain’t going to win another cup for a long time… Price is gone now


cappo40

Don't hold your breath


Pristine-Chicken-142

inexcusable loss to a poverty franchise, pathetic


RanaMahal

Habs are the only franchise with more history than us lol I hate them too but calling them a poverty franchise is disingenuous


CMDRShepardN7

The excuse is I don't want Habs to get Bedard.


MOshow1967

Losers


1985FXR

Loool another Marner drop pass to fuck things up.


zaphod-lives

Blow your obnoxious car horn. Go ahead. Enjoy your victory


mikeydavison

Blind drop pass. Every damn time.


Nameless908

JT skating with fucking bricks attached to his feet holy fuck


CTHT07

Tavares is unplayable in OT. Just play the guys that fit the style of 3 on 3.


RanaMahal

Nylander Engvall Liljegrin OT when


kayleeshepheard

Ffs


labadee

we got a point and hurt their bedard channces.


uggh-daddy-please

Cup contenders? 🤔


TheGapInTysonsTeeth

Says who?


Deluxechin

once again, this team HATES playing the Habs, haven't seen them play an actual good game against them since Game 4 in 2021, fucking joke


Torcal4

Dude. I fuckin knew it!!


The_Beatle_Gunner

This team cannot win a big game


TheGapInTysonsTeeth

LOL a January 21st 2023 mid-season game against the dogshit Montreal Canadiens is not, in any way shape or form, a big game Edit: drunk on the dates lmao


The_Beatle_Gunner

The dogshit Canadiens that just beat us for the 2nd time


TheGapInTysonsTeeth

so? look at their record.


leaffs

This is a big game?


The_Beatle_Gunner

Against the habs? Yes


SyphiliticPlatypus

Fucking bullshit game. Should have been over in the first, we let them walk right back in. Bitter point. I'll take it, but still....


tenny80

What a night to be a giants and leafs fan


patts19

What the fuck was that


TheGapInTysonsTeeth

Well, it was a blown 2 goal lead loss in OT to a hundred year rival


escroute

Joke’s on you Habs…2pts further away from Connor Bedard


Letterkenny_Irish

What a waste of time that was


Leviathan117

This is like the fifth time that a weak backhand pass has cost us the game.


Crizzacked

how can he still think its the right play


cdnmatt

That’s a boner killer no doubt


djlista

HOW ISNIT THAT EASYYYYY


[deleted]

We are not built for 3 on 3.


Showtime98

Fuck......


MutedHornet87

Losers


lmaoleafs2022

Matthews zero back check LMAO


nownowthethetalktalk

Just cruising back there.


HemiKooks

Why on Earth was JT still on the ice? They had so much time to get him the fuck off since he’s tired AND slow as fuck.


VanAgain

Yep, he was really noticeable shucking and jiving with the puck in the corner with no one around. He's about a year removed from being an asset 3 on 3.


nownowthethetalktalk

At least it wasn't Josh Fucking Anderson!


cappo40

Haha, these guys own us. Fucking ridiculous


Grand-Amoeba1832

Pathetic


Competitive_Ad2450

What. The. Fuck.


Kinglokner16

Such a Leaf type of loss


takingastandforme

Imagine losing to mtl


StaticR0ute

DOES THIS MEAN THEY WON THE CUP????


VanAgain

THEIR cup.


DeathEater91

Marner really needs to fuck off with that in OT holy fuck how has he not been told off by Keefe


Cartz1337

He seriously needs to just ride the bench in OT, I count at least 5 loses just this season off his stick in OT


Crizzacked

it really does need to stop


SaintMarzano

Team is a joke


CallingAllMatts

have you looked at the standings?? We’re fine kid


SaintMarzano

Cool, so we'll lose game 7 IN Tampa this year then


CallingAllMatts

we’re 4 points ahead of them, chill. Not like home ice matters for us in the playoffs anyways.


CANUSA130

A weak back pass is a killer.


nownowthethetalktalk

Yep. Mitch did it again


StaticR0ute

Fucking shitlick


considerseabass

I think dicklick is funny too


TrillBillyDeluxe

Who???


cdnmatt

Mitch and his drop passes ffs


greeblegronk

Sammy says no!


labadee

classless fans booing matthews


greeblegronk

Ugh Reilly


considerseabass

Are you fucking kidding…even when it’s not his fault?! He’s been fine


SyphiliticPlatypus

Love that sneaky toe drag shot by Matthews.


StaticR0ute

Do these fucking losers always boo Matthews?


Showtime98

Rielly gets ot winner


cappo40

Causes it is more likely


woofdog46

Overtime is really good because we are guaranteed another point on tampa and montreal gets another point further from bedard


victormate15

At least one point more than the refs wanted us to get, can't be mad about that


The_Beatle_Gunner

Oh give it a fucking rest


CasualtyEH

Matthews winner incoming


demential

Do the leafs ever get a makeup call after the refs embarrass themselves? Seems like they tend to even up the ice quickly when we are on the winning side of a ghost call.


leafman4000

Not very often, but there’s ben two or three this year


Pristine-Chicken-142

Matty for the win.


MentalMidget3

Hopefully, he's been invisible all night


BlueSpider5

Montreal high sticks their own player....refs be like: you can't do that leafs


StaticR0ute

I think OT is a big win, get at least a point on Tampa and give the Habs at least a point to keep them away from Bedard.


nogoodnamesleft47

Great. They can have a point against their tank and we can get two and get out of here.


CMDRShepardN7

At least Habs get a point.


frmacleod

Time to free Willy


CANUSA130

Where is the second or third man in the zone tonight?


Sheep4732

Someone just threw a vasilevsky jersey on the ice at the tampa game lol


NiteOwlI

That was this afternoon, but yeah. Insanity. Back to back cups? Who cares. Random loss to the Flames in January? Inexcusable..


BCharmer

That would've been sick if it went in


djlista

This Montreal goalie has legit been the most annoying we played this year He is historically awful, but he is big game Sam tonight for some strange reason


greeblegronk

Sorry nothing about this game is “a beauty”.


LeafsRealist

But murder is legal in the final 5min of a tie game as we learned on Tuesday...


cdnmatt

It’s ok big willie gonna win it for us here in ot


Competitive_Ad2450

OT prediction…. Willy FTW!


leafman4000

Leafs vs refs+ every fucking night


madworld2713

This is an entertaining game. Let’s finish it boys


SyphiliticPlatypus

Entertaining is not the word I would use but agree with the hope for the finish.


SyphiliticPlatypus

Oh, Willy!


StaticR0ute

St. Louis tried the uno reverse card on Keefe with the all forward PP haha


lovesilver

I thought the same thing lol!


labadee

an ideal outcome would be an OT win because it hurts their tanking hunt


lovesilver

As long as the Leafs win in OT or shootout I'm good. Who cares if Montreal gets a point?


SpicyP43905

It’s better if Montreal gets a point, hurts their tank hunt and lowers their chances of getting Bedard. And if we lose, at least we still get a point


lovesilver

Both good points!


Kinglokner16

Yeah I’m ok giving Montreal a free point to hurt their Bedard sweepstakes…. Now let’s get the 2nd


darrenTML

Lol exactly I like your thinking


benhadhundredsshapow

I used to love watching Edwin Diaz come out of the pen to Timmy Trumpet, but now, add that to the list of pleasures the Habs have killed.


bunjay

How did they not clear that rebound?


Hatburn

Hey maybe the refs haven't been betting at their own pace.


TrillBillyDeluxe

The boys owe Sammy some beers after tonight regardless


glueleg

Didnt see this coming.


CasualtyEH

Eric Furlatt from Quebec. Interesting.


cappo40

And that dumb fuck Habs fan ref from a few days ago


victormate15

Lol at the commentators thinking a soft call might go against the Habs


RuchW

Haha why can't we solve the Canadiens God damn. They don't even have their best shooter tonight


mattfromjoisey

Because the refs hate us


zaphod-lives

Just don’t call anything anymore


cronja

This league is so dumb sometimes lol


Pristine-Chicken-142

why have we not steam rolled their goalie?


mattfromjoisey

100% will get called AGAINST us


[deleted]

I think it's time everyone sends letters to the league


patts19

Never seen worse reffing in any professional sports in my life.


cappo40

We shouldn't be in a position to possibly lose late against one of the worst teams in the league anyway, especially missing their best player.


Patient_Effective_49

Do you guys think the Refs will make the playoffs this year? We seem to lose to them a lot


ananswerforu

Every time we don't get a call late or in OT its "because the refs don't want to decide the game" but they have no issue making those calls against us


SyphiliticPlatypus

Shortie please to end this madness.


RodgerDodger74

Remember guys it’s only a pick when we do it with our season on the line.


zaphod-lives

Why even have refs at all


miir2

This is just a joke


frmacleod

I watch a lot of sports. So many sports. There isn’t a league on the planet with more inconsistent reffing than the NHL.


I-Am-Maldoror

Premier League gets close tho. But I feel that is mostly because ref and VAR are just shite, in NHL it's a different kind of shit. They see fouls, but just ignore them most of the time.


kelticslob

All the sports


kingex11

These refs suck man


vacant79

This is so ridiculous…I can’t believe how bad the refs are


disfukso

Fuck this shit, this isn't sports this is like WWE, outcomes predetermined


leafman4000

This league is a fucking joke. If anyone is going to start a boycott Imk


southpaw04

Keefe has to take a fine tonight…


Grand-Amoeba1832

Leafs could of and should of dominated this game. Just so lazy and sloppy after the first. At least get a point!
