Series Talk: [A1] Toronto Maple Leafs vs [WC1] Ottawa Senators | Part II (TOR lead 3-1)

[Strangle]

He knew what he was doing but he did lose and edge. If you want him to pull up, cut off that lane. Marner was soft and gave the lane.

Marner was in the lane and had a hard time cutting the angle because greig was quick to get a step in front of him.

But do you know who didn’t ’lose an edge’? Mitch Marner. Do you know who was going just as fast in the exact same direction? Marner

Why didn’t Marner lose an edge? I’ll tell you why, because greig knew he was driving with the purpose of attempting to injure our goaltender

 

[cyris]

Well well well

I’m sure it’s nothing but even if it isn’t Woll with his 1.78GAA and .933 save% in the playoffs is still better than playoff Ullmark

 

[Leaf Fans]

Because Leafs never cry about how the refs are always against them. It’s hockey.

Somefns never stop, it is the same with all the teams.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Ullmark has never been .900 in the playoffs and after game one it doesn't look promising this time either.

That's some top goalie.

 

[thusk]

He should have stopped to avoid contact with marner? Not his fault Marner gave him the outside lane. Gotta cut the guy off before the net if you don’t want him to lose an edge while he cuts to the net.

Everyone knew Greig was gonna drive the net. Marner played it soft and gave him the lane.

if you're taking the decision to cut without get the space for it( get a small edge or not) even if you get push and without any attempt to avoid contact with goalie... It's goalie interference

But yeah with 4 goal lead, leafs had been soft on that pp in neutral zone and gave up too much time and space and he was clear greig would just drive the net whatever what and doesn't care about anything else

 

[Strangle]

Matt Murray is also a better playoff goalie than ullmark

There’s going to be a lot of crying in here when the Sens win this series. Not concerned at all after last nights game. Stay out of the box and Ottawa has a good chance any night. It was nice to watch first hand why this leafs team hasn’t gone far in the playoffs in previous years. Win a round here and there, but they don’t have the talent to go deep. Matthew’s was invisible and Ottawa wasn’t doing anything special. Odd.

Matthews made one of the best passes you’ll ever see in a hockey game to spring Marner for his breakaway goal

There is a lot of crying now, and it has only been one game. Why would it continue if the Sens win the series? They would be celebrating. Some fans would cry though I suppose.

The only part of that I'd agree with is Ottawa wasn't doing anything special.

Odd that two assists made Matthews invisible.

Greig is a bitch, plain and simple. Should be suspended at least 1 game for that cross check tbh. Matthews got suspended for 2 for the same play, Rielly got 5.

I bet Sens fans wished Playoff Warrior had two assists.

Just sayin', Matthews had two assists (more points than any Sen) and 6 shots on goal. Also 4 hits. I wouldn't call that invisible.

 

[REALTALK81]

Was it the refs who let OEL and Marner walk down main street or was it was the piss poor play of the Sens? Those early goals buckled Ottawa. That's what happens when you leave your goalie hang out to dry because you were too busy being playoff warriors. I expect a better game 2 but can see Stutzle reverting back to his old tricks.

Kadri got an entire series

Tkachump didn’t even make a single mean face all night

 

[Just Rude]

Why does the Leafs winning mean that Ottawa "rolled over"? I don't think Ottawa will roll over. They just aren't as good as the Leafs, and they will struggle to win games against this Toronto team. I don't think it's any more complicated than that.

I didn’t mean because the Leafs won the Sens rolled over. JFC.

I meant because they lost a game they aren’t going to roll over. They’re going to keep coming. It’s actually a compliment.

You’re right. It’s not complicated.

The leafs really do need to expect a different sens team tomorrow night.

Can’t take their foot off the gas because Ottawa had one bad noght

If the Leafs keep playing a patient game, Ottawa will be in tough to respond.

Pretty much this, people hate on Leafs fans simply for being confident and supporting their team, aka basic fanbase behaviour. You can never win with them.

Wild levels of arrogance when this rendition of your team is 1-8 in playoffs series after 1 game is hardly basic fanbase behavior. You guys have never been there and it shows.

 

[bert]

Greig is doing a good job of playing the little bitch boy role. Let's see if it catches up to him.

Just in your kitchen.

Ottawa had more high danger scoring chances, more shots 2 more minutes of zone time at 5 on 5 and the pp's were 6 to 1. Switch the goalies and the score is flipped. Keep up the unbridled arrogance leaf fans this series is over!

Leafs took the foot off the pedal in period 3 . Prior to that Toronto was leading in most of the fancy stats ( believe they were posted a few pages back , showed the results from first 2 ) . Score effects matter

So we’re not allowed to be happy until you say so. Got it. In the meantime, keep up those sermons about arrogance.

Speaking of never having been there, it sure showed with the Sens team last night.

It was 2 to 1 and Stolarz stopped Tkachuk on a break away and Pinto point blank. Then the outrageous penalty on stutzle stopped all the sens momentum when the leafs scored on the pp that never should have happend.

If the goalies are switched what do you think the score would have been? Ullmark didnt make a save all game. To act like this was some wild beating and the series is over is hilarious. Especially for a team that has shown time and time again different and creative ways to lose. I am by no means saying I expect Ottawa to come back, they were dogs from the start. But there is just 0 self awareness going on in this thread.
