GDT: Apr 24 7:30pm - BwO and the Leafs vs TB: Freaking Game 4. Baby: ROR? No, the real hero so far is Squiffy's liver

[Nooodles]

This is Tampa in 6 easily. What a terrible f***ing performance. It's az NHL team vs an ECHL one

 

[hockeyes]

What was the game plan tonight? Looks like do absolutely nothing and hope to fluke another win? What the hell is this?

 

[3blizzard4]

Playing like crap. Zero urgency.

We have all seen this before.

 

[Confucius]

Nylander needs to watch the rest of the game from the safety of the bench.

He's doing absolutely nothing productive out there, just wasting ice time.

f*** his feelings.

Who has done anything?

 

[fahad203]

Why are we not capable of making quick passes? I see the pucking handlers staring down the place they are passing to or making terrible no look passes, just pass it quick!

You have to skate. We are not skating

 

[Gabriel426]

Cirelli's line is just dominating AM and MM.
Need to split AM and MM up and hope the line not playing Cirelli's line will be able to do some damage.
Don't know what Willie, ROR and Knies is not on a line after last game.
Keefe is out coaching himself again.

 

[Community]

Yeah but 4 full minutes of ice time tonight so far and all he has is one scoring chance.

Never said he's playing great. There's just no use in ridiculous hyperboles.

 

[Dragao6]

This is 100% going to 7 games and we know what will happen then

U think this is going to game 7?

Why do you think it’s going that far?

 

[Ziggdiezan]

If your two best players are on the same line and are doing f*** all, split it up for a bit. Simple as

 

[Nineteen67]

It’s not desire, it’s ability, and the Leafs big guns cannot play in these games.

 

[MarMarSab3]

Kerfoot Holl out Bunting Liljegren In for the love of god

 

[Mike4Leafs4ever]

This is 100% going to 7 games and we know what will happen then

Thats optimistic, it looks like Tampa in 6 with this play.

 

[rocketman588]

I don't understand our issue with forechecking is it because we're so used to skating it in or pulling it back to the D in the zone so they're all waiting on the perimeter?

Tampa has gone D to D in their own zone so many times

We're great at it when we try it so I have to think it's more of a system thing then effort

 

[Antropovsky]

Leafs have been outplayed 3 out of 4 games so far. This team is such a pathetic joke

Leafs are a better team on paper than last year and Tampa is worse...yet the leafs are getting dominated more than last.

Is it the coach? Is it the players? We don't know... Dubas didn't make a change. So we are in a limbo.

 

[Baki Erg]

Well, and just like that, the series is even. See you game 5.

 

[Aashir]

Feels like Tampa is on a permanent powerplay. Cooper making Keefe look like the clown he is.

This isn’t even just cooper, their guys just care more

 

[JadedLeaf]

It's not like Tampa has been changing up their playbook, it's been the same thing almost all series and Keefe can't figure out how to counter the 1-3-1.

 

[Mopar]

Keefe has to see how bad the Tavares line right right?

......right?

Can't wait until we have a real coach. Unfortunately it could end up coming after another lost season.

 

[Burnie97]

Can't keep these lines at all now.

Matty with Nylander

Marner with Tavares or maybe even Knies with ROR and nylander and JT to the third line.

They have to create tougher matchups on the road.

Again to me it's a team that's been here so many times and it's like they came out to try not to lose... so frustrating. Just standing around.

Go f***ing attack Tampa get them on their heels. Get the next one and go from there.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Nylander Tavares Kerfoot line

It is bad

We need Marner on that line

Knies Matthews Nylander

 

[thewave]

Leafs have been outplayed 3 out of 4 games so far. This team is such a pathetic joke

Good team on paper, horrible mentality and approach with crappy coaching as the icing on the cake.

 

[Gilmour1996]

on pace for 12 f***ing shots this game. How the f*** did we manage to have a team full of players that don't want to play more than 82 games in a season?

Many were taking games off long before they reached 82. So much for the regular season not mattering...all about the playoffs, lol.

 

[TakeTheBody]

Seems like the Leafs are happy with a split. If that's the case. This is going to Game7. And we will never win the Cup with an attitude like this. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Steven1562]

That 2nd goal was killer. Down 1 after 1 period and you can kind of settle down. But the late period goals have killed us all series.

 

[Dave92]

Matthews and Marner showed what losers they truly were in the MTL series.

That should have been the end of this core.

At least this is guaranteed to be the final straw.
