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

[sxvnert]

This team needs 6 or 7 OReillys, then maybe they stand a chance to win the series.

 

[Mess]

Tampa really controlled the play in the 1st as the Leafs look really flat.

Hopefully Leafs can turn this around after intermission.

 

[Remu]

Willy's having a bad series. We need playoff Willy stat.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

I hate Kerfoot

 

[Antropovsky]

Matthews with these cute f***in passes. So sick of it.

Both him and Marner... with their trick passes. Soft, slow plays... they're being eaten alive.

 

[On-the-Fly]

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.

Ok fine. But to say Dubas didn't make a change? That's nuts.

 

[GojuLeaf]

Anyone picking out a player to call out is wasting time. The entire team is doing absolutely nothing. Our best chance came from David Kampf.

 

[tom leafers]

Please god change up the lines

 

[Nooodles]

I get that nothing is working, but for a good forecheck all you have to do is skate f***ing hard, yet we are doing nothing.

What the f***?

Also f*** Keefe for that 2nd line. That shit never ever worked.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

I think Matthews has lost every puck battle he's been in tonight.

Every leaf has. Embarrassing

 

[3blizzard4]

Knies got labelled along the boards.

Next shift by the Leafs was as if a nothing happened.

No one came to the rescue of the kid.

I hate this passive stoic nonsense

 

[Wendelstache]

Look like Edmonton in last night's LA game. How the end result is the same. Lots of time left.

Hopefully the refs bail the Leafs out like they did the Oilers.

 

[fahad203]

Cooper only matching against Matthews line. Take Marner off his line and change it up. Put Marner-O'Rielly-Knies together and Tavares between Kerfoot and Acciari.

Just play him 25-30 mins. Simple has that
They are young, they can handle it

Gilmour used to play 25 mins a game, which was normal for him

 

[PromisedLand]

team that has gone to 3 cup finals and won 2; and has a depleted roster has more desperation in their game than the team that keeps exiting in the 1st round.

Is there a equipment guy on the Leafs bench reading this post? if yes, just slap teh stupid out of keefe

 

[Aashir]

And honestly it’s time for Matthews to step the f*** up. He can grab secondary assists all he wants but he has to score some goals. His excuse was saving for the playoffs, nows the time. Get one for the team using your shot early

 

[Mr Papagoergyo]

Very weak plays by our star forwards they really don't want it at all.
Matthews and Marner on the 4th line plz

 

[Leafidelity]

I cant handle this coach, man

 

[IPS]

I feel like I've been gaslit again with the Dubas apologists telling the board non stop that the Leafs are good in the playoffs and it's all just bad luck. Even the staunchest Dubas defender has to be worried that this is a fundementally flawed core watching these last 4 periods.

 

[ACC1224]

Be great if they could win a puck battle once in a while.

 

[budzz]

Still early guys. We knew we had to suffer an early onslaught by a 3 straight stanley cup final team. We haveny got our speed or crisp passes, hopefully they wake up. Lots of time. Change the damn lines up, we had lots of practice with that last 10-12 games. Let's go guys!

Oh and willy, wake the F up.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Like 7 years with this core and multiple coaching staff and GMs and a revolving door of supporting cast, and we still don’t have a game plan to counter a 1-3-1.

Tampa is clogging up the neutral zone and standing up at the blue line.

Legit might be time to go back to Babcock’s stretch pass hockey

 

[Nineteen67]

This is barely a playoff style game. Leafs haven't even left 2nd gear yet.

They can’t. This is exactly what I expected this game to be like.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Third game in a row they been completely outplayed
I don’t have your confidence

Have confidence in the fact the leafs will find a way to lose in the most spectacular ways lol

 

[Confucius]

Tampa consistently has two guys digging for the puck in the corners, we have one and he appears to not want to be there.

 

[Atomos2]

Leafs look powerless. Like they are just fine being the inferior of the two teams. Very similar to the weak teams of the past doomed to repeat it
