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

[Bellefour20]

Just like Bunting, Nylander expected a physical interaction. The bolts hit and play dirty and make teams expect more of the same with each play. Then, with eyes on the refs, they turn into angels and get their opponents to make the wrong move.

 

[mcleafs]

So much blame to go around but for me no one more so than Matthews. Staring down yet another brutal playoff performance.

He’s just not good. Reg season hero. Can’t play when it matters.

it is desire. if you f***ing want it; you go out there and f***ing get it. not jsut talk about how much you want it

losers talk the walk; winners walk the f***ing talk

They’re trying, they just can’t play in these games. We’ve seen it for 7 yrs. Every time.

 

[Teeder Keon]

So who‘s he supposed to replace those players with?

You do something ??
Something ?
But what you don’t do is stand pat
This isn’t a period of poor hockey !

[Aashir]

The Nylander line is a liability on ice.

And yet keefe sees it as our biggest strength

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Judging by the last 4-5 periods, I think Tampa is taking it in 6.

Fair, leafs will leaf though. I'm thinking 7

 

[Cleetus]

did these guys forget how to hockey or something just awful stuff

 

[robertmac43]

One shot and you are back in this game. Just got to show some life to get it.

 

[thewave]

The Nylander line is a liability on ice.

Keefe is the liability on the bench that makes it happen.

 

[Smif]

No point is singling him out when this team is run by a literal Muppet meme coach. This team is not even in the game, hasn't been in 3 games of this series. They are playing like trash.

This is so true, Leafs have played well in one game out of 3.3 games played.

 

[Aashir]

Funnily enough he wasn’t even the regular season hero this year, heard he’s saving it for the playoffs

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Matthews needs to take a viagra or something before the game
I have plenty Auston, you can borrow some

It's actually Kamaga, indian version of Viagra. Crazy stuff

Pass the dutchie bro

Perbix, ask your doctor

 

[ihadtochangethename]

tampa targeting knies says a lot

 

[WildWolfdog]

Yeah, but you see, if we put in Liljegren instead of Holl, then he might make the same mistakes that Holl makes regularly.

I hear ya - we're all hoping for better. Maybe game 5 Bunting and Lilly are in?

 

[Warden of the North]

Hopefully they figured some shit out during intermission and get going.

Either that or get the blowout going soon so I can shut this crap off for the night.

 

[Apotheosis]

I mean... they had Marleau as a mentor. Literally never injured through out his entire career, all his teeth, stripped of his captaincy, left San Jose for more money....

Seems like the young leafs learned alot from their mentor.

Also never won anything either. Serial loser.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

They fail again I hope it's a complete tear down.

 

[Gabriel426]

MM is not jumpy as usual.
AM is just not getting a clear shot or getting himself free.
JT is lost out there for whatever reason.
Willie is just bad.

The boys need to pick up their game bc they can do it. Even though Vas made all 5 saves, he looks shaky at best.

 

[fahad203]

Well lets see what great speech Sheldon gave his team
Lets see how this team responds

 

[Nineteen67]

No point is singling him out when this team is run by a literal Muppet meme coach. This team is not even in the game, hasn't been in 3 games of this series. They are playing like trash.

Nylander, Marner and Matthews are simply not good enough.

 

[GoonieFace]

That Fiala penalty was a disgrace.

Guess we can look past the 2 LA OT PP winners than

 

[Kiwi]

This team needs to calm down and start working/skating

They just don't want to put in the work to be successful

Luckily we have time to turn this **** show around

 

[theTTC]

Nah I aint buying that. They are not that much better to be out playing us like this. Come on bro. Something is way off

Strangely, it looks that way to me too. Something wrong, beyond the usual disappearing act. Willy pouting and just going through the motions is simply one sympton.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Tampa has clearly adjusted since game 2. It’s your move Keefe, do something

What is funny is that they are just doing the exact same thing that they always do. They haven't changed lines or matchups. They haven't really changed their approach. They are just executing better and working harder.

Would be nice if our players did the same for once. Seems like it is always on Keefe to make changes to figure it out while Cooper is just out there doing what he always does for how many years now? It is on the players to figure it out. That is what Tampa did.
