GDT: Apr. 27, 7:00pm: The BWO proudly presents "The Leafs vs TB - It's Game 5 Baby!" - The Opposite Edition

[Teeder Keon]

I’ve said this time and time again

Versteeg said the same

Rosey said the same

Many of you have said the same

We will win even with Koalas stubborn and asinine coaching

 

[BTP]

HOLL SUCKS

get that shit outta here.

 

[Stephen]

If there was anyone Bunting could have came in for it was him. Don't notice him unless he's losing the puck.

Just win.

Yeah, I wouldn't have minded Bunting in over Lafferty, but I don't mind him out either. Tampa Bay seems to have toned down their intimidation tactics so let's just focus on winning this one.

 

[stats1]

Someone tell Keefe he’s the only one that sees Holl the way he does. Everyone else says he sucks. Stop playing him so much

 

[TheShape]

Keefe with a healthy lineup of horses playing on home ice and the 4th line is out there what feels like every other shift. Makes my head hurt.

Holl is a f***ing disgrace of a hockey player. Brutal.

Agreed. Ride the horses, empty the tank and close this out. Lots of time to rest between rounds.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Holl on that first goal was even more of a disaster than I thought. Missed the hit, tried to go the bench, turned back to his net, dropped his stick, ended up near half wall when the puck went in.

Jfc he should’ve been making a beeline to the front of the net after he missed the hit.

 

[Legendary]

get that shit outta here.

U cant be serious

 

[robertmac43]

Holl is a f***ing disgrace of a hockey player. Brutal.

His only redeeming thing is the PK and he took the darn penalty this period.

 

[TakeTheBody]

I Hope the Leafs are as ornery as the Bolts when they age. ( hopefully with all their accomplishments)

 

[Voodoo Child]

About as good as I could have hoped for - Tampon came out hard in the first eightish minutes but then the Leafs held play for the rest.

Irritating that they score and Tampa answers right back but whatever at least it’s only tied, that weasel Kucherov took a hard ride into the boards and Tampa is taking a ton of risks.

 

[Antropovsky]

Mitch three blocks, TBS guys raving about him.

Got it, thanks Paul ... This would be a great game for him to set up or get a gwg in an elimination game!

 

[authentic]

Definitely not a great period but not a horrible one.

2nd period is typically where the Leafs do good, at least regular season, so I hope they turn it up.

This series as well

 

[Steven1562]

Finish the hits on Hedman, Point and Kucherov!!! Make them feel it.

 

[BTP]

deep breaths everyone, we good.

 

[Stephen]

Definitely not a great period but not a horrible one.

2nd period is typically where the Leafs do good, at least regular season, so I hope they turn it up.

I'm also watching to see if Tampa likes doing the hard work early and if they fade as the minutes pile up and the game wears on.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Damn wtf Hedman grabbed the trainer like he was his kid doing something wrong lol.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Or did you mean Bobby Kline

Robert
GLG

 

[Stephen]

Hedman in discomfort. He should probably take tonight off.

 

[GQS]

Holl is a f***ing disgrace of a hockey player. Brutal.

Holl hasn't been completely horrible, but damn he has been far from being really good. Don't know why Keefe is so in love with him that he wouldn't give Liljegren a shot with how Holl has been playing. I can't imagine if Liljegren made so many mistakes that he would see the playoffs again short of coming in for injuries and yet Holl keeps getting back in again and again regardless of his play.

Really frustrating and confusing.

 

[Altair]

Good thing 2nd periods are usually our best. Tampa threw its best punch but we weathered the storm.

Exactly this! We need to come out swinging!

 

[crump]

Crowd is great. With a little luck Nylanders 5 hole shot goes in, nice hits by McCabe and ZAR. Sammy looks steady. Just wear these guys down.

 

[Mopar]

Tampa playing for their lives. Expected them to come out strong. Tied after 1. Time to take this thing over in the 2nd period.

 

[sxvnert]

Damn wtf Hedman grabbed the trainer like he was his kid doing something wrong lol.

Then realized the cameras were on him and calmed the f*** down

 

[Antropovsky]

Keefe with a healthy lineup of horses playing on home ice and the 4th line is out there what feels like every other shift. Makes my head hurt.

Holl is a f***ing disgrace of a hockey player. Brutal.

A sportsnet or TSN analyst pointed out that Bunting should've came in given how bad the advanced stats have been of the 4th line. He convinced me... I previous thought we should not change what's worked (though needed late game heroics)

 

[Magic Man]

We dominated them physically all period long. Battered and bruised all there big boys. McCabe was on a mission.

Rielly continues his impressive play.
