Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[Evilhomer]

Yeah great skaters. Boston D constantly have to worry about their forwards carrying the puck out

We lost a lot of speed over the years. Matthews allergic to carrying the puck and not a fast skater
Tavares is a snail

Our Centers are slow

The loss of team speed has been a significant issue for the Leafs.

 

[ToneDog]

Bennett and Josh Anderson are classic case of players evolving into toughness games that they weren't known for

Bennett was known for feistiness, not the A hole he has turned out to be
Anderson was never known for fighting at all apparently even in his first year with Columbus

Then one fine morning he shifted his game. Even fought Chara



It's a good thing we didn't

We couldn't have Collin Blackwell, Joe Thornton at the age of 40, Wayne Simmonds who was done, Jimmy Vessey, Barabanov, Malgin, Foligno who didn't score a single goal for us

I wonder why sometimes I wanna punch Dubas

Get in line. Your estimated wait time is a week.

Bruins are fading.

Panthers just scored 2 PP goals on a double minor. We had 1 in 21 chances in 7 games.

You also have Marner who thinks he's got all the time in the world to slow the game down in the playoffs.

Welcome back to reality, Jeremy. Sucks doesn't it?

 

[PromisedLand]

Florida put 3 on Swayman/Bruins and its just two periods

tell me your blood doesn't boil looking at the players like marner and tavares are together making 22 million in cap hits and absolutely suck donkey balls in the playoffs

 

[mikeyz]

Florida makes Boston pay for that double minor.

In hindsight. I am actually kinda glad we lost that game 7 O.T. Because looking at how this series is shaping up now, and how the Panthers are looking ATM, there is absolutely no f***ing chance in hell we were beating them.

Bruins up to their old tricks. 8 SOG after the 2nd.

Impossible with Swayman in net...

He was never that good. We just made him look good.

 

[GQS]

Looking at how the Panthers move the puck around and how they're looking for deflections, tip ins, open shots etc. There's no reason why the Leafs can't do the same and its mind boggling that their powerplay was so bad in comparison. So many Leafs shots were relatively easy saves while the Panthers can find different ways to beat a good goalie like Swayman.

 

[Peasy]

People still thinking Bruins fans arent annoyed lol?

 

[fahad203]

It's a good thing we lost to Boston. We would have been swept and humiliated by Florida

On top of that if we had made it to the second round Keefe would have saved his job

I hate envying other teams. I really do but here I am envying florida

I wouldn't mind if Tkachuk fed Marner a few like he did Pasta.

He is good, we made him look great like every other goalie in the playoffs (except Vasi last year).

They don't have Rielly and Marner quarterbacking their PP.

Everyone of Florida's players on their powerplay are capable shooters...we got 2 muffin shot artists in Marner and Rielly, so the opponents just focus on Matthews and Willy, and tie up Tavares in front of the net if he gets the puck.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

God damn man Florida would have torn us to f***ing shreds lmao

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Dude, we made f***ing SODERBLOM look good. Guy played in 32 games this year and won FIVE of them. TWO against us. Lmao. Making goalies look good is our Stanley Cup.

 

[leafsfan5]

Florida would've beat us in 5 games or less

 

[Leaffan1991]

The reason we can't score in the playoffs is because they don't go into the dirty areas and try and get greasy goals, all other teams get a bunch of traffic in front of the net and take point shots

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Panthers in 3
