Still could've won game 5 too if not for Galchenyuk having an stroke not even a minute into OT.

Or mikheyev making contact on that rebound at the end of the third period.

We had a lot of strokes over those three games. That is why we lost.

We'd be fine if we could figure out how not to have a stroke.

Willy was so good too

Willy was so good too

He was until he had his own stroke and backed his ass into price and mtl pp decided to wake up.

LOL...what's with all these fitting words to describe the Leafs...stroke, joke, choke...even croak would work...or the cloak of invisibility for the Leafs stars down the stretch...

Meh, at least it is the type of problem that can allow us to go far in a short period of time if it is fixed. We eliminate those mental midget periods and we would be able to beat any team in this league in a 7 game series.

I think it's stupid to cry after Tavares. It was plain bad luck and we should have sustained that, but saying that Tavares wouldn't have made difference? Come on, Habs added Caufield and Kotkaniemi, they made difference. You don't think two way ppg center wouldn't make difference for us. Tavares would have added matchup nightmare for Habs, even Nylander did that. Tavares would have magnified that even more.

Well I do think tavares would have made a big difference, not just with his own play but the fact that leafs had to reshuffle multiple things to make up for that loss

scheiffle I don’t agree that it was a bad hit
Incredibly heavy hit yes but I agree with the jets coach, he went right through him, at the chest
And the fact that Habs player got hurt made it worse then it should have been but if U don’t think taking 2 top tier centres out of the lineup in the playoffs is a big deal then we do disagree then

I can see the line shuffling possibly having an impact, but Tavares, in his playoff career, and particularly with the Leafs, has been on the ice for more goals against than for. I'd be happy to have him reverse that trend, but based on his history, particularly in Toronto, we are better when he is not on the ice. His record suggests that he would have been a -4 in those last six games

If you don't think that Scheifele's hit was dirty, and deserving of the suspension, we will just have to disagree.

Great now we can all cling to this saying see - we should've beat Montreal, the series was more one sided than Tampa's !!

Every now and then I'm sitting at home and I remember we blew a 3-1 series lead against this garbage Habs team, and I get all pissed off again. I wonder if the Leafs think about it while they're playing golf or hanging out on yachts this summer

Yep. We trounced those stupid Habs in every conceivable way, except for one obscure and totally meaningless statistic. I think it was something irrelevant like the number of games where they scored more actual goals.

As if any reasonable person paid the least attention to a pointless 'fact' like that.

crush emmm

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tampa came to play. Newly formed Habs lines look lost out there

 

[Menzinger]

This looks like an NHL team playing against some teens

 

[saffronleaf]

beautiful goal, have to admit

 

[Gary Nylund]

And so it begins.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Now Maroon can't troll Anderson.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Nice strategy by the Habs. Put Vas to sleep and then score on their 3rd shot

 

[LadyLala]

Of course

Montreal’s most effective strategy is always to get dominated and somehow win. It was great to see them lose game 2 even though they controlled the entire game.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Montreal getting absolutely owned but have the lead. Typical.

Tampa looking like they’re ready to finish these losers off tonight though.

 

[Metroid]

Looks like they still have little bit of horseshoe up their asses...

 

[saffronleaf]

now that's a power play. what great movement. kucherov is sooo good.

 

[saffronleaf]

Calm down Habs, its not time to shake hands yet

 

[saffronleaf]
