Uncle fester needs to go
I expect the Leafs to also play better. I’m reading comments like this a lot on here. Yes Ottawa should play a lot better but it’s not like the Leafs played a perfect game. I expect Stolarz to lock in even more and Tavares/Domi and Rielly gotta wake the f*** up. Leafs played to their style, they gave up shots but high end chances were pretty low, they looked calm. Stick to it and this could be a sweep
Leafs for sure have the better goalir which is a nice change. I agree that the Leafs should win this series pretty easily, but Ott won't go away without a fight. It most likely won't be enough.
Go up 2-0 on Tue and survive the first 10 mins Thu when OTT gets home and they will be in great shape.
It would be great to be in control so Berube can keep splitting mins evenly
Didn't help that Reilly lost the puck battle for the rebound.

He's not wrong, he is seeing the game from a coach's perspective, the game was much closer than the score implied. At one point in the 3rd the Sens had a higher goals expected for the game than the Leafs did. The difference is our roster is considerably deeper, and when you make mistakes against a deep roster, you lose 6-2. There is a reason why we struggled against Bos and Fla, their teams had rosters as deep (or deeper) as ours, and when they made mistakes we didn't capitalize on them and when we did Bos/Fla capitalized on it.
We need to clean up our game, far too loose with puck management/ game management. I'm happy for the win but not happy with the way we allowed the Sens to get prime scoring chances. Less run and gun and more one and out for the Sens, next game please.

That game was just about how a fan would script it.
Score first early.
Stolarz is sharp.
Big 4 getting goals.
Powerplay was great.
Never relinquished the lead.
Kept OTT to the outside.
Laughton made an impact.
How can you not be optimistic? Great win for game 1!

Apparently Greig tried to go into the bench?
This dude needs to get caved in. Wasn't happy with how he ran Stolarz and there was no response.

I wish there was video of it lol supposedly Matthews stole his stick and snapped it in half on the bench and Ridley wasn't a fan lmao
I said before game 1 that it wouldn't be close, but every other game of the series would be close. I'll stick to that. Ottawa will settle down, as will the Leafs. The difference will be, as you say, simply a deeper, more impactful roster for the Leafs, and better goaltending. I expect a 3-1/3-2 game on Tuesday, and for the series to end in 5 games.

Ottawa can turn into the 1993 Habs and they still won’t win a game if Ullmark plays like that. Horrendous goaltending.
I'm more worried about the rebound in general and the turnover in the corner. Mo doesn't give much at all there

Spent the morning dog walk listening to Sens podcasts.
Lots of delicious tears on the refs only to acknowledge later far too much undisciplined play.
Holding on to advanced stats as "a win" even though last I looked the Sens still got outscored 5v5.
Bit of denial on Ulmark being weak although acceptance that he didn't get them saves on high danger chances while Stolarz did.
Criticism of Chabot getting burned on both the first two goals.

Ottawa will get better, but I still like what I see us doing at 5-on-5. There are areas to improve on, we weren't quite as locked-in on D and gave up some pretty good chances, but Stolie was there to shut the door. We can't be giving up those up.
I thought we came out hard and tilted the ice. Ottawa had the shot totals early but I really can't recall any scoring chances that were of concern in the 1st. Leafs will get better too. Tavares line needs to be better at 5-on-5, but the Laughton line was great.

Real solid game and Win by the Leafs in game #1.
Good goaltending, strong coaching, strong defense and great special teams with the core 4 combining for 9 points,
Sens were often the better team at 5v5 during the game, but self destructed by taking too many penalties.
1 Down 15 to go.

I'm very happy with the play of our core players in last night's game.
The Sens were out to INJURE our players the entire game. Next Sens player to lay a hit on Stolarz should be annihilated. Maybe Berube should dress someone with the sole responsibility to take runs at Ullmark !!!
That Sportsnet panel was so pro-Sens it was truly sickening, especially that weasel Uncle Fester. If he is on the panel for any more games, I will fast forward or turn off the sound when that Sens biased panel is on.
Bieksa was just okay, but the rest were pumping the Sens like crazed Sens fans !!!

That was likely the worst we see the Sens, they will get better in game 2.... Doesn't really worry me though as we have another gear as well.
Keep it going boys.

No response? We won 6-2 and scored three PP goals. It's a seven (or less) game series. Lots of time to respond and lots of ways to do that. Why respond and even possibly create a chance for momentum to turn? Stolarz was fine and Greig ultimately hurt his team more than he helped them last night...even with a goal.
What's interesting is seeing how this Senators team plays G2 with the fear of the Leafs PP being a difference again. Also, they have Giroux and Perron in the top six. This is not a team that can beat us if we play our game.
Need to get Robertson in the press box.
Third line again was not good. Too much one and done stuff.

Hanging onto fruitless stuff like advanced stats in the playoffs is kind of pathetic. They can look at every advanced metric and try and find light at the end of the tunnel, the fact is Ottawa has no chance with being undisciplined and getting goaltending like that

This is the time when I wish Reaves was a bit of a better player. I would love Reaves to whisper in Grieg's ear: "hey, you do one thing that pisses me off tonight, and I'm sending you to the ER. If I get suspended, I don't give two shits. I'm retiring anyway".
I will guarantee this will have Greig thinking twice about running our goalie. Reaves has nothing to lose and Greig knows this.
