Holls best game as a leaf without a doubt .

Sammy was what you need your goalie to do once or twice a series

Schenn was exactly what we needed and so much more ….

ROR is exactly what we needed and so much more , clutch !!! Haven’t had one of these in this past stretch 6 years ?

All the other additions are exactly what we needed .

Mo in the playoffs is exactly what we need , always tries and is a leader and a terrific human being and teammate , so happy for him , you can’t be great all the time , also im sure he came back way to early from his knee injury …he’s a warrior

Mitch and AM just need to keep contributing 1-3 points per game each ..check …

Caber solid

MK better and better , seems mature and mentally tough with a swagger and confidence, great to see !

Tj worst game as a leaf , can’t expect that twice ..he gets my pass for this one , he’s pretty solid and steady and tries and takes hits to make plays .

JT … more consistent… better on draws…

Gio …tired but a warrior….

Kampf needs to be more consistent like he played game 2….

We need all our players to realize that it take’s literally every square inch of that ice battled every single shift all game every game in the playoffs
Look at Tampas effort win or lose .. they have warriors and winners and a never say die attitude, weather you like it or not and their stars battle fight , claw , cheat , poke you , bite you to win !!!
That’s a good thing , never passengers!!!
No my a one , every player they plug in has to have at least all those attributes and more all the time .
See
Boston
Avs
We need every player not even 95% to play that way especially our stars and leaders…

By the way , shout out to AM , love the way he’s playing finally , his goals wil come once we win this series , he’s a victim of the past , but he’s playing with fire and grit now and love it , the rest of his teammates respect him now ! Excellent ,it’s all because of Luke and ROR and Acciari and the rest ..he now sees what it takes .
No problem from AM , he’s hounding the play , hitting , stealing the puck , back checking, that’s why when you play like that your not scoring as we might want , but the bigger picture will look better in the long run .

MM competing like a dog and getting points …
He 2 will benefit from getting rid of this albatross around his neck of never winning past this round and the history for a while .
He’s playing great and getting better .

PP needs to change structure, I know we’ve scored , but we don’t look dangerous most of the time ….
Opposite wingers work better in general over the years and now , we don’t do that , it limits us to only certain open looks instead of doubling your possible chances for one timers and or fake then passing off .
Most successful PP’s almost always set up with off wingers on both sides for one timers with traffic in front of the net and a player up high , we also need to move around more …..

SH ok …
Need to pressure the boards hard everywhere all the time and keep it out side , we look better on our SH because of players like Marner , who just make plays ..
But we allow a lot of great chances against


Kerfoot , not effective at all ,,, needs to sit one .

Jarn , not effective , tries hard , we need more , but definitely no problem ….

Coaching : if we win it won’t be because of coaching , it will be because of all our positive feature we know have in our lineup and grit from grabbing moments that alter games and series and championships ….
We have that now when it counts …but our coaching let’s us down , but so far this series we are overcoming it .

88
No further comment what so ever .

That’s all that matters !!!

Love our passion here from everyone!!!
Bring it on !!!

Stamkos is a p***y boy, throwing punches at a guy before you let him drop the gloves. That's coward shit.

I wouldn't mind someone like John Tavares feed him his lunch. Captain to captain chat about doing things the wrong way to start that with Matthews. Or just have Schenn launch him into outer space like a Space X rocket.

Won a game that they didn't deserve to win, but we'll take it. This team needs to turn it up more if they want to take to take this series. It may be time to start playing Knies, ROR and Nylander a bit more than Matthews and Marner.
Ok, now. So, did Tampa deserve the win? They had bunch of shoots from blue line. Beyond that, after they got the lead, they just flipped puck out of the zone for like 20 times. They allowed leafs back into it and then they lost. It was rather logical loss for them.
 
So happy we won. Two wins in a row against Vasi and the Bolts.

That said, I was not happy with Marner or Nylander.

Also, it seemed like the refs allowed Tampa to play tough but nailed us anytime we played tough. The penalties we got made the team play timid.

The proceeds of blowout stats mean nothing. RoR is carrying momentum and the general out there. The big 3 were playing pond hockey and razzled. Nylander was had like 1/3 of our shots. Rielly stepped up and it was over without Sammy.
 
Auston "Kasperi Kapanen" Matthews scored to win game four vs Columbus after they scored three times in the last three minutes, facing elimination.

They also scored in OT vs Washington a couple times (every game went to OT in that series)

But yeah, the losses stick in your brain a lot longer (and there's more of them)
Lol I remember that call
 
The thing that's starting to annoy me is Tampa's love of knocking the stick out of the goalie's hands every time they skate by.
Dude they just know their "veteran tricks"

Leaf player does something like that it it's a stupid penalty for a stupid player who costs his team.

Notice the common trend with a lot of these dumb buzz phrases like "playoff hockey?
 
Also I'm not trying to whine and complain here, but did I miss something?

Did Don Cherry finally win and the instigator penalty is no longer a thing?


Because if what Stamkos did to Matthews isn't instigating, I have no idea what is....


Again, not trying to dunk on the refs here but Auston was picking up sticks and didn't even have time (or probably the desire) to drop the gloves. And frankly, shouldn't. Those are $11.5M wrists....
In regular season you'd probably get the instigator. There's just no way we were getting a 5 on 3 there in the PO's in a tight game.

*looks back at last year and shakes head*

Why cannot it be Auston Matthews. I mean he can easily run him over
Austin is 6'3 and Stamkos is 6

Auston needs to start owning his game

That is a weird one. Definitely trying to get in his head.
 
We played a sloppy game but our first class goaltender samsonov was a brick wall and gave the leafs the chance to steal the game

Up 2-1 with 8 points means something though.

Hate to be Debbie downer I need more from mathews.
OReilly on the other hand wow he brings it
OReilly teach Mathews, Marner and Nylander that fire you have in your belly
Can’t teach it. You either have it or you don’t.
