ECQF GAME 1 8:14 PM ET - TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS (A3) @ BOSTON BRUINS - CBC, TBS, TruTV, TVAS, NESN (New England)

[Ol' Jase]

He has 5 shots and has created every single Leafs chance tonight.


Gave Tavares an empty-net tap-in that was missed.


The Leafs have been all over Boston tonight, but the goalie can't make a save to save his life, and the other one doesn't let a goal in.


And the zebras have obviously gotten word to call it tight on 1 team.

4-20 has done a number on you, my dude.

 

[SomeDude]

What's wrong with Willy anyway?

His back in in shambles from lugging around his wallet.

 

[Strangle]

And? What does that have to do with Toronto's goaltending THIS year?

We haven’t put our #1 goalie in the net yet

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Leafs need to start Woll in the third. You need to know what he can do.

With Samsonov and no Nylander this series might be over in 4.

Agreed, samsonov ain’t it

 

[SI90]

Leafs gonna leaf.

 

[HolyHagelin]

Leafs need to do anything it takes to break the seal. 4-1 or 10-1, doesn’t matter. Crawl over glass to get that 1.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Sportnet spends the whole discussion on what the leafs need to do and what they did. Okay, but there was another team out there. Such a homer network, the other team needs to blow them out 9-0 to get a fair shake.

It's a Canadian broadcast it will cover the Canadian team.

 

[Divine]

Agreed, samsonov ain’t it

He cleared waivers this season for a reason.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

His back in in shambles from lugging around his wallet.

Plus he doesn't get paid in the playoffs.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

The leafs didn't seem prepared for this game.
That's on the coach for failing to do that.

The fragile millionaires can't get up for themselves. Where is the leadership in the room?

 

[ClydeLee]

I haven't followed the Leafs closely for months but am amazed Samsonov was given the start

 

[Strangle]

He has 5 shots and has created every single Leafs chance tonight.


Gave Tavares an empty-net tap-in that was missed.

I mean, the parade of power plays for the bruins isn’t really helping either

Next goal wins

Leafs players could stop committing obvious penalties.

That book is only 2 word long. It reads:

1. Refs
2. Goaltending

There is an appendix that reads: scoring goals, though

 

[Stelio Kontos]

Have to laugh at leafs fans thinking last years series against Tampa means anything. Congratulations it took vasilevskiy playing the worst series of his entire career for y’all to finally win one?

 

[T REX]

We haven’t put our #1 goalie in the net yet

Why not?

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

The fragile millionaires can't get up for themselves. Where is the leadership in the room?

John Tavares needs to step up and lead this team. Where is the intensity? There's no push back in this group.

 

[Strangle]

Leafs players could stop committing obvious penalties.

It’s funny that high stick on Matthews looked eerily similar to another one from a few years back in an infamous game 2 that wasn’t called

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

His back in in shambles from lugging around his wallet.

Lmao

 

[Canucks LB]

Toronto better hope nylander is back next game, because he absolutely is a x factor

 

[Pablo El Perro]

That book is only 2 word long. It reads:

1. Refs
2. Goaltending

There is an appendix that reads: scoring goals, though

I hope it notes all of Matthews chances and why this team failed him.

 

[pcruz]

That's not surprising.

It's Toronto.

They should have built up a giant shield-like callus in regards to power plays and the treatment from the officials.


Just once, I'd like someone to skate by a ref and make the rubbing sign with the index and thumb that means "money" and visibly ask "How Much did it take?"


And then bring it up post-game.

Just to see the absolute melt-down by the league.

 

[AssaultPK]

What does that have to do with what I said?

Matthews already hit the post in this game after beating Swayman and set up Tavares for 2 tap in's.

What does a post and two missed tap ins have to do with what I said?

Leafs have scored zero goals, Matthews continues to not show up in the playoffs
