GDT: ECQF Game 1 | Ending Edwards | Leafs vs Bruins 8pm EST | SN, CBC, TVAS, NESN

[Rare Jewel]

If Marner has a million fans, I am one of them
If Marner has 10 fans, I am one of them
If Marner only has 1 fan, it's me
If Marner has no fans, then I am dead

Could someone put Paul's wine glass slightly out of reach?

 

[PeteBestondrums]

The core 4 don't have that " Eye of the Tiger " you need to win. They never seem to even get angry at losing.
Most players would play on one leg in the playoffs...what's so wrong with Nylander?!?

 

[Strangle]

Yes, I think Woll is better

He’s had a rough go since he came back, though. That’s true

 

[saffronleaf]

The marner thread is going to be lit for the next month

might have to rename it to appreciation thread again

 

[mcleex]

Why didn’t Keefe call a time out, have a kinipshit and yell at the team on the bench, or hold up his fingers signalling the refs to give us more power plays. Had he not learned anything from the last few years.

Spineless

 

[Stephen]

We're special, just a different definition.

We play NHL 24 video game hockey. Everything is a high event, unforced error.

 

[JKG33]

Who is the best leaf playoff performer?

Who's the smartest kid on the short bus?

 

[6ix]

Matthew’s the only one who showed a pulse tonight.


Special teams is trash as expected.

Let Marner walk. Giving another 12 mill to an ineffective playoff player would be a joke.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Should just go ahead and fire up the PGT now. here’s the title “losers lose”

 

[Aashir]

Getting sick of seeing that look.

The feeling sorry act is tiring as f***. Campbell and now this f***er

Make the f***ing save in the first place

Change your avatar again.

You know it.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Still think we take game 2 but really not liking how Samsonov has been playing the last 2 weeks. He looks exactly like he did at the start of the season getting beat by low-mid danger shots frequently.

 

[Lightsol]

Sure Paul. Can we get that in writing? He can waive or walk. Go find some other stupid team to pay you.

'Cause it would be a wonderful idea to bank most of our future on the guy who hasn't missed a game in 8 years but decided to miss Game 1 of the playoffs...

 

[BamBamCam]

Trade 1 of matthews, marner, rielly, tavares, marner

Allocate 6-7M on a real goalie

We have 0 cap space to get a real goalie + field good wingers/decent defense

Does NMC mean anything to you.
Over 60 percent of the salary cap right there for next year

 

[IronHookem]

It is no coincidence that the teams that face us the most beat us on a regular basis. Keefe has to go, he really brings nothing to the table and is constantly bailed out by our stars.

 

[JKG33]

If team was better, they'd have a better chance at winning. More at 11

Yup. It is pathetic.

 

[ruaware41]

I mean I could see their argument. One of the best D to ever play, with the freakishly large reach retires. We probably have a better shot.

Unfortunately, I just don't think any of us knew just how much black mail the Bruins have on the hockey gods.

I get the argument but if you have to argue we can win when their 38 year old washed top 4 defenceman guy retires it sounds like a coping mechanism more than anything. Leafs fans are very passionate and back the team beyond what's rational, no one can take that away. Not sure if that's a good thing or not

Fire?? Has a coach been fired during a playoff series?

 

[mapleleaf979]

Let Marner walk after next year, he wont hit anyone, is invisible tonight.

 

[AustonMarner]

Biggest issue for the Leafs this game besides the penalties and goaltending lol is possession via offensive and defensive zone faceoffs...

If Tavares can't dominate at the dot or offer anything but stone hands on the PP... he really has no business being a 2 C on any NHL team at this point in his career...

It's actually embarrassing in a way that Tavares is getting dominated by guys like Coyle or Zacha lmfao

 

[Rare Jewel]

You know it.

That's a quick avy change.

 

[Blanka]

So this is the Bruins centennial year? 100 years with only six cups? And we're sad? Lol ok

 

[ashs]

Nylander wore Marners jersey, marner is home playing fallout 4

 

[Stephen]

Do you think Woll would have been any better? The guy has been Swiss cheese the last month or so. First shot on him would have went in as well. Probably would be same spot as we are in now. At least if we are going to play him, give him a fresh slate in game 2. Cause if he stinks the joint up in relief, we are really screwed

Woll also allows the first goal of a game or period on a very regular basis. He sucks after his injury and you need a lot of runway to rebuild his game.
