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

[Eternal Leaf]

No gameplan. No offence. No defence. And no goaltending.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tired of hearing "the other goalie is too good" excuse. This team has no issues scoring during the season but can't in the playoffs

They kept shooting low on Bob last year when he had issues with high shots. Lots of low shots tonight on Swayman

 

[Niagara Bill]

Pull Sammy, cut him, send him home...4 months too late

 

[Stephen]

Will the big boys wake up

You know what tends to happen, Leafs get blasted and then they put up a few score effects goals, Marner gets a couple of assists and then that gets waved around like a massive success once reality has been forgotten.

 

[mcleex]

Nylander stayed home. He's the only smart Leaf. Don't waste your time with this Shanaplan garbage

 

[keonsbitterness]

Leafs bus just arrived. We'll get "em in the 3rd.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

You can just hear the excuses. We outshot them, missing Nylander, McMann, goalied, etc. Bullshit. The problems that have plagued us in the past are what’s hurting us this game. Poor goaltending, poor special teams, poor coaching, no-show from Marner and Matthews. This team needs change real bad.

 

[34]

This core is just flat out disrespecting the fanbase at this point.

I agree. It is embarrassing.

 

[yubbers]

A smart coach would have yanked him after the 2nd goal.

Yup. That was the time to do it. How he wasn't on a short leash after the last 2 games he played is crazy.

 

[JadedLeaf]

Not as bad as game 1 last year

It's pretty sad that you only have to go back one year to find an even lower bar.

 

[saffronleaf]

i have full faith that marner will rescue the team in the third period. he's basically mcdavid.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Matthews looks great, the other 2 guys making more than 10m I guess left their hearts in Toronto

 

[Blanche Blanche]

It's almost like sputtering into the playoffs playing garbage hockey is a bad idea.

The PP for the last 5 years was literally just Marner being QB...
You can tell it has gotten so stale...

Keefe needs to make big moves now...jesus
His jobs on the line, and Shanny better be next

 

[francis246]

Ok. Then play the better of the 2 no? LOL

You have 2 other goalies who have better playoff records. Murray or Jones would be the better options IMO.

 

[GoonieFace]

5-1 power plays for Boston. Classic

4-2 actually, and the penalties were penalties

 

[AustonMarner]

Well... at least the Leafs aren't getting dominated physically lol

If Leafs wanna win this series they'll have to stop taking so many careless penalties

I'd play Woll 3rd period if not game 2

 

[Dirty Dan]

Matthews 13M+, Nylander more than Pastrnak

Tavares sucking ass as a 11 AAV player

Marner already at 11 AAV

There is no way you can build a TEAM that can have any success in the post season if the players that take lion's share of the cap shit the bed

Tavares was great regular season in the first few years , but they completely blew their window with him. Losing against Boston AGAIN somehow, then blowing it against weak teams like CBJ and MTL

 

[LastOne2100]

f*** Dubas for signing Tavares f*** THAT DIRTBAG

The single worst mistake of Dubas' career and he's had many brutal mistakes.

Really f***ed us for 7 years.

 

[Morgs]

Lots of shots from outside is not excellent chances. I've never seen a team look so disinterested for a playoff game

Aye-aye captain.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Rielly waiting until there's the maximum amount of bodies in the shooting lane before taking his shot.

Yeah two guys waiting at the net front for the whole PP while they pass around the outside and then shoot it into someone’s shin.. like wtf

 

[Strangle]

Lol it's worse

Have no fear, Woll will save us

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I have kind of accepted I won't see a cup win for another solid 10-15 years at this point. This core isn't going anywhere and then an actual rebuild...that we may or may not f*** up again lol shit is bleak.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

No gameplan. No offence. No defence. And no goaltending.

But other than that they're incredible

 

[Nineteen67]

This organization has been badly outplayed in 8 2/3 of past 11 2/3 playoff games.

 

[Dave92]

Core are gutless losers. But expected
