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

[Hellcat]

The only positive is there is only 10 periods of Keefe's coaching left in Toronto. I would never take enjoyment in someone losing their job but there needs to be a new voice behind the bench. This team is far too loose, they have no clue where to be on the ice. This team is far too skilled to look this consistently bad.

 

[ashs]

Only excuse, we ain't good.

 

[Legion34]

This happened in Tampa too.

In the playoffs it’s better to get dummied than lose a back breaker.

All that matters now is if they actually goon it up and fight back.

They still think they lose the series. Always did. At least go down fighting.

I’m sure @Evilhomer is going to tell us the leafs are coming back.

 

[theTTC]

Glad most fans are not emotionally attached to these guys

Seriously, this team is not likable. Trade'em all, who gives a s**t and would it even matter?

 

[hfman]

it's actually frightening how bad this is

 

[PromisedLand]

Boston scores on the PP, we cant even get a shot on net

the 4 on 3 the way they played on that PP with cute bullshit, the fate of this game was sealed then and there.

why teh f*** is tavares on the no1 unit? he is f***ing USELSS but keefe keeps putting tavares out there on 1st PP and keeps giving him minutes

I'd rather the young guys get minutes and lose the series at least they will gain some experience feeding minutes to dinosaurs who suck out there is not a recipe for success

 

[PanniniClaus]

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

Everything is pad level or wide

 

[A1LeafNation]

Matty line is going. Everyone else needs to pick it up

You mean Marner and Tavares didn't show up...sounds about right.

 

[Bankerguy]

outsider here, AM always has this i dont care about anything mentality look on his face.
Does he have heart? i dunnoooo not lookin good imo

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

They'll make a spirited push to make it 4-2 then lose 6-0 after the refs just rewrite the rules

 

[Strangle]

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

But at least we won that series! And had a monster game 2

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Keeping Keefe and running with Samsonov and Woll is strike one for me with Tre. Lets see if hes smart enough to correct his mistakes next year.

Tre was hired to be a puppet. Just like Dubas was. Shanahan's the "brains" of this operation, carrying out the Board's wish for clean corporate NuHockey. Too bad it won't win in the playoffs.

 

[Leafs4Life77]

Matthews is a cancer tonight

Misses an empty net than they score right after, then takes a dumb f*** penalty and they score

I wish he wasn’t on this team

Clown post. He’s one of very few guys who are going tonight.

 

[yubbers]

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

I give Woll game 2. If he doesn't step-up...sure. Roll Jones out. LOL

 

[notbias]

Keefe... Rolls with the same useless goalie and same useless powerplay. He once again proves he's an absolute fool.

Keefe doesn't even run the PP...

 

[JustPenalties]

Goaltending, refs etc. cry me a river.. no matter how you put it, its pretty hard to win a hockey game with zero goals.

 

[francis246]

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

Or maybe they have zero faith in Woll right now as a coaching staff

 

[colchar]

Just a terrible powerplay. Team is just like it was the last four games of the season.

But there were fans here saying those were nothing games so their performance didn't matter. I guess they thought that with all of the deep, deep Cup runs the Leafs have been on recently, they didn't need to get into playoff form; that they could just flick the switch the way truly great teams like them do. Or some such shit.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Aye-aye captain.

How many of those are Tavares limp-noodling his stick for a weak deflection into Swayman's pads?

 

[Blanche Blanche]

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

Yeah invisible...
JT is our C but old and slow.
Marner is still scared.

Nylander... Come down from the Hotel and into the game
Your other 2 amigos are MIA

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

samsonov is SHIT

keefe put him in there. the fat guy is gone in the summer

I hate Keefe as much as the next guy and he IS gone if they don't win this series but It's not like Woll doesn't have his head up his ass now either.

They have both been pathetic

 

[Confucius]

Not as bad as game 1 last year

Not as bad as game 1 last year

Meh 6-2 vs 4 0, at 6-2 at least I’d know we can score

He dosent even yell anymore he knows he's done. We should've made the switch earlier this year but our mgmt has no balls

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Well, if I was going to miss one playoff game this looks like the right one.

 

[wingman75]

It's the same issues from the season.

PP had a chance to make it 2-1. Didn't.

PK had to kill to keep it 2- 0. Didn't.

Both expected.

Samsonov not great, though no one clearing anyone from the front of the net.

Swayman has made good saves on the 3 chances we've had. Outside that, we aren't generating anything.
