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

[HamiltonNHL]

2 very bad penalties. Matthews and Domi.

 

[CelticDruid]

Can they forfeit the 3rd? Boston would probably decline so they could continue to teabag these guys.

They will continue to TBag the Leafs when all mouths are open like little chick's waiting to be fed.

 

[leafs in five]

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.

what messageboard are you thinking of? this one?

 

[Strangle]

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

How can you not like Bert???

 

[saffronleaf]

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

not marner. marner is amazing. he's the engine of the team. he's got a great jovial personality that lights up the locker room. he's a better playmaker than mcdavid, has better vision than gretzky, and so on.

 

[mogs]

Well I'll be seeing one of my favourite bands when game 5 is scheduled so they might as well just get swept so I don't have to bother checking my phone

 

[JadedLeaf]

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

Honestly, it did kind of give me a glimmer of hope. Why would you do that? Hahah

 

[ruaware41]

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

every f***ing year these "faithful" coped coped and coped. "we played better just ran into a hot goaltender." No you just weren't good enough. Watching the game makes that evident.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

If Sammy starts the 3rd I fall to my knees raise my arms look heaven ward I ask Why is Keefe coaching this team?

 

[Cynical]

So Keefe isn't even going to let change goalies and give the guy a chance to get into playoff hockey? If they do make a change, they'll be putting him in cold while also down in the series. I guess we're sticking with Samsonov

 

[frizzer1]

A competent coach would have bertuzzi and lily on the pp.
They tried it earlier and they were dangerous.
But keefe is not exactly a master of strategy.

 

[Aashir]

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

Lol no he’s not

He’s looking like a third liner who can’t do shit

Marchand showing him up again.

This dude cannot play in the playoffs

 

[BallardEra]

Only positive I can find is that this is only one game.

Let’s see what they’re made of in Game 2.

 

[TMLegend]

Idk why I had optimism for this team coming in to the playoffs. Anyway, that's all gone now.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

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.

Keefe wasn't man enough to make a decision.

Handshake Keefe was a bad omen when he sat down PP1 and got scored on in that 1 game few months ago.

 

[Stephen]

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

Matthews looks okay, but

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

I always laugh when I think about how fans say “goalies are voodoo” and we are “getting goalied” year after year but whenever the thought of investing in a star goalie comes up they say “goalies are unpredictable.” It’s so funny.

 

[yubbers]

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

SO their faith is in the basket case goalie that's looking terrible?

Not a case to keep their jobs. LOL

 

[Strangle]

not marner. marner is amazing. he's the engine of the team. he's got a great jovial personality that lights up the locker room. he's a better playmaker than mcdavid, has better vision than gretzky, and so on.

We knew Mitch was the one to go 5 years ago

Why are we going to give this man a raise?

 

[Dragao6]

Nylander really drives the offense, eh? Seems to be noticeable whne he is out. Despite having Matthews who imo has looked pretty good this game

We haven’t looked any different with him in lineup in last many years hahahahaha

 

[Cleetus]

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

why dont you go back to your own board, why do you think its ok to post in another teams GDT, dont worry Canes will choke they always do

 

[Ianturnedbull]

This
Is
An
Elite
Nightmare

What a mess (so far)

 

[DitchMarner]

Ugh...

Look, I know people on the main boards can be insufferable, but Matthews gives justification to some of the criticism when he does the same shit over and over in the playoffs.

This guy scored 69 goals in the season but hits the post when he could have scored a big goal to tie things up. Then that offensive zone penalty made zero sense.

They're taking too many dumb penalties. Their own PP is sucking. Bruins have beat Samsonov eight times (lmfao).

FML... seriously.

 

[brentashton]

Game over. Glad at least I got baked today.

Happy 420. I. Guessing that’s what got Willie Nelson, er, Nylander down today.

 

[Gabriel426]

Pretty much.
AM is noticeable with Domi and Bert.
JT and MM are just horrible so far. Esp MM, I expect a lot more than what he had done the last two periods.

 

[mcleex]

Can you fire coaches in the playoffs? Surely there can't be a rule or anything not allowing it
