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

[Da Cool Rula]

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

Another dumb Keefe move not allowing Woll to get any rthymn after being out so long. He just continued to hang everything on Sammy. When logic says we need both goalies to get us through. Hottest one rolls. Again Woll didn't get that opportunity.

 

[seventieslord]

Nylander potentially out is really really bad.

Nylander potentially out is really really bad.

It is a complete and utter indictment of Nylander, the coaching staff, and the whole organizational culture that he's not ready to play this game.

That he was in the lineup playing meaningless games chasing stats and helping Auston chase stats and then he either was already hurt or got hurt during those games, and now he's not playing..... Ouch

 

[CaptainCrunch17]

Does anyone have Justin Pogge's number

967-1111

 

[Blanche Blanche]

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

Tre is writing his paragraphs for his secretary....

For Keefe being given notice in 4 games.

 

[thewave]

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

I would roll the dice between Woll and Jones. You could argue pretty easily after last few games that Woll wasn't right. Maybe you toss Jones out.

 

[Remu]

Which bargain bin goalie are we gonna sign in the summer this time?

 

[saffronleaf]

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

we look worse than ever

 

[Mitch nylander]

Sorry boys, looks like I don't have last year's GDT luck.

Matthews is the only guy who looks good. We're hanging Sammy out to dry.

 

[Srsly]

I hope we start Woll in the third. Or Jones…hell even Murray.

 

[GoonieFace]

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.

Boston also laid eggs in their last few games

 

[Morgs]

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

3 I think.

 

[torontoblood]

Debrusk is cooking the leafs tonight. 2 goals.

Matthews/tavares/marner combined : 0 goals

debrusk: only 2 power play goals in the regular season, 2 power play goals in game 1 tonight.

Jake DeScrub is cooking the leafs

But Matthews, marner, Tavares aren’t cooking the bruins

what a shame

 

[BrannigansLaw]

22 million in cap after getting rid of Tavares and Marner sounds real nice right about now

 

[theTTC]

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

Matty isn't built to be a difference maker sparking playoff wins. Not a hateful criticism, just a fact established after many playoff first round exits.

 

[Nineteen67]

Every year PP fails in the playoffs. This hasn't changed lol

Stand around scared to make a mistake

 

[keonsbitterness]

Does Woll start Game 2?

I'll guess no.

 

[MarnerElite]

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.

I think that's only a partial fix because while there is enough scoring on this team, you can also make a case that this team is mostly built for the regular season. Too many players that can't seem to create room when it matters during those tight games and that's always going to be a problem no matter what coach you find.

 

[All Mod Cons]

These guys can't flip the switch. We should've taken the end of the season more seriously. Sheldon did a huge disservice to the team with that approach.

I don't care if Boston lost to Washington and Ottawa in their last two games. People who know, saw the coming a mile off.

 

[MSZ]

No Bergeron or Chara , weakest bruins team and this happens

They have DeBrusk though, this dude turns into Mario Lemieux everytime when he plays the Leafs.

 

[rdogg]

I was talking to my dad earlier today and he was convinced that the Leafs were getting swept.

I told him the series was going 7, but it's looking like he'll be right.

 

[JKG33]

He's noticable. Had plenty of chances. We can critique for not executing, but he's trying

I haven't noticed the 2nd line at all.

He's trying? Oh darn, that's all good then!

He wants to be paid like McDavid, he needs to f***ing perform like it

 

[Jmo89]

Keefe doesn't even run the PP...

Then I guess the head coach should say something when it's absolute trash, right?

He's a total failure year after year.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Samsonov wasn't even trying to peek around the bruins guy blocking his view right there ffs

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

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

Who the f*** is this goof? Buddy has like 5 posts. Boot this guy ffs

 

[Bomber0104]

A basic stop would be good enough.

So the leafs would still need to score a goal lol
