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

[Strangle]

Woll can score goals? Lol

I don’t care if we win 1-0, as long as we win

 

[saffronleaf]

Boston also laid eggs in their last few games

yea but they intentionally did it because they knew they could utterly destroy and humiliate this leafs team and convincingly win an easy four game series.

 

[LastOne2100]

Woll game 2
Jones game 3
Murray game 4

At this point I definitely think we just keep rotating when one goaltender loses a game.

They all suck so we need a miracle performance from one of them.

 

[authentic]

Hey we got slammed in game 1 last year and won the series right?

True, but I don't like our chances without Nylander.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Marner might be done as a leaf

Don't tease me like that

 

[Matty Sundin]

My positive vibes take after the 2nd

- Ummmmm it’s only game 1

 

[GoonieFace]

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.

Nope, not getting swept. They lost game 1 to Tampa 7-3 last year…

 

[Torontonian]

I mean, the things Toronto needed to do to actually win they aren’t doing…

1. Not lose special team battles
2. Don’t give up freebies goals.. ( Sammy 4g on 18 shots is doing exactly this)

 

[Not My Tempo]

Don’t know how anyone could watch this team this year and expected anything else tbh.

Crap goaltending? Yup

Crap special teams? Yup

Crap, immobile defense? Yup

Nylander went superhuman and carried us through the first 3 months of the season, and then Matthews went superhuman and carried us the second half.

 

[wingman75]

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 might be watching the last games he plays for the Leafs.

If this play continues, it'll be a sweep and everyone other than 34 and 44 are on the block.

All this did was confirm for Boston that they can easily beat this Leafs team.

 

[notbias]

Stone playing again is hilarious.

I wish we had some players with no morals like him.

 

[7even]

Can someone explain why so many people thought this series was a toss up? Everyone always talks about how important goaltending is in the playoffs and we knew that Boston had a big advantage.

I've had a hard time getting excited for these playoffs because no team in the past 20 years has won with the goaltending we've been getting and I don't know how I'm supposed to pretend otherwise

 

[saffronleaf]

Marner might be done as a leaf

there is no leafs without marner. he is the heart and soul of the team. the engine of the team. the straw that stirs the drink. the alpha and omega.

Boston's goalies shit the bed last year, not a lot of ppl have confidence in them for playoffs

 

[socko]

A lot of things not to like about the Leafs tonight but John Tavares is just incredibly slow. I can't wait for this guy to be gone.

 

[PromisedLand]

FIRE KEEFE TONIGHT

If Tavares isn't on the 3rd/4th line in the 3rd period. IDGAF how he "feels" he is paid a lot of money he can take his feelings and shove it

Domo-Matthews-Bert
Robertson-Holmberg-Marner

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

marner is known for his clutch playoff performances. he will put this team on his back in the third and win the game for us. never doubt him.

I just feel bad for Boston tbh. They have no idea what Marner is about to bring down upon them, but they will see his jovial aura in their nightmares

 

[Pavel10]

He is a medicore playoff performer

And his injury better be severe. Not playing after playing game 82 to chase 100 pts

Who is the best leaf playoff performer?

 

[leafs in five]

Boston is just playing a normal hockey game. They’re not doing anything special.

yeah and a notable component of this is they are not selling out to make every possible hit and also not trying to start a fight before or after every whistle

 

[Stephen]

And Tavares really should have scored on that four on three. Pretty easy tap-in. Just put your stick down and direct it in.

JT’s goal scoring was at its best lately when drafting behind Matthews success.

 

[Menzinger]

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.

They lost to Tampa game 1 last year, and gave up 7 goals.

Nothing written in stone yet

 

[34]

Jesus but Woll in. If he stinks call up fuvking Hildeby or Murray. Surely there’s a goalie in this organization that wants to win in the playoffs.

Toronto does not have any goalie capable of playing nhl caliber hockey.

It might be 4 straight shut outs in this series. It is over

 

[ToneDog]

Gotta be more than just Keefe. Shanahan first.

I can see them keeping that politician and trading Marner and firing Keefe.

 

[Cleetus]

Anybody still think Boston did not tank to get the Leafs? Guess somebody forgot to tell them we are going to the ECF.

watching them the last 2 games, my buddy who does not watch many hockey games told me, it looks like they are not even trying lol, you could of seen that from a mile away, I thought the leafs would be pissed watching that, but this team does not quite tick like that lol

 

[wingman75]

Woll game 2
Jones game 3
Murray game 4

I'm fine with it, but he's no better.
