Man I hate to say it but this series is already over.

Sammy has been okay or poor this series and Vasey has returned to his old self.

We’re not gonna score more than 2 goals in game 6 or 7.

Wish Murray wasn’t injured and Holl wasn’t playing, but it is what it is

That's my biggest fear, Vasy is an animal when backed against a wall and it's very likely we'll need to win 2-1. It's a lot of pressure on Sammy

Schenn already caved his skull in the last regular season meeting with Tampa if you remember. Wouldn't mind seeing a rematch tonight no doubt.
If they blow the Leafs out tn the Leafs need to physically eliminate some of their players from game 7.

If Tampa moves on 1/2 their team will be too injured to do anything.

I'll say it again, I like going with 7 dmen tonight. Course that would require Keefe to handle things intelligently so I dunno, maybe not.

If ever there was a time to use 7D it might be with a shaky D core and get Lily in the game. Let the 11F play out of their minds... not like Lafferty and ZAR have been making that much of an impact lately. That could be Bunting and Liljegren in.

I'd definitely like to see some more pressure on Hedman atleast. Only good hit I can remember landed on him was by Acciari. Guy is a gigantic however obviously, and going into a corner with him can be intimidating I'd imagine, despite what us keyboard warriors have to say lol.

Sheldon Keefe says this is the first series in his time where all Leafs players are eating dinner together on the road. Believes being on the road will help them not get overwhelmed by size of the moment.

Talk about a lack of team spirit. First time ?

So weird. Keefe sucks

ZAR's hit last game had him begging for the trainer, literally

Sorry guys but credit where credit is due. Cooper has been pretty good IMO with his adjustments. Keefe has to rise to the occasion. Was a well reasoned article too.



Results are all that matters (sometimes apparently)

Weird how stuff like this is written almost as if the head to head record is 15-0 Cooper?? Why did he wait until game 5 today make adjustments, after losing 3 straight including 2 at home?

It's literally 6-6 or 1-0 Cooper (series record).

The hot takes are odd imo.

Shoulda been dun last game when we had margin for error.

That was the time to try Lilly, Bunting and Woll.

Dubas gave Keefe the tools to win, if we don't, it's on Keefe.
This is easy to say in hindsight, but 100% the riskier move.

We won 3 straight (2 in Tampa) because of the old line up, it was Keefe's best move to give them that runway to prove they deserve to stay in, they didn't and so now Keefe can make the changes necessary.

If Keefe made those changes in game 5 and messed with a winning line up and lost, you and the same people liking your post would be harpooning the guy for messing with a winning line up.

I hate the over playing and long leash of Holl too, I'm also annoyed at Keefe's stubbornness, and like that now he's changing it up, but I can't fault him for making that move.

The only move I would of liked him to make earlier is Liljegren in for Holl in game 4.
