GDT: ECQF|GM#1|5/1|Maple Leafs (5) @ Bruins (4)|Let's give em Hell! - Part 3

[Leaf Rocket]

well we really have been playing like nothing matters.

 

[keonsbitterness]

We're playing a lot better this period but I feel like it's because the Bruins are letting up a whole lot.

Just playing out the string now.

 

[disgruntleddave]

Really disappointed with Kadri as well. He's been invisible. Everyone has been running their mouth about how kadri steps it up in the playoffs. Not so far.

 

[LeafsMonster]

How are we this bad?

We're not. Thats whats so frustrating.

 

[tacoburrito]

poor team effort here.. they have to step up, bigtime

 

[realgoodleafs]

Franson is even on the night and has an assist. If he is benched then Carlyle has officially lost his mind.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

I'm no expert on playoff games, but I don't think this feels like one.

This isn't a playoff game. This is two garbage teams playing exhibition hockey and the Leafs are the worst of the two.

 

[Neas Olc]

exactly. you don't need to stay here.

Too bad, I grew in Toronto, I have the Leafs in my blood. I'll stick with the team, even though it means that as a senile 80 year-old, after the Chicago Cubs win the world series and the Canucks win back-to-back cups, I'll ask myself why I even bothered.

 

[dwanmaster*]

wow. I dont even know what to say

 

[keonsbitterness]

I'm no expert on playoff games, but I don't think this feels like one.

Not a good one anyway.

 

[legendinblue]

A Frraser-Kostka pairing out there? I've seen it all

 

[The Winter Soldier]

This game is over, just need to send a msg and regroup. Not the end of the world, it's only 1 game, all we need is to split.

 

[LeafsMonster]

I'm going to dismiss this as the first game. Didn't know wht to expect, pressure, blah blah. Whatever. As long as they get their **** together for sat.

 

[Crispy Crust]

This game is over, just need to send a msg and regroup. Not the end of the world, it's only 1 game, all we need is to split.

We pretty much have to win game two.

 

[keonsbitterness]

*urp* um... whats happnin?

You have alcohol poisoning.

 

[akacesfan]

I'm still hoping we'll bag one more goal just for the sake of confidence, but I don't think that'll happen.

 

[TMLeafer]

Orr will get the only penalty of course.

Please let Cole call the next one. They win more when he does.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Orr and Mclaren know their roles. Need to show Bruins this isn't going to be an easy series.

 

[dwanmaster*]

How about an actual fight? Not just a bunch of shoving

 

[ALee10]

I agree, I think it's mostly nerves. Still angry though. Expected a far better showing than this given how we've only lost 1 goal games to Boston this year. This looks more like the Boston vs Leaf games last year..

I would be scared if the Maple Leafs came out and took the whole situation and the magnitude of this playoffs in stride. The Bruins have played a ton of playoff games, Seguin can't even drink yet (maybe he can) and he has more experience than most of the guys on the Leafs. It's a learning experience I'm sure, sometimes getting your ass kicked gets you in the right mind set for the next time.

 

[bunjay]

wished I had a Molson's within arm's reach right now

Molson's? Don't dream small

 

[dwanmaster*]

of course. Ridiculous reffing...

 

[TMLeafer]

Orr or McLaren should've just clocked someone before leaving the ice.

 

[LeafsMonster]

How many penalties has cmac served today

 

[Mikeyg]

A Frraser-Kostka pairing out there? I've seen it all
