GDT: ECSF: Game 7 - The BwO Presents: The Game After Game 6 Like We Promised - 7:30 EDT - TNT

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Lol.

I'm not saying it's the coaches fault, I'm saying the coach is not the solution. He's not very good. It wasn't Keefe's fault either.

Honestly Babcock was trying to get them to play the right way years ago.

(I'm in no way saying they should bring back Babcock)

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Congrats to those that bet on the panthers tonight.

Easy money.

 

[Lawzy]

Run it back! Run it back!

 

[Leaf Fans]

So run it back with stolarz?

They may not be able to even if they wanted to. 2 of their core are pending UFAs.

 

[fsanford]

Woll just cost them the cup

Ha ha wut? It's not like the Leafs are very good in game 7's

 

[KCC]

I think they'll come out harder than in the 1st or 2nd

Well, they kind of did for the first 2 minutes of the third. That's something. lol

Eddie Olczyk saying they should take a fan under the bleachers and give in the mob treatment.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

I was assured by Leafs fans that "it was different" this time??

Haven’t you seen Matthews defense? Generational

 

[CycloneSweep]

Woll just cost them the cup

lol what?

 

[trilobyte]

Eddie O wants those fans dragged under the stands and flogged.

Eddie O(utrage)

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Since we’re blaming Leafs, Knies has been invisible.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Wish I had the money to be tossing NHL jerseys on the ice

On top of being in the lower bowl of a 06 second round game 7 playoff game

It has been known forever that this core of skilled forwards who fail in the playoffs just dont have it in the playoffs.

BUT, some reason leafs management gave them giant contracts. And AM, Nylander, Rielly got them again.

JT and Marner who knows. They might let them go, or still sign them back if they can agree on a contract. Even if they let them go and use that money for other players, the team is still saddled with AM, Nylander, Rielly who collectively are not good playoff players. So the team is saddled with forever playoff underachievers for another 5 years.

The problem isnt Leafs specific. It's management specific as every sport is similar. They open up the wallet to high scorers not giving a shit if they tank in the playoffs when it counts. All they care about is high scoring regular season stats some reason.

Its a very tight balance when your making a team that needs to win during the regular season to make the playoffs and also win during the playoffs. Its a science that many teams fail to get perfectly but also many times teams are handicapped by the players/coaches they are able to acquire.

I feel for leafs fans cause I know being a Habs fan how damn hard it is to get that perfect regular season/playoff team. There are so many things that can go wrong and the league is so damn tight.

You should be proud though as a leaf fan that your team was able to push the defending SC champs to 7 games.

Not a Leafs fans, but it is indeed admirable that they were able to get to Game 7.

Still, the Canadian teams all seem to want to construct their teams as perimeter-shooting teams with lots of snipers and speedy guys for the odd-man breakouts, but nearly all the recent Cup winners have been very physical teams who largely won by grimy goals down low. The Oilers, for example, did not begin to have success until they started to really fight for those goals down low instead of McDrai trying to snipe it in from outside. My $0.02 anyway.

[HabzSauce]

Are leafs gonna show up for the handshake line or they gonna f*ck that up too somehow?

 

[Kryten]

 

[Sniper99]

Just get to the handshakes

 

[TheDizee]

 

[rboomercat90]

Leafs are going to shock the world here in the 3rd period.

Reports of their death have been greatly exaggerated.

They look accurate to me.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

The biggest loser tonight is Drake

also fck drake

 

[Asdetran]

Cant wait for dangle video, its gonna be fun

 

[Bradely]

2000$ ticket + 500$ jersey thrown + losing 5-1.
I think this fan had better nite than tonite.

 

[GQS]

They gambled on 2 notoriously injury prone goalies. Neither had ever played a full season, or a full playoff series.

IMO this was always the most likely outcome.

Stolarz was healthy most of the season and he finished strong at the end. Just a freak shot off his helmet in game one with a little extra knock by Bennett put him out.

 

[Osprey]

Never mind.
