GDT: Game 2 - The Comeback Story - Leafs vs Lightning 7pm EST - SN, ESPN, CBC, TVAS, BSUN

[HockeyVirus]

I'm as sick as a lot of others with the ref discussion, but I watched the Bruins game last night and saw this. How can this be not called in 1 series



And then in our series this is called



Just so frustrating to never know what you will get game to game.

 

[crump]

If Leafs come out like crap again tonight, I want Shanahan to come down and fire Keefe mid-game, take over the bench and start kicking arse.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Why the HELL is Holl still playing?? Get Liljegren in there!

Seriously if the Leafs lose this series we should keep Dubas and fire Keefe's ass ASAP for not using the best players available to him in the playoffs. No way you can convince me that at this point Holl is a better player than Liljegren is.

Haha. Love how you slipped keep Dubas in there.

 

[WTFMAN99]

1. I hope they win this game and series.

2. If I hear the word "learning" from anyone besides Woll or Knies at any point, I want that individual tasered.

 

[MarnerElite]

2nd line hasn't worked all year.

Kerfoot cannot check and win the board battles leading to turnovers which will expose Tavares's lack of foot speed.

We all know this as a fact.

They'll do very well tonight...Just watch. Also you realize this was the same line last year when we went 7 games and only lost 2-1 in the final game? You cant make a much better lineup because we dont have the best balance(some lines will always be more exposed).

Rigged officiating vs traditional Playoff officiating.

Never know what kind of game youre going to get when it comes to playoff hockey!

Sometimes everything will be called, other times literally nothing will be.

What a greatly run league.

I’m now firmly in the fire Keefe camp if we don’t get to ECFs. Not putting Liljegren in when we gave up 7 goals and Holl /Schenn sucked is a joke and blatant favouritism seeing what happened last playoffs. He has no idea how to handle young players and simply refuses to ice the best possible line-up.

 

[therealkoho]

Furlatt watching McCauley dismantle the Leafs on 2 weak calls on Kampf and Schenn when Leafs were on the verge of a comeback. "hold my beer".

Its weird that so many people can't see the importance of the timing of when calls are made, the Leafs were definitely getting it turned around and creating momentum when those calls suddenly stopped them dead in their tracks.

No, man, Shanny has gone soft.

Schenn was fine.

The only reason soft penalties are called in a PO game is to change momentum. If it's blatant trip that stops a breakaway, sure. The junk we saw on display in our game was flat out match rigging at the officiating level.

Weak calls happen all the time to everyone. Every fanbase thinks the refs are awful or are out to get them. It’s not a conspiracy. Last night a high stick was missed that led to Carolina’s GWG in OT. Bettman hates the Isles and Lou Lam!

 

[therealkoho]

Still can't believe Holl - after being -6

-6? I thought thought he was -8 with 3 primary assists on Lightning goals

it's just crazy how many differences there are in the different stats sites, and how wide the doors of perception can swing open when evaluating what people may or may not have seen

 

[Notsince67]

Well I'm ready for the game. I've prepared long and hard. If they lose, it won't be my fault

 

[therealkoho]

fast forward to 10 pm. Justin Hol is -4 again and Keefe praises his boy for a total of 10 goals on the ice in 2 games. I can just see it happening

i'll hold you to this

Our fanbase has gotten so whiny and insecure that they think everyone is out to get them.
Guess it’s their way with coping with a team that has so much promise but constantly disappoints.

Its about the betting lines there Pancho, try to keep up.

If memory recalls the Leafs series is always called very tight. The first few games in particular. Why, I have no idea but that's how I remember it. As it heads into Game 5,6,7 they start to put the whistles away. Definitely lacking consistency thought.

 

[Eye Test]

I like the lineup minus holl. Throw lilly with Gio please don’t make the same error again

 

[Hellcat]

7-3 for the Leafs
Here I am, on the road again, here I am, turn the page

Leafs in 5. Lets go

Against the wind,
We were running against the wind,
We were young and strong.
We were running against the wind.

 

[sxvnert]

Whatever, if they lose this series there has to be a major shakeup. IF they want to win, they will have to bring a goalie in here that is not found on the scrap heap. Now, that would mean one of the big 4 goes bye-bye.

Dubas had the opportunity to sign Markström back in 2020.

Anyone who gives Marchand a hard time is Ok in my books. I think I'm going to name my next kid Radko Gudas, boy or girl does not matter.

Good luck tonight. Seems like the Samsonov has an injured goalie against Vaselevski is the last thing you need right now.

Anyways, if not this year you’d still have a good window with this core. Tavares is getting old but a matthew’s and amener are still good. But have at least 2 more years in your window so I wouldn’t be to upset if Samasonov can’t get it done this year
