Post-Game Talk: Holl and Keefe hand Tampa the victory

[Da Cool Rula]

F0 leafs

Leafs in 6.... I knew Tampa wouldn't go down easy but i'm not going to rag on the team here..... They left it all out there... Just didn't get the bounces in this game. Need to close in Tampa because game 7's never go our way.

 

[LeafGrief]

Leafs gonna Leaf. It's never the easy way.

 

[Stephen]

This felt like Raptors losing Game 5 at home with that terrible 3 pointer by Kyle Lowry in the dying seconds going behind the backboard, and having to go to Golden State for Game 6. Boston couldn't close out at home in Game 5.

Let's win this one in Florida where the Leafs love to play on Saturday.

 

[rocketman588]

I'll start panicking if we lose game 6

Didn't really play well

Vasi finally did

O'Reilly is good at hockey

I hope we decide to start playing hockey before the 10 min mark of the third next game

 

[All Mod Cons]

I just don't want to have to watch Justin Holl and John Tavares play hockey anymore.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

If Holl is in the lineup next game you know it's going to game 7

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Keefe’s love affair with Holl and the fourth line f***ed us. Are we all glad we sat Bunting now? Down most of the game we could’ve used another weapon instead of useless Lafferty.

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

Samsonov really sunk us with the last couple of goals. The second one was inexcusable, shades of Andersen. And Holl needs to be benched in Game 6.

 

[Rielly4]

funny aston reese and Holl with two brutal plays. Really shoulda been Lilly and Bunting. Play your best players, pretty simple stuff. It was obvious to me Knies shoulda been in game 1 but he couldnt realize that either.

 

[Wendelstache]

14/19 Goals Holl has been on for ...
Even Nik Lidstrom wouldn't have that long of a leash.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Keefe doesn't know how to win a playoff series...what the hell was that? Waited WAY too long to adjust

 

[Carltons Cup]

Tampa isn't losing 3 straight on home ice.

This goes to game 7.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

4th line out there down by a goal with 10 min to go and already having trouble creating offense.

Amazing.

 

[7even]

Dread it, run from it, game 7 always arrives

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Am I crazy or did they miss a high stick there that hit Knies on the face?

Ignored not missed

I actually have little issue with this game. I think we had our chances and looked good for much of the game. Onto the next and hopefully bounces go our way

We just all suffer ptsd from the last 10 elimination games

 

[Menzinger]

Not happy with the loss but thought they played well.

I’m not worried

Good take - and agreed.

The team looked good enough - just needed to stop one more of those Tampa goals (especially that unfortunate third one)

 

[KPower]

You know how this is gonna end leaf fans…

We all know, some are in denial though.

 

[sxvnert]

Gut the core. This team is DONE!

 

[Aashir]

You’re not good at watching hockey. Stop whining about the best goalie in this series.

Oh I’m sorry we should praise manure because vasi is shit

Big surprise that he was great and ours wasn’t


Rerun like last year

 

[djdev]

im not even mad, i turned it off in the second lol, i will watch again if they make the second round. its just not fun to watch being outplayed and outcoached every game lol.

 

[mikeyz]

Tampa is winning this series on Monday. Bookmark it.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Give Tampa life .. Great, grand. And they get to go back home where they've been unstoppable.

Death by 1,000 cuts I tell you.

 

[Gabriel426]

This also reminded me of the Raptors Game 5 against GS. They felt behind and tried to mount a come back but felt short and end up winning in 6

 

[ponder]

Utterly predictable, called it before the game started:

GDT: - Apr. 27, 7:00pm: The BWO proudly presents "The Leafs vs TB - It's Game 5 Baby!" - The Opposite Edition

Keefe is a f***ing idiot. Holl has been so bad all series, we have a WAY better RD sitting in the pressbox (Lily), but he just won’t use him. Insanity.

It was also pretty insane to play ZAR over Bunting, but Holl over Lily is the much bigger problem. This f***ing idiot better get his head out of his ass and play our best players from here on out.
