lets be honest, if we looked at the games without knowing the outcomes, it would be fair to say the majority would assume we would have been the team that got eliminated tonight. i get that in the playoffs results are the only thing that matter, but at some point there has to be pushback doesnt there? we have been soundly outplayed in all but probably 4 periods so far. not good enough man.
 
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.
If holl was legitimate defenseman that goal would never would have happened but holl is slow useless pylon who should never see ice again

Samsonov and Holl cost us the game.

It's fun to shit on the Leafs, but they were objectively the better team that game. Not that it matters anymore... but people are acting like they went out there and got dominated. Holl got dominated, no doubt.
 
The 3rd pair D is the 1st pair D in Sheldon's book!
I could almost stomach Holl and Muzzin because Muzzin was a beast a few years back but putting random D who can't play 1.5X of a D's job alongside him is flat out insane.
 
Of course they're going to win the next game; of course we're going to game 7; of course we're going to lose that too.
 
He came to play today and was the only line consistently good IMO. Others needed to follow his lead and they didn't.
I saw him trying and tried to muscle his way through. Hopefully, he will built on this and dominate in Game 6. We are overdue for a JT moments and he usually strike every 3-4 games.

Total poor team effort all around. We were outskated and beat to the puck all night long. And Sami looked awkward out there as well. If it takes a 110% effort to win, I'd say that we gave about 70 to 75%. Not nearly good enough.

Your meter was watching a different game than me, I guess. The Leafs were better than in the last two games and had their moments but Tampa still seemed to dictate most of the play.
 
The loser mentality in here is just mind blowing. We played pretty well tonight against a very good team and the best goalie in the world was the difference for them. We have two cracks to win one more game and anyone who thinks the series is over and we lost is just suffering from a mega dose of PTSD.

I think I'm not going to spend much time here next couple of days, this place is just too negative. All streaks end, our losing streak will end one day too and no reason it can't end the next game and if not then, no reason it can't end game 7. These next two games, sure it'll be would soul crushing if we lose but all that history and pressure will just make it that much sweeter if we win. This is what it's all about, if the pressure is too much for some of you then don't watch and play Parcheese instead or something and that's fine. But spewing your negativity all over this forum does nothing for anyone.

Should be a great game Saturday, looking forward to it. GLG!!

Considering the fact that Samsonov is the Leafs starting goalie and Keefe won't take out Holl...that's a very bad thing. Game 6 what do you think Cooper is going to do every last change?
 
This is random but if anyone lives in Toronto and you're above 19... down to watch the Saturday game? Maybe at a bar?

Few friends I have are Raptors fans who dislike the leafs. Don't mind watching alone at home but would be more fun with some fans

That’s cool brotha , real cool
If I wasn’t in Beautiful BC I’d be there
GLG

Real cool brotha ..

It's the moneypuck meter.

You can view it here:


Fans are quick to forget all the chances we had. Marner had a freaking breakaway, Rielly hit the post. Tavares got in 1 on 1 with Vasi, people forget all the missed chances at the end of the game - the meter doesn't.
 
We also need to push back a little on Tampa's "history" and disrespect that team Vasi a little bit here.

They won a bubble cup and never a championship over 82 games and lost like 40% of that roster. The Leafs never have an issue lighting him up.
sure, hopefully we get back to disrupting him in game 6, we sure did not light him up tonight, he played good
