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

[supermann_98]

Holl and Gio both -3

Meanwhile Liljegren and Gio were our best duo for over 2 months early in the season. End this Holl madness and never let him play another game in a Leafs sweater I beg you Keefe you idiot

 

[LaPlante94]

Samsonov can't let that 2nd goal in. Killed us. Holl looked lost/confused on those 1st 2 goals as well. Star players need to show up and get us leads instead of only showing up when we're losing in the 3rd. Bunting most likely coming in next game for ZAR so I could see this game 6.

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Knies-Tavares-Marner
Kerfoot-O'Rielly-Jarnkrok
Lafferty-Kampf-Acciari

I might even put Jarnkrok with Matthews and Bunting and load up Tavares and Marner with Nylander.

Bunting-Matthews-Jarnkrok
Nylander-Tavares-Marner
Knies-O'Rielly-Kerfoot
Lafferty-Kampf-Acciari

Call me crazy but maybe Lily should be playing

 

[LeafGrief]

I wish I was as optimistic as some of you younger Leafs fans; predicting a series win in 6. I've been a fan for 35+ years and I've seen some epic bed-shittings. Tampa is winning this in 7.

I wish I wasn't so jaded, because the confidence to win it is what the team themselves actually need. You could tell the whole rink was thinking, "Here we go again".

As with all of our other iterations the last few years, this team is talented enough to win it. The question is whether they can get out of their own heads. Game 7 at home is going to be an absolute mess of a crowd, they're going to have a better shot on the road in Game 6,

 

[Gabriel426]

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.

I felt the same way.
Leafs didn’t play a bad game and I really don’t think TB played a great game. It came down to mistakes and if Sammy made that save on the second goal while Holl didn’t lose his position in the first goal. Leafs could have won this game.

The boys did seem to be nervous and grabbing their stick a bit too tight, hopefully playing away will settle them down a bit.

 

[Kurtz]

A couple of bad ones by Sammy, unfortunately. Went swimming on that last goal.

Holl out, Lil and Bunting back in.

This was never going to be easy.

 

[Kiwi]

Didn't put in the effort to deserve to win
Cant give a consistent 60 minute effort
Looked like they were inside there own heads, again

We just gave Tampa life, I've seen this movie before

It doesn't end well for us

 

[sxvnert]

Lalonde kissing Tampas ass hard tonight. Must have gotten a talkin too from Yzer.

 

[TorontoTrades]

Samsonov looked like they forgot to sharpen his skates. His positioning was terrible all game.

 

[Nineteen67]

Swap coaches and I'm 100% sure this series is a 4 game sweep for the Leafs. It’s impossible to express my embarrassment that the best coach an organization like the Leafs could find is Sheldon f***ing Keefe

Swap goalies and it’s over in 5

 

[34]

THE SERIES IS OVER. Vasilevskiy is going to shut them out in game six and seven.

 

[Cor]

I wonder what the record is for most goals against on-ice for in a playoff round

Because Justin Holl must be close

 

[TheShape]

Killer. Instinct.

 

[stats1]

Sorry guys seen this wayyyy too many times. This is going 7 and we’re all going to be clutching our butt cheeks

 

[Aashir]

Looking towards game 6, I’d move jarnkrok down. Apart from his one goal, he hasn’t provided much playing top line. Not sure I want bunting top 6 though so idk

 

[Jmo89]

Keefe is such a loser. The game going from 2-1 to 3-1 is on him. Not just the 4th line playing late, but the 4th line with Holl who has been on for almost every goal against.

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

Don’t love our chances if the goaltending difference stays the same.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

0-10 in elimination games baby..

My fav was when they scored to get within one.. there is 3 mins left and Keefe rolls our Kampf, Knies and Jarnkrok... lol.. where do I apply to be an NHL coach?

Isn't it 0-11 after tonight?

 

[34]

It's happening... Again

It happened.

 

[7even]

Thought we played pretty good. A bad goal away from a 2-2 overtime. Had a ton of grade A chances but hoping for Vasilevskiy to be an absolute pumpkin 4 games in a row was a bit too much of an ask. You have to score on the chances you should be scoring on. Not much more to say about this one. The Keefe and Holl histrionics are a bit much.

 

[Notsince67]

I am going to step in and dictate what will be done now because I'm the boss.
Mathhews, Marner, Bunting
Tavares, Jarnkrok, Kerfoot
O'reilly, Nylander, Knies
Acciari, Kampf, ZAR
Rielly, Schenn
Broadie, Mccabe
Giordano, Liljegrin

No debating...my way or the highway this time

 

[alliuk12]

worst coach and worst player in the nhl

 

[TheTotalPackage]

I thought Samsonov was dynamite and the only reason why this was close.

Holl is horriawful. That goal he got turnstile'd was horrific.

The big guns showed up too late.

Vasilevskiy has ice in his veins.

I thought the Leafs had this game in the bag heading in.

Leafs in 6.

 

[ToneDog]

0 and 11 in closeout games. We got 2 more kicks at the can.

Vasi bought his xray contacts so it won't be easy.

 

[Mopar]

Can't wait for Keefe and Holl to be far away from this hockey team.

A terrible coach (who was a terrible hockey playet) and a terrible player. Absolutely killing us.
