Fans are so bipolar. One minute it's we are the greatest ever now we suck and are the worst. Relax everyone knew this would be a 6-7 games series. Tampa are the champs they won't go down easy. Even Boston the greatest regular season team in history is going 6. It just sucks because it's a missed opportunity.
Holy cope.
 
Now the panel says the Leafs will have a lot less pressure on Saturday. Are you kidding me? This core just can't handle the pressure. This is all mental and they are beating themselves down.

Let's dial down the pressure on the Leafs though. Put things into context, the Lightning are the ones trying to build a legacy and keep their run going. We're just here to spoil the party.
 
Not going to be too hard on Sammy but that 3rd goal was bad and a backbreaker at that point in the game, full stop.

He'll be the first one to tell you he's got to be better though, so you roll with him.

Nothing pisses me off more than the fact that Mr Bean scored
Tired of seeing that scrub go off on us in important games

Keefe started the game with a line that has never played together ever. Can you spell f***ing moron

Holl continues to play and a lot
Bunting sitting out for f*** tards like ZAR and Lafferty
Plays the 4th line like a 1st
Plays the 4th line last in a game down a goal

BEST OF ALL. KEEFE IS NOW 0-8 IN ELIMINATION GAMES. ABOUT TO BE 0-10
 
I did find it odd so many people were going nuts over those OT comeback wins and being up 3-1 despite being outplayed for much of the series. There's a history that can't be ignored.

They may very well have finally grown as a team and can win this. But until they do, those OT wins have a chance of being just a new heart-breaking way of losing a series.
 
Lightning give a shit meter looks like 1/10 and they still get the win. Hardly a desperation game by them. Not surprised but still disappointed nonetheless.
They played perfect low event hockey. That's hiw you frustrate teams. Leafs need to play like that and keep leads longer.
 
The 1-1 tie goal was just not good. You want to enjoy that lead and build on it without giving it up like that.

The second goal was brutal, Lalime style.

Other than that, it was Vasi who was good at the other end, but ultimately still beatable. I noticed the Leafs also were hesitant to lob from the point, which makes no sense seeing how successful it was.

Marner was also noticeably tight. Starting to get fancy and bobbling a few things here and there.
Lalime style... Great comparison. Brought back great memories.

Samsonov couldn’t make the saves

Showed up too late

What’s

I always said Leafs in 6. Not changing it l

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.
Coaching this bunch can't be coached6
You can't play from behind 3 games in a row and think you are going to comeback and beat a team like Tampa all 3 times. It is really that simple. We can't just try and turn it on for 5-10 minutes a night and think that is going to be enough.
Leafs played 1 solid game
4 years of Keefe
I 5hink cooper would have had a dynasty with this core 4
 
Sheldon Keefe is a f***ing JOKE. Fire his 2 dollar stupid ass out of the city and Holl to the sun and end Leafs fans' misery.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

#FireKeefe

No Samsonov lost them that game he gave up a goal 25 seconds after they made it 1-0 and you simply can't do that and THEN he allowed the 2nd goal, and that 2nd goal CAN NOT go in.

I hate Keefe too, but SAMSONOV blew this one.

Samsonov needs to get his head out of his ass because he's had ONE game where he's allowed less than 3.

NOT good enough.

And before somebody says it I don't care that Vasy has done the same.

I'm not a Tampa fan, I don't care what Vasilesky has done.

This is about Samsonov and he's been dog shit in this series

We're playing for the dubious honour of not going 20 years between series wins. The entire rink was a ghost town because the fans were chewing their nails the entire third period. It would be great to dial down the pressure in the manner you describe, but you could see it in the eyes of the Leafs tonight as soon as Cirelli scored.
