Actually, from the end of the first period on, they outshot TB 32-19

That's my point. Reading on Hfboards and hearing media people say that Tampa was the better team last night is utter horseshit. They crapped the bed for at minimum half the game (the important part, too).

Even if it were true - they lost. Who cares

Exactly. And seeing the 'TB was better - Leafs got lucky' narrative being parroted in here is rather confusing too.

Tampa was not the better team, full stop.

 

[Strangle]

He deserves to be fired for putting in a 50-60 pt grinder for someone like Lafferty?

He already mentioned Knies won't be coming out - but I'd sure as hell take Bunting over Lafferty/ZAR

Agreed.

Bunting is a better option than a couple leafs right now, you should put him in.

Just not for Knies

Even if it were true - they lost. Who cares

They CHOKED! AGAIN!

 

[mix1home]

Hagel is a moron. Cocky SOB who hasn’t won anything. “We didn’t change anything so I’m not surprised the score is 4-1. F U Hagel! Loser comment from a loser player

To be fair though, they didn’t change anything, but Leafs did the same thing too. And result was the same. Fair play. Lol

[notDatsyuk]

Still using a VCR Ulf ??? If not you mean recorded.

Haven't 'taped' anything in years, but I still use the word.

 

[Teeder Keon]

You want to make sure they match whatever colour the Leafs are wearing or you're inadvertently waving the Lightening colour lol

I get it but this white towel shit ( waving your white flag of surrender !!!!!!!
Another thing
Who cares about the other team , especially the Dolts , they are an expansion team!!!!!
They wear our colours !!!!!!
We are the Mighty Mighty Leafs
A elite established , decorated franchise !!
We do things on our time our terms !!!
It’s about time we reclaim that moniker!!
Everybody does white towels !!
It’s so lame and again it’s a sign of surrender
Change this
Imagine with the light show and new sound
A literal sea of Blue !!
Dark , passionate and loud !!

1993, game 5 you must mean.

I just saw on sportsnet, this is the 4th three goal comeback win in leafs playoff history. the most recent was the CBJ game. 2nd most recent was game 5 in Detroit as we discussed. The only other one was this game...

and the first goal to spark the comeback came with just 7 minutes to go!

 

[Teeder Keon]

Now do hits

I did
Look for it brotha

Man, you are still in period #2 performance wise, you need to increase your pace and start scoring some goals in period #3 and OT.

Lmao
Awesome
GLG

 

[notbias]

Down 4-1 after 2 and winning 5-4 in OT could really be a turning point for this organization.

So this is what Boston felt like in the 2013 playoffs when they did it to Leafs in game #7

You really have to wonder how much impact vets and former Stanley Cup champs ROR and Schenn had in the room after the 2nd period and what they might have said,

In the past the core 4 and team simply didn't have that kind of push back or resolution in them. The trade deadline guys IMO seemed to have changed the thinking of the others by willing to fight through adversity. .

 

[mix1home]

Roll the clips.

 

[notbias]

Is no one kind of tempted to put Bunting back in? It bumps Kerfoot down to the 4th line and off the second PP... Bunting is a good player if he can stay away from distractions... not sure I'd do it, but it is tempting. The top 9 gets a lot better.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Apparently not. Leafs won the game on the PP. Ops!!

They were robbed! That was a blatant dive by Nylander! Refs are paid off to let Toronto get away with everything yet call crap like that against Tampa!

Am I doing this right?

 

[PromisedLand]

Last leafs to come to the team after leaving and made an impact, maybe Yannic Perrault?

Mike Komeserik

hey you said impact didn't say good or bad

I still remember the tape to tape pass he made to Camilleri when we were playing the habs. I was so f***ing mad at him

 

[Jojalu]

Last leafs to come to the team after leaving and made an impact, maybe Yannic Perrault?

Thomas and Perrault are the only two that come to mind.

What could have been if Gilmour wasn't injured 10 seconds into his return

 

[PromisedLand]

Marner needs to play with Tavares and Willie with Matthews those combos work so much better.

Knies with Tavares and Marner which provides 2 shooters and Knies to get in deep. Shelters Knies a bit with Marner who is good defensively.

Nylander and Matthews can then avoid the Cirrelli match-up and beat up on the Point line

 

[PromisedLand]

ROR with another big face-off win on the tying goal

did you see the reactions on the bench after the OT goal?

ROR was the most PUMPED and losing his shit on the bench

 

[mix1home]

Did anyone see Perry?

 

[RoadWarrior]

That's my point. Reading on Hfboards and hearing media people say that Tampa was the better team last night is utter horseshit. They crapped the bed for at minimum half the game (the important part, too).

Tampa had a good first period. After that they ran out of gas and the leafs gradually took over.

Did anyone see Perry?

Perry is probably injured. He was barely on the ice in the second half of the game.

 

[PromisedLand]

I am 100% sure Lafferty bumps and hits TB players all the time even without the puck.
There is no way Bunting is coming in for any of the 4th line. Before Kerfoot scoring, i think some can make a case for Bunting over Kerfoot bc Kerfoot is invisible but you can’t take Kerfoot out now after scoring that goal.

Bunting is a liability. We don't want to be killing penalties because of his stupidity. Tampa cannot goad Bunting into taking dumbass penalties if he isn't playng

 

[tmlms13]

Saw this screenshot on twitter from Dangle's stream

What's more impressive, the comeback or getting a Tim Hortons coffee and perfectly lined it up to the camera.

 

[mix1home]

I am really confused as to this whole "Stole this game" narrative. Were they outplayed for long stretches? Absolutely.

But at the end of the day.....

A) the Leafs outshot TB,
B) they outhit TB, and
C) they outscored TB.

+ made more blocks.

Man these ads are killing this site

Yeah man, they just got really bad lately.

Did anyone see Perry?

I hope we hear another Perry sucks chant going on at Scotiabank arena to start the game!
