GDT: Just Win | Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1 - Game 7: Bolts @ Leafs | 7:00 p.m. EST | CBC, TNT

[The Kessel Run]

Wasn’t an amazing period but not a bad period by any stretch. The leafs controlled the play. Thats just rotten luck on the first goal. We’ll get it back.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Same story , can’t perform under pressure

 

[Cynical]

Same issue every year lol. They can't score on the powerplay in the playoffs. Otherwise they've been good.

 

[wingman75]

Pathetic. Moment is too big

PP is a complete joke. If we don't win the faceoff, we generally don't get any chances it seems like.

If I know we are going to enter on the left and leave Tavares on his own in a 1 on 3, Tampa knows too. Fckn pathetic.

Lots of time left, but the special teams gap is LARGE.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

such a frustrating team to watch, honestly!

 

[Marshmallow Man]

If you are allowed to, Leafs should just decline the next PP. It's just a waste of 2 minutes and makes it less likely they'll get back into the game.

 

[MSZ]

Can't be disappointed by the effort, but problem is, effort matters little at this point.

Our pathetic PP is going to cost us.

Tampa owns the special teams battles in the series.

 

[TorMapleJays]

How many times must they FORCE that drop pass. TAMPA just stacks the line and we are not even entering with SPEED!

GET THE f***ING PUCKS IN DEEP AND GRIND.

WHY ARE WE CHANGING.

rielly needs to be moved off the PP. His decision making is so slow.

 

[TimeZone]

Six shots.

Six.

 

[Scion]

Wasn’t an amazing period but not a bad period by any stretch. The leafs controlled the play. Thats just rotten luck on the first goal. We’ll get it back.

Is this your first Leafs game?

 

[Beyonder91]

PP = gain zone with a pass to Tavares who then turns it over... Tampa just keeps forcing the entry to Tavares.

 

[Racer88]

That we are outplaying them this badly? no, expected.

I expected us to be outplaying them…….and then Tampa skates down the ice and scores.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Reilly. Every single time giving a free zone entry and space. Always.

Ya he also didn't help that play. Neither did the lack of back checking forwards.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Bit pissed with Rielly that period. Slow decision making in offensive zone. Effort level in defensive zone doesn't look like he remembers it is game 7.

 

[TMLeafer]

If the PP is going to continue to be pathetic with no modifications, blame Campbell all you want, not going to win like that.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

How the hell did he hit the side of the net with that set up

Was too late anyway

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Someone tell Brayden Point this isn't soccer, that was quite the performance.

Ya because it toatlly makes sense for one of Tampas best players to take him self out of a game 7…….

Explain why he would do that exactly?

 

[Apex Predator]

Played good that period. Just gotta keep that up for 2 more and Campbell needs to be perfect.

 

[93Gilmour]

Play a game with me.

How many minutes until the refs give the Bolts a makeup call.

I say four minutes of game time.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Tampa is happy to play boring low event hockey until the Leafs/Campbell make a mistake, and then capitalize on it. The Leafs need to get good goaltending the rest of the way

 

[jgs]

It's almost never 1 players fault but Campbell contributed (again) to a 1st period goal that puts us behind

Stop blaming Campbell. He made the first save, the d should have been there for the rebound. When the opposing beats your defense to the rebound, that is on your defense. Plus the forwards were lazy getting back.

 

[saffronleaf]

It wouldn't have counted and it still missed the net lmao

yup wasn't even a shot on goal (even if it was timely which it wasn't)

 

[KobeBean143]

Well at least we will never have to see that woke assholes face around these parts anymore

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

It was a pretty good period. ...until it wasn't. PP needs to do something.

 

[Future]

Rielly has zero hockey sense. God, this team is taking years off my life.
