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

[hockeyes]

So the Leafs know this is do or die right? Why are they looking so f***ing lazy and defeated? Jesus christ, grow a back bone and play until your f***ing legs fall off instead of sulking it away.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Just empty the tank in the 3rd. I don’t care if you guys win round 2. Just f***ing do it in the 3rd plzzz

 

[notbias]

If we lose and Trotz is out there I'd agree.

He can't even make the playoffs... why?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I think we can and will win this game. Mental needs to be solid.

It definitely is deflating after a goal being called back...

 

[htpwn]

Well, one period left. They were flat last year in the 3rd against Montreal.

We'll see what they have to give this time around. Who's going to step up?

 

[IrishInOntario]

Well... 20 minutes to change the narrative of your franchise from that of a loser, to that of one capable of developing into a winner.

Home ice. Crowd is behind you. Their top centerman is out, injured. Everything is right there in front of them.

 

[GBLeaf]

Biggest difference in the two sides is their forechecking is so much more effective, we can't get the puck out, when we forecheck it's just a hit after the puck is gone.

 

[Primary Assist]

That’s 1-1 from the refs. Who breaks the tie?

Nick Paul?



...sorry

 

[LastOne2100]

I hate mikheyev and engvall. Absolutely awful

They both had big years but have done absolutely nothing in the playoffs.

Mik has been the most disappointing by a mile. Dude looks unwilling to engage at all.

 

[leafsfan5]

Maybe our depth guys can have a big game 7 here??? Mikheyev? Engvall?

 

[Stephen]

Not sure if the Leafs can beat the officiating, Lightning and luck in the third, but hopefully there's a stirring speech in that room right now.

 

[Teeder Keon]

That last goal against was on Marner.

Dubas needs to trade Marner in the offseason. The guy always crumbles and implodes under pressure in the playoffs.

I actually think you literally have never played a single sport in your life ..
And this is your first rodeo cowboy

 

[OVO16]

Tampa GM just knows how to build a team. Nick Paul and Hagel are great acquisitions.

Dubas needs to go

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

The team has been alright, but definitely not the type of urgency you'd hope to see from a group that's trying to finally get over the hump and win a series

 

[Man Bear Pig]

We're gonna win. Break out the vasi voodoo dolls again for the 3rd. f*** him and f*** the Lightning.

 

[cookie]

 

[CelticDruid]

Think Bunting is holding the puck too much instead of making a quick play to a linemate.

Yes, that's been obvious not a good look.

 

[mcleex]

Tampa is just gonna grind out the 3rd hands down

Block every shot
Dump the puck in
Hold the puck for faceoffs to kill plays

They'll grind it to a halt. It's over

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

We were down 2 going into the 3rd period of game 7 last year

Progress

 

[Aashir]

I think we can and will win this game. Mental needs to be solid.

It definitely is deflating after a goal being called back...

Well when you have a mental midget called Campbell in net then you lose…just how it is

 

[Torontonian]

vasy doesn’t let in a goal like like that, Campbell let’s in a soft goal.

 

[The Apologist]

We need to get our shit together. We are 20 away from another far too early end ..... And we know the ref ain't gonna help us.

 

[MoreMogilny]

I’ll see you in October then

Dont be so negative

Someone is going to score a pre season goal in September. Have faith!

 

[Atomos2]

This team lives for f***ing up. We’re f***ing cursed. We go from being up by 1 in game 6 where all we needed was to close it out to move on to being down by 1 going into the 3rd.

Saddest part about all this is that it’s predictable. Just f***ing predictable.

 

[Skullz]

Just not good enough in a game 7, yet again. Not over yet, but feels that way. No jump, no life, only 13 shots... 2 pathetic PP's. 20 minutes left to salvage this season, if they can't, we need to make some major decisions from top to bottom.
