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

[PromisedLand]

what are we gonna do with the calls anyway? Our PP is pathetic. we will just take 2 mins odd the clock in a game we are down a goal.

20 mins to show up and win the game.

Leafs havent shown up to play as far as i am concerned. Executions gave been terrible

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Matthews has to have the flu or something.

And the same lame excuses are said EVERY post season.

 

[Stephen]

Refs, gradually I began to hate them

They must have gone to the Kerry Fraser school of game fixing.

 

[notbias]

By what metric are they outplaying them?

Have you been watching the game? They are pushing the pace.

 

[AvroArrow]

It's clear the refs aren't gonna do us any favors, that's now 2 goals for Tampa off of horrible missed interferences. We will have to beat Tampa + the refs, it's doable but going to be difficult. Stil cant wrap my head around on how we don't get a powerplay on the Nylander play, unreal.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Look how Cernak defended Marner on his last rush. Didn't even look at the puck just shoved his hands into Marner's chest.

Brodie needs to take notes.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

OMG LOOK HE'S BACK HOW DID I KNOW?

thanks for you talking down to me though...

OMG LOOK HE’S REALLY HURT HOW DID I KNOW?

Thanks for talking down to me though..

 

[IPS]

It's a goddamn play that happens a hundred times a game, but you choose to call it on a potential tying goal.

You can't argue with Leafs fans who defend this reffing - they legit have single digit IQ's.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

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

Dubas needs to go

Yeah you're right, Dubas should have traded two 1sts for Hagel and acquire Nick Paul who literally scored his only 2 goals of the playoffs.

Lmao

 

[IrishInOntario]

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.

Powerplays are 2-2. Just have to keep playing.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

What were the Money Line odds for Tampa winning?

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Welcome to page 69, the most exciting action yet!

*lazily waves stick around*

 

[Lightsol]

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.

When we forecheck, their defense pick us. But based on the goal called back, if we try to do the same thing, we're getting 2 in the box.

 

[hockeyes]

Because the refs stealing a goal from them and then handing Tampa a goal via Muzzin having the stick literally ripped from his hands have sent them a message that the league will do ANYTHING to stop them from winning this game?

Who cares about the refs? Yea they suck and are screwing the Leafs but there is no reason the Leafs can't just bury these ass clowns.

 

[leafsfan5]

I don’t think there’s a lack of heart or effort here. I think it’s primarily that they’re getting locked down and Keefe has no idea how to adjust

It’s the same thing as game 5 in 2020. The playbook is out there

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Leafs couldn't get the cycle game going in the latter half of the period. Quick and easy exits for Tampa

 

[MoreMogilny]

Compared to their 7.5 shots a period? Okay.

Tampa? It’s 9.5

Plus they’ve got two cups

How can they possibly want it more than a team so starved for success?

But they’re showing that they do

 

[Nooodles]

im just gonna get so f***ing drunk

 

[robertmac43]

Even the Soccer commentator gets it;

 

[Gallagbi]

Tough period. Disallowed goal and a questionable non call just before that Paul goal

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This lead isn’t insurmountable at all. If Leafs keep pressing the way they’ve been they’ll have two before you know it. Just need to watch for Tampa and all their interference, be ready to compensate.

 

[Amadeus]

I don't know. I just don't like our game. We've created barely nothing!

 

[Apex Predator]

Need that big Speeza speech! Bring it next period. Need to see there best period of the season.

 

[Nineteen67]

The Jays bats are coming alive at the right time.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Why are they allowed to obstruct all they want. Tampa is getting all the breaks. Let’s hope it changes in the third.
