Post-Game Talk: Leafs Book Their Tickets for Game 7 [MOD WARNING in OP]

[ashs]

Get rid of Matthews marner nylander and rielly.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I don’t think so either, but a game 7 would be fun.

I don't know, they are not winning game 7. They better win game 6.

what bandwagon? a bandwgon for a team that won 1 series in like 20 years?

Is this a joke.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

People like to be negative. When the Leafs win this series, those same knuckleheads will be hanging out of their car windows driving up Yonge St.

Hell yeah!

 

[Kiwi]

BTW - where is the "it's only one game" crowd after G4?

Still feeling optimistic?

They still have 2 more opportunities to win the series, it's very doable if they don't completely collapse mentally

I've seen this team screw up to may times to be optimistic but it's still there for them if there good enough

 

[TheGreenTBer]

At minimum this team needs to take out Pacioretty and put in Robertson. Should’ve done it tonight when we had home ice and last change but Craig f***ed up. Robertson is younger, faster, more energetic, and can lay the occasional hit, even if it’s not as heavy at Pacioretty at his best. Yes you’re risking a bad penalty and but Jesus Christ he can’t be any worse than the whole whack of nothing we’re getting from Pacioretty. Plus being scratched for three straight games in favour of a geriatric may have him playing with more sense and caution.

The dude was known as Patio-ready in Montreal for a reason. Like i know the health concerns but he's not exactly clutch.

 

[LeafEgo]

The Leafs can easily win next game. If anything they probably will too.

But with the history the way it is, the pessimism and frustration until then remains more than justified

I'm not worried about the Sens, they don't offer very much. We'll probably take the series but we ain't going deep. And then what.

 

[Brown Dog]

I think the history is exactly why they were. Imagine being the guys who have peformed this way all these years... must be heavy.

I mean it just kills us as fans, we have nothing to do with it, imagine owning it.

I expect it to continue over the next two games. Not saying the can't win them, but it feels like the Sens would almost have to implode for that to happen because anyone expecting the Leafs to come out and take a game are just ignoring all the past, stats and facts.

Yeah, kinda hard to envision any win that isn't a 2-1 nailbiter type with deflection goals and Stolarz standing on his head.

 

[Stephen]

especially when Leafs were getting goals off of point shots

they continue with their fancy bullshit and get double teamed or outworked and puck goes the other way

look at ottawa working the points to maintain zone time especially in the 3rd period. PISSED ME OFF watching ottawa do it and leafs were one and done every f***ing shift except for the 4th line

That one PP in the third period was so bad when Auston was just dancing around all positions trying to do everything. Just noticeably awful in an empty calorie busy work Nick Robertson kind of way.

 

[Dayjobdave]

I was so frustrated I flipped to the Jays.

 

[BallardEra]

Stolarz now has a .899 SV% in this series.

 

[ashs]

People like to be negative. When the Leafs win this series, those same knuckleheads will be hanging out of their car windows driving up Yonge St.

Not really. We know that we Havnt improved much from years prior. They showed us that today.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

Brendan Shanahan certainly is.

I’m no longer happy with just letting him walk. I need his firing to be public and humiliating. The only part of his tenure with the Leafs that went even remotely right was the tanking/losing. after that it’s been a decade of failure.

 

[Mad Scramble]

Why do it the easy way, when you can do it the leaf way

 

[colchar]

I dont care if Stolarz was the second coming tonight and the team sucked dick (missed the game due to super lengthy new phone purchase process lol)

Woll should play game 6. Stolarz got his chanced and its time for Woll now

So the team can't score, but Stolarz should sit? Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

 

[wingman75]

Yeah, kinda hard to envision any win that isn't a 2-1 nailbiter type with deflection goals and Stolarz standing on his head.

Any other kind of Leafs win would be a blessing or a miracle or something along those lines.

I am here for it though you know if they want to switch things up!

 

[The Legend]

Dude this isn't just about Ottawa. That's the whole bloody point.

Relax that person just became a fan last year they don't get it

 

[Brown Dog]

I was so frustrated I flipped to the Jays.

Dang. That's heavy.

 

[Rare Jewel]

I was so frustrated I flipped to the Jays.

I was so frustrated, I flipped a table.



Not really.

 

[Stephen]

I'm not worried about the Sens, they don't offer very much. We'll probably take the series but we ain't going deep. And then what.

Blowing the 3-0 series lead to see it at 3-2 is basically downgrading this team from a potential dark horse run and a credible threat in the second round, ECF is possible, to if we get to the second round and get the doors blown off that will already be a success.

 

[PromisedLand]

someone ask matthews, marner and nylander if they spell "CLUTCH"

 

[Brown Dog]

Any other kind of Leafs win would be a blessing or a miracle or something along those lines.

I am here for it though you know if they want to switch things up!

They've gotta play the games, so I'll hold out hope that they'll go off-script this time.

 

[The Legend]

Game 6 in 2019 really hurts. Still does.

The funniest (slash I'm going to cry) thing is people BACK THEN were like "ok time to prove this team is different"

It's been six putrid playoff exits since.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

Even if they rebuild, the nasty stink of these chokers is now engrained in the organizational DNA. It would be best if this organization is completely deleted.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

You were probably saying that when the Leafs were playing MTL in 2021.

 Lol

f*** that noise. We are sour for a damn good reason and if you disagree I don't know what to tell you.

It's not over. They could still win. They haven't choked yet. But the warning signs are there whether you choose to see them or not.
