GDT: Leafs @ Lightning 7 PM - the Grand Finale, 70 or bust.

[Aashir]

Kucherov played 17:48 after 40
Matthews played 13:54 after 40

One coach is trying to get his player a milestone. The other coach is trying to get his players to hate him.

one player is even

one player is -3

if matthews played more the score would be 7 or 8 to 1

Better to ignore clown level posts.

Like guys who post about Pkers who aren't on the ice, man ain't that the truth.

 

[stickty111]

The same way everyone who is jumping off a ledge will walk back their insanity when the Leafs win game 1?

The same way you will make outlandish predictions despite them being wrong. I thought Leafs got home ice first round?

To be fair, Kucherov has half a dozen PPs to work with. lol

He has 1 more PP than the Leafs. Cooper let's Kucherov play the full 2 mins though

 

[Al14]

And then skate off super casually like he was finishing a practice drill. SMH. This team has no pride

If I'm Treliving, I trade his ass even if i lose the trade !!! Nylander should have stayed on the ice long enough to at least prevent the pass.

Nylander has cashed in, now he's just going to coast for the remainder of his new contract. He won't take hits to make plays. He just protects himself and his pretty face. More interested in appearing in muscle shirts for the ladies.

We all know Cooper going to have his entire team on Matthews.

He will not let kucherovs night get over shadowed. As a good coach should do. Stand by his player

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Can Matthews score his 70th so I can turn this shit off and wait to get stomped by the Bruins

To be fair the leafs have been on the PK a bunch

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Tampa is throwing everything and the kitchen sink to stop Matthews from getting 70. Would’ve been nice of us to replicate that effort on our PK against Kucherov. Oh well. Who cares it’s game 82 I guess.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

So when we go out in the 1st round where will the draft pick fall?

 

[All Mod Cons]

Blowing It up is both impossible because Matthews and Nylander just signed extensions and stupid

So we just have to be like this forever? That is a daunting thought.

Leafs outshot Tampa

Did you want to put Matthews in net?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm sorry but this is a very stupid hockey team.

This is a hockey team that doesn't give a f*** about game 82 because it's game 82

 

[saffronleaf]

I actually don’t want Matthews to get to 70 anymore

don't worry he won't

 

[sxvnert]

Early-mid 20s.

 

[stickty111]

I'm good. I want to see a cup before I die. It ain't happening with Shanny, Keefe and this core. Get over it and move on already.

Hopefully NHL bans the Leafs in the playoffs. Somebody tell them already

 

[HolyCrap]

The same way you will make outlandish predictions despite them being wrong. I thought Leafs got home ice first round?

He will move the goal posts and declare himself right. It’s hilarious but sad at the sametime.

 

[Jojalu]

lots of people in this thread.

Any coaches care to comment on their own personal experience around momentum?

anyone want to go on record saying it doesn't matter if you lose a bunch of games in a row going into the playoffs?

meh, we know our path.

it is known.

I will easily go on the record.

It does play a factor but it's not an absoulte.

There are times where teams rest players and it hinders their pergormance, and times it works and players come ready to go. Besides, if the Leafs finished hot it would be dismissed as not mattering because it wasn't the playoffs.

The Leafs have obviously just been playing to get Matthews his 70th and it could very well burn them. The good news is that Bos also gave up on the season and has been garbage as well.

Whoever wakes up first in the series has a good chance.

 

[Atomos2]

Should’ve just rested Matthews. Waste of a meaningless game.

 

[Aashir]

Leafs outshot Tampa

Did you want to put Matthews in net?

I didn't know outshooting a team was the goal.

he's flat out sucked the last 2 games. Chased 70 the last two games instead of having the goals chase him

 

[Confucius]

At best they change the coach and Shanahan is gone. The on ice product will still be led by usual culprits.

Shanahan isn’t going anywhere, Keefe may be gone.

 

[fahad203]

This is a hockey team that doesn't give a f*** about game 82 because it's game 82

Yet Tampa and Florida did

You are who are. Game 1 or Game 82

Can't even do that cause he has a full NMC.

Team is fully trapped on this treadmill once Marner re-signs.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I want to care but can’t
