Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 3-2 in OT | Down 3-0 in the Series

[Eye Test]

7 D and not one is liligren. Not only that but 2 are Gio’s corpse and HOLL.

f*** off coach queef

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Remember 2010 when we always missed the playoffs but had the best second line in the league and would usually out corsi teams and Ron Wilson was the coach? Those were the days. Good ol’ Grabo the warrior

 

[trellaine201]

At least Knies looks promising.

 

[stats1]

Matthews gone. I’d trade him for a shit load

 

[Arzak]

Was there a fake whistle or something? The number of pylons just standing before the goal is killing me.

3:0

Time to bet on winning the series. Good betting odds now.

no penalties on the panthers

Don't be that guy. Leafs played a gutless game.

 

[authentic]

They were the better team for much of this game, but in the 1st the Leafs were taking it to them and again they let that great starting energy get away from them with an early goal in the 2nd. After that the Leafs couldn't bury any of the chances given to them while the Panthers were better able to convert on what was given to them.

Just don't get how they became unclutch so quickly and how our best players have disappeared and now they're going to need a miracle of a lifetime to comeback and win this series.

I thought they doubled our shots in the 1st period? Either way it's just not enough

 

[francis246]

You cannot have 3 x 11mil forwards.

Can't do it.

Exactly which is why the leafs only have 2 lmao!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Keefe simply just seems inept in keeping his team motivated and focused

 

[Rob Brown]

Marner might have been our worst forward tonight.

He’s just incapable of playing in the playoffs. Can’t handle the pressure

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Not even @Dekes For Days can spin this into a positive. Say bye to your boy Kyle

If you only look at the analytics and not actually watch the games, you're gonna have a bad time poindexter.

 

[All Mod Cons]

So who do you trade? Honestly? Which one do you trade just knowing it's gonna bite you in the ass.

And how the hell do we get out of Holl's contract?

Marner and Tavares. I've neen wanting to trade them since the Columbus series. That was 3 years ago.

 

[ToneDog]

Anything more embarrassing than losing to Paul Maurice? Keefe can't beat anybody. Welcome back more pain. Thank you Shanny for hiring a fraud as your GM.

 

[robertmac43]

I'm an idiot so I'm going to choose to continue to believe.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

The sooner you rip off the BLUE AND WHITE " the better off " You Will BE"


Look bud, dry up the tears
if you were a player,...would you give up?

NO RIBBON FOR YOU or any fan that acts like this! ...imo

Did you not watch the OT goal?


Leaf players already gave up

 

[francis246]

I'm enjoying watching people turn on the core especially the overpaid two like the rest of us did years ago.

But tbh for me it was more of a case of never being convinced by Sheldon Keefe, maybe they would've gone further at some point with a proven NHL coach but they've missed the window now.

The Montreal series should have been the turning point. I just don’t get how we blew a 3-1 lead and nothing changed.

 

[93LEAFS]

Well, atleast they had the courtesy to blow it at 9:30pm on a Sunday to blow it, instead of having to wait until 11:30 for the deathblow. Abysmal performance in a must win game. Our zone exits and neutral zone play has been horrific and their doesn't seem to be any adjustments. And, why the hell are Holl and Gustavsson out together in important moments?

 

[Chief Leaf]

found u

I f you think we are the bottom of the stairs,...you slid down too much rails.

So No,..You didn't find me but the more important thing is to find you're heart/passion for the team and beleaf. Pssst,..spread it on

 

[AHockeyFanatic]

Injuries happen........

 

[LeafGrief]

I don't know if that's hard to imagine why anymore.

The idea that it can't work here is definitely taking hold for me.

Unofficial underwriters for the NHL? Too large a market with too big a task given the intangibles.

Wont forget what it was like to see Shanahan holding our card to draft first and see Matthews develop those first few years.

Beyond that...Comfortably numb.

If it can work in Montreal, it can work here. Sports is full of juggernauts in high profile markets, there is nothing about hockey in Toronto that is different than sports religion in other markets.

The core is rotten and I think the market plays into that, but I don't think it's impossible.

 

[MSZ]

Wonder why Keefe never tried Tavares , O’Reilly and Marner. They had chemistry in the season. Oh well one more game at least eh!

That would work against Buffalo in a meaningless regular season game. Not a playoff game in May.

 

[New User Name]

Sure. JT said the same thing before he came home.

Don't hold your breath with Connor coming home. Other than JT, who actually came back because his gf/wife was starting a business in the GTA name me one Canadian born player in in their prime returned to Canada to play hockey.

 

[Incognito]

There is absolutely zero excuse for losing to the Florida f***ing Panthers, let alone being on the verge of getting swept by them. This series should have represented a clear path to the Conference Finals. Unfortunately though, this team clearly doesn’t care.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

The Leafs have unlimited resources, could have gone out and hired the best possible coach.

Apparently the logical thing to do was to hand the job to a guy with zero NHL experience.

 

[HolyCrap]

Keefe simply just seems inept in keeping his team motivated and focused

Yup. So did Babcock. I think it’s a problem from management right down to the players.
