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

[3blizzard4]

They will win game 4 and give us hope. In fact some dummy will take down Blue Jays Way road sign down with all the excitement.

Hey dubas Mike says hello

 

[Nineteen67]

They need to understand the difference between pain and injury

Exactly. None of these guys look injured.

Does Wonder Boy have any miracle workers in the Soo?

There's a big dumb overpaid defenseman in Edmonton named Darnell Nurse who played on the Soo and is from Hamilton. I always thought there was a greater than 0% chance he ends up in Toronto if Dubas' regime continues.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

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.

Edmonton's not in Canada?

It goes round and round here, but bottomline is desire and effort, elevating your game, putting it on the line. We’re Leaf’s fans, it doesn’t take much to satisfy and support our team, even losers are seen as winners, when they tried their hardest. That’s why this group drives us mad, the most pure talent every assembled and the rest just isn’t there.

I enjoyed our team when we Tanked for Auston, they played hard, not to much Talent, but they worked their asses off

 

[Racer88]

The sadistic thing would be for the Leafs to go hero mode and play free to make it 3-1. Just so they can ruin your Friday night and drop a massive one on home ice. I've seen these guys. I know what they're capable of.

Won’t ruin my Friday. The next thingLeafs related I watch will hopefully be the presser with ownership telling us all 3 management clowns have been fired

 

[Stephen]

Auston. Auston. You're already in the playoff after life. Stop talking and acting this way.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Don't worry people Leafs have wont he xGF% and are leading that stat 3-0 in the series. Thats all that matters...

LOL

Ahh glad to see were still the perennial xGF% champs. This will bod well for us when it comes to earning respect in the handshake line.

You have to, have to, have to have heart, grit, desire

If Marner and nylander and Matthews could play their hearts out, give checks when needed, take hits to make plays, even stick up for teammates, there’s no way I could see them losing. If they cared that much and put in 110% effort no one would be mad if they were to lose.

It’s these sad pathetic 50% half assed attempts which lead us here

 

[BallardEra]

In terms of wacky crap to shake things up before game 4, I’d strip Tavares of the C before game 4 and give it to Rielly. Nylander, Kampf, and Schenn get A’s.

Keefe stays on the bench, but has to wear a bag on his head or a clown nose. His choice.

Carleton the Bear wears a black veil and hands out coupons for Golf Town in Maple Leafs Square.

 

[PromisedLand]

At this point I just don’t want to get swept.

what?

getting swept is the best thing that can happen.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

The weird thing about this series is that I can’t think of one player on the panthers that is having a stand out series. Bob has been quite good but not like Carey Price in the bubble. A lot of the panthers have been quite good but more or less guys like Tkachuck and Barkov are just out there playing decently. For the leafs O’Rielly and Acari and Schenn are working their asses off. Lafferty is playing well, kampf is playing better than one would image (he’s gone next year) and still the team just can’t find a way to look remotely dominant.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Like, it just boggles my mind that Sheldon could just stand there on the bench and not make any adjustments. What happened to the guy that (admittedly took too long to do so) changed things up in the middle of Game 4 vs. Tampa and won? How could he not see what we all saw and change things?

 

[TonsofPuppies]

I feel sad for our fans, I really do. At least I was alive for four Stanley Cups (but only remember the last one). So many Leaf fans have never experienced the feeling and if it’s blown up it’ll be a lonnnng time before they do.

I feel sorry for some fans, not so for others. The Dubasites and those who continue to defend complete losers like Matthews and Marner year after year deserve this and more. The ones who realized years ago that this core wasn't it... I feel for them.

 

[authentic]

201 times in NHL history has a team been up 3-0 in the playoffs, and only 4 times has a team comeback and won. The first ever were the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, so let's become the only team to pull off this historic feat twice!!

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Hey dubas Mike says hello

Mike Babcock can go to hell.

He was a cringe coach overall even if he was more strict with the lineup decisions.

 

[Bomber0104]

Hey dubas Mike says hello

Looking forward to having a real hockey coach back with this team.

4 years is a long time to go without one.

even if one had realized it wouldn’t matter
Management hadnt realized that this group is not it. I hope they got the memo, we got it in piles of steaming shit year after year

 

[stats1]

Never seen a team so comfortable just gliding the puck to the outside excuse meeeeee if they got touched. Mitch was gone…..Mitch should be made an example… guy talks a ton about loving where he comes from etc… loves the attention that brings. When the time comes to pay it back he flops. f*** him!

 

[Cleetus]

not of a fan of this guy, but this is the truth

 

[Cynical]

Sportsnet needs game 5 back in Toronto to help pay for their billion dollar broadcasting fee. Man they screwed up. They assumed Matthews would bring deep playoff runs and Stanley cups into the Toronto market.

They should have realized Bettman had other ideas.

So Matthews for the #1 pick?

 

[socko]

Every other remaining playoff team gets more from their core than the Leafs do. This core is a joke.

All the talent in the world.
