Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-2

[TMLeafer]

Big fail.

Under 3 goals again, Samsonov let in a back breaker, while Swayman made big saves in traffic. Special teams crap the bed AGAIN

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

f*** Sheldon Keefe and his coaching staff for having this team so disjointed and never being able to figure out the special teams.

f*** Samsonov for that inexcusable Frederic goal. Absolute peewee garbage to let that one squeak by you.

f*** this organization and Nylander for not protecting him better chasing f***ing 100 points and now he’s useless sitting in the press box.

f*** Liljegren for proving every doubter right and being a soft, stupid defenseman who can’t win a battle to save his life.

f*** this team.

Marner and Tavares;
1 goal 1 assist

Rempe and Reaves;
1 goal 1 assist

 

[PromisedLand]

1-7 in our last 8 playoff games at home

how much of that is Keefe?

He makes zero adjustments either. Leafs also got outshot by Boston at home.

Same ineptitude that has existed since Keefe took over continues to persist. What kind of a coach repeats the same garbage every f***ing time

 

[wingman75]

5 PPs and ZERO goals for the Leafs meanwhile PK continues to be a JOKE

Shame on this f***ing team and the coach

especially the high AAV players who took all the money and can't f***ing show up

I'm disappointed but can't be shocked.

They fooled me with their execution last game, I'll admit it.

Special teams. Goaltending. Stars not being difference makers.

As much as I want them to win, I am looking forward to the impending changes.

 

[mjd1001]

Boston looks like the better team. They get the puck out of the zone so well, and have the edge in goaltending. But, its 2-1. Series far from over.

 

[SprDaVE]

I thought they played well, but the special teams tonight were rough and Swayman was fantastic. Samsonov was good early, then he let in an awful goal, and he was just not able to make a tough save after that.

It was always going to be hard. But they won't get far regardless if they can't score a power play goal.

 

[hamzarocks]

Skill leads to wins. Grit just makes losses entertaining

Your fave player lilijgren has neither which is why we cant win

 

[trellaine201]

Boston had better goaltending and Tavares needs to retire.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Honestly, I have no idea how you cure the powerplay in the playoffs. This has gone on for years.

 

[hfman]

both teams are very evenly matched

bruins are a hair better, which is why they are winning it again


this ends in another game 7 loss... book it

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Guy Boucher you are my hero

 

[Steven1562]

0/5 on the powerplay and the Bruins scored 2. That's the difference in the game and goaltending that wasn't brutal.

Skill leads to wins. Grit just makes losses entertaining

I’m sure there is praise for Dubas in there somewhere but skill hasn’t made the difference for this team over the last 8 years

 

[MarMarSab3]

Liljegren needs a seat, extremely tired of Marners BS and Keefe is not a very good coach.

 

[djdev]

goaltending, special teams and coaching remain the problem come post season.

 

[Nineteen67]

Boston relies on goaltending and breaks. If Swayman plays like he has been I think Boston will give Florida a run their money.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Big fail.

Swayman has been a problem for us, hopefully they go back to Ullmark for game 4.

 

[Torontonian]

Special teams and goaltending, the two biggest things in the playoffs are costing us this series. Both need to be addressed in the off season with a new coach and a new goaltender.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

I'm still in utter shock at how soft Liljegren is. That 3rd goal should not exist

 

[Rare Jewel]

NYLANDER WE f***ING NEED YOU WTF

Won't do much, honestly

Just like when Manrer was out and coming back would fix the PP.


A "meh' D, and wonky Goatlending is what needs to change.

 

[OddyOh]

Brightside: we're one night closer to Keefe's goodbye party.

 

[Revolt]

Special teams are so awful. What's with all the dumb passes on the PP once we gain entry or have posession in their zone? Just throwing away for some dumb drop pass, or trying to thread the puck through skates for no reason.

Samsonov just kills this team time after time with a soft goal. Like you just never have any confidence in him. That first goal Boston had should never go in. 10/10 times you have to stop that as a NHL goaltender. Just ridiculous.

 

[Leafs87]

Very difficult to accept this one
