Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose 4-3 OT in game 5

[lovemyleafs]

If this goes to game 7, we're f***ed.

 

[JayfromNB1219]

There’s no way they win game 6 with their fans in the building. This is going to 7.

It’s 2500 people relax lol

 

[Sypher04]

This is going to 7. We all know the Leafs.

They never are able to just secure the bag. They always have to make it difficult.

Now the team has to try to win in Montreal where they’ll want to put on a show for their fans for the first time in over a year.

Typical Leafs B.S.

People are making way too much of the Montreal having fans in attendance story.

Fans have zero impact on the game. None. Atmosphere is interesting for the spectacle of games, but had no bearing on what transpires.

If the Leafs play as they can and have, they can easily win game 6

 

[ER89]

Mitch marner and auston matthews were a f***ing disgrace. They floated ALL f***ing game long. Keefe was worse for rewarding their shit play with ice time. f***ing pathetic.

 

[Gallagbi]

Im terrified now. I told my bro we either win in five or lose in seven before the series started.
I don't think I could handle a summer of 'It was 3-1'

Never good to give a team life like we just did, especially when our rep is no killer instinct.

Honestly, I can't believe we just blew a fantastic comeback on a 2-0 in overtime. What the actual f***.

 

[Stephen]

You have to be a special kind of stupid to throw a puck across the blue line while your team is deep. Special kind of stupid. They didn't win, we choked. Terrible terrible performance. Unacceptable.

Galchenyuk has always been a very skilled but questionable IQ player. The key is to hardness his energy level and bursts of offensive output vs the ways he can burn you like tonight.

 

[Havoc]

Hopefully the boys pep talk gally to get his head back in the game. That second line has been clutch we need him to shake it off and forget it happened.

 

[MoreMogilny]

I said after game one that the Leafs would lose this series. After this chokefest and our first line being invisible all series long... it's done as far as I'm concerned.

These players can't handle the pressure and choke every f***ing season. It's the same f***ing shit.

I have a hard time disagreeing for sure. Especially when Matthews and Marner are out there laying eggs.

 

[Jmo89]

Until they win a series I won't believe this core is over the hump. Even beating Montreal my expectations will be tempered.

Nice comeback, horrible decisions in OT. The most concerning thing continues to be the 22M that has one goal between them.

Hopefully Foligno is back next game. Swap Sandin and for Dermot, and hope Campbell has a better start.

 

[The Blueprint]

Just can't give up a 2 on 0. Hope the boys are ready to play a full 60 infront of Habs fans game 6.

Really need the top line to dominate the score sheet at some point.

 

[IrishInOntario]

That's the kind of loss that can change the entire series for a couple reasons.

1. Montreal finally scored and will head into game 6, at home, finally co finest that they can score.

2. Campbell let in some really bad goals. That's the kind of effort that can rattle the confidence of a guy who has struggled with being overly hard hard on himself in the past.

I think this a whole new series. I'm not losing confidence in the team, but Montreal is going to be fired up to play in front of some fans and now they KNOW they can score on Campbell and that Price will be ready.

It's going to be a war now.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Imagine paying playoff chokers like they're cup winners and being surprised when they consistently choke. Dubas' 2 losses away from the biggest humiliation ever?

So sick of fake fans like you

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

This is going 7 games where price will shut us out

 

[Racer88]

Here we go again. This useless core can’t close out a playoff series yet again.
They have been together for 5 years now.
If they choke this away both Shanny and Dubas should be fired and Marner should be traded right away

 

[6ix]

Galchenyuk won us game 4 and set up the goal to get it to OT. I’ll forgive him. Matthews Marner need to wake up.

 

[ruaware41]

I’ll never understand what Galchenyuk was thinking there. That’s the most brain dead pass I’ve seen in a long time.

Kapanen without the wheels

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Oh well, I had nothing better to do on Saturday night anyways. We will win then. It’s an eventuality that the Leafs take this series. Almost won after being down by 3 ffs.

 

[1specter]

I hate this team so much

 

[Mitch Matthews]

Lol, Marner and Matthews have been on vacation the entire series

 

[lovemyleafs]

Forwards should have covered him

It was still a ridiculously stupid pinch.
You don't make such a desperate attempt in OT of an elimination game.

 

[Stephen]

Mitch marner and auston matthews were a f***ing disgrace. They floated ALL f***ing game long. Keefe was worse for rewarding their shit play with ice time. f***ing pathetic.

This is the redemption tour for the core guys and outside of Game 2 Matthews hasn’t really done anything.

 

[mikeyz]

There’s no way they win game 6 with their fans in the building. This is going to 7.

I think the Habs win in 7.

 

[ryno23]

Can the 1st line please be a factor in the playoffs. You get paid the most and haven't done shit.

 

[francis246]

He made a stupid spin pass as the last man back, If that’s what we should expect from him when he’s covering a pinch, then he shouldn’t be in the lineup. This game was almost 100% on Galch

no it’s not 100% on galchenyuk, the goal definitely.

toronto shouldn’t have even been in OT in the first place, that’s on Sandin and Campbell

 

[The Kessel Run]

So was Bogo’s pinch

I didn't see anything wrong with the pinch. You make that pinch 95 times out of 100.
