Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 7-3

[IPS]

Justin Holl was on the ice for 6 goals against lol

One of the best shutdown D in the league.

 

[Kelly]

Well, next game can't be worse.... Right?

 

[DraftSchmaft]

sucked when the refs sucked, sucked when the refs didn't suck. overall sucked

 

[notbias]

This game is on Sheldon Keefe. And no you can't change my mind. It was absolutely bad coaching, line up decisions. Can't adjust, can't coach on the fly and can't run his bench efficiently even with last change. Cooper schooled Keefe right from the get go when Keefe was trying to play catch up and cooper already caught him off guard. Meanwhile Holl was an absolute PYLON when Tampa scored their first goal (Holl was a pylon the entire game btw).

Bottom Line: Keefe was TERRIBLE!!!! I can write an essay on how bad Keefe is. Since picture is worth a thousand words I'd do that instead of writing a novel

never the players, always the coach.

Forget that this kind of game has happened since before him, it was all his fault.

I was excited all day for nothing

 

[BertCorbeau]

My bar was low for this team in the post-season but even that still left me disappointed.

I was actually hoping a watchable game .. poor first period effort, combined with a valiant comeback effort in the second, only to be poorly reffed, and taking yourself out of the game.

Also Keefe doesn't seem to know what to do with this lineup anymore .. he hasn't been able to effectively grow as a coach in the NHL and can't get this team over the mental hump.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Keefe thought it was a good idea to run a third line that hasn't played together for any significant time.

Imagine if he inserts Knies just to play with Kerfoot and Acciari

 

[sxvnert]

Not even that mad. They are what they are

"I believe in this core!"

 

[6ix]

GO LEAFS GO

Nylander yet again the only one of the “core” to show some life

 

[Metroid]

I'll take a loss first game if it means the reverse of last year.

Bunting probably gets suspended.. Knies in... Let's take the next 4 and givr

 

[Mad hatter]

They didn’t deserve to win tonight. Can’t start playing 10 minutes after the game starts and except good results

 

[Eternal Leaf]

That was just plain bad.

Keefe needs to get his coaching in order. Nonsensical decisions including putting the 4th line on right after a goal. That said it all about how the night would go.

Justin Holl was on the ice for 6 goals against lol

This coach needs to be fired because of this decision alone. Liljegren is the much better player, I don't care what anyone says. This is also why sandin probably asked to be traded. He knew less talented players would play ahead.

[saffronleaf]

If Keefe had any balls, which he most certainly does not, he would bench the blood sucking vampires Matthews and Marner.

 

[bax]

Justin Holl was on the ice for 6 goals against lol

Critical player.

 

[fahad203]

So where's the toughness and grittiness we brought?

Why didn't we send a message or get in their head?
Why didn't we go after Sargecheyv knowing two other Defencemen are out?

 

[keonsbitterness]

All is not lost. Canada lost to Russia 7-3 in the first 72 Summit game.

Yeah, that's all I got.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Handshakes.

Ouch

 

[Gabriel426]

Just needs to win 4 games.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Throw this one away
Not good
Evil dead

 

[Leaf4Life]

Justin Holl was on the ice for 6 goals against lol

Lmao... Holl is almost as braindead as Keefe

 

[rocketman588]

Guess we know why Dubas has been on a full out media blitz for a new contract.

They came out and out skated us and blasted us on cycles behind the net.

That's just desire I assume we'll win next game because we don't often do this twice in a row but this group obviously doesn't handle pressure well and there will be all the pressure in the world on them

 

[Budz22]

Leafs in 6. Let’s go.

 

[Byron Bitz]

We’re not gonna win game 7 so we need to win 4 of the next 5 games
