I think people's eyes are just fooling them. Was he at his best? No, not even close. But he was a positive player in every metric and was in on all 3 goals. Not to mention he played over 23 minutes including almost 5 on the PK. He looked off for sure, but he was his usual effective self and I think we'd be much happier with that performance if Sammy didn't let in 7.

does this include the play where marner made a terrible giveaway that directly led to a key goal against but where he managed to scurry off the ice like a rat quickly enough to avoid the terrible play adversely affecting his stats?
 
If I was keefe, for next game I’d put knies in and bunting out.

Liljegren in and holl out(he was disastrous tonight, he was on the ice for 6 Tampa goals)

Hope the leafs regroup and win game 2 to even the series

Go Leafs Go
 
If I asked you to guess the forward who had most 5v5 scoring chances, even a Nylander hater would probably guess that the answer is Nylander.

It's time to give him and Matthews the keys to the team once playoffs roll around. Marner is not a top 2 guy at this point of the season.
Don't mind Marner with Matthews, but they have to get Willy away from JT!
 
I've been cheering for this team my whole life, I want to rip my eyes out.
17 years on this Board bud, yet to celebrate a playoff win here. Old enough to get back in to the Gilmour years so I have seen it, but boy it has been a long time since Tucker was terrorizing the Sens. Hoping to see a Cup with my Dad, who has actually seen It before, before its too late honestly.

Go Leafs Go right?

Doesn't matter what line you put JT on, he has to be with two defensive studs because Keefe has no clue how to match lines. I'm not really sure what he does now that I think about it
Do we have "two defensive studs"?
 
Bring back Holland

When Mats Sundin was captain people would be calling him out if the team lost in OT. When are people gonna start calling out this teams captain, for a shitty performance like this. Instead we call out our best player in this year's game one. LAUGH OUT VERY LOUD.....
 
Can't deny that. I thought it was actually a game at 3-2 then they call Kampf for basically nothing.
It's the same old story, Game Management.... Let we tell you about it, you get 2 PP's execute and then you automatically get a call against you. It's the worst thing in sports and it seems hockey is the number 1, especially in the playoffs.

We deserved to lose but my lord, that was so predictable after we made it 3-2.

did Coach (aka @Nhlpowerweek) get himself banned again?

god forbid we have a little fun around here... I know... some people don't like him, but no one can question his passion for the leafs. it's a shame.


as far as the game goes. are we allergic to supporting our goalies on the ice or what? Sammy let in a couple stinkers but for the most part he was left out to dry. Woll's first moments in the playoffs and we make him face a breakaway to start. goal. wtf.

I'm at the point where I hope we make the game boring, sit back, support our g... and I bet our game breakers will come through

Gotta agree, we were getting the next call against after 2 straight PP goals to be back in the game. Gotta kill it, gotta build that in, you know it is happening. TB would have had to behead someone to get the next penally. And it is what it is, I'd expect the same the Leafs way and probably get it.
 
The way this team plays has me longing for grabovski and Kessel era leafs. Make the pain stop
This, and I'm dead serious.

I've probably said it before, but I've never been this embarrassed as a fan. Started watching hockey in 2002. The JFJ years? At least they had Sundin. The Burke years? At least they played hard. But this team? It's a bunch of losers that won't win shit. 0 effort. 0 killer instinct. The worst kind of team. The coach has 0 prior experience and it shows. And the GM reminds me far too much of a politician, and I mean that in the worst way possible
 
The good news is we seem to have injured a few if their players. The bad news is that it didn't seem to help.

Maybe it's bad enough that Keefe will play Jarnkrok on line one, Knies on line two, and Tavares on line three.

Can't say I blame Sammy much.

Reffing wasn't great, but it wasn't bad, but boy did we take some dumb penalties, including the challenge - I don't think I've ever seen them change a goal because of a challenge after they have already reviewed it.

Nylander easily our best player. ROR, Matthews, and McCabe were good. Marner and Lafferty had good spots.

Good post, m totally agree my question is why does it have to be this way. A penalty should be a penalty game script or not?

let’s be honest, you guys were never going to sweep Tampa. A loss is a loss. It’s going game seven anyways.

I predict a very strong response from this group next game.
 
First time watching a Leafs playoff game without knots in my stomach. Down 1-0 or 3-0 I still felt nothing, Nylander scoring the 3-2 couldn't even fist pump, watching it collapse to 6-2 not even a shake of the head.

This team has made me not even care anymore. I hoped O'Reilly would drag this team thru the 1st round and he still might, but the level of suck and choke-artistry though-out the roster is simply on another level.
Honestly have watched most game since 1988 (I was five) and I share your sentiment. After last year, I weirdly don't feel the same. I have always worn my leafs emotions on my sleeve.. this year I'm just waiting for something to get me going. I will say this though GLG!!!
