Beastlander had a wonderful game. He will finish the series with multiple multi-point games for sure. The GF wasn't there to match the xGF for him tonight.

His awareness on that backbreaking Panthers goal was juvenile. There were clearly all three forwards up in the rush and he didn’t even provide an option for a pass. He was just jumping up for the hell of it.
Leafs d need accountability.

Wouldn't cry about it when they drew a penalty with 7 mins left in the game after the refs had let some stuff go in the period, which ended up causing the dagger.
Worth noting that would have cut the penalties to 3-2, and fairly even .. the high stick was pretty clear cut and also quite late in the game.

Going back to the Tampa series, the Leafs play from behind way too much. They aren't going to make heroic comebacks every night. They need to capitalize on their chances and dictate the game or Florida will beat them

Not fully true. His agility to get lost (even though he didn't take puck to net) can be looked as one long series finally ending in Bunting's goal.

It was a good hockey game. Leafs played best 5 on 5 we have seen in a while vs a playoff calibre team. Got goalied. It happens.
Panthers have a high energy system. All their guys are willing to be puck hounds and have noses dirty.
Marner and Willy you can see right away, after 10,15,20 of these battles, start being weary of this type of play and they become worn down. Marner was a non factor.
Keefe has to adjust. Find a way through systems and play or you will lose as time goes on. Dubas’ first few years of wanting soft skill fast players is still haunting us to this day.
Next game boys.

I thought he was a non factor in the outcome actually. I would have made some different choices, may have worked, may have caused more issues. Hes well down the list of people or things to praise or "fix" from tonight.
Dont think so much on absolutes, most things are on a scale

Agreed!
Attention to detail in a playoffs is a MUST! and it starts with the coach
That blocker save he made was insane. What the hell were you watching?

Honestly, not worried at all weirdly. Wasn’t even mad at the game like normal. Think we should be fine.
Never felt this before in a playoff series

Do you really think Nylander knew no one was there?
Zero chance he doesn't take that to the net.
I just can't figure out what the actuall hell he was looking at. Terrible brain cramp or absolute zero feel on that play

Samsonov needs to be better. This was his worst game since Game 1 against Tampa.
Felt like every other time Florida got a decent chance, it was in the net. Meanwhile the Leafs needed 10 Grade A chances to score.

Yeah, Bob made a number of pretty good saves tonight.
Now I don't think he'll keep that up all series - but eye test certainly says he had a great game

I think he is the primary reason. You gotta play your hot hand or your top players. giving mins to kampf and kerfoot while you are down a goal and stickng to the d-pairing that is struggling besides the other points I raised is absolutely on the coach.

Nobody f***ing cares about helping Montreal get a better pick

i am still trying to understand the swap of nylander on the 2nd pp unit. this is entirely on coaching

Above all else it pisses me off that they had it at 2-2 but then gave up the go ahead late in the period
Those late period goals are killers

So win/win for Leaf fans when they blow it

He did in the third, it wasnt a great showing. The fourth line barely played in the third. He also switched up some pairings down the stretch.
Again, not perfect but well down the list for me. Those top players didnt miss their chances because they werent on enough. That fourth line didnt hurt us in their matchups, some others did. He adapted to the Panthers pressure and we looked better as a result on it
