Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose. Thornton on the first PP unit. Weak. Nice work keefe. Do better.

[lovemyleafs]

Does anyone remember Riley Nash even playing tonight? like why the f*** was Keefe treating like a preseason game and playing bums for the first time. guys that have zero chemistry with the team.

thornton is as washed up as it gets.

pandemic marner was awful tonight

only bright spots were nylander, sandin, and cambell. rest of the team was hot garbage.

 

[michi510]

They folded again when faced with adversity.

A team full of heart would have won it for their injured captain.

Instead it’s all over again.

I don’t know why we subject this to ourselves every year.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

It's one game boys and girls.

We win this series. 100%

Don't believe me just quote this.

If I'm right you never post again, if I'm wrong I'll never post again.

 

[TimeZone]

Welp, we just lost to the worst team in the playoffs. (They wouldn't have made it under normal circumstances)

What does that make us?

 

[Menzinger]

That one sucked especially with the uncertainty over Tavares.

I still have little doubt the Leafs can end this series sooner than later (the Habs have zero offensive power), but the coaches really have to get that pp rolling.

Nylander needs to be on the 1st unit. It's okay to bump Thornton ect (at least off the pp)

 

[TMLegend]

Nylander and Matthews were good, thought the defense played well outside of Sandin. Campbell was steady. The rest were garbage.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Sad: Tavares, power play, Marner, lots of other crap.

fine: nylander

 

[MoreMogilny]

Thornton stinks. I’ve said it a dozen times but Keefe continuing to stick with veterans could be our downfall. Especially putting them in key positions.

 

[TheKule]

Not happy with some of of the comments Habs and Isles fans have been making about Tavares. Very very disgusting.

 

[stewpac]

I’m a 37 year old leafs fan, literally nothing ever changes. One embarrassment to the next. Different personnel same results

 

[socko]

Campbell was good. That's about all I got. Unfortunately, Price was a little better.

 

[Aashir]

Keefe getting outcoaches by an interim coach lol.
Thornton makes mistake that leads to 1st goal, play him 1st PP and he makes second mistake that leads to GWG, Thornton is f***ing washed

 

[LaPlante94]

Simmonds and Joe not bringing much to the table.

Insert more talent into the lineup.

Yeah cause that's the problem

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Pretty even game that they lost sadly.
Shouldn’t have changed the lineup from the regular season. Too risky to gamble last minute with chemistry. Loss is on Keefe like last year.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I honestly don't think you could draw up a more nightmare scenario for a first game of this series. Campbell was really good atleast.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Nothing seems to have changed. Lose a player to injury/suspension, get outgoalied, no one can score, PP goes cold. It looks exactly the same each year.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Murphy's law tonight.

Tavares is done indefinitely.

Thornton isn't a top-12 forward on this team even without Tavares.

Powerplay is still shit.

Brutal coaching from Keefe.

 

[LeafSteel]

 

[IrishInOntario]

kick rocks *****

You know it's true. There was nothing different from that performance than the performance in against Columbus last year. Montreal basically used the same game plan and, again, Toronto had no answer.

Every other high powered scoring team continues to pile up points in the playoffs and Toronto just chokes. Florida scoring at will on Vasy (the best goalie in the world) and Toronto can't buy a goal.

 

[Cleetus]

Predictable loss. Load up on grit and this is what happens. The grit fans have a lot of explaining to do.

they have nothing to explain. wtf its not the fans that built this team, is their something wrong with you or do you not understand how hockey teams are built? fans build the team what a horrible take how can anyone take anything you post seriously with takes like this....

 

[fahad203]

Thornton out.

Engvall, Brooks in.

But SImmonds in ? Mikaheyev in ?

Those guys both sucked. At least Joe will make a pass here and there.
Joe is not the problem, it's his usage. that's on the coach


Simmonds is done

 

[nabob]

Tough game to play after losing your captain after such a brutal and scary play.

 

[Legendary]

This deja vu is getting really boring....

 

[Optimist]

Meh... We're still gonna win this series.

 

[LeafGrief]

Hard to imagine how that could have been more of a nightmare. Gave the Habs some belief. Gave Price some confidence. Our powerplay still sucks. And worst of all, we lost our Captain to a devastating injury.

It's a long series. But we need it to be a long series at this point, because there is no way we could have started it any worse.

 

[lovemyleafs]

Raptors lost game 1 of round 1 the year they won the championship.
I still believe in this squad but Keefe needs to smarten up.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Thornton out.

Engvall, Brooks in.

Brooks was great down the stretch. No idea why he wasn't playing tonight

 

[Sypher04]

• Lose board battles
• Lose 50-50 puck battles
• Get out hustled
• Choke when center ice gets clogged
• Cannot play against tight checking

Seen this picture before.

Leafs lose series against the habs FIRE DUBAS

Oh cool, so you didn't actually watch the game at all. Thanks for making it easy to ignore your posts in this thread from here on
