The only reason people are so scared is because Tampa is fresh off of two cups. We have been the better team this season and can beat them if we bring it.

Posts like 1000 times in the post game threads coming off bad losses yet barely shows up in this one..
really Says it all
I thought we played a very lazy, low energy game, but hey, 2 points! Will certainly take it. That we can put in about 10 mins of legit effort, and still beat a solid team like the Caps, is somewhat impressive in its own way.
Let’s get the win, and 60 for Matthews, against the Wings. Then we can happily shut it down, rest everyone important against the Bruins.

Leafs give up 3-1 lead, they’re shit.
Leafs go down 3-1, they’re shit.
Leafs comeback from down 3-1. They should have lost, they’re shit.
Go cheer for the Habs, GO LEAFS GO!

Good character win but a pretty shitty game overall.
They’re playoff hardened and experienced. They would have got up for the playoffs regardless of how they finished the regular season
Surely that is evenly countered by the fans who believe every result was the exact result we wanted? It's like a 50/50 split.
We had fans trying to convince everyone that while down 3-1, the Leafs players and management didn't care whether or not they got home ice advantage in the 1st round against the back to back Cup Champs.

Thanks, I started watching 30 seconds before they scored the 2 goals to make it 3-1. You fixed my jinx.

I yell doom and gloom because I see the same shit every single season. They put together their probably second and third worst efforts of the season in 2 out of the last 3 games. There is no 3 on 3 OT in the playoffs, no meaningless skills competition to play for a victory.
They are a tired team, respectful of that in mind. That doesn't mean they have to play without any care, drive, passion, heart or determination at all. If you play with that mindset this close to the playoffs, when the games, "that matter" are this close, then who is to say they won't be the same in a short week and some change?
I don't apologize for talking shit in the GDT because I called it like I saw it. A piss poor effort. Through 45 minutes, Matthews, Marner and Nylander had one shot on goal combined.
Spezza did tonight what he did in the post-season last year, put the team on his shoulders in the third round and delivered them 2 points along with a few other players such as Mikheyev.
Our third stringer goaltender who clearly isn't ready for the NHL put in more of an effort than 90% of the rest of the team. Without that effort, Spezza playing like a beast, this would've been 2 more points lost.
Then I hear the same shit, "Home ice doesn't matter". Yeah, that's loser's mentality that say shit like that. Florida, Tampa Bay, Boston, Carolina and other teams top in the NHL are playing fantastic hockey. No excuse to mail it in this close to the playoffs, it's a loser mentality excuse to say, "Oh, they don't care, games don't matter". That's bullshit,
I've been saying it for a few months now, my excitement for the playoffs disappeared when team save percentage was 31st for over 4 months. Campbell will do okay, but if he gets hurt or the rest of the team doesn't pick it up, it won't matter how many regular season goals Matthews, Marner and Nylander had.
I'll kick back the pessimistic outlook when they show up in the playoffs, not before.

I certainly hope so, Tampa since the leaf game have scored 8, 6, and 8 goals for 3 dominant wins in 4 nights…so excited to play them in rd 1
Depending how long he’s followed the team I completely understand whatever state his mental health is in
