GDT: Leafs vs Bolts game 4

[MattySnipes]

The good thing is Tampa might play a little safe now with nice cushion. Leafs have to pressure and get 1. They get 1 and then will get a PP. It'll keep rolling. Lots of game left. Just need to stay tight defensively and Campbell has to be airtight.

 

[Torontonian]

Nylander has been painful to watch this entire series.

 

[Aashir]

Kase cant be in your top 6, Holl should not be dressed

Maybe time consider Nick Robertson

Or…..play the 65 point winger Michael bunting there…..

 

[The Kessel Run]

Robertson isn’t the answer but Kase in the top 6 is dumb.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

I don't blame Campbell for this score, i blame how f'ing flat we came out in a playoff series. Now we play? You're telling me we couldn't have at least come out a bit tougher and angrier? So passive at the start, now they're playing.

Yup if we come out with the same energy as Tampa the puck isn't in our zone. Holl gets a big part of the blame as well for the ugly give away.

 

[BackPassChampions]

Why is it so hard to channel game 1 energy consistently.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Getting more into the game at least.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Get one before the end of the period.

 

[6ix]

Keefe has to go if Tampa wins the series. Starting Holl in game 4 is what got Tampa back on track.

 

[Kazparov]

Wow. Feels bad man

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Lots of time. Tampa almost mounted a comeback and changed momentum last game when they were down 3-0. There’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to do the same

There's no reason we shouldn't be able to do the same

Yes there is. And you know precisely what that f***ing reason is.

 

[Matthews4Calder]

Nylander just coasting

I hate watching him. Pathetic effort at times. Guy needs to go said it before.

 

[All Mod Cons]

So Leafs got their split?

The way it is going Tampa is going to win game 8.

Do you have any confidence that the Leafs can close out a series? In your heart of hearts.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

yes keefe more engvall , keep it up. lets lose 20-0

 

[PromisedLand]

Our defense tonight seems to be just a suggestion

It is all about momentum. Keefe should have known that tampa will press hard. And what does he do?

He not only puts Holl in the line up but also starts him; Holl completely ruins the first shift; give all the momentum to tampa.

Blame Keefe for forcing Holl in the line up and playing him the first shift of the game. An absolutely completely MORONIC coaching decision

 

[saffronleaf]

Kase cant be in your top 6, Holl should not be dressed

Maybe time consider Nick Robertson

Robertson needs a few more years with the Marlies

 

[therealkoho]

Nylander just coasting

Straight up for Schiefle?

 

[LeafSteel]

Who on Earth could have possibly predicted Tampa would come out like gangbusters to avoid going down 3-1 and back to Toronto?

Who could possibly predict they’d throw everything at us to start? Fortunately we started our ace Justin Hollsy to help us weather the storm and keep us in it.

Great job Keefer!

 

[howlman]

Holl and “start the game” is the first problem.

Keefe needs to wake up and get Lilly in there next game

 

[MSZ]

This is the 6th series they played and these guys still don't know how to start a playoff game on time. Enough is enough already.

 

[fahad203]

Few decent shifts in a row... Lets keep that going. Win your shift and get off. Baby steps here

Just get one goal. Instill some doubt and build some confidence

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Hello? Is anyone there?

 

[Stephen]

Trash effort tonight. Good thing we have the captain to lead the way.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Yes there is. And you know precisely what that f***ing reason is.

What?

 

[Smif]

The core four has been a major disappointment. Look at other teams' top guys, they all have extra gears and preform at an extremely high level.

They just announced that Marner was the keading scorer in the series...My comment was for just this first period. I want to see the top line play more and against any line TB puts out there.
