One team are cup champs and know what it takes to win. The other is INFAMOUS league wide (WORLD wide... UNIVERSE wide) for being weak mentally and choking.What?
Lots of guys out there watching Holl watching the other guys looking on in disbelief at Soup watching that puck go by himIt 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
Detroit needs lidstromWho 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!
Liljegren may not have had the best first two games, but he certainly didn’t make a mistake like Holl did.
Yup.I got bashed for daring to suggest the Leafs showed mental fragility last game with the way they played that second half of it.
This mental fragility carried straight over into tonight.
The guy just put up nearly 50 apples while winning the most puck battles, what do you mean he does nothing but shoot?It's actually fairly simple to get Nylander to do much better....Get him away from Tavares. JT has a nice shot but that's about it..He can't skate and mostly just ruins plays(not much of a playmaker).
Damnit. I never understand these new NHL rules.If we don’t score here it’s over
I have been a JT supporter since he signed here. Even I think he has been hugely underperforming.Man, how far some of the better posters on here have fallen.
While he's yet to really get going in this series he did just fine to end the season.
His 7m dollar winger is tooOur captain is an 11m waste of money
You really hate yourself. Amazing.One team are cup champs and know what it takes to win. The other is INFAMOUS league wide (WORLD wide... UNIVERSE wide) for being weak mentally and choking.
Yup, honestly JT is just too slow to play with a quick transition player like Nylander who likes to create off the rushhis addiction to keeping jt & nylander together
