GDT: Leafs vs Bolts game 4

[MSZ]

Miss Pat Quinn. He would've told the boys to take few icing to kill the momentum the first 10 mins

Pat Quinn's teams have won 7 playoff rounds.

Seven! Think about that for a second.

"Guys, give them the old loop-di-loop."

Anybody being a fan of this team and are "positive" needs professional help. I honestly 100% f***ing believe that. I honestly hope those people find a good therapist.

But…but..but 60 goals

 

[therealkoho]

… Holl’s giveaway to start the game?

4 guys standing around watching and the goalie not tracking the puck which was very stoppage, but wasnt

 

[Sypher04]

It's honestly kinda crazy that the only shot we really had was Tampa sleep walking

The second they decide they want it we're no match lmao

That’s not true but you go with it

 

[Throw More Waffles]

The 1st goal is his fault alone, the other 2 are the team effort.

On our first 5 shots, some of them were "team efforts". Vasy still saved those shots.

 

[Dave92]

Campbell back down to a .901 on the series and Keefe has his team no show a pivot game again. CBJ games 4,5 Mtl games 5,6,7 and TB game 4.

Montreal game 4 is the only game on the back half of a series Keefe hasn't had his team coming out looking like garbage and going down by multiple goals.

Performing well some of the time isn't good enough.

 

[Azazel]

My gut already knows this game is over believe me

That could be just bad tacos, 4 goals isn't impossible

 

[Shooter2x]

yes bieksa tell them! wtf was keefe thinking to begin the game?

 

[CelticDruid]

Our PP is so slow

 

[Alamo Leafer]

We can still do this. This team can score.
40 mins is plenty of time

problem is we are playing an experienced 2 time champions who can also score, and outplay us with their superior work ethics

 

[htpwn]

I know people are hesitant to criticize Matthews, for good reason, but his last four periods have been... rough.

 

[93gilmour93]

Go out there and score the next goal and let’s see if that swings momentum. If there’s one thing we all know it’s that this team can score in bunches. Terrible start but not over….

 

[MC41]

The 1st goal is his fault alone, the other 2 are the team effort.

Maybe dont flop on your belly when Maroon is skating past you is a nice option. Of course there are other people to blame and yes Campbell was great in the final 20 Minutes on Friday, but today he sucks, again.

And Soup gets his first good Save when a 0:3 is on the board. Vasi does fancy things like save a deflected shot.

 

[CelticDruid]

yes bieksa tell them! wtf was keefe thinking to begin the game?

Missed that part?

 

[Lightsol]

we got shit Jack Campbell tonight

Are you kidding? One Justin Holl giveaway special, one Boston Bruin style miraculous bounce goal, and one Maroon cherrypicking goal and it's Campbell's fault?

 

[3blizzard4]

Spot cup champs a three goal lead in the first? Checks

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

The players at the start of the game should’ve been the most responsible defensively. That isn’t Holl, who’s prone to Gardiner-esque brain farts. I keep harping on this but my God it’s such a monumental awful decision that has now spun into an 0-3 goal deficit.

 

[Leafidelity]

yes bieksa tell them! wtf was keefe thinking to begin the game?

Same reason Bunting is on line 4, same reason Liljegren is in the pressbox, Tavares and Nylander are back together, same reason Spezza is in over both Simmonds and Clifford

Keefe thinks hes the smartest person in the rink

 

[Aashir]

It's honestly kinda crazy that the only shot we really had was Tampa sleep walking

The second they decide they want it we're no match lmao

I don’t think this is the problem

It’s the fact that tampa showed up and we didn’t…if we were losing 3-0 whilst giving it all. That would suck, but at least we left it all there…

We have Marner trying to do everything, Matthews pulling a Ben Simmonds with the puck, and the other two performing magic tricks

Doesn’t help that Campbell can’t stop or track a beachball

 

[saffronleaf]

yea matthews doesn't look right

jt predictably useless

 

[Shooter2x]

Missed that part?

He's basically saying our top line should have been out for the start of the game and even double shifted in that first 5 minutes to get them hot and going from the get go.

I agree with him. Matthews and Marner take over early and it's rare we lose.

 

[Bellefour20]

Elliot with another dish cloth banger suit

 

[DarkKnight]

The dreaded 3-0 lead, expect a big push this period.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Are you kidding? One Justin Holl giveaway special, one Boston Bruin style miraculous bounce goal, and one Maroon cherrypicking goal and it's Campbell's fault?

3 goals on the first 6 shots says it all
