GDT: Leafs vs Bolts game 4

[Metalwood]

Dubas should have scooped Perry and dumped Simmons last offseason. Guy has Leafs number

 

[Maplebeasts]

It won't matter if Keefe dresses a bad D core again

Even though we won last game he saw how the D couldn't break the puck out and decided he wanted more of that. It's not like Holl was any good either, he was ROUGH.

 

[Stephen]

It's a 5-0 game and you've been called for i straight mins in penalties over the last 2-3 min of gamelan. Break spines infront

Nah, let's just played shell shocked and roll out the same, well rehearsed lines at the presser.

 

[MC41]

A normal Butterfly Slide is impossible...

 

[KaberLeaf]

We are going,to witness history, a comeback from down 5-0

While I’d love to share your optimism, what are you seeing that gives you hope?

 

[DarkKnight]

I’m not throwing him under the bus, but I didn’t like Keefe pre game at all today. He said some good things but overall it felt like “mission accomplished” on the road and it did worry me.

 

[keonsbitterness]

So..........how about that weather?

 

[dubplatepressure]

i get why people are mad, I had the same reaction after game 2 and guess what happened? they won game 3. Take a deep breath and remember it's 2-2 right now and 2 of the final 3 games are in Toronto. This isn't a soft team they're facing and this is basically the Easts finals in round 1 (based off how Floridas looked). If/When Leafs get past this, it will be f***ing amazing.

and the realist in me says we didn't learn a damn thing from that game 2 blowout, so it's bound to repeat itself regularly.

 

[Aashir]

This is a last chance for some people on the team

I think they'll be motivated and fight back. Won't go down fighting.

Leafs need to regroup and come out hot at home.

91 and 88 need to be sent a message. Both have been horrible. No excuses for them

88 should be dealt no matter what

He should pack his bags after this game

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Pretty much.
Hey Sheldon, is Liljegren's inexperience costing us today?

Yupp. I've liked Sheldon a lot as a coach for this team, but his reluctancy to use his young d-men correctly has been extremely annoying.

 

[MSZ]

You say this but they have absolutely no push back whatsoever. Wouldn't surprise me if Tampa wins the next 2 after this. Leafs have a more proven track record of being spineless and not working hard when it matters.

That poster never showed up after the game 7 loss last year.

Can't stand these blowhards.

 

[Al14]

Keefe should be fired before game 5, and ideally before the 3rd period.

And so should Shanahan and his wonder boy GM !!!

 

[authentic]

Streaks are meant to be broken.

Just not by Toronto lol

Love, love, love your optimism. I just can't do it after watching this year in, year out. I swear they've just sewn some different names on the back.

 

[BigBlu]

Every great center in the history of the league has played PK, about time they get him PKing and get him some shorties

And let him know wins require a little more blood and sweat.

Best of 3 with home ice advantage.

 

[IPS]

So are we plugging Simmonds and Clifford back in or are we still happy having the most dog shit soft roster in the playoffs..

 

[wingman75]

I would not be surprised if we don't win another game in this series.

This is woefully pathetic.

So disappointed. But of course, no team in history can disappoint it's fanbase more than the Leafs. Add another one to the tally board.

 

[Carltons Cup]

It all started with Holl's giveaway and its been a big snowball after that.

But hey, Holl is a gud pro.

Keefe you moron

 

[The Kessel Run]

I disagree that there is no coach capable of getting more out of this roster in a playoff series. But yea coaching is far from teh only problem.

I was referring more to tonight. I’m not a huge fan of all Keefe a decisions, but this is a catastrophic effort from the players.

 

[centipede2233]

The bright side of another first round loss is it’s a step closer of shanahan and dubas seeing the door

 

[joeyjojojrshabadoo]

This team is sickening. In all of the circumstances you don't even show up?.... Like ... Tampa isn't setting the world on fire right now. Leafs just decided they don't wanna play today. Disgusting

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Ah yes back up time. This will turn the tide.

 

[Stephen]

Dubas should have scooped Perry and dumped Simmons last offseason. Guy has Leafs number

I watched the Dallas Tampa series on my laptop and though, hmm, Corey Perry could be a nice veteran add after that CBJ debacle. The Leafs were on the same wavelength but somehow went for Joe Thornton and Wayne Simmonds. I don't get it.

 

[Dreakmur]

I like that Keefe had a discussion with Campbell there.
