GDT: Leafs vs Bolts game 4

[Willchel Marlynder]

We need Nylander and Tavares to kick in 8f we have a hope of winning this series and they are showing no signs of life

Tavares doesn't have a second gear. Nylander's can only shift gears if one of JT/Marner/Matthews are out.

 

[MarnerElite]

Leafs need to win the final 30 minutes even if they lose the game. long term it's important

Sure but i don't think it'll mean much if it's the same lines. They need Simmonds in, they need Ljiljegren and heck even Sandin if he's ready. Play with more speed and skill like Tampa(but cautious, no 2 on 1's allowed, etc)...They also need to go back to Nylander playing with more speedy players and not JT who kills any momentum.

i gained like 5 pounds already since puck drop. anyone else eating themselves away due to misery

 

[CelticDruid]

Mikheyev needs to lay a hit instead of rubbing bums with the TB players

 

[saffronleaf]

I haven’t had this much fun since I had a toenail removed.

breakups have been more pleasant

 

[57 Years No Cup]

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

I said this before and I was accused by the Dubas Defense Crew of wanting the team to lose.

 

[TheDoldrums]

if Cirelli misses time thats a huge loss

 

[MSZ]

Maybe if we were going to lose, it could be in a non embarrassing fashion?

What happened to that rookie filled 2017 team vs Washington that only lost close games?

Getting your shit kicked in ain’t a good feeling

And that 2017 series was actually fun. The team left everything they got against the President Trophy winner.

Tavares doesn't have a second gear. Nylander's can only shift gears if one of JT/Marner/Matthews are out.

Good news then. All of JT/Marner/Matthews are "out" at the moment.

/s.

 

[Carltons Cup]

Tavares has no second gear.

Ummm he has no first gear

 

[MarMarSab3]

Holl Spezza Kase out please

 

[kevsh]

If you want to have faith that this is the year they break through, that this team is different, etc. then everything they've done tonight suggests the exact opposite.

They basically checked every box of teams past: Defensive breakdowns, bad penalties, lack of urgency, shaky goaltending, costly turnovers, forwards not supporting pinching d-men.

Of course they can come back and win this series, but they are going to have to overcome whatever it is they have lacked and whatever paralyzes them in clutch moments for the past 5+ years very, very quickly.

 

[MC41]

A Butterfly slide, magic!

 

[MattySnipes]

What's with all the Leafs hate they were up 2-1 series. Campbell stole a big win last game. Leafs slapped them in game 1 and now all this "championship team" nonsense comes out?

It's one game. Wipe it and come better Tuesday.

That series feels like a lifetime ago. That team had heart for days as much as I dislike Babcock

 

[DarkKnight]

Holl is AWFUL on the boards.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Why not try radical changes for the remainder ?
Why is JT still with WN ??

 

[leafsfan5]

Tonight we saw q team down by a game playing desperate.
They're beatable that's why they were behind coming into this game.

We haven't won a damn thing and just had the most humiliating loss in franchise history a year ago

Where is our desperation? Why the f*** are the back to back cup champs the hungry ones?

 

[mikeyz]

Tavares just got dummied off the puck like nobody's business.

 

[Cleetus]

you know this is bad when the leafs cant even get a scoring chance down 5 pucks

 

[The Management]

I'm going with booze, just to see whether heart disease or liver disease gets me first. Will probably be a tighter match up than this hockey game.

 

[SoVi3t]

Every time I look up, the puck is in our end and we're on the defensive. Campbell wanted to stay in the net so his team could not try, some more?

 

[Dave92]

Don't worry our GM who knows nothing but failure and embarrassment when it comes to NHL playoffs has faith the the core that's produced nothing but failure and embarrassment in the NHL playoffs.

 

[Mickey Marner]

If you're going to lose like this you could at least let the opponent know that they were in a game.

 

[binop7]

Ummm he has no first gear

He's in neutral bro
