[The Big Swede13]

Such an immature group

Rocky Saginiuk.

Tim Brent?

Praying we still win the series but if we dont.....Dubas is done.

Has to be. Nothing has changed with this team the last 4 years.

 

[rocketman588]

If we lose this and Dubas is fired. Will he be the worst playoff GM in NHL history? The record for consecutive 1st round losses is 5 and Dubas will have 4 in 4 years.

He gets saved from that record because we technically lost in round 0 in 2020

If any leaf was confused about what Shanahan meant by "Killer instinct" they should re-watch this game on tape. Tampa is leading by 5 goals and they are blocking shots and not letting up. They are continuing to press.

Exactly this. Contrast this with our win in game 3, where we decided to stop playing after we got a comfortable lead.

Tampa knows how to close out, we do not.

Brooks Laich

Winner.

 

[htpwn]

Brooks Laich

JVR playing C because there were no other options.

 

[therealkoho]

Agreed.

Dubas needs fired.

Just think only a week ago he was a card carrying Einsteinesque level genius

 

[hockeyes]

I think this tosses out the window any notion that this year's team was different. They've literally learned nothing.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Such an immature group

Just money hungry punks we got as a core and a naive GM. Horrible combo

 

[binop7]

Brooks Laich

Laichy has scored some big playoff goals to be fair

 

[The Management]

Just woke up. 5 down already!? What happened?

Well m'boy, you see, it's a story as old as time, and it all begins with a little hockey club called the Toronto Arenas...

Such an immature group

Soft, Immature, scared.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Look at how different this lineup is from game 1, Keefe is over coaching again.

Tried to fix what wasn't broken and broke it in the process.

Shanny has no clue how to run a team. For a guy that was so rugged to allow Dubas to build such a soft mess as this

 

[binop7]

Jay McClement?

For sure. When you consider cap hit Tavares is gonna be a horrendous contract to move

 

[MSZ]

Laichy has scored some big playoff goals to be fair

With Washington? I don't remember any to be honest.

[hamzarocks]

JVR playing C because there were no other options.

Kessel playing C because there were no options

*think this was a thing in 2011 or 2012

 

[rocketman588]

Espn showed a shot of Matthews after the third

He looked like I do after a week on the beach dude is Tan AF right now

Did Keefe and Dubas just let them go to the beach or something fits with their MO

 

[keonsbitterness]

Just think only a week ago he was a card carrying Einsteinesque level genius

And a week from now......who knows?

Leafs haven't shown up at all. They didn't have the puck the 1st 15 minutes. There's no way they could've caused a penalty on Tampa.

So what's the excuses for games one (Tampa had more PP opportunities than Toronto though the Leafs dominated) and game two?
Overall Tampa has had almost 30 more minutes in powerplay. I mean, I know Tampa is super clean and has dominated all series and we are known as a bunch of goons but come on.
