GDT: Leafs vs Bolts game 4

[Torontonian]

Toronto getting smashed for 40 mins. Just regroup and get ready for game 5, and someone call out Nylander and Tavares for poor play.

 

[Nineteen67]

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

They have a couple of guys that won’t compete. One of things I feared was Tampa would intimidate those guys and take them right out of the series.

 

[keonsbitterness]

1st the Jays lose, then my hockey team craps the bed & have to watch the Bet bs intermission & stupid political ads, now the wife reminded me it's my turn to do the litter box, what's next fcol?!

Make me a sandwich?

 

[frizzer1]

It won't be moved.

1) No one wants a washed up JT even if the contract wasn't an abomination
2) No one will take the entire amount and the retention will be back breaking
3) He's not going to waive his NTC

Robidas Island is the only hope now.

If they could convince him to waive they would have to give up picks or prospects to get someone with cap space to take him.
And I said this months ago.

 

[BertCorbeau]

What's frustrating is that the Leafs learning nothing after hammering Tampa in game 1 and getting hammered by them in game 2.

Beat them in game 3 and they should have been ready for Tampa to come back in game 4 ...

It's why the Leafs aren't going to win this series and the problem with this group. They just don't have it mentally.

 

[saffronleaf]

craig simpson looks like he's about to cum any minute

 

[Leaffan1991]

That play tells me he’s not in the core moving forward.

Good riddance, I'm sure we can get something good for him

 

[LastOne2100]

Yeah I don't see him retiring either. Seems to have a lot of pride about playing. He's gonna be a part of the new Muskoka 5

Just gotta hope the lure of a back office consulting position, instead of watching his career end being terrible and hated, is enough of a sway to have him happy to go to Robidas Island.

 

[PromisedLand]

Cue the comeback….okay I tried.

If the Leafs come back to win this game I am gonna go outside; run naked with a blow horn yelling Holl is the King!

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

keefe should have been fired after the montreal series. anyone could coach this team to the playoffs. playoff games are different beast altogether.

has one of the best D of the series benched to go along with first period weird line rotations. Sabotage

 

[Racer88]

I don’t want to hear about Tampa being this great team with playoff pedigree. This is ALL on us. Keefe bonehead decision to start Holl. Lack of intensity by 3 of our big 4. Only Marner playing with heart. Campbell couldn’t make a save. Penalty disparity. Complete NO SHOW.

This is deeper then Keefe, this goes all the way up thru Dubas for basically considering goal tending an after though and to Shanny for giving someone with zero NHL experience the reigns

 

[hamzarocks]

I think overall consensus on the leads winning this series now is probably at 35% chance

People betting against the leafs, expecting them to choke and fold. Could be just what is needed to ignite a 2018 Capital like run

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

Go back to bed

I would if I could. Don't like Monday mornings but unfortunately I have to report to work in about 2 hours.

 

[Apotheosis]

If the Leafs come back to win this game, I will walk outside naked and scream idc. That's how badly they've played

 

[binop7]

Should have just let San Jose pay him 12M

 

[LastOne2100]

If they could convince him to waive they would have to give up picks or prospects to get someone with cap space to take him.
And I said this months ago.

Not sure we can afford to give up the number of draft picks it would take, or that there's enough cap space left in the league for anyone to waste $11M of it.

 

[Nineteen67]

This is a game changer…

 

[All Mod Cons]

It's a huge potential injury. I don't know why more aren't talking about.

He's by far their best defensive player

Tampa only have to shut down the Kampf line and maybe Marner.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Feels like the typical series.
Win, no response. Win. No response.
Gm5 will be OT
Gm6 (depending on who wins 5) easy Win
Gm7 meltdown

KMN

 

[Carltons Cup]

Willie should be stapled to the bench this period.

No need for spineless cowards

 

[Smif]

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

This 100%. Kampf getting the opening faceoff, why? Cooper countered with his 3rd line so what's the point, Start the big boys like youre supposed to. Kampf now with more TOI than Marner is a complete joke if you're here to win.

 

[saffronleaf]

hope they keep it under 10 goals

 

[Havoc]

Hot take: We tie this game and win it in double OT.

Don't @ me

 

[The Apologist]

Who is the 90 point centre?

Not Tyler Bozak. Although to be fair I guess Tavares is closer to an 80pt C.

 

[DarkKnight]

Tomorrow is always another day.
