Let’s all be serious. We have all watched this team this year and past years and embarrassment over and over.

The only chance we have in playoffs is very very simple. We must literally play man on man coverage. Don’t go for goals and play massive protect the house. Every shift every second. Everyone play man on man. Don’t worry about the puck. And with our goal scoring ability we wait patient for the odd turn over and look to score.

We will fail in same old fashion going head to head. All we must do is play back protect the house and don’t worry about goals. Our problem is these ridiculous blow outs and quick goals. Playoffs bring tight play. If we can get our coach on board and players on board. Just play protect the house and every man cover a man. This is the only way we stand a chance.
 
I get the negativity and pessimism is just psychic protection against pain.

But it's still tiresome. As fans of the team, let's lose the "woe-is-me" whinging. It's boring. They're underdogs and underachievers? OK, let's cheer them on anyway!

I suspect if he's scratched he's traded at the draft.

I hope he locks in his spot

We need some form of puck moving and ability to score after Rielly. Him and Edmundson on the bottom pair was pretty solid when they were healthy.

It's basically between Benoit and Brodie for the last spot for me. I fully expect Brodie to play. After game 1, you re-adjust if you need.

I don’t think the Leafs were trying to “win” the last two games as much as they were trying to get Matthews a goal. They would have taken the win vs Florida but were not willing to really fight for it.

Florida gets a banner. A division title. That’s a big deal for a non traditional market like Florida. Two years ago there was rumblings Florida was in trouble financially.

I’ll say this, in 24 hours ticket prices in Florida have tanked by $100 a seat, but the NHL gets its original six match up and it gets a battle of Florida. Just means we will be going to the sunshine state for round two.


Hopefully this game gets #16 back on his own line and Domi spots back in.

The board is generally miserable as you can see.

Fully agree. The let's lose crowd should get lost. I don't think we'll win, but I sure as hell hope we do, and will be cheering for us to!

The lack of certainty with our lines and defence pairings is problematic but at the same time we have very strong depth, so there's many options.

Keefe could find the correct lineup very early or this could be a series where our lineup looks quite different game to game.

Keefe noticed too apparently but ain't worried :laugh:

That's some unexpected honesty from Keefe. Puts more pressure on Nylander to flip the switch come Saturday.

Glad to know Keefe isn't worried though lol.

That's a bad quote.

Irrespective of if he feels that way, it's your job to make sure complacency doesn't set it.

Another reason to add to the pile for firing him this offseason

Matthews had 1 goal in his last 27 shots.

To get back to 19% where he sat all season, he needs to score 7 in his next 13.

Get it done Matty
