Series Talk: Leafs vs Lightning Pre-Playoff Thread

[myleafs]

People rag on Holl way too much. You can't have 6 $8M D Men, he is a bargain and versatile on the PK, one of the better PKs in the league

Your right you cant have 6 8milly dmen but keefe likes to play Holl like he is one and thats the biggest issue people have I think.

Waiting for tomorrow to come...

 

[myleafs]

I'm pretty sure you can watch Leafs playoff games for free on the CBC app.

yes all leafs games on cbc

Hate Tampa like no one else
Rooting for you guys
They WILL run your goalie
It was discussed on their board
They are that dirty
Will do anything to win fair or not
Whats the back up plan ? Is Murray available?

Hopefully the leafs do the same

 

[Rude Dog]

.... their 4th line just got better

If he's healthy. If not, may not be true.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

I just hope we get the same hungry ROR from 2019 that decimated Boston in the cup finals.

I'm pretty sure we will - nothing else would motivate an Ontario born boy like this.

Everyone I know in hockey tells me ROR is special because he truly has an unwavering work ethic, he is da ultimate team guy in being selfless and most importantly he exudes leadership in everything he does .. our core guys in Matty, Mitch and Willy all have much much more skill but they need to be led (they are not leaders) .. JT is captain BUT ROR is da captain already and I am told everyone has bought in including JT

It seems off to write off a player like him so quickly.. hagel wasnt great after coming over in the reg season but sure looked the part as the playoffs got going

If this was a malgin type player or a lafferty type player fine.. but this guy is a unique physical package that can play mean.. can affect games

I wouldnt write guys like him off until he actually is a non factor..

This is the kind of guy that will score that goal in game 7 like Nick Paul last year.

100% exactly.. it is the kind of the guy that they have consistently identified and brought in and has had success.

Oh man, I cannot wait for Luke Schenn's first big playoff hit at SBA. Gonna be electric.

Eh, maybe, but I would not count on it. People underestimate how bad Jeannot has been this year. He’s not even half the player Paul is

So, no one

 

[PROUD PAPA]

I don’t know how anyone who watched him play this season could consider him an important addition.

[ACC1224]

Looks like the Jays are away during all Leaf home games for round 1 at least., Best news I've heard all day.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

So, no one

Boys will be boys .. never changes

.... their 4th line just got better

Who cares, if we're worried about Jeannot being an impact player we're already f***ed.

 

[Burnie97]

Who cares, if we're worried about Jeannot being an impact player we're already f***ed.

Exactly. He's a 4th liner who hits people and he's super over rated.

Tampa are trying to justify giving up basically a whole draft class for a face smasher.

Leafs have enough grit now. Can't worry too much about guys like this. He'll be playing hurt too whenever he's back.

 

[AvroArrow]

I don’t know how anyone who watched him play this season could consider him an important addition.

Only reason anyone would suggest it, is the value Tampa gave up in order to get him. They paid more for him, than we did for ROR and McCabe.

 

[myleafs]

So, no one

I dont know if he actually does know someone in hockey or not but your response made me

 

[TorMapleJays]

I feel like anti-vaxxers ruined it

……………………. Riiiiiight………………..

That’s bait.

prejudiced takes like that are soooo 2021.

 

[TorMapleJays]

I think it has a correlation with winning. It's been just as long since leafs won anything. Flags will appear if they win the series

And rather then an hour drive home.. it’ll become a 4 hour drive home if they win the series.

 

[mikeyz]

Sheldon Keefe is a MORON

Minus Holl and Kerfoot being in the lineup over Lily and Knies. I actually like this lineup. The low hanging fruit that I like is ZAR and Lafferty on the same line. They had great late season chemistry.

 

[TorMapleJays]

I dont know if he actually does know someone in hockey or not but your response made me

He called JT long before anyone else.

 

[Rob Brown]

……………………. Riiiiiight………………..

Not really.

 

[crump]

Excited for McCabe. Insane how some players can go through most of their career and not taste playoffs. Let’s hope his first foray into the post season lasts longer than most of his teammates. Should be no lack of motivation on this team.
