No. Guys like Sorokin and Sheshterkin were turning in great performances but there was so much offense thrown at them that they couldn't succeed without building a brick wall in front of the net.
There was a reason for the scratch head emoji

I know there are points when the goalie is not the problem but others definitely don't believe that was the case during the playoffs.

Has anyone considered that within the hockey ecosystem, that this is objectively the single most important game in the league this season? Maybe multiple seasons?

I know it sounds main-boardy, but I think it’s true.

The Leafs look like they’re asleep. It’s weird. Playing with zero urgency

Next year they should make one more rule change.. if you are hurt during icing you cannot be replaced and you play 4 on 5.

The Leafs are obviously going 7. At the very least, the series has to end on their ice to get that reaction. If they lose Game 5, they may have been better off losing tonight. But we know the Leafs by now, 7 games is how it has to be.

Tonight they decided that if they're not going to score, they better control the ice. The Panthers passed up some chances thinking they need to be better to win, I think PK had it right.

Been saying Woll is good. He should have played more NHL games.

You never expect it to happen, but the Leafs seem to be embracing the full jokerfied, spiting their own fans who expect them to fail. Just channel the negative energy into making people watch these games and hope they're forced to watch more after that.

The Vegas goalie had a chance to be a "feel good" story, but no, splat on his face.
Tell me this hasn't been the worse exhibition of playoff goalie play you've seen in a long time.
