Post-Game Talk: Mother's Day Massacre. Series tied 2-2

[Steven1562]

Burn the game tape, step on it. Shove it in a dumpster. Just forget that one and get game 5.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I'm glad this was the thread title

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

Keefe lovers explain to me why Marner only played 13 seconds more than Blackwell 5v5

 

[IPS]

On a side note can you f***ing believe this people who still want to take Lyubushkin out of the lineup? Like are you on a mission to make the most soft and un-intense team possible for the playoffs? Have these last 5 periods not shown you enough ?

 

[Racer88]

Another game where our 3- 11 million dollar players contribute nothing. some of our roll players have as many goals at those 3.
you simply can’t win like that

 

[3blizzard4]

Pathetic.

 

[New User Name]

though 8 powerplays for tampa and 3 for us didn't help

 

[DcW]

Listen, you aren’t going to win 16 straight in the playoffs but how you respond to a drubbing is Important. Morgan mixing it up with point, beautiful. Envall backing away from Hagel…pathetic

 

[Voodoo Child]

This game was over after ten minutes, like every game except for 2.

Not grabbing these chances is going to continue to bite the Leafs, but it’s a constant part of Leafs fandom.

…They’ve gotten 5-3-3-3 by Vasilevskiy in four games, I guess that’s a positive?

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Piss poor effort. Tampa came ready to play and we didn't it's as simple as that. They need to find some sort of spark for game 5. Lineup changes are coming.

 

[OVO16]

Some boys need to become men pretty soon if they hope to win the series.

In other words, grow a set of balls

Lmao please.

Bunch of pansies. You wanna go to war with Mathews, Marner, Nylander and Tavares in your top 9? LMAOOOOOOO

I think other teams genuinely laugh

 

[DarkKnight]

I could care less about nothing goals after the fact, this is my memory of this game…. Show the f*** up Game 5

 

[Not My Tempo]

I’m surprisingly pretty okay after that loss. It’s a best of 3 now.

 

[ToneDog]

Gotta get Cliffy and Simmonds back in the lineup. Tampa gonna turn up the garbage the remainder of the series.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Unacceptable right from the first minute.

 

[Dr.Funk]

Nylander and Tavares there are no words to how awful they are right now.

 

[Stephen]

I had some high hopes this team would show some new found character and come out swinging to get that 3-1 lead. But I'm pretty damn upset that Tampa wanted to tie it 2-2 more than we want to kick them out of the series. The mini push back at the end of the game means nothing to me. It was great sign that they didn't break in Game 2 but they've seen this team and know what it takes and they let Tampa have their blows early. What's the push back even for? No morale victories tonight, and don't feel like a 2-2 series tie going home is a good thing.

 

[htpwn]

Going into this series, many here appeared willing to accept a hard-fought series loss against Tampa.

Tonight, I think the Leafs erased whatever benefit of the doubt even the most optimistic fan was giving them.

Best of 3 now. Either win the series, or tear the team down.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Welp it's time to start pretending to like Baseball.

I'm going to make sure I'm day drunk on Tuesday.

 

[PromisedLand]

OK I see you and raise you

 

[alliuk12]

Hard to beat a team when you have 5 to 9 players on the ice at the same time

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Where's all my Holl supporters from the last game?

 

[Maplebeasts]

Holl, Lyubushkin and Rielly were just complete disasters. If Keefe doesn't put Liljegren in again and keep him in he can f*** right all the way off. Jack was terrible, Nylander scored a couple which is nice but he also didn't have a good game otherwise. Tavares is a waste of 11 million dollars. Regardless of what happens the rest of the way I hope management asks him to waive and he has the self awareness/honour to do it. Guy has just been horrific relative to his expectations and salary.

 

[Optimist]

Pathetic gutless effort. There's zero leadership on this team. Zero.
