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

[Dr.Funk]

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

Lily never should have came out to begin with.

 

[Menzinger]

Nylander likely deserves flack for the game.

But it would be nice if the best goal scorer in the league would actually pot some goals when needed.the Leafs didn't get 33 million worth of production from their top three guys tonight.

Its Done, TAMPA in 6.

Campbell is terrible. Only 2 games left with him in a Leafs jersey and he is gone.

 

[Leaffan1991]

I would put Cliff Simmonds and Lilly back in next game.
Spezza maybe Kase but he's been okay and Holl sit.

 

[Jojalu]

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

Not a Keefe lover but my take would be because he spent an enormous amount of time on the PK and PP

 

[All Mod Cons]

We can't play Simmonds and Clifford or else we'll take too many penalties.

Yep. They both need to be in. And we need to accept they'll take penalties. It's their job. We'll take penalties regardless. Let it at the very least be worth it, in an attempt to get Tampa of their game.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Mother's Day Massacre is appropriate. I mean damn blink they were done 3-0.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

Buddy engvall mik kampf all played more than matthews nylander tavares marner 5v5. How is nobody else annoyed at this, you like losing in the first round all the time?

The one year we have a duo that becomes men they have to play side kick to two low IQ players just because they ran wild with the net empty

 

[leafsafc]

I'd like to see Clifford & Simmonds come in, only because it means the 4th line will barely play and we can lean on the top guys.

 

[Taswell]

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 ?

As a non-leaf fan, Lybushkin has impressed me. He plays playoff games the right way.

 

[TheShape]

I didn’t have any faith we were taking both games in Tampa so whatever. Best 2 out of 3 now, they’re losers until proven otherwise so let’s see which leafs show up.

Keefe is a big blame here too, enough of the galaxy braining.

 

[Maplebeasts]

I feel that penalty should have been called against Point at that race for icing.

It was a bad non call.

Tampa gets 8 powerplays while blowing us out and the refs didn't call either the slash or the crosscheck there. The refs haven't been that bad overall in the series but they sure as hell were today.

 

[Mr_Fun]

What a dopey looking effort. So many dumb decisions, crappy passes, and missed assignments.

 

[Bloomberg]

Is anyone worried about our first line? They are getting shutdown again. This year they were suppose to be unstoppable....

 

[Stephen]

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

He was definitely the weakest link that broke first in this game, but top to bottom this team was pathetic. I had a bad feeling when Keefe was kind of schmoozing and joking at the end of Game 3 at the presser. Looked like they hung up the mission accomplished banner a little too early like when they went up 3-1 vs Montreal last year.

Marner spent so much time killing penalties would be my guess.

 

[Dave92]

Also it would appear the entire hockey world was right and Kyle Dubas was wrong when they said his core was to expensive and soft to with with in the playoffs since day 1. 3 games left to salvage it, if not the media blood bath will be something to behold.

 

[Cleetus]

As a non-leaf fan, Lybushkin has impressed me. He plays playoff games the right way.

your Cesaro Avy is that when Ambrose knocked his teeth out? lol I remember that

 

[robertmac43]

Best of 3 with 2 games at home. Got to get this done!

 

[A1LeafNation]

Is anyone worried about our first line? They are getting shutdown again. This year they were suppose to be unstoppable....

First line gets shutdown bc the other team only has to focus on them.

Where is JT and his 11M ass.

 

[Just Rude]

Bunch of f***ing p***yes. Seriously.
Let’s see if they have any f***ing pride in Game 5.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Steam rolled right from puck drop.

great thread title.

Appropriate the Leafs played like they wanted their mommies on mother's day,

 

[Jojalu]

Leafs were bad, but Tampa is on some real voodoo run. Insane not to lose 2 in a row in the playoffs for this long.

Too bad it ends after game 5 and 6

 

[34]

Matthews has been f***ing invisible.

 

[JKG33]

The forwards are soft, the D lacks a true #1, and the goaltending is as shaky as ever.

Simmonds and Clifford won't change anything. Need skilled forward that actually hit, but that ship has sailed in the Dubas era.

This game showcased everything I've hated about this team for years
