there

Dear Leafs,

The game is 3 periods.

Love,

The Fans.

they are protecting the lead, which is a strategy

 

[Chief Berube]

Campbell saving the game for the leafs

We’ve been asking for a goalie who could do that! Finally a goalie who can do it

 

[Diver3368]

I gotta feeling they are gonna pull the goalie soon

 

[keonsbitterness]

This is taking years off of my life

Cool, you're younger!

 

[Stigma]

Thornton looks like me if I was out there, terrible

Haha! I was going to say something similar. Thornton actually looks like me when my wife videotapes some clips of my beer league game. I can almost feel the heaviness of his legs.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Holl has low-key been rough this series. No way am I keeping him over Dermott in the ED.

 

[htpwn]

They've got one shot in the period and the reason why is obvious.

Have they won a single puck battle? It's like they think they've won and have already mentally gone back to the hotel.

 

[PromisedLand]

Keefe calm the boys down. Tell them to play and not turtle

 

[horner]

Did we forget that we v
Can shoot at there net

 

[The Kessel Run]

Any other team Holl is watching from the presser. He's such an overrated D

He's been fringe lineup quality for quite awhile after his great start to the year.

 

[Leafidelity]

This team is too good to be turtling like this

 

[IPS]

So dumb how this team completely abandons any intensity and plays not to lose..

 

[IronHalen]

Keefe needs to stop pretending holl is a shutdown d.

He's been mediocre for a few months now.

 

[fahad203]

I really want to know what coaches see in Nash.

Joe needs to seat. Brooks would have gotten a shot in

Simmonds has been great. This is the Simmonds we need and want

 

[BlueAzN]

Marner looks like a literal child out there.

Dude's softer than snow during the desert heat of Saudi Arabia. Literally evaporates.

 

[Tlo1]

We got this!

 

[TimeZone]

Ah the old lay back, stop skating and pray approach. Where have I seen this before and what could possibly go wrong?

 

[BigBlu]

20 years ago, Joe buries that.

He literally turned to go back to the bench before he saw the result... He knew it was a fail as he did it.

 

[Aashir]

Campbell only reason it isn’t tied or worse
Keefe needs to calm the boys with a timeout or something

 

[NoName]

Score effects.

BS. The Leafs are on their heels. It isn't just that they are unable to generate sustained offense because they are playing conservatively, they aren't able to even clear their own zone.

This is how you lose a one goal lead.

Idk man defending by staying in your zone the entire period doesn’t seem smart to me. We can still push play just don’t pinch

 

[Burnie97]

you wont know about the hotdogs till hes about 25 and on his second contract lol

Haha true

 

[Nylander88]

Shorten the bench Keefe. Let's go here boys. Jack, keep doing your thing. You're perfect

A stupid strategy.

 

[Acesup]

I love the strategy of having the play in your end the entire time. Wonderful strategy.
