GDT: Round 1 - Game 4 | LEAFS LEAD 2-1 | Leafs @ Habs - May 25, 2021 @ 7:30pm EST

[IPS]

just heard on Leafs Lunch that this current core group is 0-7 when given the opportunity to close out a series or extend a series lead. So.....

8th times a charm I guess?

8th times a charm I guess?

I have faith. This group is different

they are 0-0 in those same circumstances this year. New year, fresh start. The boys will step up

 

[TopChedder]

It was close but you think they could have even edged out a single win. Especially given their regular season record against the Jets.

Imo nothing to be happy or proud of for the Oilers here

Great point. I would still be upset if I were the Oilers organization. They are essentially killing McDavids prime.

Andersen was the starting goaltender in every single one of those playoff games.

Just sayin'

 

[m1ker]

Keefe needs to stop trying to over coach and just roll his lines. After the PP in third he tried Nylander with the third line and it screwed up the rotation for 10 minutes. It’s a big reason we had a terrible 3rd.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Lets go out there and do er again boys! GLG!!!
I hope they sit Jumbo!

 

[AvroArrow]

Biggest game of the series, lets GO

Couldn't have said it better. Different group.

Not that I expected anything to be different but the media narratives surrounding this series (and playoffs) are pathetic. These guys are falling overthemselves to praise the Habs however they can and the Leafs aren't getting any credit for playing great hockey.

There's even starting to be puff pieces defending the Oilers flop of a disaster lol

Pierre LeBrun is also a notorious Habs bootlicker. He's also very rarely got anything good to say about the Leafs.

The way they have abused him along with how much he plays, You gotta think in 4 years, he'll be like bone dry and so worn out it'll be interesting if any team is even interested in him.

He goes all out in season and then playoffs come by and he's burnt out.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Get Nylander on pp 1 and stop being too fancy . Marner keeps trying for that fly by the net tuck in move when just shooting it is probably the move. Take care of the puck and play in their end. Don't play into retaliation. Campbell or Andy?

 

[Run705]

I'm worried Keefe might start Ander5en

 

[JT AM da real deal]

I think tonight is da night for Wayner v Edmundson in a heavy tilt .. unless of course Weber wants to take da beating .. hopefully we are up by 2 in 3rd and Wayner can take one of them on a canoe ride .. best to loosen up some teeth and break a bone too

Would love to see Brooks draw in. I like our team and the mean streak we have at times but we really need to score a few more goals. We can play defence but are struggling to score goals with injuries funny enough.

Engvall should be a mainstay as well. He can play defence and his size/ reach and speed combo is always a threat to get some scoring chances.

Price has been a monster which I expect nothing less and definitely agree with brooks playing. Thornton needs some rest.

At the same time they're all having pity parties for McDavid after the jets humilated him.

Imagine what they'd be saying about the leafs if they got swept by the jets? hell, half the media is upset right now because they can't use their TRADE WILLY go-to.

[GrizzGreen]

Here we go boys, big springtime game, the birds are chirpin and the boys are buzzzzzzzzin

 

[Gabriel426]

Just Win

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Get in Price's head early and dominate possession and shot clock. Lay the body on their forwards and we can easily grab a third win.

 

[egd27]

I'm worried Keefe might start Ander5en

I'm worried Andersen may post a 4o save shut out and steal Jack's job.

Unless Jack says he can't go, Andersen should not be starting.

Just means we're due

 

[Zybalto]

He could post a 60 saver in triple overtime and he's not stealing any jobs.

You dont take out a .951 starter for a backup....ever...

 

[Advanced stats]

Expecting a pile of stupid stick penalties from an old, slow, frustrated Montreal defense.
