GDT: Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1, Game2 - Leafs Vs Bolts; May 4th. 7:30 p.m. EST

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Tavares with a rare appearance

All I can say is will really see what they're made of in game 3 now. It'll go a long way to deciding it.

Tampa is going to absolutely destroy us in front of their fans

They know what winning is. They know what it takes to win. Now that they’ve stretched their legs, we stand no chance

This team is full of guys who have zero push back. Just another week and they can go relax on a beach somewhere

Just gotta get 1 in Tampa.

 

[Carltons Cup]

So which jack Campbell are we getting on Friday night?

 

[Racer88]

Love the whiners.....what did you think, the B2B Stanley Cup Champs were gonna just roll over after getting spanked last game?

I don’t think many thought they would roll over but most of us thought the Leafs would have more effort then they have shown tonight And that Campbell would have made a few more saves

 

[The Big Swede13]

Run Vasi

 

[Commander Clueless]

Oh the highs and lows of this team, I tell you

 

[All Mod Cons]

We never seem to be able to check teams that clog the neutral zone.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

I blame it all on the last second goal in the first period. Really good period down the drain and then it fell apart after the Vas save

Oh well. Get a split in Tampa

 

[Gallagbi]

Yeah it was great but be need more of everything.

We needed to kill some penalties, that's been the big difference

 

[notbias]

Marner with the vanishing act tonight.

You watching the game?

 

[keonsbitterness]

How much influence could Bettman have had in those few months?

I'm no fan of his but he really has had no influence on hockey operations. He leaves that to others, Bettman concentrates almost entirely on business matters.

 

[DcW]

Needed to keep the momentum from game one but instead steam rolled in every aspect. Not shocked, disappointed maybe but definitely not shocked

 

[All Mod Cons]

Yes, he is. He is number 91. He hasn't missed a shift.

f***, i wish he did sometimes.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Tampa has completely neutralized us in every zone. Well done.

 

[egd27]

Should have been easy like game 1.
The refs smell like fish this game though. Not that I thought we would win this game.

Horrible reffing, a couple of lucky bounces on the first 2 PP goals. (But Simmonds didn't help the cause too much)

This board is full of typical Toronto fans.....when they win, they think they'll never lose again. When they lose, they think they'll never win again.

New game starts on Friday. 0-0

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

If Tavares is a face-off specialist and PP merchant now would it kill him to have won those faceoffs on the PP, or hell even scored.

 

[PromisedLand]

You know what's scary?

Tampa looked like ass and completely disinterested in Gm 1 and we scored 5 goals on them

We don't look disinterested and not complete ass and Tampa has put 5 goals on us

 

[joepeps]

Love the whiners.....what did you think, the B2B Stanley Cup Champs were gonna just roll over after getting spanked last game?

nope.. just expected a fair game to be called and not ruined the game

 

[57 Years No Cup]

The leafs are very easy to shut down in the playoffs. Horrible teams like Columbus and Montreal did it easily.

So I was confused after game 1 why Tampa (best team in the world) didn't just do the very very easy tactics to 100% shut down our star players.

I'm guessing at this point they just didn't try.

But this game looks PRECISELY like the past few years. Clog things up, give no room, our star players diasapper.

Yup. Tampa brought their A game, the Leafs have no corresponding effort or pushback, that plus horrible goaltending = 1st round loss.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

The Bruins vs Canucks in 2011 was one of the single worst dispalys of officiating in pro sports history. I hate the Canucks but they got jobbed beyond belief.

I fully agree with this statement. I'm surprised it's not a bigger thing in NHL lore.

Lol we did what we could tonight dude. They handily outplayed Tampa in the 1st before the game rigging began.

 

[Burnie97]

Just gotta get 1 in Tampa.

True enough. Both would be nice lol

 

[ER89]

Take these two out, then the team becomes softer than butter.

Who tf cares. At least you aren't killing pens all f***ing day

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

@SheldonJPlankton is a Habs fan whos obsessed with the Leafs. Just look at the man's post history he spends more time on the Leafs than he does on the Habs.
