GDT: Tampa Bay vs Toronto 8PM TSN4

[kevsh]

Still so many bad habits this team has to get out of their system.
Brodie joining in on a shorthanded rush. 4 players deep in the offensive zone on a rush and passing back to the trailer (led to a 2-on-1 the other way as expected)? Still way too many risks in their game, like they are always looking for the highlight reel goal.

It's one game, sure. It happens, but hopefully this roster spends some time in the video room over the next 2 weeks as these guys either don't want to change are incapable of it.

Gio is just a man. Glad we have him. We're missing Matty, we're playing technically our third stringer....is what it is. Not going to win them all. Important thing? Doesn't look like we're about to go quietly into the night. And that in itself is a major change within our culture. Wouldn't doubt there's more of that to come before it's all said and done

 

[frizzer1]

Serious question. How does management react to another first round loss? I am not saying we cannot win, but we are playing the back to back cups champs, it's a series most teams will lose.

This sucks

I think they have to find a way to move Tavares.
They can’t add what they need with that contract on the books.

Dubas should be kissing Matthew's ass since this team would be a hot garbage
Lol

carried the team for so long that he's hurt now

 

[Northernguy10]

I'm not worried about losing this game... I'm worried about "how" we are losing... I'm getting flashbacks.

 

[Racer88]

Dubas should be kissing Matthew's ass since this team would be a hot garbage
Lol

I’m pretty sure he already is kissing his butt

 

[Carltons Cup]

Part of me is glad we're getting a beating.

Hopefully the boys use this as motivation for the playoffs

 

[glue]

Not going to overeact, but certainly not a good feeling to get embarrassed by the team you are likely playing in rd 1 in 2 weeks

 

[Aashir]

Marner has looked pretty bad tonight too, but that’s a surprise

Tavares on the other hand…..

 

[fahad203]

Would like to see Simmonds just grab one of their stars and rub them up a bit

or Clifford just take a healthy Sergachev at someone

I am easy

 

[TMLeafer]

Simmonds should deal with Hagel

 

[Wendelstache]

Simmer needs to grab the Kooch and introduce him to his fist.

 

[stickty111]

Another gutless lifeless performance in a clinching situation. The Leafs simply shrink back when the moment gets too big.

A win and they clinch 2nd overall. And, this is what they put out on the ice tonight? Tell me you're not haunted by what might happen now? If the Leafs lost out, I wouldn't be the least surprised.

And here comes Leafs nation. We are such an awful fanbase. I love how this game proves everything but the other games we won means nothing

 

[saffronleaf]

Hagel is a pest.

and based on that incident JT is also something starting with a p

 

[All Mod Cons]

My God. We're gonna have to play these guys in the playoffs. FML.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

What kinda name is Todd Gack anyway?

 

[Koolboss]

This makes zero sense. It’s hockey not football. What hand is there to show? We iced a full lineup against them 2 weeks ago.

You also think it’s a lock we’re going to beat Florida lol…

We are beating Florida?
Thats awesome

 

[Gabriel426]

Love Gio and JT doing that. Need to send message that the Leafs ain’t push over

 

[Tak7]

Famous last words.

They'll lose against Florida, and everyone will panic.

But they'll still get home ice.

 

[LastOne2100]

Really!?!?!? Both!?!?!

 

[TMLeafer]

Bullshit

 

[riffle]

Tavares has done a pretty miserable job filling in for Matthews. Obviously he's not that caliber of player, but he just isn't doing much out there

He's completely washed or injured. Not sure which, but he is a complete drain on this team. When he needed to elevate he took the stairwell to the basement.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Seriously?

 

[fahad203]

Is Mikaheyev playing tonight ?

 

[Aashir]

oh now there’s no missed calls on us
