Pre-Game Talk: Tampa @ Toronto - Game 2 - Thursday

[HamiltonNHL]

I like Woll but he’s not ready to beat Tampa.

he pretty much did already.

and Holl is our most heavily utilized PK defenseman

Tell me your team doesnt have a #1D without telling me your team doesnt have a #1D.

3 playoff games + a match penalty for that is crazy for a first time offender. But on the other hand, Bunting is a moron so I don't really feel bad for him

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

3 games is nuts.....

 

[frizzer1]

Years ago the argos’ Dick Thornton was guest speaker at a dinner I was at.
He said that Leo Cahill was a great coach in practice all week.
But when the game started he was panicked and all over the place.
Sounds like Keefe to me although keefe is - already panicking even at practice.

 

[GoonieFace]

Have the announced the Refs yet?

It’s going to be Wes McCauley disguised as someone else

 

[Burnie97]

Cernak will probably be back after tomorrow's game too. 3 is pretty steep. I figured 1 maybe 2.

Whatever it wasn't a good hit. He hit him high.

Maybe Knies gets a chance to shine.

Hopefully some good comes from it.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Pretty much as expected. Match penalty + 1 game for the hit. 2 games for being a Leaf.

It's a cliche, but start on time.

Mentally fragile teams don’t do that. Major reason why we’re on our way to 7 straight first round exits. Most mentally weak core on display.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I started a thread at the same time as you... sorry.









Not even sure what to expect anymore. Need this game to ensure this is a series!

Those forward lines are much better but FFS Keefe put Liljegren in and lose Holl or Schenn.

Schenn was fine last night, not sure what the issue is with him? looks good to me?

That’s fair. Jury’s out on Holl though. He’s just one of those players that coaches have a soft spot for. Every coach does. Just sucks that Lilly isn’t in getting in the playoffs again, especially after an overall strong season.

I would like Lily in over Holl though I agree there

It's one game, chill.

 

[Steven1562]

Can't believe they are still playing Holl after last night. Guy plays defense like his controller disconnected.

 

[Maple Leaf]

maybe put in lilgrin and get rid of keef e

 

[authentic]

Pretty much as expected. Match penalty + 1 game for the hit. 2 games for being a Leaf.

Surprised he didn't get 3 for being Bunting.

 

[GoonieFace]

Well it’s not really just one game, but whatever. They will be better Thursday, still expect them to win in 6 despite Keefe being a moron

 

[PromisedLand]

Time to move on to the next one.

Go Leafs Go!

Lines at practice.

Jarnkrok Matthews Marner
Kerfoot Tavares Nylander
Knies ROR Accari
ZAR Kamph Lafferty

IMO, you have to run Samsonov out one more time.

Get Nylander the F away from Tavares. Tavares SUCKS 5 on 5; we are wasting Nylander's minutes

 

[authentic]

Schenn was fine last night, not sure what the issue is with him? looks good to me?

Aston Reese, Holl and Giordano were enough for us to lose that game.

 

[mapleleafs34]

Jarnkrok-Matthews-Marner
Knies-O'Reilly-Nylander

Problem solved.

Justin Holl is a JOKE. Quite frankly Dubas, Keefe and the Leafs deserve all the flack they get directed towards them

 

[authentic]

Jarnkrok-Matthews-Marner
Knies-O'Reilly-Nylander

Problem solved.

It pisses me off that these won't be the lines. Oh well, if we lose we'll have a new coach next year anyway.

 

[Rob Brown]

The series is 1-0. People are acting like it's over lol.

We won game 1 last year and still lost the series. Shit happens. If we lose tomorrow then yeah I'll be more worried but even then it's not over.
