GDT: The BwO Presents: Leafs vs Panthers - The Game Before Game 7 - 8pm EDT SN

[Squiffy]

I'm trying to be positive. Our GDT for game 6 of round 2 can't be a pit of misery. These guys have two games to change the narrative. Two chances. We get behind them or we give up. We're Leaf fans, if we were gonna give up it would have happened a long time ago.

So! the BwO directive from sub-basement C of the Nigerian division, special ops division in charge of radical series swings, says go f***ing Leafs go.

Metallica speaks to our state of mind:

It’s like I said in the pregame thread. It’s a win win no matter what happens from here on out.

Win and we have a chance to go to the ECF. Lose and we never get to see Marner donning a Leafs uniform again.


It’s all gravy.

I looked at the stats at moneypuck and tried to figure things out.

Robertson did a great job and should play MORE,

Laughton should be benched - let Holmberg play instead

That's my advice for the upcoming game .

This feels like when we put our beloved whippet down last year It was an incredibly sad feeling, but knew it was time. There was a lot of sadness in the days building up to it, but immediate relief and gratitude when it was finally done as it allowed us to move on.

That's how I feel about the 'core four' and tonight (or at latest, Sunday).

sorry about your dog

 

[Bellzy]

f*** it… LEAFS IN 7 BABY! You have my heart until you lose. You sluts.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I am excited for the game!

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Fully expecting a win tonight just so they can lose one last trademark Game 7 for us. It would be perfectly fitting for that to be the end of this era.

Either way I’m going to watch. The champagne is ready for potentially Marner’s last game as a Leaf and Shanahan as President .

Precisely my sentiment too.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

What a beautiful day for a hockey game eh folks?

I think the weather is perfect. This is Leafs nation currently. Melancholy. Show us what you got boys.

It's eastern conference final or bust for a lot of you.

 

[The Shadow]

This will be ugly. Florida is too much for these guys. Their forecheck is crushing Toronto and Tanev has been crushed over and over

 

[BallardEra]

I can't see the Leafs or Panthers beating the Canes at this point.

Either team won't have enough left in the tank.

Good luck with that. This place is 67% misery at the best of times.

Is it really an 8pm start ?

can't watch this one live, I almost got suspended from my family for my mood yesterday on 4 hours sleep

 

[Brown Dog]

The Leafs are painting their masterpiece. They will win the Cup this year--but by the time it happens we'll all be too embittered to enjoy it (or maybe even to realize it happened) as we continue to mutter to ourselves that they're all a bunch of soulless losers.

 

[Jojalu]

Baby steps.

Score the first goal.

Build on it.

Go for the kill.

Sunday night Game 7 sounds right!

 

[Tak7]

8pm start time = waiting to be called into a colonoscopy, only to find out the entire shitty experience has been delayed.

I've given up on them. Could see them folding like a cheap suit today. They aren't narrative busters. They are exactly who we thought they were. One final time for 16/34 to let us down again.

 

[BallardEra]

Reservation for 6:30pm at McSorley's to watch this one gang!

What is it going to be for first beverage of the night?

 

[Orfieus]

Prove me wrong Toronto (this is what I said after the OT loss)

 

[The Management]

I admire you lot. We're all part of the same nation. Cheer and cheer hard.

There's a chance I drag myself back in front of the television, but I think the last game took me out. Casualty of the war. It's a long weekend and I might just put something on the barbeque.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Leaf fans deserve better than this shitshow series.

 

[Suntouchable13]

The last time the Maple Leafs came back from 3-2 down to win a series was in 2002 against the Sens. Game 5 was a crushing defeat with a late gwg by Alfredsson. Then the team regrouped and won the next 2 games to win the series and move on to the ECF. Of course, that team had a lot more grit and heart than this one. And Ottawa Senators weren't the defending SC champs.

 

[SprDaVE]

I'll be gone camping for 4 days very soon. It was an up and down season but finished with a lot of fun moments. A shame they had to take a crap on it yet again but maybe they can find some self respect and find a way.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Good luck with that. This place is 67% misery at the best of times.

It is.
