There's no way he's starting.

He's playing these games because we're a lock for the playoffs and have a decent enough lead for home ice at the moment, great time to rest up the starter and other players too.

.....I mean I hope that's why.
He's playing these games to get him ready to start game #1 IMO.

Having 7 D means you dont have 6. Having 2 goalies means the you dont have 1. This will be the downfall. Offense and possession game might come back but all it takes is a team entering the zone and terrible things happen.
 
It doesn’t make any sense especially because we have defenseman who can play good defensively in Giordano, Brodie, McCabe, and Liljegren (not of late though).

That is one of Keefe’s weaknesses and why it doesn’t really matter if we have home ice. He’ll do absolutely nothing to get favourable match ups.

last year before the bolts series Keefe went on a "hubris" tour saying he doesn't care who tampa ices he is going to roll his lines....

cooper didn't say f-all like that and outcoached keefe
 
Rielly out of the lineup against the Panthers and Leafs defense looks solid. Rielly back in the lineup against the Canes playing almost 22 mins and Leafs defense looks mediocre again. Coincidence?? Hmmmm...... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The Leafs had home ice in 20, 21 and 22.
 
We got home ice last year kimosabe

I still haven't looked it up and still don't actually believe that we had home ice in the first round last year, but you know what?

I looked up kimosabe, not because I've never heard it before (I'm a middle aged man) but because I wanted to know what the context of using that could be, because if I was being insulted it didn't feel like that. It's a super nice word that I might start using in all sorts of situations because it works with people you are trying to offend and also people you are trying to buddy with, interesting.

    Ke-mo sah-bee (; often spelled kemo sabe, kemosabe or kimosabe) is the term used by the fictional Native American sidekick Tonto as the "Native American" name for the Lone Ranger in the American television and radio programs The Lone Ranger. Derived from gimoozaabi, an Ojibwe and Potawatomi word that may mean 'he/she looks out in secret', it has been occasionally translated as 'trusty scout' (the first Lone Ranger TV episode, 1949) or 'faithful friend'.
 
I said if they play like they did tonight they will. Not if they play like they did 2-3 years ago

You sound like you want the leafs to lose so you can be right. So much so that you don’t see that they played well tonight

if i wanted leafs to lose i wouldn't be there in the gdts cheering the team on every freakin' game.

and wouldn't lose my shit when teh team loses if i want them to lose

are you a dubas fan? serious question i want to understand on what basis are you typing your posts?

It’s from the Lone Ranger and I was in my seats for Game 7. Drove home with my daughter very disappointed

Goal expected against tonight 2.23
Goal expected for 6.3

Vs florida
Goal expected against 2.67
Goal expected for 4.27

Leafs would play the same way 20 game and they would win 19 of those 20... but for a reason tonight leafs paid for every mistake they did in that game... but in reality this game is one of 3-4 best game leafs played all year long... nothing tonworry about it

meh, 2 of those years we had zero fans in empty buildings. pointless. last year was the first time we really had home ice
Home ice means last change, that's more important than having fans in the building.

Unfortunately Keefe is the coach so they can't take advantage of the last change anyway.
 
Kanes were very lucky tonight. Leafs were very good tonight. Max effort from everyone. It happens.
 
I said the same thing about Holl for the last 200+ games...

start at around 27 seconds and look at keefe defending holl (just one example) after game 4.


Then Holl completely Fs up in Game 6 OT
Then in game 7 he takes an interference penalty where I called it even before the ref did. I was so pissed at Holl already after Game 6 OT and after Game 7 I was absolutely disgusted by that plug

Not even mad, we played a great game. Shit happens sometimes. That 4th goal was just horrendous though, the rebound control and then being that far away from the puck. That can't happen. Overall though great effort, Matthews was absolutely dominating once again. One of the rare times I'm pretty happy after a loss, great effort can't win them all. If we lose games, I would prefer it to be like that. Maximum effort and playing good hockey, on to the next one.
