GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Game #1 Tuesday @ 7:30pm | Legacy

[rocketman588]

Luckily we have Mix-Master Keefe behind the bench.

He will make adjustments in the 2nd, and find a way to put players together who have no history or chemistry together.

Way foozle’em Keefer!!!

Maybe we'll roll out the 5 forward lineup that lasted one game

 

[ToneDog]

Rather lose to Tampa and fire Keefe and Kyle into the sun than to Boston and have them extended. Sorry, you've grinded a year to get here and then you shit the bed in period 1 of game #1.

Not over but not impressed.

 

[Leafblooded]

Pound Kucherov for the rest of this game.
Throw it at his feet and truck him.

This is what I'm saying. These little boys need to manup and just get the whole team ejected. If they're gonna be embarrassed at least knockout some f***ing teeth and make them bleed. But they won't. Cuz theyre cowards

 

[Gallagbi]

Pound Kucherov for the rest of this game.
Throw it at his feet and truck him.

Thats my thought. Get physical, get into it and start setting the tone for the series.

 

[The Apologist]

This has got to be lowest hitting playoff game so far... Tampa up 3 and leafs not roughing it up yet

We can't. Can't afford any more penalties.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Does anyone here still get angry when this happens?

I've been numb to it for several years now.

I am literally unable to let this team make me angry anymore.

 

[DarkKnight]

87 Keefe f bombs during intermission, we should be good.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Didn't LA go down 0-3 last night too?

Stay positive boys!

LA's core has cup winners on it. Ours have perennial playoff chokers.

 

[sxvnert]

Time for a line change:

Jarnkrok Matthews Nylander
Tavares OReilly Marner
Bunting Acciari Lafferty
ZAR Kampf Kerfoot

 

[Tlo1]

That call was so bad, but it's like the usual league pile on after the Leafs no show so badly.

Brodie doesn’t get a pass that was just a brain dead penalty to take

 

[Rompane]

Lol at the commentators talking about missing call before the goal. Acciari trips Tampa guy and he falls on Giordioano.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

And now I get Ron McLean. How could this get any worse?

 

[Leafs87]

I honestly wonder if ownership ever watchs? Like how can you honestly not see that toughness has been this teams weakness for years and has always been danced around.

 

[TheShape]

Matthews and Marner are absolute dogshit. I am sorry, they are 2 overpaid bums. Let's hope they find their balls in the intermission. Pathetic

Matthews is engaged. Playoff Marner torpedoing that line again.

 

[TiMo15]

No word. Just brutal

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Did I miss anything ?

 

[ER89]

Lol

Morgs man i love you bro but f*** these f***s always disappoint

 

[Racer88]

I see the annual Leaf Board implosion has arrived early this year.

Yup it goes along with the Leafs annual playoff implosion

 

[MoreMogilny]

Leafs made it 2-0

Refs made it 3-0

Don’t blame the refs. Brodie held stamkos. You can’t do that. It’s our own fault we suck ass

lol, such a massive overreaction

Is it though? Where’s the winning culture with this group?

It’s not a stretch to say they’re done already when we all know exactly what happens when this team faces adversity. They can’t pull through

 

[ryno23]

The difference is their big guys Kuch, Stamkos, Point, Hedman, Killorn all play playoff games like it's their last and will go thru a wall to score a goal. Our big guys think it's still regular season hockey trying cute fancy passing plays vs throwing pucks on crashing the net

 

[CelticDruid]

Upcoming Nylander 3rd line demotion.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Does anyone here still get angry when this happens?

I've been numb to it for several years now.

I am numb too. I'm too busy helping my son with his math homework. Just keeping a casual eye on this.

 

[Bloomberg]

Take bunting off the top line, put him on the third line.

 

[Antropovsky]

That’s just a poor excuse for being a poorly built team

We just don’t have the winning factor

This team plays way too undisciplined during the season. Star players making constant giveaways and no repercussions, lots of late game goals against, leafs don't go to tough areas of the ice. Over pass, don't shoot and few dirty goals around the net...It's really no surprise they struggle in playoffs. They thrive in the season making fancy passes and relying on skill plays. Space dry up in the playoffs.

 

[kevsh]

Ahh, I said before this game tonight won't tell us anything.

Historically with this group:
- If they get clobbered in game 1, they lose the series
- If they lose a close one in game 1, they lose the series
- If they crush their opponent in game 1, they lose the series
- If they win a close one in game 1, they lose the series.
