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

[IPS]

I for one loved getting rid of our best bottom-6 play driver and defensive player at the deadline to replace him with *checks notes* Sam Lafferty. Not to mention sacrificing Sandin, and healthying Liljegren to play *checks notes again* Schenn and Holl.

Luke Schenn is at the top of that expected list

 

[Racer88]

The fans need to start booing the crap out of them

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

It's by far the best line. The other ones are getting buried

Matthews in contention for players, that line is definitely not the best line though.

 

[ToneDog]

Some give a f*** about the team it seems.

Wait til the playoffs they said. Well here we are.

 

[glue]

Not just one player deserves blame or just the coach etc. That was a collective fail. Leafs beat themselves once again. Way to give Tampa the confidence that they didn’t need.

 

[BTP]

we won game 1 5-0 last year. maybe this series will play out in reverse.

 

[Apex Predator]

It’s very discouraging to see the start by the Leafs. No one should be shocked that they started slow but still crazy to see.

 

[Future]

This fanbase deserves so much better, man.

Don’t even know what to say anymore. Been on this site for more than a decade and haven’t experience a series win.

 

[notbias]

Game 1, 20 mins in, the season is considered over for most of you... yet you keep posting and complaining, odd.

 

[thewave]

Has a team ever fired a coach mid series before?

I would do it. Keefe is useless.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Keefe looks like the baby from Dinosaurs

 

[Smif]

This is extremely depressing.

I really thought this was the year they'd win a round. Hopefully they really shake things up in the offseason

Oh my gosh dude...lol, you wuss. Already rolling over.

"NHL on ESPN" respected legit hockey analysts in this intermission are literally laughing at the Leafs. Now they are interviewing a gloating Corey Perry.

Great time to be a Leaf fan. Thanks, Dubas.

 

[MarnerElite]

Is anybody that wouldn't prefer Babcock for the rest of this series?...and I hated him.

I don't remember that much but didn't Babcock like that cycle game? I mean it really depends on the lines for me. There is enough on this team to score some goals and at least make this a very close series but the way this is going is brutal and it's mostly on Keefe.

 

[Burnie97]

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


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

I was referring to the non call where after that penalty call... the Tampa guy hauled down our d man. Accidental or not he did.

Right after that Tampa scored.

Never would of happened.

I'm not whining. Leafs played like shit the first 10 minutes.

 

[ToneDog]

The fans need to start booing the crap out of them

Nah, Matty, Willie and Mitch won't resign.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

JT - O'Reilly - Nylander makes no sense to me. Both JT and O'Reilly look so slow and Nylander creates so much on the transition with his speed and his linemates aren't anywhere close.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Sammy playing like game 7 Patrick Lalilme out there.

 

[Morgs]

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

So you too think Marner and Samsonov should be ashamed to wear a Leaf jersey?

 

[ECanuck]

That didn't go well. Hopefully some better luck next 2 periods.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

1 period into game 1 and everyone acting like the series is over lol

Step away from the bridge and give your balls a tug.

 

[DarkKnight]

I expect us to be calmed down next period. My question is why we weren’t prepared at all for their intensity. That was just awful to watch, like we had no idea the game would be different.

Wasnt accidental

 

[Cleetus]

50% of this board are absolute losers

3 pks in the 1st doesnt help

maybe before calling posters on this board losers get your facts straight there was only 2 penalties against.... embarrassing

 

[Stephen]

What was your initial post about? You know, this one

So you called a Schenn "a problem" to clarify, but deny the fact that there are fans who scapegoat him. Ok got it!
