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

[ULF_55]

Sure wish we had Jarred McCanns 40 goals instead of Kerfoot

Did he become coach since he went to Seattle?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I hope nobody points to Tampa getting smoked in game 1 last year as an example for what the Leafs will do going forward. Tampa is a prideful group, these Leafs are not.

 

[Budz]

Let the out coaching begin.

Welcome back @Daisy Jane.

I pretty much called it.

Playing Tampa’s game. Not ours.
Bad line up.

 

[Burnie97]

Wasnt accidental

Guessing you're agreeing

The high stick on Matthews right before our high sticking penalty....

That too

I’ll bet Dekes For Dubas is frantically working on his 2023 Leaf playoff failure excuses.

* Success isn’t Linear

* It’s really only Dubas’ 2nd year fully in charge

* It’s Lou’s fault

* The officiating is flawed

* Nobody could have anticipated the flat cap

* The advanced stats say the leafs should have won



Feel free to add to the list!

God bless you, Cap'n.

Keefe looked like he was about to lose his cookies before the intermission. I'm not a fan of his line combinations, but this is all on the players.

 

[rocketman588]

I don't understand how Bunting can get blacklisted by the refs but career rat with a history of being an absolute piece of shit Perry gets the benefit of the doubt.

That said, defense looks garbage

It's because Perry doesn't dive his dick off and bitch to the refs for the 90% of the time that he's on the ice

 

[TorMapleJays]

Ghosts of game 4

 

[Aashir]

Lol, or Holl. Dubas literally chose Holl over 40 goal McCaan.

Where else are you gonna find the 6 foot 3 plays like he is 5 foot 5 right handed defencemen who makes the dumbest plays

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

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

Seriously if they're still down by three at the end of the second throw caution to the wind and start really catching guys. Lose 7-0 for all I care, atleast send a message to Kuch that if he has the puck he will be ran over.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

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.

Dubas seems a little lost, his hockey philosophy didn't work out right away so he had changed it and now we're basically don't have a proper identity. Probably the slowest the team has been in the Dubas era

 

[SoftDumpNtheCorner88]

Everybody blaming the refs right now need to stfu.

This team is playing like it's exhibition... I watched Boston vs Florida and LA vs Edmonton games... This team is f***in embarrassing if this is how they plan on playing the playoffs.

Absolutely paper soft. FINISH YOUR CHECKS!

 

[Koolboss]

Relax guys its only the playoffs
Our stars will come to play next regular season.
Pathetic organization

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

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.

Tampa getting away with blatant interference leading to a goal is a tradition at this point.

 

[ER89]

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

Bro you know I don't.

But I also think the leaf fans should be able to react like this after years of failure
The first season the pens didn't make playoffs they saw attendence drop. We deserve better.

f*** we and four teams fund the goddamn league.

It's high time we hold these guys accountable.

You need to send him that list and save him some time. Lol

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

Fire Keefe and hire Trotz. C'mon Dubass

Trotz is now the Preds GM lol

 

[The Apologist]

I just hope that when we win this series, every single one of the people in here claiming it's over after the first period of game one disappear.

 

[TMLAM34]

I don't understand how Bunting can get blacklisted by the refs but career rat with a history of being an absolute piece of shit Perry gets the benefit of the doubt.

That said, defense looks garbage

Probably because Perry was actually an all-star throughout his career.

 

[ECanuck]

Keefe in the locker room like.....

And don't worry about what happened to the suit!

 

[yubbers]

Well then...ewww.

 

[Steven1562]

We lose today and tomorrow it's a sweep. Wouldn't be any other way with this group. Just shameful.

What's sad is this isn't hyperbole.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

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.

We post like the team plays.

 

[The Apologist]

But we touched a guy, instant arm up
