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

[The Apologist]

Yes...... Because the Leafs playoff success in the last 6 years has spoken volumes and they deserve the benefit of the doubt right????

...............

Just own it when they win, all I ask.

 

[Metroid]

Took it out. No idea

All good!
GLG!

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Cicle the best line for us geniusView attachment 691273

I'd give it to the O'Reilly line Marner and Bunting didn't look great. I guess you thought Bunting and Schenn were better than Matthews that period than right?

 

[Morgs]

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.

All I did was "lol" at a guy saying Marner and Samsonov should be ashamed to wear Leaf jerseys.

People can act however they want to act, but its also why I've blocked ~400 accounts on this website

 

[keonsbitterness]

For a series that's basically a referendum on Dubas, the players didn't do him any favours that period.

Better come out flying in the 2nd, boys.

 

[Northernguy10]

We still seem to wilt when it comes to big boy hockey...Aren't matching their intensity at all.

 

[Gallagbi]

Keefe has never pulled a goalie who looked off his game in the playoffs and just sat there accepting the loss.

Let's see if he's learned his lesson.

Now is an ideal chance to see if Woll can be a difference maker.

I remember the MTL series i believe it was game 5 Campbell came out obviously off form and THAT was Keefe's opportunity to get Andersen into the series and see if he was going to be sharp and usable.

He missed that opportunity and then there was no way you go to Andersen in game 6 or 7 no matter how off Campbell looks.

I dont think Andersen dresssed in that series.

 

[CaptainCrunch17]

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

I just copied and pasted most of them from last year’s excuses. LOL!

 

[SwollenGoat]

Remember we won the first game 5-0 last year and we all know how that ended. Step back from the ledge…

 

[The Apologist]

I'm sure if they lose you'll do the same.

I did disappear when they lost last year. Didn't come back until mid season. Good one though.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Keefe coaches not to lose, he doesn't coach to win.

A lot of the Babcock problems creeping in.

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

Welp. Good thing all the previous years have burned away my emotional nerve endings.

 

[fahad203]

6-3 Leafs. As I said earlier
Got them right where we want them

 

[Teeder Keon]

we didn’t play great , obviously
But
That’s what a goalie is for
Sorry Sammy
Not a good period from you
Let’s get it all back
2 Pp
2 goals this period
2 in the 3rd
GLG

 

[sxvnert]

was one of my favorite Leafs during those playoffs. A forward who worked his ass off and had grit, god i miss those days.

Loved The Valk. He was Bill Berg 2.0.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

That's what I keep saying. Let our younger more talented guys get in to play instead of vets that don't move the needle much. If they make mistakes LET THEM so that they can gain the experience necessary to get better and don't have the coach bench them because they made a bad play or two.

We keep letting our vets make mistakes and keep playing, time to let our future players be able to do the same.

Yeah worse than losing is losing without icing your best possible lineup.

Can't have a coach who is too afraid to play young players.

 

[LeafSteel]

Use our depth, Keefe.

Split Marner and Matthews and get O’Reilly on the 3rd with Acciari to grind and shut down.

Get Nylander and Jarnkrok back with Matthews, and Tavares with Marner.

Depth doesn’t mean a damn thing when they are all jumbled up in the Top 6 and are too easy to defend by a deep team like Tampa. Plus leaving a weak 3rd line that hasn’t played together?

Just the height of stupidity.

Keefe needs to get his head out of his ass.

 

[PromisedLand]

Tavares has sucked 5 on 5 entire regular season playing any of ROR, Marner, Nylander or Matthews with him is wasting their minutes.

Gotta go with this

Jankrok-Matthews-Nylander
Kerfoot-ROR-Marner
Bunting-Tavares-Acciari
4th line

ADJUST Keefe you freakin MORON

 

[shaner8989]

We could dominate for 40 mins but you’re not scoring 4 on vasi. What a disgraceful team.

 

[Pete2000]

 

[Apex Predator]

Just own it when they win, all I ask.

The posters will own it. They want to own it.

 

[Morgs]

Giordano can’t keep up. Getting exploited out there. Leafs will need to scratch him going forward.

He'll look fine when paired with Liljegren next game

 

[Torontonian]

Also sick and tired of Keefe over coaching.. Jancrock dominates on first line and Keefe tries to big brain it and swaps the entire lineup

 

[Sniper99]

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

on the + side we'd have some cap space

 

[hockeyes]

I'm actually impressed how big of a turd these guys dropped in the first, they are in game 7 form already.
