come on... he's the single biggest reason they got to game 7.

maybe, just maybe if he improves his rebound control and doesn't have the guys crapping the bed in front of him in the last 2 minutes .. .its a different story.

as much as Chara and few on the Bruins were out of gas.. .so were the Leafs guys. Gunnarson was thrown around like a rag doll, not blaming him for it.. just saying. We all know what happens to Phaneuf when he plays too many minutes.

- BorjeFan4Ever


no.

the way he handled rebounds all series, the leafs were lucky to live another day after 4 games.

the way the team rallied around reimer to bail him out is the reason they got to game 7. reimer made some huge saves that kept them in it, but the team bailed him out more than he bailed out the team. great coaching..

and they all collectively, along with reimer, are responsible for what we just watched. i realize the same could be said for a lot of things.. but a goalie who could've reacted appropriately just may have been the difference.

i've supported reimer all year, i'm a fan.. but he blew it with the best of them.

we ordered 2 24s during the 1st. Guy didn't show till the last minute. Of the 3rd.


We didn't answer the door.


He buzzed for 40 minutes.

Yup.

If you described the Leafs' team record and individual performances this year before the season started, you would have been bwahahaha'd right off the internet.

Kadri not a bust, McClement with Selke talk, Kessel PPG again, Reimer (and Scrivens) both serious NHL goalies, Gardiner with a huge playoff, et cetera, et cetera....

This sucks big cloutier right now, but it ain't all bad.

Now Nonis, knock one out of the park at the draft and let's get back at the Bruins next year!

There is some silver lining, yes. But that was utterly inexcusable tonight.

Alright, fine. The Leafs are terrible and should be ashamed of themselves. Happy?
- Double_A


When you are up 4-1 with 10:20 left; 4-2 with 1:40 left in regulation and lose 5-4 in overtime in game seven ... it's shameless. Not talking crap, but to say its not shameless is utterly stupid.

Then again, not as bad as blowing a 3-0 lead in the series and losing in seven, right?

How much does this team miss Bozak in the defensive zone?

One face off win. That's all we needed.

- Leeman4Gilmour


True... but you have to remember, he's not big enough and doesn't score enough to be true #1 center.

You know, like Bergeron.

so just to get the completely irrational fans going in their desperate hour after the loss... how's about we blame it on Bozak. Wussy.. he didn't even play.

Can someone tell me again why I should like Phaneuf? I've completely forgotten after watching the 3rd and 4th goal.

True that. Our single Montreal fan showed up in a Canadiens jersey the day after. I can't let him beat me....

You don't hve to like him, you just have to realize that he's unfortunately Toronto's best defenseman.

No, I'm obviously not happy. Nor am I interested in backhanded compliments from fans of a team we just gifted a series to.
