It's bad enough when you have other teams trolling but having our own and quite a few of them trolling our own fan base is sad.
- LeafMan

Almost as sad as the effort by the Leafs tonight...haha...

What a disappointing game.

Have we ever come back from a 3-1 playoff hole?
- Hockey_Reverend

Playing like that? Probably never.

Could still see them bringing it to a game 6.

Simmonds would be great on this soft team
- Fakepartofme

Exactly. That's what I mean, I get the argument that we're not a powerful team, and don't disagree, but we shouldn't be trading a guy like Kap for a guy like Rick Nash.

The Leafs, as a whole, do not use slapshots regularly. Dead last in the NHL in slapshots taken. Only 248 slapshots in 82 games by the whole team combined.

To habs:

Nylander

TO Toronto:

Weber and a 2nd

Marner is significantly better than any Canuck.
- Blazed

Except Gudbranson.

In my opinion Aardvark is spot on.
- RickJames77

Bruins didn't want a physical game so they didn't initiate it. No PP's for either team. Fits right into Bostons game plan.

And Dermont.

Polak has honestly been great. Just like last year. No stupid mistakes, no penalties, big hits in the corners...
- Hockey_Reverend

Polak being carried by Dermott. Massive blunder tonight.

What a disappointing game.

really ? as often as the Leafs have been in the playoffs in the past 2 generations you should have the games memorized .

Playing like that? Probably never.

- Unholy_Goalie

I agree, they will win game 5. But game 6 is the end...

most important game of the year, and you let in a bad goal on first shot on first shift in night?
not many teams can recover from that.
that's just such a morale breaker.
- MaximusAurelius

Ya not many teams can come back from being down by one goal and only have 2 full periods and 19:30 mins left to score it.

Ya
Tough
Please stop

Jesus.

Sad yes, but very entertaining.

Where do I sign ?

Polak played that 2 on 1 better than Zaitsev did though that was a beauty saucer.

Playing like that? Probably never.

- Unholy_Goalie

they only have fun when they score 1st, if they can somehow score first in each game, they could do it.

probability of that is low but .... yeah

To habs:

Nylander

TO Toronto:

Weber and a 2nd


- Hockey_Reverend

I've been saying it for awhile, Nylander can help you get a legit #1 D if they do it right but Weber would be a little too old. Need somebody in the same age range as Nylander unless it's somebody like Doughty.

Exactly. That's what I mean, I get the argument that we're not a powerful team, and don't disagree, but we shouldn't be trading a guy like Kap for a guy like Rick Nash.

Uh
No
We dont trade youth for nash.
No.

I was just trying to think back to 93. I know we were down 2-0 to the wings, but after that I don't remember anything...

Boston with a scorching hot PP I'm sure that was the plan.

They didn't get dominated they were in the game all game. They lost on bad break and 2 junk plays by dmen not being able to make a peewee play.

The leafs spent lots of time in the the offensive zone. They weren't terrible.
- burn

It's all about CAPITALizing (teehee) on chances, and they simply didn't cash in. B's did, and make it look easy. Leafs didn't play great, but better than a lot of people are saying on here tonight.

Polak played that 2 on 1 better than Zaitsev did though that was a beauty saucer.
- Blazed

They both played it like ass. Brutal.

they only have fun when they score 1st, if they can somehow score first in each game, they could do it.

- TheMussel

If Andersen didn't let in that poop 1st goal, they might have got the 1st one tonight. The Leafs look like a fragile group right now.

Blah I'm awful hesistant to trade a blue chipper that hits 60 pts twice on an ELC but he was just so soft this series. Never make a decision angry.

Ok then Weber + 15 yrs supply of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM.

That's all it takes tho. One or two bad turnovers and you're trailing. leafs had very little high quality chances. They did not under any circumstance dominate the game. Posses is an illusion. It's what you do with the puck that matters.
