Dumb (frank)ing hit by Reaves when he should have been covering and back checking, 2 dumb penalties trying to be tough = 3 goals GRIT.

So they are just sitting Willy?

Maybe they should have done that during the year??? Not game 1?

You mean boring? What makes you think it will be interesting? This is the Leafs we are talking about…

Guys are going to be taking runs at Bruins hard. Esp if it stays a shutout or gets to 5 -

Bert / Reevo / Domi / Benoit

Period 2 observations:

Boston is playing a perfect playoff game, Toronto is clearly not
Samsonov hasn't been terrible but he hasn't been great
Again we are losing the goaltending battle
Leafs specialty teams suck. This will be the main reason they will lose this series
Benoit should not be in the lineup next game
Stop trying to feed Matthews all the time, it is so predictable!

Yes, it is time to panic. This game is over. Boston does not give up 4-0 leads in the 3rd.

On to game 2. Hopefully Leafs figure things out in game 2, if not, I can totally see them losing 4 straight (which might be the best thing for this organization to force major changes)

Sorry if the snowflakes in here or offended by the truth bombs.

Yeah but were not backing down

Nope. Everyone who claimed they can't handle chippyness, cant/doesnt hit or be physical can eat crow. It just isn't getting results.

Bert and Matthews high sticks were just errant sticks. Domi didnt need to take the slash at the end

Yep.

That’s why Tre put a gag order on all players injuries etc..

He’s sending a message.

Caresie.

They fail at

-retrieving the puck on a dump in
-cycling down low
-Winning 1v1 battles
-clearing the front of their net
-getting a consistent net presence
-stopping the cycle
-penalty killing

These are all the things that require discipline, effort and grit.

And you didn't even mention how easily they let themselves get clogged in the neutral zone. You talkin about inadequacies in the o-zone. They can't even get there..

Bruins were in the Leafs heads before the game even started. It is what it is and how there gonna fix it, i have no clue.
- Buck Norris

That's for Keefe to figure out, and when he doesn't we punt him into the sun.

4-0.
Ya they're the ones eating crow
Lol

The space Marner is being given on the PP is ridiculous.

He’s old, fragile, and his best days are behind him.

He’s a charity case.. Tavares too.

I wouldn’t even sign him for 5M at this point. Steep drop off in his game.

lol okay. They never do this but now they are going to? More likely they will push hard for 5 minutes then give up and float through to the end of the game so they don’t get hurt. And I mean hurt feeling…

Yep.

Dude we already know you don't know poop. Is it a fun game trying to be even more stupid every day you post?

Dewar been arguably most noticeable player. Sadly. Sadly JT been brutal. SOrry Underhill
- drexel

No apology needed. The recognition of truth is all I needed.

He sucks. Period.

If I was coach, strip him of the C before game 2 and pin it on Matthews.

And hes good.

Dodgers lost 7 of their past 9 games.
Nice.

Calm down.

I’m not trying to argue with you.

As usual, I suggest you converse with people who want to with you.

Yep.

lol. Okay. I’m all for sending messages but again, you need to do that during the regular season. Not game 1. If you want to send a message then fire the friggin coach who keeps getting out-coached!

The people who can eat crow are those who think the roster construction with the core of Matthews, Tavares, Nylander, and Marner could ever be a legitimate contender.
