0/4 on the powerplay. Why does this powerplay just dry up when the playoffs come around?

It's the same story every year.

 

[DarkKnight]

Reminds me of vintage Freddy Andersen.

Great save then always the bad one at the worst time. Check!

 

[egd27]

Bieksa has a point -- team that keeps its head best in the 3rd will probably win.

Which coach do you think will do a better job having his guys stay focused ?

 

[keonsbitterness]

How come the people defending the refs never say shit when it's boston getting 4 PP's in like 10 mins in game 5 2018 series?

There is no winning ref arguments, which is why I try (not always successfully) to avoid them.

 

[wingman75]

We are losing this game. Brutal PP and never converted. Sammy lets in an awful goal. We had our chances to win this game but never did anything with it. Now the bruins will

Yup, I felt really good about the game at 0-0, and of course briefly with the lead. Hand it in hand... if we get down, I do not like our chances.

Hopefully they can kill the penalty and get back on the front foot!

 

[Torontonian]

Seems like you’re typical playoff Leaf letdown loss… these similar vibes and circumstances are unreal

There's nothing that screams that they will win it.

They HAVE to find a way here tho, this is too much of a winnable game to piss it away.

 

[ER89]

He's playing decently well? He's made more than just 1 great play.

marner is NOT the issue this game.

He's been objectively good.

Its the horeshit panicking when we have a lead bertuzzi not playing discplined and sammy allowing a f***ing back breaker

 

[Jojalu]

5on5 with the extra man there by the B's fwiw

You are correct sir. Leafs were on the PP already. Good point

 

[Burnie97]

Refs have called a fair game

Tavares looked soft on that 2 v 2 which led to that penalty at the end of 2nd

Leafs have been the better team 5 v 5 for the vast majority of the series

Boston's 4th line has been mostly unplayable so if the Leafs can continue to somewhat run 4 lines they'll eventually wear the Bruins down throughout the game/series

Win or lose, I'm happy with what this Leafs TEAM has finally become...

Refs should put away their whistles more often. That's the problem. Especially in the playoffs.

Gene is peak cringe.

Not the worse NHL has seen. All time cringe belongs to the Spartans and Senators

If you know you know

 

[ruaware41]

bench jarnkrok for nylander next game.
Hopefully mcmann is healthy soon to replace robertson if he starts playing bad.

 

[NJG]

Stop being negative boys we got this! Boston is lucky on a fluke bad goal, we got this! POSITIVITY BOYS!

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Good lord. Score and have all the momentum (great play by Marner), and just hand back the game to Boston with stupid undisciplined nonsense. Bertuzzi is more focused on Marchand than the actual play, and they score in the out of position chaos. Then we get a PP to try and fix his mess, and he takes a stupid penalty by hitting up high for no reason. If this is the "playoff Bertuzzi" we held out hope for, no thank you.

Refs doing pretty much as bad as expected, given the refs and teams involved. You can sense a game that could erupt and cause injuries because refs let it get out of control.

Good time for intermission. Settle down, and win.

Leafs defended that goal perfectly. Not sure how you can say Bertuzzi somehow contributed to that. Sammy just shit the bed bottom line

 

[Divine]

Bieksa has a point -- team that keeps its head best in the 3rd will probably win.

Staple Bertuzzi to the bench because you know Marchand is going to draw him into something stupid - if he's not sneaking money under the table to his old buddy.

 

[LeafsFan89]

I don't feel good about this game. I hope Matthews gets the next goal. We need him to continue being lights out.

 

[Sypher04]

Boston was always gonna get some calls, but I’m not actually convinced that last high sticking call that the stick even made contact with the bruin

 

[Leafsfanperson]

Media in overdrive defending Marner because of one great play.

I love everyone calling out the Toronto Sun.

All these media hacks that have to make nod to their liberal arts degree and attack one rightish wing tabloid.

Over Drive did the same as Sportsnet.

Sorry I've never seen someone bring The Toronto Star into work to pass break time.

 

[thewave]

Gotta find a way and break the special teams curse.

 

[Al14]

Are you serious. Marchand alone did 1 elbow, 1 hold and 2 hooks and trip and didn't grt called.... are you watching the same fkn game???

Exactly, a bunch of illegal Bruins stuff are being totally IGNORED !!!

That tackle on Matthews by McAvoy SHOULD have been called. It was a blatant hold and THREW Matthews to the ice.

Jacobs has his henchmen in stripes working their magic to HELP HIS BRUINS.

f*** off Jacobs, Bettman, and the NHL !!!

 

[Gallagbi]

Which coach do you think will do a better job having his guys stay focused ?

I can tell you which will get endless blame regardless of the answer

 

[ruaware41]

need a replay on that, anyone got one would be nice. Coyle has been an embellisher this series.

 

[keonsbitterness]

I have no choice but to say the Leafs.

 

[Notsince67]

Game ain't over. This is when it gets real.

What you peered into the yellow looking glass and seen the future?

Should I hit up my boy Jontay and bet365?
