Out of Town Scoreboard 2017-18 season III: Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Devils Dominion]

Boston will rough up TB but won't beat them

 

[Bleedred]

They only have 19 shots! If Rask didn’t suck this would be long over.

They looked worse than us after Vatanen got injured.

They really need to clean some of the deadweight off that team after this year.

Polak shouldn't be an NHL player anymore, Hainsey needs to be their #6 pronto.

 

[Blackjack]

JVR next game may be in Red and Black

Cut to the TML fans outside now

Will look like a John Carpenter movie.

 

[NJDevs26]

Seriously how do you blow a lead and give up 3 unanswered in the third period of a game 7?

Toronto's us with a better offense and more consistent goaltending this season, but the latter didn't exactly help them tonight. Gardiner must be their Damon Severson in another few years lol

7-4 Boston. Rat-face scores EN.

Guess it will end there.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Marner too

Definitely not Marner, thought he was great in the offensive end.

 

[MadDevil]

Any NHL defense that is icing both Ron Hainsey and Roman Polak in key roles in 2018 likely isn't going to win many playoff series.

We should organize a get together at Taste Venue when someone ends his career. Can't happen soon enough.

Matthews was totally shut down.

We complain about Lovejoy but I'd take him over either guy tbh.

 

[Bleedred]

Like I said, TML is an overrated team.

Their defense is trash, and their offense is overrated, and I actually don't hate the team.

Their defense is terrible. Of all the teams that made the playoffs this year there D is worse.

Yeah, Greene is as bad as Hainsey now, but Polak is one of the worst in the league. We don't have a defenseman as bad as him. Guy can't skate, can't move the puck, can't do anything other than ''Defend'' because he can't escape his D-zone. I'm convinced that Seth Helgeson wouldn't be too much worse than Polak, if he was in an NHL role full time.

 

[Darkauron]

Good f*** THE LAFFS

 

[NJDevs26]

Wonder what happens to Lou now...he's not gonna want to leave not having won a playoff series but he might not have a choice.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Definitely not Marner, thought he was great in the offensive end.

Nah

 

[Cheddabombs]

 

[Billdo]

Is Gardiner as bad as he looked tonight?

 

[DerekDevils30]

Let that game assure you to stay the f*** away from Gardiner. He is TERRIBLE

 

[Devils Dominion]

What did they give up for Plekanic?

 

[MadDevil]

Matthews was totally shut down.

I'm patiently waiting for the eventual "Leafs can't win with Matthews" takes from the Canadian media.

And this is exactly why advanced stats and things like corsi exist, but you really shouldn't need them as evidence that these guys are both poor defensemen. Shanny, Babcock and even Lou should know better.

Hainsey playing most of the minutes that Letang would have gotten if he weren't injured last year was a huge reason that Pittsburgh was getting outshot a lot more in the playoffs last year, than in 2016 when they were demolishing teams like the Lightning and Sharks in shots and possession most of the series.

 

[BahlDeep]

Remember when there was a Vatanen vs Gardiner on the mainboard lmao, and leafs fans we're saying how Gardiner is better then Vats lol

 

[glenwo2]

 

[Devils Dominion]

Hate Marchand but love Pasternak

 

[MadDevil]

What did they give up for Plekanic?

Rychel, Valiev, 2018 2nd round pick.

 

[kiwidevil]

When do Matthews, Nylander, Marner etc. ELC's end?
For all the gloating Leafs fans do about taking time with this build, and losing in the 1st round doesn't matter for now. It gets a lot harder to squeeze these guys, plus the Dmen they need under a cap.
