[TheNumber4]

And the rest of my evening is going to be spent liking every comment in this thread.

Leafs elimination day is liem Christmas to me.

It really is the BEST day in Hockey.

tfw you score 12 goals in a 7 game series and blame your goalie and not your $40m 'core four' forward group

 

[Icelevel]

Beautiful. The better team won. And they didn’t even play that well.
Nice job Swayman. Pastrnak comes through. What a guy.

Woll is the new shiny toy apparently. Toronto skaters and Boston poor efforts made Woll's record what it was this series. Toronto was close tonight but not in complete defensive sync as opposed to the two games with Woll.

Certainly, blame the goalie.

One goalie was swept by Swayman
The other goalie was undefeated by Swayman

Even the HNIC NHL goalie blamed Samsonov.

 

[JS19]

How the hell are people blaming samsonov

Matthews, Tavares, Marner were complete no shows again.

With that much money invested in forwards, if your goalie gives up 1 goal in regulation, you shouldnt be in overtime.

Because Samsonov can't get you momentum-building saves. Look at Swayman. Boston's offense was quiet as hell, and yet Swayman kept them in the game until Pastrnak woke up.

Rule 57.3 of the NHL rulebook states: “If, in the opinion of the referee, a player makes contact with the puck first and subsequently trips the opponent in so doing, no penalty shot will be awarded, but a minor penalty for tripping shall be assessed.”

It's amazing how good they are at crushing their fanbase. Every. Single. Year.

Other way around.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

One day I might feel bad for the Leafs, but that day ain't today.

The goaltending was good for the Leafs. They need to score more than 1 or 2 goals.

 

[Icebreakers]

Where was mr 69 goal guy. Mr Generational goal scorer?

How many shots did Swayman have?

Samsonov played a good game. Don't think the Pastrnak goal was his fault.

Woll was great. Samsonov was shaky

 

[Divine]

How many shots did Swayman have?

Less than Samsonov. He had to stop a few breakaways.

He also didn't allow a muffin like this all series moments after this team takes a lead:

 

[The Winter Soldier]

It was closer than the other ones. Bruins truly could have lost this game 7.

Bruins getting it done with Coyle and Zacha as their top 2C's is nothing short of a miracle. If the Bruins had a 36 year old Crosby, and Bergeron still. I would give them a huge chance to win it all. I know this is just a what if, but as a hockey fan I can't help but think had Sweeney been able to upgrade the C position, this Bruins team would be crazy good. Goodluck against Florida. For me, they are the team to beat in this conference. Fast, hard on the puck, character players, physical and great defensively. No disrespect the Leafs, they played a good series, but they are nowhere close to Florida in all facets of the game.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I'm not sure what Woll has to do with Austin Matthews' goal scoring ability decreasing by 65% in the playoffs.

Absolutely nothing. He's reaching hard.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Nylander in peak defensive mode as usual. Those slumped shoulders lmao

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

You wouldn't think Pig Papi could look any uglier than his Jon Lovitz tribute look yet here we are with proof.

 

[TheDizee]

maybe this is the offseason they finally understand you cant commit that much cap space to floater forwards who underproduce anytime a team checks them hard. you win with forward depth who can check and great d and goaltending.

nah, who am i kidding. we will be back here next april!

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

How many games did Matthews play with Woll in net?

I cant wait for leafs fans to run him out of town next spring

Has someone checked on Biz?

Show some respect to the only Leaf goaltender to win a Playoff Series in 20 years.

 

[T REX]

Seriously man. he played great we get that but if he's so bloody good why wasn't he the clear #1 on the Bruins?
