GDT: Game 4: Bruins @ Leafs | HNIC | Justice League Edition | Sat Apr 27, 8 pm EST

[hfman]

Hyman was never good here in the playoffs, he scored at the rate of a 3rd/4th liner.

most players are never good here

they're good before they play here, or good after they play here. But never good while they're on this team.

It's not a joke either. Plenty of players move on to other teams where they tear it up.

Just wait.

When they ship out Marner to another team he'll tear up the league with 120 points in his first season away from here.. they all do it. Get out of Toronto and they flourish. book it

Surprised Boston is still better with no Bergy, Krejci, Chara, and Rask anymore. That's the problem, how can you not see it? Our overpaid 4 amigos can get lost for all I care.

I'm convinced if we switch goalies this is the last game of the series and we move on.

A big thing with Boston is Swayman covers up a lot of their issues.

They haven't been the better team.

 

[cyborg]

Watch the way the Leafs play and watch how every other team in the playoffs play. There's another gear even the losing teams go to. The Leafs always look like they're skating on mud and they look so confused out there.

You nailed it>

 

[Stephen]

Guys look like they’ve already lost the series

Think that Florida series introduced more psychological damage to this group than we previously realized. Before they would at least be competitive in a series going to 7 before going off the rails. But that mini meltdown by Matthews, Marner and Nylander in Game 2 after they came out strong in the first kind of created a new psychological profile. They just came out like trash in Game 3, then played like the most perfect game in Game 4, lost in 5.

 

[Torontonian]

Coaching (special teams and system / adapting) and goaltending is the downfall of this team.

 

[BTP]

If Keefe trots out the same PP next time, I am convinced he is throwing the series

They need to swap Domi and Tavares. Get Rielly off

Domi, Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Bertuzzi.

Total lack of preparation, looks like their alarms went off at 6:30 and they ran out of bed to the rink.

 

[egd27]

6 shots with two pp

Team really gets the importance of this game. The leadership in this org is
Off the charts

 

[Nineteen67]

Boston will catch a bunch of breaks and fluke out a trip to the SCF and once again in July they’ll rewrite history about how close they are.

 

[SwissLeaf]

Leafs are going to win. An ugly win is needed and we'll get it tonight!

 

[socko]

To be fair, we did get to see some Leafs heart and soul and playoff warriors today.
During the Bob Cole tribute.

You couldn't pay someone to coach a series worse.

 

[Stephen]

Keefe's going to be in Pittsburgh before Canada Day.

 

[IPS]

No you are not. Very accurate assessment.

Or better colloquially kown as "getting goalie'd". But it appears that line of reasoning has vanished into thin air as Dubie no longer runs the team.

They thought Willy would save them.

Just another game, follow the process, etc.

 

[JamieG19]

Always an excuse

Dude, this is why players don’t want to sign in Toronto. The man is under the weather with an upset stomach and you don’t care…

 

[PanniniClaus]

great opener

 

[TheShape]

Whoever gets out of this series is getting dog walked by Florida

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Good shift here...1st line again though. Kind of a broken record.

 

[Nineteen67]

Everyone keeps talking about Swayman this, Swayman that. Have we even really tested him? He's been good but our problem is we're not even making him have to try.

Am I out to lunch?

I don’t think he’s made a great save yet.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Alright I've vented my frustrations about the offense

Score 3 in this period.

 

[Nevins]

Watch the way the Leafs play and watch how every other team in the playoffs play. There's another gear even the losing teams go to. The Leafs always look like they're skating on mud and they look so confused out there.

The question is WHY?

 

[SprDaVE]

Can the Leafs lift the puck with a shot and hit the f***ing net?

 

[IPS]

You couldn't pay someone to coach a series worse.

Did you see the garbage team that Randy Carlyle had almost beating a far better Boston team in 2013? The 4-1 collapse was shit and all, I get it, but Carlyle wasn't some coaching genius either yet he's leagues above Keefe.
