Leafs can’t close, Matthews and Marner shooting blanks.

[Wats]

I get it, but I think the Leafs are mentally defeated. In their minds they have nothing to combat the Habs with.

The were dominating Montreal after the dumb series of events that led to it being 2-0. If they were defeated mentally, that push wouldn't be there.

If I were in a leafs fans does I'd definitely feel disheartened, especially with the team's history. But as someone who followed this Habs team all year, they are bad and Leafs just need to shoot more.

Lightning can't strike this many times. Tying a series after being down 3-1 doesn't mean loss either. Bruins did same thing to Montreal in 2008.

Three times last year!

 

[Evincar]

This series is seriously underrated. Anyone who thinks winner gets smashed by WPG is out to lunch.

The last 2 games have been entertaining. The first 4 were a snoozefest.

Either the leafs show up on Monday, or big changes are coming.

Jack bailed them out time after time, but we always show up late.

Jack better set a watch for the whole team, if we start on time, we cant lose.

If we don't. A lot of their brothers won't be back next season.

Also since this is the mainboard, we are also out our third best player + Captain. That hurts anyone.

Matthews has one assist in the last four games.

In addition to this:

Marner has two assists in the last four games. Both are secondary to boot.

Unacceptable. Very bad production from these two handsomely paid stars. Lucky for them they have 1 more game to change the script, bc boy if they lose 7 it'll be ugly in TO for a while.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Leafs are still the better team, Habs have no right even being in a game 7 against them let alone expecting them to win. Toronto won’t let prior playoffs choke define them in 2021, guaranteed the Leafs win

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Habs will bottle it. They're on their high horses but will fall on their tushes.

 

[Jeune Poulet]

I think many players from both sides haven't showed up. Both teams can do better and game 7 could go either way.

As much as I think game 7 will put a lot of pressure on the Leafs, I think this will benefit them. If guys like Matthews and Marner don't show up Monday, they never will.

This series is seriously underrated. Anyone who thinks winner gets smashed by WPG is out to lunch.

The real smashing will begin when the winner of the North meets Tampa Bay or Carolina.

Winnipeg isn't very good.

 

[TimeZone]

The question is...can Matthews drive his own line?

The answer is no.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Game 7 is must see TV. Leafs win this thread will be forgotten but Habs have to be licking their chops having Price on his game for a game 7!!

 

[jcs0218]

Matthews is homesick.

It's get-your-arse-out-in-public weather in Arizona.

If he wasn;t Toronto's "Golden Boy", he would have been suspended by the team for that. Even the media ignored it.

The Toronto Star, with their selective reporting and biased journalism, can be really disgusting sometimes.

By the way, I still think Rielly used a homophobic slur that one time, but only got away with it because it couldn't be conclusively proven. Another goof by the NHL and the Toronto-centric media, who love to shove everything pro-Leafs down everyone's throat.

 

[Brown Cat]

Ouch this thread lol

 

[North]

What if the US annexed Southern Alberta, would Matthew's come to Calgary?

If yes, tell Joey to send in the troops.

It’s always good to have dreams and/or fantasies.

 

[c9777666]

Matthews is basically getting a lot of chances

this is basically the series in a nutshell- Habs give up chances, but Carey Price being Carey Price

this series is over without #31

 

[jetsforever]

I think Spezza will carry the Leafs to a game 7 win. Montreal has done a good job of shutting down the heavy hitters so far

Spezza's been playing surprising well for a 75-year-old.

 

[TheHelmet]

Marner isnt shooting blanks

he's shooting the puck into the nosebleed section for no apparent reason

I still have no clue what the hell that was today with him

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Bunch a trolls saying Matthew's is leaving. Same type of idiots who say Mcdavid is leaving Edmonton.

they say hes going to Toronto though?!

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

This game seven has all the makings of a spectacle for the ages.

The building is going to be buzzing...

 

[Kiekura]

Even better is Sebastian Aho who is same type of player as Marner and lots of people were talking how Marner is better from two of them. Aho's playoff stats:

29 GP, 13 G, 18 A and 31 points.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Marner isnt shooting blanks

he's shooting the puck into the nosebleed section for no apparent reason

I still have no clue what the hell that was today with him

Practicing his chip shots before he hits the links.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Matthews might as well shave the 80s porn stache if he's shooting blanks.

Only way he's getting credit for shooting is if they bring in this guy.

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

What if Arizona team moves?

He meant the Nords.

 

[The National]

Yikes, pretty deep snake bite.

 

[Leaf Fans]

The laffs post game thread has them lighting pitchforks n gathering torches to run marner out o town. That'd be sweet. Could you imagine matthews without his set up man.

Some of them.
