[LeafSadist]

Feels bad man

 

[WilliamNylander]

Zaitsev looks bad.

Bozak line is a liability on the road.

Sigh. We can win the next 2.

 

[slozo]

Title should be,

"Leafs lose on an extremely lucky break and a bad bounce".

Just sayin'.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Sucks. Poor defensive breakdown costs us again.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

That was Nylanders worst game in awhile, sucks.

 

[Myopic]

Blame Rielly for that goal.

 

[BTP]

1 PP goal made the difference.

 

[Cor]

Played a good game. Unfortunate Williams was there on one of our lone defensive breakdowns.

I wouldn't be shocked to see some changes next game.

 

[Kiwi]

On to the next one

There's no need for anyone to hang there heads
Just come out with something to prove the next game

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

We'll win game 6 and 7

Still looking forward to matching up with the Pens in the 2nd round

 

[Woodman19]

Almost like we are a team with like 10 rookies

 

[BertCorbeau]

Meh, it happens ... tight checking game, could have gone either way

 

[socko]

Entire Bozak line played like garbage.

 

[bunjay]

Rielly just stopped skating instead of making that a 50/50 battle on the boards, then covered nobody. Nylander with a nonexistent backcheck.

How does that happen a minute into OT man. ****.

 

[FlareKnight]

Fun...

We'll see what happens. Hopefully they can handle the pressure and win Game 6. Not a good situation though. The PP isn't showing up at all. The defense is banged up.

They're not done. But their odds of getting a win in this series went down significantly.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

We'll win game 6 and 7

Still looking forward to matching up with the Pens in the 2nd round

Love you, dude

 

[thewave]

Morgan went to go chase the puck behind the net (bad choice) realized his mistake but it was to late. Nylander also guilty of floating.

****ing sucks.

 

[TMLeafer]

D-men both behind the net, Andersen flinched like he was going to play it but stayed in net, wingers snoozing, 5 hole goal. Crappy end to the game.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Zaitsev looks bad.

Bozak line is a liability on the road.

Sigh. We can win the next 2.

They've been terrible. It's such a disadvantage when you can't count on them to be a mess defensively. And then to have them be completely ineffective offensively it's like they may as well not even be playing.

 

[hockeyes]

Caps are not winning anything.

Too many Leaf players are totally spent though, JVR/Bozak/Marner/Zaitsev look terrible out there now. Waiting until game 81 to clinch is the reason they will lose the series, can't play full out for 5+ weeks straight, next year will be better unless injuries get them.

 

[Azazel]

Feels bad Man,

but it ain't over yet.

 

[Clark4Ever]

I ain't even mad. We showed up tonight big time, and this game could have gone either way.

 

[BTP]

Also would be nice if the Marner line woke up. Its like a secret weapon we have just sitting dormant.

 

[Daisy Jane]

bummed that we lost - but glad for what this presents itself.

1: Leafs now facing elimination for the first time. let's see how they respond game six.
2: potential game seven scenario. (which is something I now want the Leafs to experience).

I still think we can get the win and we're playing on Tuesday.
