56 years and counting. #FireTheShanaClan!
My only guess is that they thought they would not get to round #2 playing Tampa. I can't think of any other reason to play so poorly against Washington and Ottawa. We'll know by the way they play Saturday.
The Matty chase for 70 has really looked rough after 69.
Scares the hell out of me that this team still doesn't know what to do in these type of situations where they just need to execute.

You bet. The Refs might as well wear yellow on brown striped jerseys !!!
Our Leafs will have to outscore 2 teams on the ice !!!!

We have below average goaltending. It should be expected we get what we have.
Samsonov has given us average or better goaltending in the vast majority of his starts since he reset in the AHL
Yeah but Samsonov is also a goalie that plays purely on confidence. If he has a shit game to start, it will unravel pretty quickly.
I’d rather go with Woll and swap right away rather than waiting to be in a hole before making the change.

I can hear your voice shaking, hoping what you say is true.

Every year is different. We added more grit it seems but looks like at the expense of defense.
Hard to have half of your D struggling to make a first pass heading to the playoffs. The Bear and Edmundson should just follow Schenn workaround and just keep on bouncing them off the glass and give up possession.
I didnt really care who we played. Got to beat them at sometime to get to Lord Stanley which is the only goal.
Lets see how the refs call these playoffs.....the rules change as we all know. Boston likes PP and we struggle at PK and do you really expect our players to get calls ? Hasnt happened all year.
Hopefully our goalie whoever it is can stand on his head in these playoffs....because we need that position to be lights out.

Meh.
The refs will be a factor.
After our real problems: [Keefe Galaxy brain, PK, goaltending, PP, perimeter game, D can't clear the net] kill us.
I’ve been really impressed with Reaves play too, especially since coming back from his extended break. I’m concerned about the whistles. The leafs seem to have a bad history with questionable suspensions compared to the opponent
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have a lot of confidence in any of the options we’re presented with, but samsonov’s numbers are heavily weighed down by his horrendous play before he was demoted

Bruins, Panther...wasn't going to be easy either way. Probably both if they manage to beat the Bruins.
Doesn't matter, stop complaining and get behind your team!

They’re not being “fans”
They’re whining about hypotheticals in a chicken little circlejerk. Embarrassing is what they are.

Woll got both Bruins games recently, and was pretty lousy in both. I think coaching gave him those games on purpose to shield Samsonov from them in case we play them in round 1. (also why Woll just got the Florida start)
Samsonov will be the starter. The team just protected him a bit to keep his mental state intact.

There’s a legion of people who watch this team to be miserable. It’s an outlet for a miserable life

What are the chances our three 11 million dollar players actually step up this year? I’ve got some faith in Matthews after how he’s played this year but it wouldn’t have been the first time he’s fooled me. Zero faith in Tavares or Marner.
Despite that, I still think we have a chance at winning. We’ve got better depth scoring now and we are definitely tougher than years past. Should be a good series.

No kidding. After this long of a rebuild and people have to keep saying ok if this team can win and this team can do that and these guys can beat each other up, we may have some kind of chance.
You have to win 4 rounds. Who cares what the rest do. We have trouble winning 1 round. We should be good enough now to beat anyone in 7 by now.
