GDT: Stanley Cup Qualifier Game 5: CBJ @ Leafs - Aug. 9th, 8:00 PM ET - SN, TVAS, NBCSN

[CaptainCrunch17]

Goalies look great when you actually play team defense.

 

[ToneDog]

Winning the lottery tomorrow should start the healing.

 

[Advanced stats]

Agreed.

Unless winning counts for something.

Better team doesn't always win.

 

[MattySnipes]

Definitely disappointed in all our forwards tonight. Not one goal. Only top line had heartbeat. Got a bit unlucky for sure, but we got enough luck for 10 years in Game 4.

 

[htpwn]

that's delay of game is it not?

 

[saffronleaf]

cant wait til hughson gets fired because no one is left to watch these playoffs and his horrible commentary

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Win or lose tonight, I will relentlessly insist that Toronto has been the better team all series.

Why? Because they had more zone time to skate around in circles? This isn't the regular season.

 

[DarkKnight]

That horrible angle goal is the Leafest of Leafy things. I mean are we literally jinxed?

 

[Jets2point0]

When the going gets tough, (insert joke here)

 

[Dreakmur]

If a Columbus player speared a lead like that, how many leafs jump the guy like the whole Columbus team just did?

 

[LeafsFan89]

I am sick of this team not winning anything. Not one playoff series. Not even a god damn qualifier. The players should be ashamed of themselves, especially at the amount they are being paid.

But as poster here corrected me earlier, guess they have some Fortnite to get to.

 

[LastOne2100]

No way we're coming back twice in 2 games.

Columbus really proved that defense is more important than offense this series.

Gotta get rid of one of the $11m players and get some serious help to the blueline.

 

[TimeZone]

Lots of people forgot what this team actually is, and let a couple playoff games fool them.

Hey I was never a believer but even I expected them to beat a team as bad as Columbus.

 

[theTTC]

Leafs getting rag-dolled in front of CBJ net. Men against soyboys.

 

[Menzinger]

Win or lose tonight, I will relentlessly insist that Toronto has been the better team all series.

The frustrating thing is they definitely were. 1-2 different flukey goals in the Leafs favor could have changed things dramatically

 

[leafsfan5]

How the f*** do we have a miraculous comeback last game and lay a f***ing goose egg the next. f*** this team

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Well we should’ve expected this. It’s PEAK Leafs that they’d toy with our emotions in his way. They ALMOST flame out in game 4, instead pull us back with an emotional comeback, only to go out with a whimper in game 5.

Like honestly what the f*** was I thinking getting optimistic. Stupid stupid stupid.

 

[TheDoldrums]

marner has been shockingly bad

also congrats to freddy for being the 3rd best goalie in the series

 

[A1LeafNation]

Andersen played great this series on a team that can't score.

He is not clutch. He will not be protected in the expansion draft.

Marner for McDavid or Eichel. Which ever one wants out of their team.

 

[fahad203]

Let's be honest. A D core with Holl and Ceci now without Barrie
That means Marincin

Do you know what Kucharov will do to them?

 

[Chief keefe]

Not over until it’s over. But man is this deflating. Such a leafs thing to do.

 

[Duffman955]

f***in hit so many dam posts this series as well

 

[DarkKnight]

Simpson seems to want to blame marincin when it's 100% on the goalie. To start, he should have stopped it on the way around the net. And of course the shot beating him was brutal.

1000 percent goalie.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

If Andy choked, then same can be said about the forwards if they can't score 1 goal in a deciding game.

Yup.

Summary of our playoffs.

Leafs cant buy a goal and the goalie Freddy lays an egg when you need him most

 

[Wendelstache]

wtf was that downy commercial, my eyes just fried.

 

[Gallagbi]

Goalies look great when you actually play team defense.

We've generated better chances than them tonight and over the series, but their goalies have looked better

 

[glue]

Win or lose tonight, I will relentlessly insist that Toronto has been the better team all series.

I understand what you’re trying to say, but defensive Play is part of the game and actually ‘scoring’ is necessary and leafs haven’t been good enough In both respects
