GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Game #1 Tuesday @ 7:30pm | Legacy

[Jimmy Firecracker]

We’re all here because we’re masochists but how many people tuned out of what could’ve been an exciting game because Wes was more interested in spoon-feeding Tampa powerplays?

Leafs wont lose another game in the series. This embarrassment is a blessing in disguise.

You love to see it

no way I want Kerfoot anywhere near Marner. He will waste so much of Marner passes. Knie is the finisher for that line if you wanted to run that way.

the goal is to put ROR-Marner as the shutdown line that can score and staple them against tampa's first line. Kerfoot is there by default not by choice b/c there isn't any other top6 winger.

Knies should be sheltered especially with last change

Does Samsonov being 1-7 in the playoffs concern anyone?

ROR tried for a bit which was nice but then he realized what a bunch of losers he was with and said f*** it too

 

[All Mod Cons]

Nylander is the only one showing pride.

Just play him to win.

He's the only one who ever does. And the organization generally f***s him around. Sums us up to be fair

 

[fahad203]

For a team getting embarrased, it sure doesn't feel like it
Man run somebody over
Take a swing at someone

Jesus

 

[MarnerElite]

I think someone already mentioned but Knies should be in. Gustafsson should be in. Ljiljigren should have been in already because no reason to have slower dmen against a fairly quick TB team. The lines are mostly wrong. So many mistakes made.

kick him off pp one and reward stone cold losers who suck the team dry of cap money liek ugly vampires, i.e. matthews and marner

With what happened with the refs in this game I am not holding it against him.

 

[RoadWarrior]

Imagine being a coach and betting your career on Holl. Dude still bumbling the puck in 7 goal blowout.

Liljegren > Holl.

everyone knows this except Keefe.

 

[Cleetus]

I dont think the leafs win a game in this series, just cant see it!

 

[TorontoTrades]

At what point do the boys try and mix it up and send a message that you won't get pushed around. Looks like Leafs just want to leave.

 

[MarnerElite]

JT should show how good of a captain he is by going after one of their better players...Not like he's done much anyways(yea good screen but who cares).

 

[Teeder Keon]

I’m actually more disappointed and pissed off at our try here in the 3rd
They have 4 d
We should have kept hitting and trying to win
This isn’t good

 

[saffronleaf]

Thinking about it, I' think id actually prefer the team get blown out in a game 1 situation than lose like 1-0 after getting goalied.

Let them feel some shame and humiliation and (hopefully) turn it into anger starting game 2

lol that seems to assume that this is a resilient team. more likely they'll just continue losing. which frankly is better might as well lose in four than seven and we fcan get on with our summers

It concered Ovechkin. He yelled at him after giving up a bad goal last year in OT

JT is playing?

 

[TMLife17]

Here comes another meaningless PP so the stats dont look so skewed.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Does Samsonov being 1-7 in the playoffs concern anyone?

He wasn't great, but he had a lot of (no) help.

 

[GojuLeaf]

They should give him a trip and a dive...

 

[PromisedLand]

Leafs DJ is really pissing me off

Haven't they been trying this strategy for a decade now?

You must be new to Leafs hockey

 

[notbias]

Gotta even up the calls now that the game is out of reach
