  1. sansaset

    my god this leafs team is so boring at times

  2. MOshow1967

    Another period where we get about 0 high danger shots, nothing to be concerned about….

  3. nownowthethetalktalk

    That period needed some Leaf goals.

  4. Otherwise_Volume2690

    This is the one time deviating from the plan and throwing shots on net on the Sens rookie goalie could actually pay off. 5 shots in the first period to let him settle in? Bullshit.

  5. The regular season needs to be shorter. They are playing to avoid injuries.

  6. Svalbard38

    The Sens are playing solid hockey. That wasn’t good enough.

  7. internetman666

    Ever since the deadline the team just seems worse to me. Idk if the stats back that up but I do not have a great feeling about it.

  8. Significant_News_638

    Obviously tongue in cheek but I think I’d rather play Tampa than Ottawa in the playoffs lmao either these guys have their number or the leafs just can’t get up for these games but another sleepy period offensively

  9. ElephantShell34

    Did the Leafs have a decent scoring chance that period? Can’t really think of one. The Kerfoot drop pass to Nylander I guess but that’s not a tough save.

  10. VanAgain

    Rather than watch intermission I’m gonna grab ny neti pot and flush that period out of my nasal cavities.

  11. LimestoneLeaf

    No one gives Ottawa any credit. They have been a playoff team since Christmas and they will probably be a top 6 team in the East next year. They are always heavily motivated against the Leafs.

  12. Competitive_Ad2450

    I’m taking bets….

    Will the panel discuss the Leafs during the first intermission?

  13. Bobsleftshoe

    Our defence is so bad that we have to knock the net off

  14. NateTheSimpleOne

    What would you give team at the bench to motivate them for the second? I’m thinking cigars, maybe a meat spread

  15. i can’t believe i agree with elliot freidman on that. i worry we will be called for something that hasn’t been called in the regular season

  16. TheGameWaker

    Friedman trying to make something out of nothing

  17. CamThompson

    Friedman speculating that we’ll get burned by a net coming off call during the playoffs – basically suggesting that the refs will call something completely counter to what they’ve called all regular season in a key moment of a playoff game.

    Thankfully, we know that will ***never*** happen, right?

  18. thepastwave

    When is ROR supposed to be back? I know Acciari is day to day with an undisclosed and Gus is dealing with personal. Would be great to have those guys back in the lineup!

  19. For all of you complaining about how boring it is, the Leafs are one hit/shot block away from having their playoff hopes dashed into the shadow realm

    What would you want them to do right now? Try hard or preserve for Game 1 in 2 weeks?

  20. recurringdollar

    Judging by the comments is a good thing I just turned on the game now and didn’t catch the 1st.

  21. Clearly cruising into the playoffs.. I’d rather they play with intensity but this is what happens when you lock down a playoff spot unfortunately

  22. Kinglokner16

    Honestly what do you think Keefe sees in Lafferty?
