  1. Sammy can only do so much. Why do the Leafs look so lifeless. Thank god we stole the last game – we might need another miracle tonight boys

  2. useless-loser1821

    Guys, we got lots of time. No stress.

  3. Flashy_Ad_3383

    Havent won a playoff series since 2004. This is hilarious to watch. The leafs truly are TRASH

  4. mattfromjoisey

    It’s been 10 minutes, doomers need to chill

  5. MrDookieJohnson

    cabbie stop trying to fuel my gambling addiction

  6. sansaset

    lol these guys gonna cruise and take another 1st period off cuz why the fuck not

  7. 1nimicaL

    Time for the boys to get off there asses and play like they want to win this fucking thing

  8. 1columbia

    Keefe: 3 of our lines were underwater

    Also Keefe: *starts the exact same lineup*

  9. 100MScoville

    I swear they did none of this dump and chase shit all season what a weird time to start…also what a weird time to keep doing it after it sucked ass all of G3

  10. queenw_hipstur

    Not in love with the energy (or lack thereof) tonight. Hoping this acts as a wake up call. They need to bring it. We are the better team, we just need to act like it!

  11. limjaheybud

    For a second I thought I was still watching “game in 30”

  12. krombough

    Gang, the Leafs are doing fine. Apparently this thread thinks Tamp aren’t still dangerous, and would just fall over.

  13. anotherbusstop

    Tampa is playing entry and neutral zone very tight and its giving them no options to get in because the Leafs like to skate the puck in and pass… which is leading to the leafs losing posession because they’re terrible at dump and chase hockey

  14. theguyishere16

    Always get screwed by the dumb penalties. Gotta get it back.

  15. Dopey_Bandaid

    The boys gotta play with some urgency. Standing like pylons during that penalty kill is even more embarassing after seeing how Tampa killed their penalty.

  16. EddyMcDee

    We’ve been getting crushed in faceoffs these last two games as well it seems.

  17. moonmonkey73

    Bolts are making entry to o zone tough… that’s why they keep dumping it in… which doesn’t seem to be working…. they’ve shut down marner and matthews entries very well.

  18. EntryDiligent6908

    Their heavy forecheck is eating us alive again

  19. FlyingDickTwist

    Incoming “it has only been 10 minutes”

    Completely ignoring how bad the team has played 8/11 periods in this series

  20. Sadclocktowernoises

    Classic leafs dump and change hockey
