Goals are goals. Our defensemen need to stop letting them park in front of the net!

Sounds very familiar to a team I know…. Hmm…

That’s more on the defense to clear the garbage

I mean to Toronto’s credit, they developed a strategy that works against vasy and they are exploiting it. I know the bolts would do the same.

Everyone in here talking about how bad the D has been but nobody ever mentions how careless some of the forwards *cough Kucherov cough* have been with the puck in the defensive zone. We haven’t been good enough (the whole team) and the Leafs have definitely turned it up a notch.

Greasy goals? Naw, just really lucky ones. Am34’s snipe was a great shot, but his tip, while still impressive, was just puck luck. That’s the thing about hockey, metrics and analytics only go so far. At some point you need some puck luck. Between the goal pulled off the line by Knies, the goal disallowed against Point, and some serious game management by the zebras, everything has gone Toronto’s way so far. But this shit ain’t over.

That’s classic playoff hockey. The best teams do it.

I’m ready for a rebuild. As long as we keep our franchise guys i’ll be happy. But we’ll touch more into that when the playoffs end. Let’s just enjoy what might be the last lightning playoff game for the year tomorrow.

Plain to see this is the case

Those are fair points but the reality is both these teams stink defensively. 5 goals to win is not indicative of good defense. Whichever team wins this series faces a very daunting task in round 2.

I’m a Leafs fan so hate Vasy to my core in so many ways, but gotta hand it to this guy for being so grounded. Such a fucking pro.
Also Binnington is a little bitch. While I’m here.
